Product Description 1.1
1.1.1 GENERAL
This instrument is a microprocessor based single loop controller capable of
measuring, displaying and controlling temperature, pressure, flow, and level
from a variety of inputs. Most outputs are easily tuned using the instrument
Pre-Tune and Auto-Tune functions.
Control functions, alarm settings and other parameters are easily entered
through the front keypad. E

Technology (100 year life) protects against
data loss during AC power outages.
The input is user configurable to directly connect to either thermocouple,
RTD, mVDC, VDC or mADC inputs. The instrument can operate from a
90-264 VAC, 50/60 HZ power supply, or optional 24V AC/DC power supply.
1.1.2 DISPLAYS
Each instrument is provided with dual displays and status indicators as
shown in Figure 1-1. The upper display displays the value of the process
variable. The lower display displays the setpoint value. Status indication is
as shown, see Figure 1-1, page 6.
1.1.3 CONTROL
The instrument can be programmed for on-off, time proportioning, or cur-
rent proportioning control implementations depending on the model num-
ber. A second control output is an available option. Proportional control
implementations are provided with fully programmable PID parameters.
1.1.4 ALARMS
Alarm indication is standard on all instruments. Up to two alarm outputs
are possible. Alarm type may be set as Process Direct or Reverse (high or
low), Deviation Direct or Reverse (above or below setpoint), Deviation
Band Type (closed or open within band), or Loop Reverse or Direct. Alarm
status is indicated by LED.

any desired range and re-transmitted.

Installation and Wiring 2.1
Electrical code requirements and safety standards should be observed and
installation performed by qualified personnel.
The electronic components of the instrument may be removed from the
housing during installation. To remove the components, grip the side
edges of the front panel and pull the instrument forward. During re-installa-
tion, the vertically mounted circuit boards should be properly aligned in the
housing.
Ensure that the instrument is correctly orientated. A stop will operate if an
attempt is made to insert the instrument incorrectly.
Recommended panel opening sizes are illustrated in Figure 2-1. After the
opening is properly cut, insert the instrument into the panel opening. En-
sure that the panel gasket is not distorted and that the instrument is posi-
tioned squarely against the panel. Slide the mounting clamp into place on
the instrument (see Figure 2-3, page 8) and push it forward until it is firmly
in contact with the rear face of the mounting panel.
Note: The mounting clamp tongues may engage either on the
sides or the top/bottom of the instrument housing. Therefore, when
installing several instruments side-by-side in one cut out, use the
ratchets on the top/bottom faces.

Preparation for Wiring 2.2
2.2.1 WIRING GUIDELINES
Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The
following are guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of
noise upon any instrumentation.
2.2.1.1 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the
industrial environment:
• Ignition Transformers
• Arc Welders
• Mechanical contact relay(s)
• Solenoids
Before using any instrument near the device listed, the instructions below
should be followed:
1. If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the
listed devices, separate them by the largest distance possible. For
maximum electrical noise reduction, the noise generating devices
should be mounted in a separate enclosure.
2. If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with
solid state relays. If a mechanical relay being powered by an
instrument output device cannot be replaced, a solid state relay can
be used to isolate the instrument.
3. A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should
be considered. The transformer can isolate the instrument from noise
found on the AC power input.
4. If the instrument is being installed on existing equipment, the wiring in
the area should be checked to insure that good wiring practices have
been followed.

2.2.1.2 AC POWER WIRING
Neutral (For 115 VAC)
It is good practice to assure that the AC neutral is at or near ground poten-
tial. To verify this, a voltmeter check between neutral and ground should be
done. On the AC range, the reading should not be more than 50 millivolts.
If it is greater than this amount, the secondary of this AC transformer sup-
plying the instrument should be checked by an electrician. A proper neutral
will help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.
2.2.1.3 WIRE ISOLATION
Four voltage levels of input and output wiring may be used with the unit:
• Analog input or output (i.e. thermocouple, RTD, VDC, mVDC, or mADC)
• SPDT Relays
• SSR driver outputs
• AC power
The only wires that should run together are those of the same category. If
they need to be run parallel with any of the other lines, maintain a minimum
6 inch space between the wires. If wires must cross each other, do so at
90 degrees. This will minimize the contact with each other and reduces
“cross talk”. “Cross Talk” is due to the EMF (Electro Magnetic Flux) emitted
by a wire as current passes through it. This EMF can be picked up by
other wires running in the same bundle or conduit.
In applications where a High Voltage Transformer is used (i.e. ignition sys-
tems) the secondary of the transformer should be isolated from all other
cables.
This instrument has been designed to operate in noisy environments, how-
ever, in some cases even with proper wiring it may be necessary to sup-
press the noise at its source.
2.2.1.4 USE OF SHIELDED CABLE
Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires.
All analog signals should be run with shielded cable. Connection lead
length should be kept as short as possible, keeping the wires protected by
the shielding. The shield should be grounded at one end only. The pre-
ferred grounding location is the sensor, transmitter or transducer.
