Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure proper panel cutout dimensions.

  1. Panel cutout: 45.5mm x 92mm (1/4 DIN standard)
  2. Mounting: Insert controller into panel cutout and secure with mounting brackets
  3. Wiring: Connect power, sensor input, and output according to wiring diagram
  4. Grounding: Ensure proper earth ground connection

WARNING! Disconnect power before wiring. Ensure proper insulation and grounding.

First-Time Setup

Power on controller; configure basic parameters.

  1. Input type selection: Set appropriate sensor type (K, J, T thermocouple or RTD)
  2. Setpoint configuration: Program desired temperature setpoint
  3. Control parameters: Use auto-tuning or manual PID setting
  4. Alarm settings: Configure alarm types and setpoints
  5. Output configuration: Set output type (relay, SSR, etc.)

CAUTION! Verify sensor type before operation to prevent damage.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Front panel controls: PV/SV display, SET key, UP/DOWN keys, MODE key.

Button Functions: SET (parameter access), UP/DOWN (value adjustment), MODE (mode selection).

Parameter Settings: Input type (IN-T), control method (PID), setpoint (SV), alarm values (AL1, AL2), output type (OUT-T), communication settings (Addr, baud rate).

Wiring Connections

Terminal connections: Power (L, N), sensor input (+,-), output (OUT, COM), alarm (AL1, AL2), communication (S+, S-).

  1. Power: Connect AC power to L and N terminals
  2. Sensor: Connect thermocouple or RTD to input terminals
  3. Output: Connect load to output terminals according to output type
  4. Alarms: Connect alarm devices to AL1 and AL2 terminals
  5. Communication: Connect RS-485 to S+ and S- terminals

Tip: Use shielded cables for sensor connections and proper wire gauges for power.

Operation Modes

Supports manual and automatic control modes.

  1. Normal operation: Automatic PID control with setpoint
  2. Manual mode: Manual output control for testing
  3. Auto-tuning: Automatic PID parameter calculation
  4. Program mode: Multi-segment temperature programming
  5. Communication mode: Remote control via RS-485

WARNING! Do not change parameters during stable operation.

Programming Parameters

Access parameters by pressing SET key for 3 seconds.
