CEMLINE CORPORATION CEM-TROL control module and other electronic controls are designed for indoor use only, unless otherwise required by design specifications.
The combination of electricity and water can pose a very dangerous situation. Assure that all power has been shut off/disconnected and locked out in an appropriate manner, before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures. Areas of potential danger: 1. all electric power leads and connections; 2.
If either high temperature limits are exceeded the alarm horn will also sound and the alarm light(s) will light red. The CEM-TROL also features an alarm silence relay which will silence the alarm but not the fault light when the generator is being serviced.

Built in contacts to notify BAS (Building Automation System) of functions and alarms: This control allows for simple and reliable interface from a remote location. The BAS can also start and stop the packaged water heater. BAS can remotely read the temperature in the packaged water heater via a 4 –...
Alarm approximately 103 db. NEMA 4 enclosure The Cemline CEM-TROL is a self contained board and can not be field repaired. For a replacement board contact Cemline Corporation at the address shown on page one of this manual.
Controller Screens Controller screens: There are three tactile keys on the front of the panel. The center key, labeled Menu ( ), is pushed to select the desired function. The right key, labeled Alarm Silence [SELECT], is pushed to access the desired screen.

Setting the Controller There are three tactile keys on the front of the panel. The center key, labeled Menu , is pushed to select the desired function.
SET: This is the operating temperature set point of the water heater. TEMP: This is the temperature reading of the water in the heater. CEM-TROL Version 3.2 and higher the display screen will be slightly different than above and is shown below:...
I-P transducer or an electronic control valve the temperature set point of the water heater will be selected using the CEM-TROL. This feature is not functional when using a pilot operated valve with self-contained temperature pilot.
Screen 4 High Limit 1 Degrees F [xxx] 3. Press “ ” key to change temperature setting in an increasing direction or press “ ” key to change the temperature setting in a decreasing direction until the desired high limit temperature appears on the screen.
Secondary High Temperature Limit This is the secondary high limit temperature is typically set 20-30 F higher than the desired operating temperature. When the secondary high limit temperature is reached a solenoid opens to dump overheated water to drain. Be sure to pipe the outlet from this solenoid to drain. CAUTION: When using the self-contained temperature pilot DO NOT set the operating temperature greater than the primary or secondary high limit settings.
6. Press the [SELECT] key and the screen will read: Screen 6 Differential 2 Reset Deg F [xxx] 7. Press “ ” key to change temperature setting in an increasing direction or press “ ” key to change the temperature setting in a decreasing direction until the desired secondary high limit temperature differential appears on the screen.
Setting PID Gain Kp (Proportional) The operating controls are factory preset for optimal control of the water heater. The Kp (Proportional) is used to handle the present. Kp (proportional) is a constant used to send a signal to the output. The proportional control with a set point of 140 F and a proportional band of 10 would have a 100% output at 130 F, 50% output at 135...
4. Press [SELECT] key to place the setting in memory and return to the home screen. Remote Control The CEM-TROL can operate with a remote temperature set point. The remote temperature set point allows the Building Automation System (BAS) to supply a constant 4 – 20 mA signal to the controller.
4. Press [SELECT] key to place the setting in memory and return to the home screen. Control Output The CEM-TROL has three output settings options. The output setting options are 0 – 10, 2 – 10, or a AIR VALVE. The 0-10 setting will output a 0-10 VDC control output signal to the control valve, the 2 –10 setting will output a 0-10 VDC control output signal to the control valve, and the...

It is extremely important that the control signal of the control valve supplied and the “Control Output” listed in the CEM-TROL be the same. The water heater is factory shipped with the “Control Output” properly set for the supplied control valve’s actuator.
Maximum Output The CEM-TROL can be adjusted to limit the maximum output voltage being sent to the control valve. The maximum output setting can be set as 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, or 5 VDC. The maximum output setting is used to limit the maximum stroke of the control valve. The maximum output adjustment is only available when the “Control Signal”...
About This screen lists the version of the controller. When contacting the factory about the controller be sure to mention the version. 1. Press the [Menu] key fifteen (15) times and the following screen will appear: Screen 16 ABOUT 2. Press the [SELECT] key and the screen will read: Screen 16 ABOUT CEMLINE VER...
Building Automation System (BAS) Interface The CEM-TROL has built in contacts to interface with the building automation system (BAS). Remote On-Off: Terminal block P-1 is a four pole block with the two poles connected in series with the 24 VAC incoming power from the supply transformer.
Remote Temperature Read-Out (via a 4-20 mA signal): Terminal block P-3 (terminals 1-2) will output a 4-20 mA signal. This signal will be scaled as 4 mA = 32 F and 20 mA = 212 CAUTION: Terminal block P-3 terminals 1-2 are connected to an isolated chassis ground.
6. Turn power back on. Cem-trol units version 2.0 and higher will display the below alarm status on the LCD screen if the temperature sensor(s) are not attached or are defective. In order to determine the version of the Cem-trol please refer to the ‘About’...
MXG and MXF Valve Information The MXG and MXF valves can be configured for linear and equal percentage operation. Factory setting is equal percentage. Switch Characteristic Linear Equal percentage * Control signal — must be in the OFF position Volts or mA — must be in the OFF position Valve Calibration The MXG and MXF valves are factory-calibrated at 0% and 100% stroke.
Page 36
Warning The control valve has a hand wheel knob on the top of the valve (see diagram below). This control knob must be placed into the automatic position (AUTO). The AUTO position allows automatic control of the valve to occur. By placing the hand wheel in the OFF position the valve will not close. Do not place the wheel in the manual position.
M3P and M2H Valve Information Valve Calibration The M3P and M2H valves are factory-calibrated at 0% and 100% stroke. When commissioning the valves, however, (especially under extreme conditions of use) there may still be some leakage via control path 1 —>2 for the M2H and 1 —>3 for the M3P (see below, and marked on the valve) with a 0% stroke control signal (DC 0V, DC 4 mA or DC 2 V).
MVF Valve Information The MVF valve can be configured for linear and equal percentage operation. Factory setting is equal percentage. Status green calib. / Man Calib. Status error calib. error 2 ... 20 V 4 ... 20 mA [mA] Switch Volts or mA —...
