PT244-T / PT244-K / PT244-T-AA
Operating Manual
Introduction
A proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller or three
term controller) is a control loop feedback mechanism widely used in
industrial control systems and a variety of other applications requiring
continuously modulated control. A PID controller continuously
calculates an error value as the difference between a desired
setpoint (SV) and a measured process variable (PV) and applies a
correction based on proportional, integral, and derivative terms
(denoted P, I, and D respectively) which give the controller its name.
PT244-T is a two set point PID controller. It is available in touch &
keypad version. Customized iconic display interprets status easily.
Caution for your safety
WIRING: The probe and its corresponding wires should never be
installed in a conduit next to control or power supply lines. The
electrical wiring should be done as shown in the diagram. The
power supply circuit should be connected to a protection switch.
The terminals admit wires of upto 2.5sq mm.
WARNING: Improper wiring may cause irreparable damage and
personal injury. Kindly ensure that wiring is done by qualified
personnel only.
Maintenance: Cleaning: Clean the surface of the controller with a
soft moist cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents, petrol, alcohol or
solvents.

Working
1. Auto tuning
The Auto-tuning function automatically computes and sets the
proportional band (P), Integral time (I), Derivative time (D) as
per process characteristics.
While Auto-tune is in progress "AUTO" led will turn ON.
After Auto-tuning is complete the "AUTO" led will turn OFF.

If auto -tuning is not complete after 3-4 cycles, it is suspected to
3
fail. In this case, check the wiring & parameters such as the
control action, input type etc.
2
SV
Carry out the auto-tuning again, if there is a change in setpoint
or process parameters.
Note : In Auto Tuning running time, user can not change
the parameter value.
2. ON/OFF control action (For reverse mode)
The relay is 'ON' up to the set temperature and cuts"OFF"
above the set temperature . As the temperature of the system
drops ,the relay is switched 'ON' at a temperature lower than
the set point .
HYSTERESIS:
The difference between the temperature at which relay
switches 'OFF' is the hysteresis or dead band.
3. Dwell Timer :
A dwell timer is used to control a process at a fixed temperature
for a defined period. Once the process reaches the setpoint,
dwell timer starts to count until time out . After the time
completes, control output goes OFF and auxiliary output
energises as an alarm.
Note:
1) Countdown timer is displayed on the lower display. Once
total time elapsed lower display will show "
(Not applicable for PT244-K)
2) DWL icon LED blinking indicates that dwell timer is in
progress. It switches to continuous 'ON' when dwell
timer is over.
3) If Dwell time programmed as OFF, it will disable the dwell
timer.
4) When soak in progress & dwell time is modified, new
dwell time is applicable .
5) The dwell period can be reduced or increased when the
timer is running. if it is reduced to meet the time elapsed.
the timer will change to the end state.
6) Once the timer output was energized it can be reset with
the

Parameter
In time it may be possible that the display may be offset by a
degree or so.
To compensate for this error, user may need to add or minus
the degrees required to achieve the correct temperature.
Example : The temperature on the display is 28 C, whereas
the actual temperature is 30 C. User will have to set the "
parameter to 2 C, which means that once out of the
programming mode, the temperature on display will be 30 C
(28 C+ 2 C).
