Page 10: Installing Series 48 Heaters
Installing Series 48 Heaters 1. Installation Overview 1.1. Inspect pipe system and heaters. 1.2. Install heaters 1.3. Install heater controllers 1.4. Daisy chain heater controllers using jumper cables provided. 1.5. Install optional control upgrade modules (if applicable). 1.6. Install RS485 communication cables (if applicable). 1.7. - Page 11 2. Detailed Installation Instructions 2.1. Inspect system and heaters for damage. Make sure that there are no burrs or other protrusions on components to be heated that could cut the heater and expose a live heater element wire. 2.2. Install the heaters on the system. Make sure to match the heater to the part being heated.
- Page 12 Heaters for bellows and flexible hose are designed for a loose fit to allow for modest bellows and hose movement. These heaters must be installed with the heater’s lead exit in the up position with respect to gravity. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to overheating and possible heater damage.
- Page 13 2.4. Daisy chain heater controllers using jumper cables provided. Starting at the last heater controller (with respect to power), insert the black eight-position connector of the terminating cable into the controller’s black eight-position receptacle as shown below. It will click into place. Terminating cable Installing cables into controllers Next, connect the white six-position connector of the terminating cable to the...
- Page 14 Now insert the tee cable’s black connector into the upstream heater controller’s black receptacle. Repeat this process for all heaters until the connection of the first heater controller is completed. Completed basic installation Please read sections 2.5 & 2.6 (control upgrade options), if they apply. If control upgrade modules are not to be used, proceed to section 2.7.
- Page 15 It may be necessary to use an RS232- RS485 converter for computer interface. This is available from MKS/HPS. For a general functional description of the software interface, see “Series 48...
- Page 16 2.7. Apply power to the heaters. At this point, the heater assembly is completed and the system is ready to be connected to the electrical supply. Using the main power cable specifically designed for use with 48-Series heaters, mate the cable’s six-position electrical connector with its counterpart on the jumper cable inserted in the first controller.

Page 17: Controller Operations And Visual Signals (Base Model)
Controller Operations and Visual Signals Base Model, #4800-1150 Base Controller: 4800-1150 1. Control Structure: The Series-48 heater control unit contains two microprocessors. One is dedicated to controlling and operation of the heater within specified (modifiable – see “Control Upgrades” sections) parameters, while the other is dedicated to safety. -

heaters are within acceptable range. (This signal circuit is independent RS485 communications.) A visual local signal is also produced on each heater controller’s front panel. When a controller determines its heater’s temperature to be within acceptable range, the amber “In Range” LED will illuminate. If it is outside of acceptable range, the “In Range”... -

Display/Adjust Enabled Control Upgrades Local User Interface - #4800-0001 & #4800-0003 Display/Adjust Upgrade: 4800-0001 Display/Adjust/Communications Upgrade: 4800-0003 1. Installation of upgrade modules: A control module upgrade is a “plug-and-play” device. Installation and/or removal of upgrade modules can be performed at any time without interrupting power or heater/controller function. - Page 20 displayed. If the middle button is not pressed, the upgrade will return to normal operation using the new value after 5 seconds. 4. Adjusting other operating parameters: All other operating parameters can be accessed by pressing and holding both the up and down arrow buttons for three seconds.

Communications Enabled Control Upgrades Remote User Interface - #4800-0002 & #4800-0003 Communications Upgrade: 4800-0002 Display/Adjust/Communications Upgrade: 4800-0003 1. Installation of upgrade modules: As described in the previous section, a control upgrade module is a “plug-and-play” device, and can be installed or removed at any time. - Page 23 3. Assigning controller Modbus addresses: There are three different ways to assign addresses to heater controllers, depending upon which upgrade module is in use. The default address is 1, so it is therefore necessary to assign other addresses if more than one controller is to be monitored. Important notes: Any address assigned is stored in the upgrade module, and not the base controller.

Page 24: Using Lta/Hta Function
Using the LTA/HTA Function 1. Description: Standard within each Series-48 base heater controller is a mechanical relay dedicated to LTA/HTA function (Low Temperature Alert / High Temperature Alert). The Series-48 base controllers and cables create a low voltage continuity circuit to be used as a remote indication that one or more heaters within a group is not operating within the acceptable temperature range programmed into their respective controllers. - Page 25 4. Common uses: There is any number of uses for the LTA/HTA circuit. It can be used solely for a visual indication heater temperature status using an LTA monitor. Another common use is as a tool interlock, whereas a process cannot begin until all heaters are within their designated operating ranges.

Page 26: Series 48 Heater Software
Series 48 Heater Software 1. Software Features: Series 48 Heater Software is a remote monitoring, diagnostic, and control interface. It allows easy modification of any and all controlling parameters including, but not limited to: operating temperature, low temperature alert, high temperature alert, safety limit temperature, control type (on-off/PID), PID parameters, etc., for up to 256 individual heater controllers. - Page 27 useful. It is, however, time consuming. No matter which method is used, it is possible to locate any heater using the Ping function. Simply “ping” a heater to be located, and the LED’s of that heater’s controller will begin to flash for easy visual identification.
