Chapter Starting Out With The Watlow Series 9801985, A Microprocessor-Based Control Single Input - Type J, K, T, N or Pt2 Flgure 1 - Series 980/985 Input Overview Output General Description Welcome to the Watlow Series 980/985, a dual output, single input, micropro- cessor-based, 1/8 DIN, auto-tuning temperature control, featuring the Auto- matic/Manual capability with bumpless transfer.
Putting Your Control To Work To put your Series 980/985 to work, we suggest the following steps: Read the User’s Manual. Plan your installation and wiring. Cut the panel mounting hole and install the control. Wire your Series 980/985 to the system. Start the system and tune the Series 980/985.
Chapter 2 How to Install and Wire the Series 9801985 System Planning This chapter tells you how to install the Series 980/985. All mounting and wiring information is right here. Because Watlow controls are thoroughly tested and "burned in" before leaving the factory, the Series 980/985 is ready to install when you receive it.
Noise Sources Switches and relay contacts operating inductive loads such as motor, coils, solenoids, and relays, etc. Thyristors or other semiconductor devices which are not zero crossover-fired (randomly-fired or phase angle-fired devices). All welding machinery. Heavy current carrying conductors. Fluorescent and neon lights. How To Decrease Noise Sensitivity Physical separatlon and wire routing must be given careful consideration in planning the layout of the system.

• Ground loops must be eliminated in the entire control system. There are obvious loops which can be spotted by studying the"as-built" wiring diagram. There are also the not-so-obvious ground loops that result from the technique of connecting internal circuit commons in the manufacturer's equipment. An example of this would be if a control circuit is designed to work with a grounded sensor input.
"Islatros" and other similar power line filters are designed to carry the power for the control circuit and “buffer” the control circuit from A.C. line noise. Devices like the lslatrol use media (electromagnetic filtering) other than electric circuits to filter out electrical noise. Take care in matching the power capabilities of the filter with power demands of the circuit.
Line Filtering Configurations For Controls These three diagrams show you filter configurations for removing input power noise. Choose the one best suited for your system. For very dirty or critical applications - use Power Supply (U.P.S.) Don’t fasten common mode line filters or filters with metal cases to metal that is at ground potential.
How to Install the Series 980/985 Figures 6,7 and 8 provide the Series 980/985’s panel cutout and dimensions. Do not, however, make your panel cutout until you are sure that you are placing the control in the best location. Read the noise guidelines at the beginning of this chapter before installing and wiring the Series 980/985.
How to Wire the Series 980/985 The Series 980/985 wiring is illustrated by model number option. Check the unit sticker on the control and compare your model number to those shown here and also the model number breakdown in the back of this manual. Series 980/985 internal circuits appear “inside“...

WARNING: Install high or low temperature limit control protection in systems where an overtemperature fault condition could present a fire hazard or other hazard. Failure to install temperature limit control protection where a potential hazard exists could result in damage to equipment and property, and injury to personnel. CAUTION: Do not jumper load power from the control power terminals.

980/985 Series Keys UP/DOWN keys When pressed simultaneously for 3 sec- onds, the Setup Menu appears displaying the LOC parameter. From the LOC pa- rameter, press the UP/DOWN keys again and the Calibration Menu appears. Increases the value of the displayed parameter.
Chapter How To Setup The Series NOTE: While in the Setup Setting up the Series 980/985 is a simple process. First configure the 980/ menu, all outputs 985’s features to your application in the Setup Menu, and then enter values in are OFF.
Setup Parameters At the top of the menu, the Series 980/985 displays the user level of operation in the Upper display, and the LOC parameter in the Lower display. When pressing the MODE key, the value of the next parameter appears in the Upper display, and the parameter itself is in the Lower display.
Latching: Selects whether the is an alarm. Latching alarms must be cleared before the alarm output will reset. Non-latching automatically resets the alarm output when the condition clears. The range is LAt or nLA, default is nLA. This only appears if the Ot2 = AL. Silencing: Selects alarms silencing (alarm inhibit).

Alarm Low: Represents the low process alarm or low deviation alarm. Displayed only when 0t2 parameter is AL. Alarm High: Represents the high process alarm or high deviation alarm.
Chapter 5 How to Tune and Operate Tuning - Automatic Auto-tuning: The Series 9801985 gives you the capability to automatically tune the PlD parameters to fit the characteristics of your particular thermal system. The auto-tuning procedure operates on a thermal response value - slow, medium, or fast.
Tuning - Manual For optimum control performance, tune the Series 985 to the thermal system The tuning settings here are meant for a broad spectrum of applications; your system may have somewhat different requirements. Manual and Automatic Operation To change from manual to auto operation, press the AUTO/MAN key twice. Manual operation provides direct (time proportioned % power) control of the outputs from -100% to 100%.
Indication of Auto/Manual operation is the LED located on the AUTO/MAN key. When the LED is ON, the control is in the Manual operation, an alarm condition is present, and the output de-energizes. When the LED is OFF, the control is in AUTO operation and the alarm is energized.
