TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
N321R
OPERATING MANUAL V1.9x A
N321R is an electronic controller for refrigeration and has features to facilitate the defrost
process. It has input for temperature sensors type Pt100 or NTC thermistor and can correct
indication errors (Offset). Each type of sensor has a specific temperature measurement
range. The controller has a relay-type control output with Common, NO and NC contacts.
The characteristics of each controller are identi f ied on the body of the device and accordi n g
to the purchase order.
SPECIFICATIONS
SENSOR INPUT: The sensor is chosen at the time of purchase and displayed on the top
side of the thermometer case. The options are:
Thermistor NTC: 10 kΩ @ 25 °C; Range: -50 to 120 °C (-58 to 248 °F); Accuracy: 0.6
•
°C (1.1 °F).
Maximum error in the interchangeabil i ty of original NTC sensors: 0.75 °C (1.35 °F). This
error can be eliminated through the Offset parameter of the equipment.
Note: For the NTC thermistor option, the sensor is included in the equipment. Its
operating range is limited to -30 to +105 °C (-222 to +221 °F). It has a 3 m long, 2 x
0.5 mm² cable, which can be extended up to 200 meters.
Pt100: Range: -50 to 300 °C (-58 to 572 °F); α= 0,00385; 3 wires; Accuracy: 0.7 °C (1.3
•
°F); according to IEC-751 standards.
Measurement Resolution:............................................................ 0.1° from -19.9 to 199.9°
............................................................................1 °C elsewhere
Note: The equipment keeps its precision all over the range, despi t e the lack of display
resolution in a part of the range does not allow its vi s uali z ation.
OUTPUT1: .......................... Relay SPDT; 1 HP 250 Vac / 1/3 HP 125 Vac (16 A Resistive)

controller output and a connection example.
* The serial communication interface is optional.
Pt100 with 3-wire connection. For 2-wire connection, terminals 11 and 13 must be
interconnected. For proper cable resistance compensation, the conductors must al l
have the same electrical resistances (same cross section).
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Input signal conductors must run through the plant separately from the supply and

output conductors. If possible, in grounded conduits.
All electronic instruments must be powered by a clean mains supply, proper for

OPERATION
Before use, you must configure the control l er. To configure it, you must set values for
the parameters that determine how the equipment operates. These configuration
parameters are organized in groups or levels, called parameter levels:
LEVEL
0
1
2
3
When you turn on the controller, the display shows the version of the equipment for 1
second. This information is important for eventual consultations with the manufacturer.
Then, the controller starts presenting the temperature value measured by the sensor.
This is level 0 or the Temperature Measurement level.
To access level 1, press
key to go back to level 0.
Suitable wiring: Up to 4.0 mm².
To access level 2, press

The programming is saved by the controller when it switches from
one parameter to another, and only then is it considered val i d .
Even in the event of a power outage, the programming is saved
in permanent memory.
If the keys are not used for longer than 20 seconds, the control l e r
returns to the measuring level, finishing and saving the
programming done so far.
Level 1 – Setpoint Adjustment
This level displays the Setpoint (SP) parameter only. It sets the desired temperature
