INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

  1. Prepare the cut-out with proper dimension as shown in figure.
  2. Remove clamp from Controller.
  3. Push the Timer through panel cut-out and secure the Controller in its place by tightening the side clamp.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION MECHANICAL

  • Ambient temperature and relative humidity surrounding the Controller must not exceed the maximum specified limits.

  • The Controller in its installed state must be protected against excessive electrostatic or electromagnetic interferences.
    ELECTRICAL

  • The Controller must be wired as per wiring diagram & it must comply with local electrical regulation.

  • The Electrical noise generated by switching Inductive loads might create momentary Fluctuation in display, latch up, data loss or permanent damage to the instrument. To reduce this use snubber circuit across the load.

Alarm Logic| | | If this parameter is set as ‘Direct’, Relay/SSR energizes under Alarm condition & remains De-energized otherwise. ‘Direct setting is generally used for Audio/Visual Alarm Output.| Direct
If this parameter is set as ‘Reverse’, Relay/SSR De-energizes under Alarm condition & remains energized otherwise. ‘Reverse’ setting is generally used for tripping the process under Alarm condition.
Alarm Inhibit| | | This parameter can be used to inhibit (suppress) the Alarm activation upon power-up conditions by setting the parameter value to YES’. From Power-up, the Alarm system remains disabled until PV is found with in the limits.| No
If Alarm activation is desired even under Power-up condition, Set this parameter value to
Alarm Ack.| | | Once Alarm is activated, user has following three options to de-activate it.
When PV falls within the programmed limits, Alarm will be de-activated automatically.| Auto
Once Alarm is activated, it remains activated until manually acknowledged by UP key.
Once Alarm is activated, it can be de-activated either by pressing UP key or when PV falls within the alarm limits.
Alarm Hysteresis| | | This parameter will be prompted only if selected control action is ON-OFF. It sets the dead band between ON & OFF switching of the Output. Larger value of hysteresis minimize the number of ON-OFF operation of load.T his increases life of actuators like contactors but also produces large errors (between PV & SV).| 2°C
