1. Installation and Basic Operation
1.1 What Instrument Do I Have?
Thank you for choosing this 3200 series Temperature Controller/Programmer.
A universal input accepts various thermocouples, RTDs or process inputs. Up to three 3216 outputs can be configured for control,
alarm or re-transmission purposes. Digital communications and a current transformer input are available as options.
The controller may have been ordered to a hardware code only or pre-configured using an optional ‘Quick Start’ code.
The label fitted to the side of the sleeve shows the ordering code that the controller was supplied to.
The last two sets of five digits show the Quick Code.
If the Quick Code shows *****/***** the controller was supplied with default parameters and will need to be configured when it
is first switched on.
This Manual takes you through all aspects of installation, wiring, configuration and use of the controller. Dimensions
General views of the controllers are shown below together with overall dimensions.

3.1.1 To Set The Target Temperature.
From the HOME display:-
Press to raise the setpoint
Press to lower the setpoint
The new setpoint is entered when the button is released and
is indicated by a brief flash of the display.
3.1.2 Alarms
Up to four process alarms may be configured. Each alarm
can be configured for:-
Full Scale Low The alarm is shown if the process value falls below a
set threshold
Full Scale High The alarm is shown if the process value rises above a
set threshold
Deviation Low The alarm is shown if the process value deviates
below the setpoint by a set threshold
Deviation High The alarm is shown if the process value deviates
above the setpoint by a set threshold
Deviation Band The alarm is shown if the process value deviates
above and below the setpoint by a set threshold
If an alarm is not configured it is not shown in the list of
level 2 parameters, section 5.3
Additional alarm messages may be shown such as
CONTROL LOOP BROKEN. This occurs if the controller
does not detect a change in process value following a
change in output demand after a suitable delay time.
Another alarm message may be INPUT SENSOR BROKEN
(SBr). This occurs if the sensor becomes open circuit; the
output level will adopt a ‘SAFE’ value which can be set up
in Operator Level 2.
3.1.3 Alarm Indication
If an alarm occurs, the red ALM beacon will flash. A
scrolling text message will describe the source of the alarm.
Any output (usually a relay) attached to the alarm will
operate. An alarm relay can be configured using the Quick
Start Codes to be energised or de-energised in the alarm
condition. It is normal to configure the relay to be de-
energised in alarm so that an alarm is indicated if power to
the controller fails.
Press and τ(ACK) together to acknowledge
If the alarm is still present the ALM beacon will light
continuously otherwise it will go off.
The action which takes place depends on the type of alarm
configured:-
Non
latching A non latching alarm will reset itself when the alarm condition is removed. By default
alarms are configured as non-latching, de-
energised in alarm.
Auto
Latching An auto latching alarm requires acknowledgement before it is reset. The
acknowledgement can occur BEFORE the
condition causing the alarm is removed.
Manual
Latching The alarm continues to be active until both the alarm condition is removed AND the
alarm is acknowledged. The
acknowledgement can only occur AFTER
the condition causing the alarm is removed.
By default alarms are configured as non-latching, de-
energised in alarm.

3.1.4 Auto, Manual and Off Mode
The controller can be put into Auto, Manual or Off mode –
see next section.
Auto mode is the normal operation where the output is
adjusted automatically by the controller in response to
changes in the measured temperature.
In Auto mode all the alarms and the special functions (auto
tuning, soft start, timer and programmer) are operative
Manual mode means that the controller output power is
manually set by the operator. The input sensor is still
connected and reading the temperature but the control loop
is ‘open’.
In manual mode the MAN beacon will be lit, Band and
deviation alarm are masked, the auto-tuning timer and
programmer functions are disabled.
The power output can be continuously increased or
decreased using the or buttons.
!Manual mode must be used with care. The power
level must not be set and left at a value that can damage
the process or cause over-heating. The use of a separate
‘over-temperature’ controller is recommended.
Off mode means that the heating and cooling outputs are
turned off. The process alarm and analogue retransmission
outputs will, however, still be active while Band and
deviation alarm will be OFF.
3.1.5
To Select Auto, Manual or Off Mode
Press and hold and (Mode) together for more
than 1 second.
This can only be accessed from the HOME display.
1. Auto’ is shown in the upper display.
After 5 seconds the lower display will
scroll the longer description of this
parameter. ie ’loop mode –auto
manual off’
2. Press to select ‘mAn’.Press
again to select ‘OFF’. This is shown in
the upper display.
3. When the desired Mode is selected, do
not push any other button. After 2
seconds the controller will return to the
HOME display.
4. If OFF has been selected, OFF will be shown in the
lower display and the heating and cooling outputs will
be off
5. If manual mode has been selected, the MAN beacon
will light. The upper display shows the measured
temperature and the lower display the demanded output
power.
☺The transfer from Auto to manual mode is ‘bumpless’.
This means the output will remain at the current value
at the point of transfer. Similarly when transferring
from Manual to Auto mode, the current value will be
used. This will then slowly change to the value
demanded automatically by the controller.
6. To manually change the power output, press or
to lower or raise the output. The output power is
continuously updated when these buttons are pressed
7. To return to Auto mode, press and 
together. Then press to select ‘Auto’.

CS 3216 Operators Manual 9
6. Access to Further Parameters
Parameters are available under different levels of security
and are defined as Level 1 (Lev1), Level 2 (Lev2), Level 3
(Lev 3) and Configuration (Conf).
Level 1 has no passcode since it contains a minimal set of
parameters generally sufficient to run the process on a daily
basis.
Level 2 allows access to parameters which may used in
commissioning a controller or settings between different
products or batches.
Level 1 and Level 2 operation has been described in the
previous sections.
Level 3 and Configuration level parameters are also
available as follows:-
6.1.1 Level 3
Level 3 makes all operating parameters available and
alterable (if not read only). It is typically used when
commissioning a controller.
Examples of parameters available in Level 3 are:-
Range limits, setting alarm levels, communications address.
The instrument will continue to control when in Levels 1, 2
or 3.
6.1.2 Configuration Level
This level makes available all parameters including the
operation parameters so that there is no need to switch
between configuration and operation levels during
commissioning. It is designed for those who may wish to
change the fundamental characteristics of the instrument to
match the process.
Examples of parameters available in Configuration level
are:-
Input (thermocouple type); Alarm type; Communications
type.
WARNING
Configuration level gives access to a wide range of
parameters which match the controller to the process.
Incorrect configuration could result in damage to the
process being controlled and/or personal injury. It is the
responsibility of the person commissioning the process to
ensure that the configuration is correct.
In configuration level the controller is not controlling the
process or providing alarm indication. Do not select
configuration level on a live process.

Diagnostic alarms indicate a possible fault within the controller or connected devices.
Display shows What it means What to do about it
E.Conf A change made to a parameter takes a finite time to be
entered. If the power to the controller is turned off
before the change has been entered then this alarm will
occur.
Do not turn the power off to the controller while ConF
is flashing
Enter configuration mode then return to the required
operating mode. It may be necessary to re-enter the
parameter change since it will not have been entered in
the previous configuration.
E.CaL Calibration error Re-instate Factory calibration
E2.Er EEPROM error Return to factory for repair
EE.Er Non-vol memory error Note the error and contact your supplier
E.Lin Invalid input type. This refers to custom linearisation
which may not have been applied correctly or may have
been corrupted.
Go to the INPUT list in configuration level and set a
valid thermocouple or input type
Emod IO1, OP2, or OP3 has been changed If this has been field changed by the installation of a
new board, enter config level, then exit back to operator
level.
If the message occurs at any other time return to factory
for repair.
