CAUTION: Installaon should be only performed by technically
competent personnel. It is the responsibility of the installing engineer to
ensure that the conguraon is safe. Local regulaons regarding
electrical installaon & safety must be observed - e.g. US Naonal
Electrical Code (NEC) and/or Canadian Electrical Code. Impairment of
protecon will occur if the product is used in a manner not specied by
the manufacturer.

To access the opon modules, rst pull the instrument from the housing.
a. Detach the main boards by liing rst the upper, and lower mounng struts.
b. Plug the required opon modules into the correct connectors, as shown below.
c. Locate the module tongues in the corresponding slot on the opposite board.
d. Hold the Power and Input boards together while relocang on their mounngs.
e. Push the boards forward to ensure correct connecon to the Display board.
f. Replace the instrument by aligning the boards with the guides in the housing,
then slowly push the instrument back into posion.
Note: Opon modules are automacally detected at power up.

Replacement of Main Boards
CAUTION: Replacement of main boards should only be carried out if
unavoidable, and must only be carried out by trained personnel.
When replacing the power supply board, observe the transformer colour and case
labelling to check the supply voltage, otherwise irreparable damage may occur. If the
display or input boards are replaced, a full recalibraon must be carried out.

CAUTION: Do not remove the panel gasket; it is a seal against dust and
moisture.
CAUTION: The instrument is double insulated. All external circuits
connected must provide double insulaon. Failure to comply with the
installaon instrucons may impact the protecon provided by the unit.
Rear Terminal Wiring
Note: The wiring diagrams shows all possible opon combinaons. The connecons required depend
on the opons ed. Use single strand (1.2mm / AWG18 max size) copper wire, except for the
thermocouple input, where the correct thermocouple or compensang cable and connectors should
be used.

CAUTION: Check correct operang voltage on the side label before
connecng power. A UL listed 1A an-surge fuse, rated 250V (for AC)
65V (for DC) should be ed to the power input. An IEC60947-1 &
IEC60947-3 compliant isolaon switch should be ed close to the unit,
in easy reach of the operator, and appropriately marked.
All connecons to the device must be made through a spade format or
similar connecon, with connecon to the spade terminal touching both the
insulaon and conductor material.(Use a standard crimping tool) All
connecons must be Mechanically secured so as to prevent any wiring
becoming loose and coming in contact with other wires or the instrument
casing.
The above applies to any and all connecon to hazardous mains supply
either direct or indirect (Through a switch (Relay))
Main Terminals
CAUTION: External compung devices connected to the
communicaons port must comply with the standard, UL 60950.

Tune algorithm:
The Tune procedure is acvated by selecng Yes on Automac Tune selecon screen
The Tune can select two types of procedures:
1) The Pre-TUNE algorithm
2) The Self-Tune algorithm
1) Pre-TUNE ALGORITHM
To implement the Pre-TUNE algorithm set the instrument in manual mode and then
select Run "Pre-Tune". "Pre-Tune" will switch to OFF aer PID parameters calculaon
(during this procedure the LED will be ashing).
The basic concepts of auto tuning system are based on the open loop pulse response,
for this reason the Pre-TUNE funcon may be acvated only in manual mode.
The equivalent mathemacal model of the process is characterized by three
parameters: the gain, the me constant and the equivalent me delay.
The power output of the controller is changed by a small step value (This value has to
be entered by the user before the pre tune can take place in manual mode) and the
controller stores the process variable response. If the pre-tune step is set too high it
will create an overshoot and therefore needs to be reduced. The pre-tune step power
is added to manual power and displayed to the user but is not changeable. The
expected range is from –25.0% to 25.0% of full scale. The default value is 10.0%.
2) Self-Tune ALGORITHM
In order to implement the Self-Tune algorithm the instrument should be in automac
mode. Then select run “Self-Tune”. In this case the “ON” will be remembered by the
instrument even if the instrument was switched o. In order to deacvate the
Self-Tune, it is necessary to return the “Self-Tune” parameter to “No”
The self-tune is a on-line algorithm that “observes” the measured value and looks for
oscillaon due to variaons of the load or set-point changes. When a
signicant paern is “recognized” a decisional procedure starts in order to
recalculate the parameters of PID controller.
When the Self-tune procedure is enabled the PI parameters (PB, TI) are read only.
Automac stand-by:
This funcon avoids overshoot due to temporary process interrupons (PV goes to
zero). When the input signal goes to zero the controller output reaches the
saturaon for integral factor eect; when the process restarts the controlled output
will have an excessive and dangerous overshoot.

When the “automac stand-by” funcon is acvated by seng the Pressure Standby
Threshold to something other than OFF the algorithm monitors the controller input.
When the input value leaves the requested band (specied by the “Pressure Standby
Threshold” parameter) the control output assumes immediately the last value stored
when the process was stable. (For steady state condion the process value must
be inside of the requested band [Setpoint +- Standby Threshold] for more than one
minute. Once Calculated this value remains unchanged unl there is a change of the
setpoint, or changing the controller main state from manual to automac mode. )
If the process value is inside of the band for more than one minute, the actual
controller output value will be saved to become acve during the recovery me and
the delay me phase of standby sequence. Addionally an extra limitaon of the
controller output value will be acvated to prevent very fast changes in the rotaon
speed of the motor by the Standby Acve Limit.
Min: [actual controller output - Standby Acve Limit]
Max: [actual controller output + Standby Acve Limit]
The freezing of the output of the controller will last for a me specied by the
“Pressure stand-by recovery me” parameter. If the parameter “Pressure standby
recovery me” is set to O, the controller will set to manual mode and the stored
value for controller output becomes acve unl otherwise changed.
If the controller input does not recover within the specied me, the output value
is forced to zero. If the controller input recovers within the specied me, the
algorithm wait for two and half me the integral value; aer this me has elapsed,
the controller will come back automacally to normal “running” condion (limited by
Standby Acve Limit) to the output level calculated when the process was stable.
Auto-manual Start Up:
This parameter seng will allow the user to start the controller in either manual
mode, where they will be able to start their process under their own manual control
output value or in automac mode where the controller outputs power to control
the process automacally. Tuned values in manual mode should be dened from
manual mode before this seng is changed from its default of starng process in
Manual mode.
Dierenal Pressure value:
This is always to be calculated as A-B or pressure 1- pressure 2. Only available when
controller has a 2nd Universal input card ed.

Manual to Automac transfer:
When transferring from manual control to Automac control there are two methods:
Bumpless Mode (without modicaon of set point) and Set Point mode (when the
current Set Point is modied it will be set to the actual measured input value). If in
Manual mode runs as open loop i.e SP is really the percentage output power, hence
how the transfer can be bumpless or SP change.
Input n Calibraon Set the percentage of range the calibraon shunt resistor needs to be set at between
40%and 100%. Default 80%

Start Input n HIgh Point Calibraon Press 􀀥+􀀥keys to begin calibraon procedure (Can only be accessed once a
successful low calibraon has been completed)
Error Messages Count Fail means the low calibraon will fail if the oset is less than -10mV or
greater than +10mV. This signies potenal faulty sensors or the high
calibraon will fail if the count value is less than +20mV or greater than +50mV. This
signies potenal faulty sensors RCal Fail means the high calibraon will fail if the
mV value is within 10mV of the low calibraon value. This is a potenal RCAL failure.
