SECTION 1: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 1.1 General This instrument is a microprocessor based single loop controller capable of measuring and displaying temperature, pressure, flow, and level from a variety of inputs. The control is configurable to be either high-limit, low-limit, or both types. Control functions, alarm settings and other parameters are easily entered through the front keypad.
FIGURE 1-1 Keys and Indicators 1.4 Process Variable/Setpoint Value Retransmission Output If the instrument is specified with this option, this output may be scaled over any desired range and re-transmitted, through optional Output 3.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND WIRING 2.1 General Information Electrical code requirements and safety standards should be observed and installation performed by qualified personnel. The electronic components of the instrument may be removed from the housing during installation. To remove the components, grip the side edges of the front panel and pull the instrument forward.
FIGURE 2-3 Panel Mounting the Controller 2.2 Wiring Guidelines Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation. 2.2.1 Installation Considerations Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial environment: •...
1. If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the listed devices, separate them by the largest distance possible. For maximum electrical noise reduction, the noise generating devices should be mounted in a separate enclosure. 2.
This instrument has been designed to operate in noisy environments, however, in some cases even with proper wiring it may be necessary to suppress the noise at its source. 2.2.4 Use Of Shielded Cable Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires. All analog signals should be run with shielded cable.
Page 12
FIGURE 2-4 Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and closes. This results in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a RC network properly sized can eliminate this arc. For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and 0.1 microfarad capacitor (1 000 volts) is recommended.
2.3 Sensor Placement (Thermocouple or RTD) Two wire RTD's should be used only with lead lengths less than 10 feet. If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it should be protected by the appropriate thermowell. The probe should be positioned to reflect true process temperature: In liquid media - the most agitated area In air - the best circulated area...
2.4 Input Connections In general, all wiring connections are made to the instrument after it is installed. Avoid electrical shock. AC power wiring must not be connected to the source distribution panel until all wiring connection procedures are completed. FIGURE 2-7A Main Supply The instrument will operate on 90-264V AC 50/6OHz main supply.

FIGURE 2-9 RTD Input Make RTD connections as illustrated below. For a three wire RTD, connect the resistive leg of the RTD to terminal 6 and the common legs to terminals 4 and 5. For a two wire RTD, connect one leg to terminal 5 and the other leg to terminal 6 as shown below.

2.5 Output Connections FIGURE 2-13 Relay Output 1 Connections are made to Output 1 relay as illustrated below. The contacts are rated at 5 amp resistive, 120/240 VAC. FIGURE 2-14 Relay Output 2 (Alarm or Annunciator) Connections are made to Output 2 relay as illustrated below. The contacts are rated at 2 amp resistive, 120/240 VAC.

SECTION 3: OPERATION 3.1 Power Up Procedure Verify all electrical connections have been properly made before applying power to the instrument. During power up, a self-test procedure is initiated during which all LED segments in the two front panel displays appear and all LED indicators are ON. When the self-test procedure is complete, the instrument reverts to normal operation.
3.3 Displays During configuration the upper display shows the parameter setting. The lower display shows the parameter code (tag name) for the currently selected parameter. During operation, the upper display shows the value of the process variable. The lower display shows the setpoint value. The operation display can be altered by the Display parameter in the Setup mode.
If the process variable attains a value lower than the input scale minimum, the upper display will show: If a break is detected in the sensor circuit, the upper display will show: 3.4 Front Panel Indicators OUT Indicates the status of the Limit Relay. When the indicator is on, the relay is de- energized, and when off, the relay is energized.
In order to reset the limit relay, the process value must not exceed the limit setpoint. Pressing the RESET key with the control in this state will reset the limit relay, and the OUT indicator will turn off. NOTE: The hysteresis limit value in the setup mode affects the value at which the control will reset.
SECTION 4: CONTROL MODE The Control mode allows viewing of the control status and process variables. Other modes can be accessed by pressing the SCROLL key until the appropriate mode is displayed, then pressing the DOWN key. CONTROL SETPOINT CONFIGURATION SET-UP CHANGE (Ctrl)

SECTION 5: SETPOINT CHANGE MODE To change the limit setpoint, the Setpoint Change Mode must be enabled (see Enable Mode). From the Control Mode, press the SCROLL key until SPC is displayed. Press the DOWN key to access Setpoint Change Mode. To change the high limit setpoint, press the DOWN key until SPHi* is displayed in the lower display with the upper display blank.
SECTION 6: CONFIGURATION All configurable parameters are provided in Table 6-1. This table illustrates the display sequence, parameter adjustment and factory setting for each step. Depression of the SCROLL key will cycle the display. To enter the Configuration mode, press and release the SCROLL key until ConF is displayed.
