Overview The V4 1/4 DIN panel mount controller is a general purpose industrial PID temperature controller. The V4 provides a reliable cost-effective solution for most temperature control applications. Thermocouple, RTD, and Current and Voltage sensors are supported. Dual outputs can be configured to support heating and cooling. The secondary output can also be configured as an alarm.
Keys and Displays Upper Display: Indicates the process value, actual temperature, operating parameter values or an open sensor. When powering up, the Process display will be Output 1 Indicator Light: Lit blank for five seconds. when Output 1 is energized. •...

Calibration Before attempting to calibrate, make sure you read through the procedures carefully and have the proper equipment called for in each procedure. Make sure the DIP switches are in the proper position for the input type. Entering the Calibration Menu In the Calibration Menu, various input signals must be supplied for the con- troller to go through its auto calibration.
