3. Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and accurate operation of the temperature controller. Ensure the power is disconnected before proceeding with any installation steps.

3.1 Mounting the Controller

The controller is designed for panel mounting. Use the provided installation holders to secure the unit into a panel cutout of appropriate dimensions (48 x 96mm for this model).

1. Create a panel cutout according to the specified dimensions.
2. Insert the controller into the cutout from the front.
3. Slide the installation holders onto the sides of the controller from the rear, ensuring they firmly grip the panel.
4. Tighten the screws on the holders to secure the controller in place.

3.2 Wiring Connections

Refer to the wiring diagram on the side label of the controller and the figures below for correct connections. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent electrical hazards and ensure proper operation.

• Power Supply (100-240V AC, 50/60Hz): Connect to terminals 8 and 9.
• Alarm Output (ALM, 250VAC 3A): Connect to terminals 1 and 2.
• SSR Output (12VDC for SSR): Connect to terminals 10 (+) and 11 (-).
• Relay Output (OUT, 250VAC 3A): Connect to terminals 13 and 14.
• Thermocouple Input (K, J, E, N): Connect to terminals 4 (+), 5 (-), 6 (B), 7 (C). Ensure correct polarity for thermocouples.

4. Operating Instructions

This section details how to operate your PID Temperature Controller, including basic settings and mode selection.

4.1 Display Overview

Figure 4.1: Close-up of the digital display. The upper display shows the Process Value (PV), which is the current measured temperature. The lower display shows the Set Value (SV), which is the target temperature. Indicators for OUT, AT, and AL1 are visible below the SV display.

• PV (Process Value): Displays the current measured temperature.
• SV (Set Value): Displays the target temperature.
• OUT: Indicates when the output (heating/cooling) is active.
• ALM (AL1): Indicates an alarm condition.
• AT: Indicates when the self-tuning function is active.

4.2 Setting the Target Temperature (SV)

1. Press the MODE button to enter the setting mode. The SV display will start flashing.
2. Use the Up () and Down () arrow buttons to adjust the Set Value.
3. Press the MODE button again to confirm the setting and exit the setting mode. The display will return to normal operation.

Note: If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds, the controller will automatically return to the main display mode, saving any changes made.

4.3 Selecting Temperature Unit (℃/℉)

The controller supports both Celsius (℃) and Fahrenheit (℉) display units. The method to switch between units is typically found within the advanced parameter settings. Consult the full technical manual for detailed steps on accessing and changing this parameter.

4.4 PID Self-Tuning Function (AT)

The self-tuning function automatically calculates optimal PID parameters for your specific application, ensuring stable and accurate temperature control. To initiate self-tuning, typically you would press and hold a specific button (often the 'AT' button or a combination) until the 'AT' indicator lights up. The controller will then cycle through a series of heating and cooling operations to determine the best parameters. Once complete, the 'AT' indicator will turn off.

4.5 Control Modes (Heating/Cooling)

The controller can operate in either heating (reverse action) or cooling (positive action) mode. This setting is usually configured within the advanced parameter menu. Ensure the correct mode is selected based on your application requirements.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your temperature controller.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation slots on the sides of the controller are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
• Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• Environment: Operate the controller within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to avoid damage.
