GETTING STARTED
1. Install the control as described on page 5.
2. Wire your control following the instructions on pages 5-11. If you are using a two-
wire transmitter as an input, see the drawing and instructions on page 7. Option
wiring instructions are on pages 8-11. Option descriptions and specific instructions
start on page 19.
3. Most controls do not need many (if any) program changes to work on your process.
or best results when changing the programming, make all the necessary changes
in the Secure Menu (page 31) before making changes to the Secondary Menu (page
24). If error messages occur, check the Error Messages on page 41-43 for help.
Take the example of a Model 26010 that comes from the factory programmed for type J
thermocouples. Suppose for this example you wish to change the input to a 100 ohm
Platinum RTD and limit the set point range between 0° and 300°C.
irst, enter the Secure menu by pressing and holding the UP ARR W & ENTER
keys for 5 Seconds. Press the INDEX key until the display shows InP and press the
D WN ARR W until the display shows P385. Don’t forget to press the ENTER
key to retain your setting.
Next, press the INDEX key to display Unit. Press the D WN ARR W until the
display shows C. Press ENTER.
Next, press the INDEX key until SPL is displayed (pass the dPt, InPt, and SEnC
selections). Press the UP ARR W until the display shows 0. Press ENTER.
inally, press INDEX key to display SPH. Press the D WN ARR W until the
display shows 300. Press ENTER.
The necessary program changes are now complete. After 30 seconds the display will
switch back to the temperature reading. If you want to return faster, press the
UP ARR W & ENTER keys (at the same time) and then press the D WN
ARR W & INDEX keys (again at the same time). This will ‘back out’ of the menu and
immediately display the temperature reading.
If you want to use Self Tune®, Auto/Manual, or the Ramp/Soak Programmer features, see
the special sections on these items. Page numbers for these are in the Contents section
on the previous page.

INSTALLATI N
Mount the instrument in a location that will not be subject to excessive temperature, shock,
or vibration. All models are designed for mounting in an enclosed panel.
Select the position desired for the instrument on the panel. If more than one instrument is
required, maintain the minimum of spacing requirements as shown on the drawing below.
Closer spacing will structurally weaken the panel, and invalidate the IP66, UL type 4X rating
of the panel.
Prepare the panel by cutting and deburring the required opening.
rom the front of the panel, slide the housing through the cut out. The housing gasket should
be against the housing flange before installing.
rom the rear of the panel slide the mounting collar over the housing. Hold the housing with
one hand and using the other hand, push the collar evenly against the panel until the spring
loops are slightly compressed. The ratchets will hold the mounting collar and housing in
place.
CAUTI N: It is not necessary to remove the instrument chassis from the
housing for installation. If the instrument chassis is removed from the
housing, you must follow industry standard practice for control and
protection against Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Failure to exercise good
ESD practices may cause damage to the instrument.
WIRING
Do not run RTD, thermocouple, or other class 2 wiring in the same conduit as
power leads. Use only the type of thermocouple or RTD probe for which the
control has been programmed. Maintain separation between wiring of sensor,
optional inputs and outputs and other wiring. See the “Secure Menu” for input
selection.
or thermocouple input always use extension leads of the same type designated
for your thermocouple.

N TATI N C NVENTI NS F R THE MENUS
Because of the number of features available in this control, information is included that
may not apply to your specific control. All usable features are included in this book, but
may not be used in your process. To increase clarity the following conventions are used:
1. Certain features, menu items, and functions shown in this book may or may not appear
on your control, depending on other menu item selections. At various places in the menus
there are notes identifying menu items that “control” or “direct” other menu items. If you
are looking for a particular menu item and can’t find it, check the menu item that is its
“control” for proper setting.
2. The “#” symbol is used in two ways. It is used inside a group of characters to indicate
which set point function (SP1 or SP2) is being affected. It is also used before a group of
characters of a menu item to indicate that there may be more than one selection or value
for that menu item. This is used for certain repeated items such as in the Ramp/Soak
Program section.
DISPLAY C NVENTI NS
The instrument front has two four digit displays, eleven indicators, and six keys. The
diagram on page 12 shows the location of the displays and descriptors.
During normal operation the top four digit display indicates the temperature that is being
read by the sensor. The bottom display indicates the set point. When you are
programming the instrument, the bottom display indicates the Menu Item being
programmed and the top display the value selected for that Menu Item. Error messages
use both the top and bottom displays to indicate a particular error.
Each character can only be displayed with seven light segments. Alphabet characters may
look peculiar when seen presented this way. The following is an example of the ‘seven
segment alphabet’ as used in the instrument:
A B C D E G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
A b CdEFGHIJKLmnOPQ rSt U V U X Z
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 1 2 3 4 567 8 9
Notice that some characters are in upper case while others are in lower case. Some look
the same (e.g. G [G] and 9 [9]) and must be interpreted by context. Others are close (e.g.
B [b] and 6 [6]), but different. Usually, the context of the term or value will help you
determine the correct character.

