26. The display will read “Zone 1 Trip 2: Off”. Press & hold Enter until CT224 re- initializes the controller (about 3 seconds). 27. The current temp reading will now be displayed on the controller for Zone 1. 28. Heat the sensor until the alarm and output trip. (Hold onto the sensor to increase the temperature of the sensor or place inside of a plastic bag and then place the bag and sensor into a cup of warm water).

Output 1 set for reverse acting. Setting the output for reverse acting can be a good way to protect equipment in case of power interrupts to the CT224. You have now configured Zone 1 to trip on an under temp condition using hysteresis to untrip.

1. Press and hold any one of the keys on the front panel until the main menu is displayed. 2. Continue to set the settings from “Reverse Acting Outputs” to “Zone 1 Choose Input Type” as appropriate. 3. Set “Zone 1 Trip 1:” to 70º F, then press Enter.

5. Set “Offset for Zone 1: 100 Tenths”. 6. Press & hold Enter until CT224 re-initializes and the CT224 will display Zone 1 with current temp reading 10º F above the actual temperature. You have now configured Zone 1 with an offset of 10º F. The offset will allow you to improve accuracy of the readings and allow you to minimize the error present.

2. Move the cursor to 4. “Options”, then press Enter. 3. Select 3. “Freeze Outputs”, and then Enter. 4. The CT224 will then return back to the Main Menu with the cursor at “Monitor Zones”, press Enter again. 5. The CT 224 will re-initialize and return to its normal operating mode, displaying “Outputs Are Frozen”.

When this section is exited, either due to the 60-second timeout or exited by the user, the CT224 will automatically reset and start scanning with the new program settings. The CT224 will also reset when program settings are changed via the communications link using MincoSoft’s CT224 Software.

Modbus address. The valid range of addresses is from 1 to 247. If 0 is selected, the CT224 will not monitor the communication lines. Each CT224 is factory set to a default Modbus address of 1. If communications are not used, it is acceptable to leave the default address at 1.

Due to the 60-second timeout in the CT224, it is best to fill out the Setup Worksheet before configuring the unit. This will also allow you to have record of the settings that are programmed into the unit for future reference.

Manual Reset Only – This setting causes the outputs to latch. The outputs can only be reset by entering the Main Menu and selecting Manual Reset. (A password may be necessary to reset the relays.) Pressing Enter – The outputs will untrip when Enter is pressed. Minco Tel: 763.571.3121 • Fax: 763.571.0927 • www.minco.com...
