WIRING DIAGRAM ■ ■Wiring Precautions: 1. Before wiring, verify the controller label for correct model number and options. 2. For thermocouple input, use the appropriate compensation wire. And note the polarity of input signal. 3. To avoid noise induction, keep input signal wires away from instrument power lines, load lines and power lines of other electrical equipment.

adjust this parameter to better suit the application. When PB=0.0, this parameter will be not available. When set to zero, Pb & td ≠ 0 for PD control Derivative (Rate). This value is automatically calculated by activating the Auto tune function. If desired, the user can later 0-900sec adjust this parameter to better suit the application.

Symptom Probable Solution - Sensor break error - Replace sensor - Sensor not connected - Check that the sensor is connected correctly - Unit must be repaired or replaced - A/D converter damage - Check for outside source of damage such as transient voltage spikes - Auto tune time out error Set Pb, ti, td manually...
Controller Overview Controller Wiring The controller must be wired before use. The controller’s input, outputs, and AC power are connected via its rear terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram for details. Programming Menus The controller uses a menu-based programming format. The menu levels are USER, PID, OPTION, and SOFT-START.
Specifications General Specifications Display Dual 7-segment 4-digit LED: Red digits for Process Variable (PV) and green digits for Setpoint Variable (SV) Display range -1999 to 9999 Indicating accuracy ± (0.2% full scale + 1 digit) Display update rate 4 readings per second Output status indication Front panel Alarm (A1 and A2) and Control (C1 and C2) status LED’s inform the user when an output switches on or off.
