1. SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY SUMMARY
This manual is meant for the personnel involved in wiring, installation, operation, and
routine maintenance of the equipment. All safety related codifications; symbols and
instructions that appear in this operating manual or on the equipment must be strictly
followed to ensure the safety of the operating personnel as well as the instrument.
If the equipment is not handled in a manner specified by the manufacturer it might
impair the protection provided by the equipment.

! CAUTION: Read complete instructions prior to installation and operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
! CAUTION:
1.This equipment, being built-in-type,normally becomes a part of the main control
panel and in such case the terminals do not remain accessible to the end user
after installation and internal wiring.
2.Conductors must not come in contact with the internal circuitry of the equipment
or else it may lead to a safety hazard that may in turn endanger life or cause
electrical shock to the operator.
3.Circuit breaker or mains switch must be installed between power source and
supply terminals to facilitate power 'ON' or 'OFF' function. However this switch or
breaker must be installed in a convenient position normally accessible to an
operator.
! CAUTION:
1.The equipment shall not be installed in environmental conditions other than
those specified in this manual.
2.Fuse Protection - The equipment does not contain built-in fuse. Installation of
external fuse for electrical circuitry is highly recommended. Recommended rating
of such fuse shall be 275VAC/1Amp.
3.Since this is a built-in type equipment (finds place in main control panel), its
output terminals get connected to host equipment. Such equipment shall also
comply with basic EMI/EMC and safety requirements like BS EN 61326-1 and
BS EN 61010 respectively.
4.Thermal dissipation of equipment is met through ventilation holes provided on
chassis of equipment. Such ventilation holes shall not be obstructed else it can
lead to a safety hazard.
5.The output terminals shall be strictly loaded to the manufacturer specified
values/range.

MAINTENANCE
1.The equipment should be cleaned regularly to avoid blockage of ventilating parts.
2.Use soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use isopropyl alcohol or any other organic
cleaning agent.

Installation
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
1.To prevent the risk of electric shock power supply to the equipment must be
kept OFF while doing the wiring arrangement.
2.Terminals and electrically charged parts must not be touched when the power
is ON.
3.Wiring shall be done strictly according to the terminal layout with shortest
connections. Confirm that all connections are correct.
4.Use lugged terminals to meet M3.5 screws.
5.To eliminate electromagnetic interference use of short wire with adequate
ratings and twists of the same in equal size shall be made.
6.Cable used for connection to power source, must have a cross section of 1 or
greater. These wires shall have insulation capacity made of at least 1.5KV.

ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS DURING USE

Electrical noise generated by switching of inductive loads can create momentary
disruption, erratic display, latch up, data loss or permanent damage to the instrument.
To reduce noise:
A) Use of MOV across supply of temperature controller & snubber circuits
across loads are recommended. Part numbers are as follows:
1. Snubber: APRC-01.
B) Use separate shielded wires for inputs.
C) The unit should preferably be shielded from the contactor.

Auto tuning is a function whereby the controller learns the process characteristics by itself
and automatically sets the required P,I and D values. The new P,I,D parameters will be
stored in non-volatile memory automatically. TUNE ON is indicated by ‘T’ LED blinking.
(For detailed explanations of PID parameters refer USER GUIDE).
! OUTPUT POWER LIMITS:
These parameters are used to limit the minimum and maximum controller output power.
The output power lower limit will ensure that a minimum percentage of output (as per
requirement) is available in case any process disturbances or setpoint changes occur.
The output power high limit ensures that in case any process disturbance or set point
changes occur, the maximum value of output is limited to a value as per requirement.
! TIMER:
TIMER is main output restart time. In this main output once turned OFF will turn ON only
after set time even if the temperature has increased and is more than the set temperature.
This is needed to prevent the compressor from restarting in a short time (less than the set
time).
! CYCLE TIME:
There are 3 selectable modes for programming cycle time:
USEr: User can program the cycle time. The mode will be altered to AutO when put to
autotune.
Usr.F: User can fix the cycle time. This has the highest priority.
AutO: This is recommended. The cycle time value is calculated automatically during
autotune.
! ANTIRESET WINDUP:
The anti-reset windup (ARW) inhibits the integral action until the PV is within the
proportional band thus reducing overshoot on start-up. If the selection is -
1. AutO: The value will be calculated automatically during autotune (Recommended).
2. ManL: The value can be fed manually by the user.

NonE: If set2 is not required it can be programmed as none.
Fd: Set2 programmed in cooling mode.(output ON when above the setpoint).
rE: Set2 programmed in heating mode.(output ON when below the setpoint)
• SET 2 TYPE:
AbS: Absolute alarm is a self-existent alarm independent of the main set point.
DEV: The alarm is activated at an error on the main set point.
• ALARM MODES:
(Refer USER GUIDE for detailed explanation).
• ALARM LATCH:
When Latch is ON, the alarm once activated remains activated even when the error is
removed. To deactivate the alarm, it has to be acknowledged by selecting AL-NO from the
front online options and pressing + .
• HOLD ALARM:
When HOLD is ON, in any alarm mode, it prevents an alarm signal on power-up. The alarm is
enabled only if the process temperature is within the alarm range.
• ALARM ANNUNCIATOR:
When alarm annunciator is ON, during alarm condition, visual annunciation is given by the
upper display altering between AL-NO and process temperature where NO is the alarm
number. The annunciator may be disabled by selecting function ANN as OFF.
• SENSOR ERROR LEVEL :
This parameter determines the analog retransmission output level in case of sensor failure.
For eg : In case of 4-20mA retransmission output, if the sensor error level is set to High, 20mA
will be available at the output at all times incase of input sensor failure.

