Using This Manual
Section 3 of the manual will cover the back panel connections and wiring instructions. A quick overview
of how to navigate the PLATINUMTM Series menu structure follows in Section 4. This is followed in
Section 5 by the complete PLATINUMTM Series meter menu tree. Remember, not all commands and
parameters in that menu tree will show up on your unit, as those that are not available with your
configuration are automatically hidden. Repetitive menu structures are highlighted in gray and only
shown once but are used multiple times; examples include scaling process inputs for the different
process input ranges, setting up the data communications protocol for each of the communications
channels, configuration for multiple outputs, etc.
The Reference Section—encompassing Initialization Mode in Section 6, Programming Mode in Section 7,
and Operating Mode in Section 8—will provide more detail on what parameter and command
preferences; such as how they operate, and why to choose a specific value.

Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The PLATINUMTM Series Controller offers unparalleled flexibility in process measurement. While the
controller is extremely powerful and versatile, great care has gone into designing a product that is easy
to set up and use. Automatic hardware configuration recognition eliminates the need for jumpers. The
PLATINUMTM Series Controller displays only the menu items associated with the system’s custom
configuration.
Each unit allows the user to select the input type from 9 thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, and N),
Pt RTDs (100, 500, or 1000 Ω, with a 385, 392, or 3916 curve), thermistors (2250 Ω, 5K Ω, and 10K Ω), DC
voltage, or DC current. The analog voltage inputs may be single ended bipolar, differential absolute or
differential ratiometric, and both voltage, and current are fully scalable using a single point or 10-point
linearization to virtually all engineering units with a selectable decimal point that is perfect for use with
pressure, flow, or other process inputs.
Control is achieved using the PID, on/off, or heat/cool control strategy. PID control can be optimized
with an Autotune feature; and in addition, a fuzzy logic Adaptive Tuning Mode allows the PID algorithm
to be continuously optimized. The instrument offers up to 16 Ramp and Soak segments per Ramp and
Soak program (eight each), with auxiliary event actions available with each segment. Up to 99 Ramp and
Soak programs can be stored, and multiple Ramp and Soak programs can be chained, creating
unmatched ramp and soak programming capability. Multiple Alarms can be configured for above,
below, hi/lo, and band triggering using either absolute or deviation Alarm trigger points.
The PLATINUMTM Series controller features a large, three-color, programmable display with the
capability to change color every time the Alarm is triggered. Various configurations of mechanical relay,
SSR, DC pulse, and isolated or non-isolated analog voltage or current outputs are available. Every unit
comes standard with USB communications for firmware updates, configuration management, and data
transfer. Optional Ethernet and RS-232 / RS-485 Serial communications are also available. The Analog
Output is fully scalable and may be configured as a proportional controller or retransmission to follow
your input signal. The universal power supply accepts 90–240 Vac. The low-voltage power option
accepts 24 Vac or 12–36 Vdc.
Additional features usually found only on more expensive controllers make these the most powerful
products in their class. Some additional standard features are remote Setpoint for cascaded control
setups, High-high/Low-low Alarm functionality, external latch reset, external Ramp and Soak program
initiation, combination Heat/Cool Control Mode, configuration save and transfer, and configuration
password protection.

4.1 Description of Button Actions
The UP button moves up a level in the menu structure. Pressing and holding the UP
button navigates to the top level of any menu (oPER, PRoG, or INIt). This can useful if
you get lost in the menu structure.
The LEFT button moves across a set of menu choices at a given level (up in the Section 4
menu structure tables). When changing numerical settings, press the LEFT button to
make the next digit (one digit to the left) active.
The RIGHT button across a set of menu choices at a given level (down in the Section 4
menu structure tables. The RIGHT button also scrolls numerical values up with overflow
to 0 for the flashing digit selected.
The ENTER button selects a menu item and goes down a level, or it enters a numerical
value or parameter choice.
4.2 Menu Structure
The menu structure of the PLATINUMTM Series is divided into 3 main Level 1 groups, which are
Initialization, Programming, and Operating. They are described in Section 4.3. The complete menu
structure for levels 2 to 8 for each of the three Level 1 groups is detailed in Section 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.
Levels 2 through 8 represent sequentially deeper levels of navigation. Values with a dark box around
them are default values or submenu entry points. Blank lines indicate user-provided information. Some
menu items include links to reference information elsewhere in this user manual. The information in the
Notes column defines each menu choice.