THE H ME DISPLAY
The home display is the normal display while the control is operating. If no errors or
functions are active, the HOME display will indicate the Process Variable (the
temperature, pressure, flow, RH, etc., that is being measured) on the top display and the
Set Variable (Set Point 1) on the bottom.
Items that can change the HOME display are the Auto/Manual function, the Run/Hold
function, the Pro9 function, the PctO function, and any error message. Description of
these special displays follows.
If the Auto/Manual key is pressed, the Manual indicator lights, the “%” indicator lights,
and the home display is changed. The upper display continues to show the Process
Variable (PV), but the lower display changes to show the percentage of output in tenths of
a percent to 99.9% (0.0 to 99.9), or 100 if 100%. The display digit to the right of the
number shows a flashing letter oto indicate that the value displayed is no longer the SV,
but percent output. The SP2 percent output is indicated by the use of an overline on the
letter õ. Access to the SP2 value is made by the INDEX key. See Auto/Manual
Operation on Page 17 for further information.
If Pro9 is turned On, the HOME display changes the SV display from SP1 to the Present
Set Variable as calculated by the Ramp/Soak Programmer function. See Programming
and Operation for Ramp/Soak eature below for more information.
If PctO (Secondary Menu) is turned On, the lower display changes to show the active
percentage of output as required to maintain SP1. The display is similar to the Auto/Manual
display above, except that the percent indicators (o,õ) do not flash, and the output is
displayed in whole percentages of output, not in tenths of a percent. If the control has both
SP1 and SP2, the lower display will alternate between the SP1 percent output and the SP2
percent output.
Error messages are listed on pages 41-43.
PR GRAMMING AND PERATI N F R RAMP / S AK FEATURE
The ramp / soak feature offers a great deal of flexibility by allowing changes in the set
point to be made over a predetermined period of time. Dwell times can be programmed,
and the alarm output relay can be programmed to open or close during any of the
segments.
Theory of peration
The 2600 Series controls offer a very simple approach to programming a ramp. Rather
than requiring the operator to calculate an approach rate (usually in degrees per minute),
the 2600 does the calculation internally. Thus, the operator only needs to program the
target set point and the time desired to reach that point. When the ramp segment is
executed by the control, it calculates the ramp required to move the process from the
starting value (current PV) to the desired value (programmed SP) in the time allowed.

Soaks (or dwells) are ramp segments where the target set point is the same as the
beginning process value. This allows for multistage ramps without wasting intermediate
soak steps. Care must be taken, however, that the process does actually reach the soak
value before the soak time starts. If not, the next segment will calculate a slope from the
starting PV to the target SP. Depending on your process requirements, this difference
may be important. Make sure to test any program for desired results before running
production material.
Do not operate Self Tune while a ramp function is operating. The ramp function will
prevent the Self Tune from operating properly. Make sure that all tuning is set up
before operating Ramp / Soak.
Program Setup
All of the programming for the Ramp / Soak function is done in the Secondary Menu. You
may wish to work out your program on paper before going into the programmer menu
sequence.
In the Secondary Menu INDEX to Pro9 and make sure that Pro9 is set to OFF.
INDEX to PSEt and turn On. Press ENTER.
Skip the StAt setting (this is discussed later) and press INDEX to 1ti.
The following items repeat in the following order: 1ti, 1SP, 1A1 and/or 1A2 (if AL1 or AL2 in
the Secure Menu are programmed set to EUnt), 2ti, 2SP, 2A1,..., 16ti, 16SP, 16A1, 16A2. To
avoid repetition each item will only be described once.
Set 1ti to the amount of time you want for the first ramp. This value is in time units
(determined by the tbAS menu item) from 0to 9999. Press ENTER.
Set 1SP to the target value desired for the first ramp. This value is in actual units just like
SP1. If the control is programmed for temperature, then the SP displays are in temperature.
If the control is programmed for some other engineering unit, the SP is set in that unit.
Press INDEX to continue. If Alarm 1 is programmed as an event (AL1 = EUnt), then
1A1 will appear. If you wish the Alarm 1 contact to function for this segment, set 1A1 for On. If
not, set for OFF. Press ENTER. When 1A1 is set to On, the Alarm 1 function will be
active for the entire period set in 1ti above.
Complete setting the segment times (2ti ... 16ti), segment set points (2SP... 16SP), and
event alarms (2A1 ... 16A1) to O n or OFF.
or unneeded or unused segments set the segment times (2ti ... 16ti) to 0, and set the
segment set points (2SP ... 16SP) to the same value as the last active set point. A segment
alarm may be set to indicate “end of run” at the segment number you select.

