JC-43D2 3-Element Drum Level Controller
Installation & Operation Instructions
The JC-43D2 3-Element Drum Level Controller maintains a boilers drum
level at setpoint by modulating a 4-20 mA control output with a user
selectable 1-element, 2-element, or 3-element PID loop.
The JC-43D2 can be configured for an alternate offline setpoint mode to
account for sink and swell in the boiler drum as the boiler transitions
between online and offline. A user-configured warmup and cooldown
delay keeps the PID from modulating until the boiler is making steam,
and also allows the control valve to continue modulation for a time period
after the boiler is shutdown.
The JC-43D2 can be wired to interface with the burner control to
shutdown the burner in the case of a low drum level or high steam
pressure condition in addition to external level and pressure switches.

  • Page 4: Low Drum Level Alarm And Shutdown Sequence

    If a differential pressure transmitter is not regularly maintained, the sensing lines can become blocked which could cause the transmitter to read out of range. If the Level Sensor Failure alarm option is enabled, the JC-43D2 will detect when this happens, and a Level Sensor Failure alarm will occur.

    Pressure Compensation feature for the Drum Level and Steam Flow inputs. Steam Flow Feedforward When the JC-43D2 is set to 3-Element PID mode, the Feedforward Type parameter must be set to “Linear Gain” and the Steam Flow Feedforward Curve is not used.

  • Page 10 Disabled Enabled Disabled Offline Setpoint Option Enabling this parameter allows the JC-43D2 to use a secondary drum level setpoint when the burner is not running. When the burner shuts off, the PID will maintain the drum level at this secondary (typically lower) setpoint.

    If this option is enabled, the JC-43D2 will detect level sensor failures when the burner is running. Sensor Failure Delay The amount of time that the JC-43D2 does not register a change from the drum level input before the Level Sensor Failure alarm is activated. Control Type Parameter Default Max.

  • Page 14 Cooldown Delay Seconds If the Burner Running Input option Is enabled and the Offline Setpoint option is disabled, the JC-43D2 will use this parameter to determine when to allow the PID to control the drum level. When the Burner Running input goes from ON to OFF, the controller will wait for this number of seconds before disabling the PID and setting the control output to 0%.
