The electronic temperature controller of the ELTC type series is a controller with digital display for wall mounting. The tempera-
ture measured with a Pt100 temperature sensor is processed and displayed by a microcontroller. After an actual value/
setpoint comparison, the output relays are then switched according to the conguration. Cable glands and terminals are built in
for electrical connection. The device is supplied in a splash-proof plastic housing with a transparent housing cover including ac-
cessories. The temperature controller is also suitable for connection of temperature sensors type ELTF-PTEx in hazardous areas.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
If the actual value (P01) falls below the setpoint (P10 minus hysteresis P11), relay K1 switches the heating on. The integrated
alarm relay enables error messages via a changeover contact in case of over / under temperature, sensor interruption or sensor
short circuit. In the event of sensor errors, relay K1 switches the heating line off or on, depending on the configuration of the
controller.

CONNECTION PLAN
SPECIAL NOTES
Installation and safety information
ATTENTION
• Electrical connection / commissioning must be carried
out by a qualied electrician.
• The relevant local safety regulations must be observed.
Observe the connection values according to the type
plate and these instructions.
• When selecting the installation site, observe the IP
protection class and permissible operating temperature.
Locations protected from direct precipitation and sunlight
are advantageous.
• Operation only with closed cover, tightened screw con-
nections / blind plugs and installed seals.
Avoid damage, tensile stress, kinking and torsion of the
connected lines.
• The sensor lines must be shielded when extended, the
shielding must be grounded on one side near the cont-
roller. The cable must not be laid parallel to lines carrying
mains voltage. The total line resistance must not exceed
10 ohms.
• Make sure that the connection terminals have the correct
size and dimensioning to accommodate the conductors.
DANGER
A residual current circuit breaker is required for each circuit.
DANGER
Before starting work on heating or connection lines or ter-
minals, make sure that the corresponding circuit is switched
o and secured against unintentional reconnection
ATTENTION
• Persons involved in installations and testing of electrical
trace heating systems should be appropriately qualied to
perform the required actions
• Electrical heat-tracing systems should be installed under
the direction of a qualied electrician who has completed
supplemental training on electrical heat-tracing systems
• Critical work, such as making connections or terminations,
should be performed only by qualied personnel
NOTE
After switching on the controller, the display shows the
current actual value.

OPERATION
After switching on, the type number ("C-2") and software
version of the device appear and after approx. three seconds
the measured actual value. If the "P" key is pressed briey, the
"Set" display appears and then the setpoint value is displayed
with an automatic return after 5 seconds. If the "P" key is pres-
sed for approx. 3 seconds, the parameter list "P10" is display-
ed. If the "P" key is held down for a further 3 seconds, " dC" for
degrees Celsius or " dF" for degrees Fahrenheit is displayed.
Protection against unauthorized operation
The control setpoints can basically be set without restriction,
provided they are not limited by "P13/P14". All other parame-
ters are protected by a code.
If a code is required, the display shows "C00". Use the arrow
keys " / " to set the required code number "C42" and
conrm with "P".
After approx. 1 minute without pressing any key, the code is
requested again.
Autoscrolling
If you hold down the arrow keys " / ", the values continue
to scroll automatically.
Error messages
In the event of an error, the display shows an error code. Sen-
sor errors are displayed with a delay of approx. 10 seconds.
Error codes
• E01 = Sensor short circuit or temperature < -60°C
• E02 = Sensor interruption or temperature > 410°C
• E03 = 3rd wire is missing or R ≥ 10Ω
• C00 = Protected parameters, code entry required
Keys

1st"." = Control relay ON
2nd"." = Alarm relay activated (=switched OFF)

tection applications and use of self-regulating trace heaters.

Mode Enable relay
Mode Alarm relay
In this operating mode (P34=2 or 5), relay K2 switches inde-
pendently of P32 and P33 as soon as the actual value is within
P30 and P31.
(P34 = 0 or 1) : If the actual temperature is below P31 when
the device is started, P33 is used once as the alarm delay to
give more time to the system. In normal operation, P32 is used
as alarm delay.
