4. Getting Started
Beforeyouconnectthepowertothiscontrollerorinstallittoacontrolpanel,pleasereadthemanual
thoroughlytounderstandhowthecontrollerworks.Youshouldunderstandthefollowingbeforeyou
startusingthecontroller:
1. Identifythecorrectterminalsforconnectingthepowersupply,thetemperaturesensor,the
outputtodriveexternalsolid‐staterelays.
2. Understandwhatinformationwillbeconveyedbyeachofthedisplaywindowandeach
indicator.
3. Familiarwithhowtochangethesettemperatureorpowerpercentageonthecontroller.
4. Familiarwithhowtoaccessthemenusandunderstandwhateachparameterdoes.

5. Connecting the Controller
5.1. Power Input
ThecontrollerrequiresanACpowersupplyineither120VACor230VAC.TheinputACpower
shouldbeconnectedto#9and#10.

5.2. Sensor Input
Thiscontrollercanacceptafewcommonlyusedtemperaturesensors:typeKthermocouple,
PT1000RTD,NTC50Kohmthermistor,andPT100RTD.

 PT1000RTD:connectsensorleadsto#4and#5.Nopolarity.
 NTC50Kohmthermistor:connectsensorleadsto#4and#5.Nopolarity.
 PT100RTD:connecttwowiresofthesamecolorto#4and#5;connecttheotherlead
to#6.

Theinputsensortypeonthecontroller,parameter“Sn”(Sn),mustbesettomatchthe
actualsensortypethatisconnected.Byfactorydefault,thecontrollerissettoreadytypeK
thermocouple(K).Pleaseseesection8.2fordetails.

5.3. Control Output
Theoutputsignalfromthiscontrollerisa12VDCsignal,whichcanbeusedtodrivesolid‐state
relays.TheoutputstatusisindicatedbythegreenOUTLEDonthefrontpanel.

6. Changing the Set Value
ThedefaultSetValue(SV)is100°F.TochangetheSetValue:
1. TurntheknobandaflashingdotwillappearonthelowerrightcorneroftheSVwindow.
2. TurntheknobtoclockwisetoincreasetheSV;turntheknowcounter‐clockwisetodecrease
theSV.OncegettothedesiredSV,pressdowntheknobtosavethenewvalue.Otherwise,the
oldSVwillberestored.
3. OncethenewSVisconfirmed,thedotinthelowerrightcornerwillgoaway.
4. TheSVcanbechangedcontinuouslybetweenthetemperaturevalueandthepower
percentagevalue.Pleaseseethenextsectionfordetails.
5. IftheSVissettoapercentagevalue,thelowerwindowwillshowletter“P”ontheleft
window.TheA‐MLEDdiodeturnsontoindicatethatthecontrollerisworkinginmanual
controlmode.(Figure3)

7. Switching between Auto Mode and Manual Mode
OneofthemostconvenientfeaturesinDSPR‐5isthattheSVcanbechangedcontinuouslybetweena
temperaturevalue(0°Fto932°F)andapowerpercentagevalue(0%to100%),andthecorresponding
controlmodebetweenchangedaswellbetweentheAutoControlModeandtheManualControl
Mode.
Auto Control Mode
WhentheSVisatemperaturevalue,thecontrollerworksinautomaticcontrolmode,whichmeansthe
controllerwillautomaticallyadjusttheoutputpowertobringthetemperaturetothetargetvalue.The
lowerwindowwilljustshowanumberwithoutanyletter.TheyellowA‐Mindicatorshouldbeoff.

AuberInstruments,Inc.  www.auberins.com


Manual Control Mode
WhentheSVissettoapercentagevalue,thecontrollerworksinmanualcontrolmode,whichmeans
thecontrollerwillsendthepowerpercentagedeterminedbytheuser.Thelowerwindowwillshow
letter“P”onthelefttoindicatortheSVisapercentagevalue.TheyellowA‐Mindicatorshouldbeon.



PleaseseethetwoimagesinFigure3,whichshowacontrollerinAutoModeontheleft,anda
controllerinManualModeontheright.ThecontrollerinManualModehastheA‐Mindicatorturning
onandtheletter“P”(P)inthelowerwindow.
ToswitchbetweenAutoModeandManualMode:
1. SimplyturntheknobtochangetheSVtoeitheratemperature(automode)orapercentage
value(manualmode).TheSVcanbechangedcontinuouslyfrom0%to100%to0°Fto932°F.
2. AstheSVvaluetransitsbetweenpercentagevalue“P100”andtemperaturevalue“0”degree,
thelowerwindowtoprompteither“TEMP”(temp)or“PCT”(Pct)brieflytoindicatethe
newSVwillbeatemperaturevalueorapercentagevalue.
3. WhentheSVissettoapercentagevalue,thelowerwindowwillshowletter“P”ontheleftand
theA‐Mindicatorwillturnon.
4. WhentheSVissettoatemperaturevalue,thelowerwindowwillonlyshowanumberandthe
A‐Mindicatorwillturnoff.

8. Access the Menu
Pressdowntheknobandholditfor2secondstobringupthemenu.Thetopwindowwillshow“goto”
(GOTO).Turntheknobtochangethelowerwindowto“CTRL”(CTRL)or“SYST”(SYST),thenpress
downtheknobshortlytoenternextlevelofmenu.Whenthecontrollerisinthemenusystem,ifthere
isnoactionfor30secondsfromtheuser,thecontrollerwillautomaticallyreturntothenormal
operatingmode.
