(+) side input terminal number of 0 to 1V DC: 10

• When using a relay contact output type, externally use a relay according to the capacity of the load to protect the built-in relay contact.

• When wiring, keep input wires (thermocouple, RTD, etc.) away from AC sources or load wires to avoid external interference.

3. Operation and maintenance precautions

Caution

• It is recommended that auto-tuning (AT) be performed on the trial run.

• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electric shock or problems in operation.

• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF when retightening the terminal or cleaning.

Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury or death due to Electric Shock.

• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the instrument.

(Alcohol based substances may tarnish or deface the unit.)

• As the display section is vulnerable, do not strike or scratch it with a hard object or press hard on it.

Sensor correction

• Sets the correction value for the sensor.

This corrects the input value from the sensor. When a sensor cannot be set at the exact location where control is desired, the sensor measured temperature may deviate from the temperature in the controlled location. When controlling with plural controllers, sometimes the measured temperatures (input value) do not concur due to differences in sensor accuracy or dispersion of load capacities. In such a case, the control can be set at the desired temperature by adjusting the input value of sensors.

While AT is performing, the AT indicator flashes, and it goes off if AT is cancelled.

9. Auto-reset

Auto-reset is performed to correct the offset at the point at which PV indication is stabilized within the proportional band during the PD control. Since the corrected value is internally memorized, it is not necessary to perform the auto-reset again as long as the process is the same. However, when OUT1 proportional band is set to 0 or 0.0, the corrected value is cleared.

Auto-reset is performed.

10. AT (Auto-tuning)

In order to set each value of P, I, D and ARW automatically, the AT process should be made to fluctuate to obtain an optimal value. One of 3 types of fluctuation below is automatically selected.

For DC voltage, current input, the AT process will fluctuate around the SV for conditions of [1], [2] and [3] below.

Notice

• Perform the AT during the trial run.

• During the AT, none of the setting items can be set.

• If power failure occurs during the AT, the tuning stops.

• Sometimes the AT process will not fluctuate if AT is performed at or near room temperature.

Therefore AT might not finish normally.

[1] In the case of a large difference between the SV and processing temperature as the temperature is rising

When AT bias is set to 20 , the AT process will fluctuate at the temperature 20 lower than the SV.

Attached functions:

[Power failure countermeasure]:

The setting data is backed up in the non-volatile IC memory.

[Self-diagnosis]:

The CPU is monitored by a watchdog timer, and if the CPU’s status becomes abnormal, the controller is switched to warm-up status with all outputs OFF.

[Automatic cold junction temperature compensation] (Only thermocouple input type)

This detects the temperature at the connecting terminal between the thermocouple and the instrument, and always maintains it at the same status as if the reference junction location temperature was at 0 (32 ).

[Warm-up indication]

After the power supply to the instrument is turned on, the PV display indicates the sensor input type, and SV display indicates input range high limit value (for thermocouple, RTD) or Scaling high limit value (for DC input) for approximately 3 seconds.

[Indication range and Control range]

Thermocouple input: [Input range low limit value – 50 (100 )] to [Input range high limit value + 50 (100 )]

RTD input: [Input range low limit value -Input span x 1%] to [Input range high limit value + 50 (100 )]

DC current, voltage input:

[Scaling low limit value -Scaling span x 1%] to [Scaling high limit value +Scaling span x 10%]

[Burnout]

When the thermocouple or RTD input is burnt out, OUT1 and OUT2 are turned OFF (for DC current output type, OUT1 low limit value) and the PV display flashes “ ”.

However, for the manual control, the preset MV (manipulated variable) is outputted.

When the DC current or voltage input is disconnected, PV display flashes “ ” for 4 to 20mA DC and 1 to 5V DC inputs, and “ ” for 0 to 1V DC input. For 0 to 20mA DC, 0 to 5V DC and 0 to 10V DC inputs, the PV display indicates the value corresponding with 0mA or 0V input.

If the input terminals of the instrument are shorted, and if a value around room temperature is indicated, the instrument is likely to be operating normally, however, the sensor may be burnt out.

[RTD]

If approx. 100 of resistance is connected to the input terminals between A-B of the instrument and between B-B is shorted, and if a value around 0 (32 ) is indicated, the instrument is likely to be operating normally, however, the sensor may be burnt out.

[DC voltage (0 to 1V DC)]

If the input terminals of the instrument are shorted, and if a scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.

• Check whether the input terminals of thermocouple, RTD or DC voltage

(0 to 1V DC) are securely mounted to the instrument input terminal.

Connect the sensor terminals to the instrument input terminals securely.

• Check whether input signal wire for DC voltage (1 to 5V DC) or

DC current (4 to 20mA DC) is disconnected.

How to check whether the input signal wire is disconnected

[DC voltage (1 to 5V DC)]

If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 1V DC and if a scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.

[DC current (4 to 20mA DC)]

If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 4mA DC and if a scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.

• Check whether input signal wire for DC voltage (1 to 5V DC) or DC current

(4 to 20mA DC) is securely connected to the instrument input terminals.

• Check if polarity of thermocouple or compensating lead wire is correct.

• Check whether codes (A, B, B) of RTD agree with the instrument terminals.

• Check whether the input signal wire for DC voltage (0 to 5V DC,

0 to 10V DC) and DC current (0 to 20mA DC) is disconnected.

How to check whether the input signal wire is disconnected

[DC voltage (0 to 5V DC, 0 to 10V DC)]

If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 0V DC and if a Scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.

[DC current (0 to 20mA DC)]

If the input to the input terminals of the instrument is 0mA DC and if a Scaling low limit value is indicated, the instrument is likely to be operating normally, however, the signal wire may be disconnected.

• Check whether the input terminals for DC voltage (0 to 5V DC,

0 to 10V DC) or DC current (0 to 20mA DC) are securely connected to the instrument input terminals.

13.2 Key operation

Problem

• Unable to set the SV, P, I, D, proportional cycle or alarm value.

• The values do not change by

, keys.

The setting indication does not change in the input range even if the , keys are pressed, and new values are unable to be set.

Presumed cause and solution

• Set value lock (Lock 1 or Lock 2) is selected.

Release the lock during the “Set value lock selection”.

• AT or auto-reset is performing.

In the case of AT, cancel AT.

It takes approximately 4 minutes until auto-reset is finished.

• Scaling high or low limit value in the Setup mode may be set at the point where the value does not change.

Set it to a suitable value while in the Setup mode.

Problem

Temperature does not rise.

The control output remains in an

ON status.

The control output remains in an

OFF status.

Presumed cause and solution

• Sensor is out of order. Replace the sensor.

• Check whether the Sensor or control output terminals are securely mounted to the instrument input terminals.

Ensure that the sensor or control output terminals are mounted to the instrument input terminals securely.

• Check whether the wiring of sensor or control output terminals is correct.

• OUT1 or OUT2 low limit value is set to 100% or higher in Setup mode.

Set it to a suitable value.

• OUT1 or OUT2 high limit value is set to 0% or less in Setup mode.
