TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
N321R
OPERATING MANUAL V1.8x
The N321R is a controller for cooling applications, with defrost function (forced compressor
shut-down). It accepts NTC, Pt100 and Pt1000 temperature probes, depending on the
product code (the user must observe the measurement range of the selected sensor). The
N321R control output is capable of driving a compressor load of up to 1 HP directly.
The features of a particular model (input sensor type, sensor range, mains supply, etc) are
identified by the label placed on the thermometer body.
SPECIFICATIONS
SENSOR INPUT: The input sensor type can be chosen form the options below (specified
when placing the order):
• Thermistor NTC, Type 10 kΩ @ 25 °C; Range: –50 to 120 °C (-58 to 248 ºF);
Accuracy: 0.6 °C;
Sensor interchangeability: 0.75 °C. This error can be compensated by the offset
parameter in the controller.
• Pt100; Type: Range: –50 to 300 °C; α= 0,00385; 3-wire;
Accuracy: 0.7 °C; IEC-751;
• Pt1000; Type: Range: –200 to 530 °C; α= 0.00385; 3-wire;
Accuracy: 0.7 °C;
Note: Two 3-meter probe cable are bundled with the instrument. The cable can be extended
up to 200 m.

Serial interface not isolated from input circuitry.
Serial interface isolated from input circuitry, except in 24 V powered model.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Fig. 01 below shows the controller connections to sensor, mains and outputs.
* The serial communication interface is optional.
Pt100 with 3 conductors: Terminals 11, 12 and 13 must have the same wire resistance for
proper cable length compensation. For 2 wire Pt100, short circuit terminals 11 and 13.
INSTALATION
It is important to follow the recommendations below:
• Signal wires should be installed in grounded conduits and away from power or contactor
wires.
• The instrument should have its own power supply wires that should not be shared with
electrical motors, coils, contactors, etc.
• Installing RC filters (47 R and 100 nF, series combination) is strongly recommended at
contactor coils or any other inductor.
• Use protection devices like circuit breakers and fuses.
OPERATION
The controller requires the internal parameters to be configured according to the intended
use for the instrument. The parameters are organized in 4 groups or levels.

Upon power-up, the N323R display shows for 1 second its firmware version. This information
is useful when consulting the factory. Then, the temperature measured by the sensor is
