Page 4: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 M20 Series Mainframe Configurations The M20 controller is made up of 4 different models of mainframes which change based on the number of zones required. These are referred to as M20-XS, M20-S, M20-M, and M20-L. All of the mainframes employ the same temperature control module M20-M2, and the same sequence valve gate control module M20-V2. -

Chapter 2 Inspection & Installation 2.1 Unpacking and Inspection 1. After unpacking, inspect the mainframe and check for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. 2. Check the circuit breaker disconnect and neon phase voltage indicators for damage. 3. Check for proper operation of circuit breaker by flipping breaker on and off with no voltage applied. 4. - Page 11 2.3 Connecting the Power Cable (except M20-XS, M20-S Series) 1. Select the power input wire size according to the load power, and the national and local electrical codes. (if required) 2. Remove the metal cover of the power input terminal block by removing screws around its perimeter. 3.

Page 23: Chapter 6 Temperature Control Operations
Chapter 6 Temperature Control Operations 6.1 Control Modes [Auto] This type of control is a “closed-loop” system and requires a thermocouple feedback signal. The controller uses a PID algorithm to determine the required output power to hold the actual temperature value equal to the setpoint. - Page 24 6.3 Detail Parameters for Each Zone Parameter Description Setpoint Target temperature: full scale. High deviation alarm value. Alarm High When actual value > Setpoint+Alarm High, zone alarms and shut off output. Low deviation alarm value.
