SAFETY INSTRUCTION :
This controller is meant for temperature control applications. It is important to read the manual prior to installing or commissioning of controller. All safety related instruction appearing in this manual must be followed to ensure safety of the operating personnel as well as the instrument.

GENERAL

• The controller must be configured correctly for intended operation. Incorrect configuration could result in damage to the equipment or the process under control or it may lead personnel injury.
• The controller is generally part of control panel and in such a case the terminals should not remain accessible to the user after installation.

MECHANICAL

• The Controller in its installed state must not come in close proximity to any corrosive/combustible gases, caustic vapours, oils, steam or any other process by- products.
• The Controller in its installed state should not be exposed to carbon dust, salt air, direct sunlight or radiant heat.
• Ambient temperature and relative humidity surrounding the controller must not exceed the maximum specified limit for proper operation of the controller.
• The controller in its installed state must be protected against excessive electrostatic or electromagnetic interferences. Ventilation holes provided on the chassis of the instrument are meant for thermal dissipation hence should not be obstructed in the panel.

ELECTRICAL

• The controller must be wired as per wiring diagram & it must comply with local electrical regulation.
• Care must be taken not to connect AC supplies to low voltage sensor input.
• Circuit breaker or mains s/w with fuse (275V/1A) must be installed between power supply and supply terminals to protect the controller from any possible damage due to high voltage surges of extended duration.
• Circuit breaker and appropriate fuses must be used for driving high voltage loads to protect the controller from any possible damage due to short circuit on loads.
• To minimize pickup of electrical noise, the wiring for low voltage DC and sensor input must be routed away from high current power cables. Where it is impractical to do this, use shielded ground at both ends.
• The controller should not be wired to a 3-Phase supply with unearthed star connection. Under fault condition such supply could rise above 264 VAC which will damage the controller.
• The Electrical noise generated by switching inductive loads might create momentary Fluctuation in display, alarm latch up, data loss or permanent damage to the instrument. To reduce this use snubber circuit across the load.
• It is essential to install a over Temp. Protection device to avoid any failure of heating system. Apart from spoiling the product, this could damage the process being controlled.

CAUTION: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, switch off the power before making/removing any connection or removing the controller from its enclosure.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The label on the controller identifies the serial number, wiring connections and batch number.

TIMER START MODE| | | User can define 4 different modes to start the soak timer as follows : –
In this mode, Timer will start after pressing START key for 3 sec., irrespective of PV.| MOD 2
In this Mode, after power ON Timer starts when PV >= SV. To continue with next cycle, user has to either switch Power on & off OR press START key for 3 sec when STRT message is displayed on the lower display.
In this Mode, Timer will start only after pressing START key for 3 sec & PV>=SV for any of the following conditions.
(1)At every Power ON.
(2)Completion of current soak time cycle.
(3)Power failure during soak time is in progress.
In this Mode, Timer will start only after pressing START key for 3 sec & PV>=SV for any of the following conditions.
(1)At every Power ON.
(2)Completion of current soak time cycle.
After executing start command, if cycle doesn’t complete due to power failure, cycle will continue whenever PV >= SV after restore of power. No need to press START key.
AUTO TUNING MODE| | | This function will be executed only if selected control action is PID & Auto tune is Enable.
The Auto-tuning function can be initiated by setting this parameter to YES. The decimal of LSB flashes till auto tuning function is in  progress. During Auto-tuning, The controller learns the process  characteristics by itself & calculates required P, I & D values.
User can cancel or abort this feature by setting this parameter to NO.| | | NO

USER GUIDE : –
ON-OFF ACTION : In this mode, Output (Relay/SSR) remains ON till actual temperature reaches to the set point value. On reaching to SP, Output turns OFF & remains  OFF till actual temperature drops down (in Heat Logic) or raises (in Cool Logic) equal to hysterisis set by user. (As shown in Fig. 3.1 & 3.2)

AUTO TUNING MODE : In this mode, Controller learns the process characteristics by itself and calculates the required P,I & D values. It can be performed at any time  after power ON but, it is best to start it when the process is at Ambient temperature in order to minimize overshoot & undershoot. Auto tuning is applied in case of :

1. Initial set up for a new process.
2. Substantial change in SP from previous auto tuning value.
3. Control accuracy is not satisfactory.

If the control performance by using auto-tuning is still unsatisfactory, User can apply further adjustments of P,I & D values as shown in Table:3 below.