! MAIN OUTPUT:
The main control output is selectable between Relay1 / Analog output (available across
terminals 4 and 5) and Relay2 (available across terminals 2 and 3). If main output is selected
as Relay 2, all the control parameters will be applicable to the output connected to Relay 2 but
the set point applicable will be Set 1 (main set point). For analog retransmission, the main
output must be set to Relay 2 and the analog output (across 4 and 5) will be used for
retransmission.
! SOFT START TIME:
Soft start time can be programmed in situations where full output is not required at power ON.
The time duration for the output to rise from 0% to 100% is programmed as soft start time.
! HAND OUTPUT PERCENTAGE:
This parameter can be used when a fixed percentage of output is desired. For example: If 4-
20mA analog output is being used and the desired output is 12mA, the hand percentage can
be programmed as 50%. This will ensure that the analog output available is fixed 12 mA i.e.
50%. In case of relay output models, the relay ON time and OFF time will be according to the
programmed Hand output percentage i.e. For 50% hand o/p percentage and cycle time
15sec, relay will be ON for 7.5sec and OFF for 7.5 sec.
! RAMP - SOAK:
The set point ramp feature can reduce thermal shock to the process, reduce temperature
overshoot on start-up or set point changes, or ramp the process at a controlled rate. The soak
feature can be used to hold the process at a preset temperature for a preset time.
Ramp modes:
Ramp OFF: Controller will be simple PID / ON-OFF controller with P, I, D
settings / hysteresis setting by user or default.
Ramp HOLD: Suspends the ramp at the last value.
Ramp ON: Initiates the ramp. Ramp rate and soak time settings as programmed by
the user or default.

n AUTO TUNING:
Auto tuning is a function whereby the controller PID - time proportioning
learns the process characteristics by itself and with auto reset & rate
automatically sets the required P,I and D values.
The auto-tuning function can be activated at any Temp. Proportional band
time during the process after power ON , while Reduced overshoot
temperature is rising or when control has
set point
stabilized. Autotune is indicated by T LED blinking
After the auto tuning procedures are completed,
the T LED will stop flashing and the unit will
revert to PID control by using its new PID values.
The PID values obtained are stored in the nonvolatile memory. Time
The auto-tuning is applied in cases of:
= Initial setup for a new process
= The set point is changed substanitally from the previous auto-tuning value.
= The control result in unsatisfactory.
The following controller parameters are automatically adjusted by Auto- tune
according to the characteristics of the process:
Proportional Band (Pb-1)
Integral Time (It-1)
Derivative Time (dt-1)
Input Filter (FtC)

If the control performance by using auto-tuning is still unsatisfactory, the following rules
can be applied for further adjustment of PID values:

! PROPORTIONAL BAND:

Proportional band is the area around the set point where the controller is actually
controlling the process; the output is at some level other than 100% or 0%.
Proportional band is expressed in terms of degree centigrade.
If the proportional band is too narrow an oscillation around the setpoint will result. If the
proportional band is too wide the control will respond in a sluggish manner, could take a
long time to settle at set point and may not respond adequately to upsets.

! MANUAL RESET:

Virtually no process requires precisely 50% output on single output controls or 0% output
on two output controls. The adjustment called manual reset allows the user to redefine the
output requirement at the setpoint. A proportioning control without manual or automatic
reset will settle out somewhere within the proportioning band but likely not on the setpoint.

! INTEGRAL TIME:

Integral time is defined as the time, in seconds, which corrects for any offset (between
setpoint and process variable) automatically over time by shifting the proportioning band.
Integral action (also known as “automatic reset”) changes the output power to bring the
process to setpoint. Integral times that are too fast (small times) do not allow the process
to respond to the new output value. This causes over-compensation and leads to an
unstable process with excessive overshoot. Integral times that are too slow (large times)
cause a slow response to steady state errors. Integral action may be disabled by setting
the time to zero. If time is set to zero, the previous integral output power value is
maintained. If integral action is disabled, manual reset is available by modifying the output
power offset (“MNL.r” initially set to zero) to eliminate steady state errors. The controller
has the feature to prevent integral action when operating outside the proportional band.
This feature is called “antireset wind-up”.

! DERIVATIVE TIME

Derivative action is used to shorten the process response time and helps to stabilize the
process by providing an output based on the rate of change of the process. In effect,
derivative action anticipates where the process is headed and changes the output before
it actually “arrives”. The derivative time is calculated in seconds. Increasing the derivative
time helps to stabilize the response, but too much derivative time coupled with noisy
signal processes, may cause the output to fluctuate too greatly, yielding poor control.
None or too little derivative action usually results in decreased stability with higher
overshoots. No derivative action usually requires a wider proportional and slower integral
times to maintain the same degree of stability as with derivative action. Derivative action is
disabled by setting the time to zero.

