Novus N321R Operating Manual

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
N321R
OPERATING MANUAL V1.8x F
The N321R is a controller for cooling applications, with defrost function (forced compressor
shut-down). It accepts NTC, Pt100 and Pt1000 temperature probes, depending on the
product code (the user must observe the measurement range of the selected sensor). The
N321R control output is capable of driving a compressor load of up to 1 HP directly.
The features of a particular model (input sensor type, sensor range, mains supply, etc) are
identified by the label placed on the thermometer body.
SPECIFICATIONS
SENSOR INPUT: The sensor is chosen by the user at the time of purchase and is presented
on the upper side of the equipment box. The options are:
• Thermistor NTC, 10 kΩ @ 25 °C; Range: -50 to 120 °C (-58 to 248 °F);
Accuracy: 0.6 °C (1.1 °F);
Maximum error in the interchangeability of original NTC sensors: 0.75 °C (1.35 °F). This
error can be eliminated through the offset parameter of the equipment.
Note: For the NTC thermistor option, the sensor comes with the equipment. Its
operating range is limited to -30 to +105 °C (-222 to +221 °F). It has cable of 3 meters
in length, 2 x 0.5 mm², and can be extended up to 200 meters.
• Pt100; Range: -50 to 300 °C (-58 to 572 °F); α= 0,00385; 3 wires;
Accuracy: 0.7 °C (1.3 °F); according to IEC-751 standards;
• Pt1000; Range: –200 to 530 °C (-328 to 986 ºF); α= 0,00385; 3 wires;
Accuracy: 0.7 °C (1.3 °F).
Measurement Resolution:............................................................... 0.1 º from -19.9 to 199.9 º
..................................................................................... 1 ºC elsewhere
Note: The equipment keeps its precision all over the range, despite the lack of display
resolution in a part of the range does not allow its visualization.

Serial interface not isolated from input circuitry.
Serial interface isolated from input circuitry, except in 24 V powered model.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Fig. 01 below shows the controller connections to sensor, mains and outputs.
* The serial communication interface is optional.
Pt100 with 3 conductors: Terminals 11, 12 and 13 must have the same wire resistance for
proper cable length compensation. For 2 wire Pt100, short circuit terminals 11 and 13.
Recommendations for the Installation
• Temperature sensor drivers must go through the plant separate system for drivers of
control output and power supply if possible electroducts terrified.
• The controller's power should come preferably a campus network for instrumentation or
different from that used by phase control output.
• Installing RC filters (47 R and 100 nF, series combination) is strongly recommended at
contactor coils or any other inductors.
OPERATION
The controller requires the internal parameters to be configured according to the intended
use for the instrument.
The parameters are organized in 4 groups or levels.
Level

Upon power-up, the controller display shows for 1 second its firmware version. This
information is useful when consulting the factory. Then, the temperature measured by the
sensor is shown on the display. This is the parameter level 0 (temperature measurement
level).
