WARNING
·Wiring precautions
-Install an external protection circuit if failure of this instrument could result in damage to your system.
-In order to prevent instrument damage or failure, protect the power line and the input/output lines from
high currents by using fuses with appropriate ratings. A very fast blowing fuse (such as an I2t fuse) is
needed when the output device is a solid-state relay (SSR). Please check with your fuse supplier for the
correct fuse for your SSR.
·Power supply
-Supply power of the specified rating.
-Do not turn on the power until all of the wiring is completed.
-Never use this instrument in the presence of inflammable gases or vapor.
-In order to prevent electric shock or burns, never touch the inside of the instrument.
-Do not attempt to modify this instrument.
·Maintenance
-Only authorized service engineers should replace parts.
-In order to use this instrument continuously and safely, conduct periodic maintenance. Some parts used
in this instrument have a limited service life and may deteriorate over time.
Caution
·Only clean the instrument when power is off.
·Please use a soft cloth or tissue to clean up stains on the display.
·Never use sharp & hard objects such as screwdrivers or ball pens to touch the buttons on the panel.

The values of the P, I, and D parameters are critical for good response time, accuracy and stability of
the system. Using the Auto-Tune function to automatically determine these parameters is recommended for
the first time user. If the auto tuning result is not satisfactory, you can manually fine-tune the PID constants
for improved performance.
Note 4. Proportional Constant (P): Represents the gain of the signal amplifier. Larger gain means the
controller will have more output power change for the same difference between set temperature (SV) and
measured temperature (PV). Smaller P value represents higher gain, or faster action.
Note 5. Integration time (I): Brings the system up to the set value by adding a constant to the output that is
proportional to how far the process value (PV) is from the set value (SV) and how long it has been there.
When I decreases, response speed is faster but the system is less stable. When I increases, respond speed is
slower, but system is more stable.
Note 6. Differentiation time (d): Responds to the rate of change of the process value so that the controller
can compensate in advance before |SV-PV| gets too big. A larger number increases its action. Setting
d-value too small or too large would decrease system stability, causing oscillation or even
non-convergence.
Note 7. Damp constant: This constant can help the PID control further improve the control quality. It helps
to damp the temperature overshoot. When its value is too low, the system might overshoot. When it is too
high, the system will be over damped.
Note 8. Control Period (also called cycle rate) (ot): When ot gets smaller, heating/cooling cycle is drive
faster, system respond speed is faster. For SSR output, ot is normally set at 2. But when using contact
control (Relays), contacts wear out faster so it is normally at 5~30 seconds.
Note 9. Digital Filtering (Filt): Filt=0, filter disabled; Filt=1, weak filtering effect; Filt=3, strongest
filtering effect. Stronger filtering increases the stability of the readout display, but causes more delay in the
response to changes in temperature.
c) Temperature setting andAlarm setting
To enter the temperature and alarm parameter setting mode, press , enter the code “0001”, and press

again. The parameter flow chart is shown in Fig. 3

End Exit
Note 11. The SV can also be set directly during the normal operation mode. Press (^) or (v) key to switch
the display from process value (PV) to set value (SV). Press (^) or (v) key again to increase or decrease SV
by 1 degree.
i. Relay J1 value
① When AH1=AL1，relay is disabled,
② AH1＞AL1 is for absolute high alarm. See fig. 4.
③ AH1＜AL1 is for absolute low alarm. See fig. 5.
5. Auto-Tuning
Auto-Tuning function (also called self tuning) can automatically optimize the PID parameters for the
system. The auto-tuning function will heat up the system then let it cool down. It will repeat several
times. Based on the response time of the system, the built-in artificial intelligence program will
calculate and set the PID parameters for the controller.
Figure 6
A）To activate auto-tuning, press and hold key until the “AT” indicator starts to blink, which indicates
auto-tuning is in progress. When “AT” stops blinking, the auto-tuning is finished. Now, newly calculated
PID parameters are set and are used for the system. Please note that Auto-tuning is only for PID control
mode (when “outy”is set at 1 or 2)

B）To stop the auto-tuning, press and hold key until “AT” indicator stops blinking. Then, the previous
PID parameters value are resumed，
6. Terminal Wiring (back view)
The polarity of power at terminal 1 and 2 do not matter.
Figure 7. Wiring diagram with thermocouple (TC) input on the left and RTD input on the right. Please
note that if the RTD is connected by two wires instead of three wires (for short distance application), the
terminal 6 and 7 need to be shorted.
7. Application Example
A furnace that can operate in the 0℃～1000℃range needs to be controlled at 800℃. Alarm will go
off if T > 850℃， Power source is 220VAC，Heating element is switched by a SSR。K type thermocouple
is used as the temperature sensor.

Auto-tunig is used to set the PID parameters.
（SV）=800℃, （AH1）=850℃, （AL1）=848℃
Power up the controller. Press and hold the key until “AT” starts to blink. The controller starts
the Auto-tuning. When the “AT” stops blinking, the new PID parameters are generated for the
system. The controller is in normal operation mode. The furnace will be maintained at 800℃。