The last menu item for the ramp / soak function is PEnd. PEnd determines what the control
does when the program has ended. You may choose to have the program repeat (LooP),
Hold the last set point (16SP), revert to the local SP1, or turn the outputs off (OoFF).
It is important to remember that if you want the program to repeat, you must allow the
process to return to the same condition that existed when the program first started.
Remember that the ramp function calculates the slope by drawing a line from the
beginning PV to the ramp target set point. If the PV at the end of the program is different
than the PV at the initial start, the ramp will calculate differently.
Ramp / Soak peration
When you wish to start the program, enter the Secondary Menu and set the Pro9 menu
item to O n . Return to the HOME position by waiting for the display to time out or by
pressing the UP ARROW & ENTER keys and then the DOWN ARROW
& INDEX keys.
The home display will read as it normally does. The HOLD indicator by the RUN / HOLD
key will be lit. To start the program press the RUN / HOLD key for three seconds. The
HOLD indicator will go out, and the program will start.
To suspend the program at any time, press the RUN / HOLD key. Press the key again
to resume.
Pressing the AUTO / MANUAL key will also suspend the program operation. The
difference is that AUTO / MANUAL also puts the control into manual mode. See Auto /
Manual Operation on page 18.
The function of the Primary Menu will change depending on the setting of the StAt menu
item in the Secondary Menu. If StAt is OFF then the Primary Menu is not changed.
If the StAt menu item is set to On, then the Primary Menu has three additional
information items added before SP1 appears. The first INDEX item displays the time
remaining in the current segment in the top display (####), and the message ti, in the
lower display. The next INDEX item displays the total time for the active segment in the
upper display (####) and the message ##t i (1ti...16ti), in the lower display. The third
INDEX item displays the segment set value (####) in the top display, and the message
##S P (1SP...16SP) in the lower display. The next INDEX press resumes the normal Primary
Menu

AUT / MANUAL PERATI N
The AUTO / MANUAL function allows you to manually adjust the output of the control. This
is normally used during process setup or start up. It can also be used for troubleshooting.
To switch from AUTO to MANUAL press the AUTO / MANUAL key and hold for three
seconds. The MANual indicator will light and the lower display will change from normal to
showing the actual output in percent. The value will be the actual percentage of output
that was active when the key was pressed. This is usually known as “bumpless transfer”.
If you wish to change the output while in manual, press the UP ARROW or DOWN
ARROW keys to change the value, and press ENTER to retain it. It is important to
remember that the value of the display is read as 0 to 100% of the full control output, NOT
the range between S1OL and S1OH or S2OL and S2OH. or example, if the set point one
output is programmed for 4 to 20 mA (S1OL=20, S1OH=100), a reading of 50% in
MANUAL represents 10 mA, not 12 mA. This allows the operator to go above and below
the output range to allow for improperly function equipment that may be connected to the
control output.
To return to AUTOmatic control, press the AUTO / MANUAL key again. The MANual
indicator will go out, and the set point will take over. However, if you want bumpless
transfer back to AUTO, slowly change the percentage of output until the process variable
matches (or at least is close) to the set point. The further away the PV is from the set
point, the greater the “bump” or upset there will be in the output.
SELF TUNE FUNCTI N
Self Tune allows automatic selection of the necessary parameters to achieve best control
operation from your 2600 Series control. If you are using the control output as a simple
on-off function (Out1 set for OnOF), none of the following will apply.
Theory of peration
The Self Tune function calculates the Pb1, rES, and rtE parameters under the Pid tunE
selection, and the Fbnd and FrtE parameters, as shown in the Secondary Menu. These
values are determined by measuring the response of the process connected to the
control. When Self Tune is started, the control temporarily acts as an on-off control. While
in this mode the control measures the overshoot and undershoot of the process, and the
period of the process (the time from peak value to the next peak value). These
measurements are collected over a period that lasts three periods of overshoot and
undershoot. The data collected over this time is then compared and calculated into final
PID and uzzy Logic values. The effect of uzzy Logic on the process is still controlled by
the Fint (fuzzy intensity) setting. If Fint is 0, the Fbnd and FrtE will be calculated, but will
have no effect. The calculations for the PID values are the same as used in the standard
Ziegler - Nichols equations that have been recognized as standard for decades.
The only modification to the application of the Ziegler - Nichols equations is controlled by
the dFAC menu item. This menu item controls the amount of rate (derivative) that is
applied. A dFAC setting of 3(factory default) or less allows for less damping. A dFAC
setting of 4allows for critical damping as set forth in Ziegler - Nichols. A dFAC setting of 5
or more allows over damping of the process.