34
User Guide

! DERIVATIVE APPROACH CONTROL:

Derivative approach control (DAC) helps in reducing overshoot at startup. The control
output cutoff point is derived as DAC x Proportional band. Note that the DAC value is
automatically calculated and fed after autotuning (if tuning is initiated at startup).

! AUTO-TUNE OF HEAT/COOL SYSTEMS:

During Autotune of heat/cool systems, the controller switches the cooling output (O2) ON
and OFF in addition to the heat output (O1). The heat/cool overlap deadband parameter
(db in Level 2) determines the amount of overlap or deadband between the two outputs
during Autotune.
For most applications, set this parameter to 0.0 prior to starting Autotune. After the
completion of Autotune, this parameter may need to be reset. It is important that external
load disturbances be minimized, and if present, other zone controllers idled as these may
have an effect on the PID constant determination.
Some water cooled processes exhibit an extreme non-linear gain characteristic. That is,
the process cooling gain starts very high and flattens out deeper into the cooling region.
This effect may result in regular oscillations at setpoint as the controller applies heat to
counteract the effect. These processes may benefit from a lower cooling fan setting
and/or reduced water flow in the jacket or manifold. The process heat and cool gains
should be balanced as much as possible, and the controller gains adjusted to the
process.

! ANALOG OUTPUT-RETRANSMISSION:

1. The analog retransmission output feature allows the retransmission of the control
output to an external device.
2. The output is scaled by use of Analog low and high scaling points in level 2 of the
programming menu. The analog output will be proportional to PV (derived from
Analog Low and High scaling.)
3. A-LO : Displays the value that corresponds to 0V, 0/4mA as selected.
A-HI : Displays the value that corresponds to 10V or 20mA as selected.
4. Note that the main output selection in level 4 has to be relay 2.

! ALARM MODES:

1. Absolute alarms (Independent Alarm) :

Absolute alarm is a self-existent alarm independent of the main set point.For eg. If the
main set point is 100OC and absolute alarm is set as 110OC, the alarm will be activated at
110OC.
There are two absolute alarms-
Full scale High Alarm: sets off alarm signal when temperature rises above set point to a
pre-set temperature above scale minimum. Refer Fig: d.
Full scale Low Alarm: sets off alarm signal when temperature falls below setpoint to a
pre-set temperature above scale minimum. Refer Fig: e.

2. Deviation alarms (Error alarm):

This alarm is activated at an error on the main set point. For eg. If the main set point is
100OC and deviation alarm is set to +5 OC then the alarm will be activated at 100+5=105
O
C. Incase of deviation band alarm the alarm will be activated on both sides of set point i.e.
At 95 and 105.
There are three deviation alarms -
Deviation High Alarm: sets off alarm signal when temperature rises above a pre-set
temperature above the set point. Refer Fig: a.
Deviation Low Alarm: sets off alarm signal when temperature falls below a pre-set
temperature below the set point. Refer Fig: b.
Deviation Band Alarm: sets off alarm signal when temperature rises above or falls below
a pre-set temperature above or below the set point. Refer Fig: c.

! Zone PID:
There are 4 control Zones each having a set point and associated P, I and D values which
can be programmed as per the process requirements. A control Zone is selected
automatically and implemented as per the set value programmed, to accommodate
changing process requirements. The corresponding P, I,D values will be used to control
the process. The main advantage of Zone PID is in processes where there is a
requirement of frequent tuning, due to change in setpoint. Consider a case where the
process needs to be controlled at two different set points: 100OC and 400OC.
The Zone set points may be programmed as:
1. Zone setpoint 1 (Level1) : 150OC (This implies that for 0 < set1 < 150, Zone1 PID
values will be considered.)
2. Zone setpoint 2 (Level1) : 450OC (This implies that for 150 < set1 < 450, Zone2 PID
values will be considered.)
The P, I, D values for the respective Zones can be manually fed or can be tuned
automatically.
How to tune the Zones
NOTE : Zone setpoint is not the tuning setpoint.
To tune, say, Zone 1 program the following:
1. Set1 (Online) = 100OC (for eg.) (Zone 1 : 0 - 150OC)
Note: • Set1 < Zone setpoint 1.
• The PID settings derived after tuning are stored in Zone 1.
• After tuning, for 0 < Set1 < 150OC, PID settings of Zone 1 are applicable.

2. Program Tune = ON (in Level 1 or Online)

3. After tuning the controller is automatically loaded with the new PID values.

Now to tune the next Zone, Zone 2, program the following:

1. Set 1 (Online) = 400OC (Zone 2 :150 - 450OC)

Note: • Zone Setpoint 1 < Set 1 < Zone setpoint 2.
• The PID settings derived after tuning are stored in Zone 2.
• After tuning, for 150 < Set1 < 450OC, PID settings of Zone 2 are applicable.
Similarly, the four different Zones can be programmed.