Program Setup and peration
Do not cool the process or add heat while the tuning is occurring. In the secondary menu
set tunE to SELF. Skip LErn and check to make sure that dFAC is set to the desired value.
Back up to LErn and set to E S . The control will begin the Self Tune function. While the
Self Tune function is active, the right hand decimal point on the lower display will blink.
When Self Tune is complete, the blinking will stop.
After Self Tune is complete, the tunE setting automatically switches to Pid. This allows
examination and / or modification of the values calculated. We recommend that you do not
change the calculated values unless you have a firm understanding of the parameters
involved and their function.
PERATI N AND PR GRAMMING F PTI NS
ptions 924, 926, 928, Analog Remote Set Point
The analog remote set point allows the control set point to be determined by an outside
analog signal. The signal may be 0 to 10 VDC (Option 924), 0 (or 4) to 20 mADC (Option
926), or 0 to 10,000 Ohms (Option 928).
Wire the input as shown on pages 8 and 9.
To set up the analog remote set point, first determine the scale range that the analog
signal will represent. The maximum span is 11,998 degrees or counts. In the Secure Menu
set rSCLfor the scale value that will be represented by the low end of the analog signal (0
Volts, 0 mA, 0 Ohms). Set rSCH for the scale value that will be represented by the high
end of the analog signal (10 Volts, 20 mA, 10,000 Ohms).
If you require a suppressed scale or input, use the following equations to determine the
proper settings for rSCL and rSCH.
K= (Highest desired scale reading - Lowest desired scale reading) / (Maximum desired
analog signal - Minimum desired analog signal).
rSCH = ((Maximum possible analog signal- Maximum desired analog signal) * K) + Highest
desired analog reading.
rSCL = Lowest desired scale reading - ((Minimum desired analog signal) * K).
Make sure that a valid analog signal is available to the control. In the Secondary Menu set
the rSPt to On. The REM indicator on the front of the control will turn on. When the control
returns to the HOME position, the displayed SV will be the value supplied from the analog
remote signal. If the analog remote signal fails or goes out of range of the SPL or SPH
settings, the control will revert to the internal SP1 (or #SP1), and flash the error message
CHEC rSPt. If SPLor SPH are set outside of rSCL or rSCH then the error will be
suppressed, and the control will attempt to work with the remote value.
To clear the error message, change rSPt to OFF.

ption 934, 936, Isolated Analog Retransmission.
The analog retransmission option allows the Process Variable or the Set Variable to be
sent as an analog signal to an external device. The signal may be either 0 to 10 VDC
(Option 936) or 0 (or 4) to 20 mADC (Option 934). The output may be changed in the field
from one to the other by the toggle switch located on the top printed circuit board.
Wire the output as shown on page 9.
To set up the analog retransmission, first determine the scale range that the analog signal
will represent. The maximum scale is 9999° , 5530°C, or 9999 counts. In the Secondary
Menu set POL for the scale value that will be represented by the low end of the analog
signal (0 Volts or 0 mA). Set POH for the scale value that will be represented by the high
end of the analog signal (10 Volts or 20 mA).
If you require a suppressed scale or output, use the following equations to determine the
proper settings for POL and POH.
K = (Highest desired scale reading - Lowest desired scale reading) / (Maximum desired
analog signal - Minimum desired analog signal).
POH = ((Maximum possible analog output - Maximum desired analog signal) * K) + Highest
desired analog reading.
POL = Lowest desired scale reading - ((Minimum desired analog output) * K).
Next select whether you want the retransmission signal to follow the Process Variable or
the Set Variable. Usually the Process Variable is sent to recorders or other data
acquisition devices. Usually the Set Variable is sent to other controls to be used as an
analog remote set point. If you want the analog retransmission signal to follow the PV, in
the Secondary Menu set POSr to InP. If you want the analog retransmission signal to
follow the SV, set POSr to SPt.
Operation is automatic. There are no further programming steps required.
