The power requirements are 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 10 VA max. Do not switch power
supplies without first disconnecting the power supply.
Follow the operating procedures and precautionsin the manual to avoid fire, shock, damage to the unit,
or injury. Follow the operations and mounting directions indicated in thismanual.
Always create a ground connection where indicated, however do not ground to gas pipes,
water pipes, lightening rods, or other potentially hazardous metal objects.
Do not apply power to the unit untilall connections have been made.
Do not cover the venting holes in the rear of the unit.
!
CAUTION
Operational Environment Precautions

This parameter sets the display temperature unit for ºC or ºF.
Its default selection is ºC.
Refer to Table 1 when changing the temperature unit for the temperature inputrange.
This parameter sets the high limit of the temperature display range (maximum temperature
displayed). For mV and V inputs, this sets the value of the high input of the input scale
defined in In.SH.
This parameter sets the low limit of the temperature display range (minimum temperature
displayed). For mV and V inputs, this sets the low input of the input scale defined in In.SL.
This parameter sets the position of the decimal point for mV or V inputs. The position of
the decimal point can be set as 9999, 999.9, 99.99, or 9.999. Its default set value is 1.
This parameter sets the high limit of the mV or V display scale. This value will be
displayed when the input is set to the high input established in In.rH.
Its default value is 100.0.
This parameter sets the low limit of the mV or V display scale. This value will be displayed
when the input is set to the lowinputestablished in In.rL.
Its default value is 0.0.
This parameter sets the PV filter for stabilization from electromagnetic noise and
interference. This will effect the rate of change of the PV display value. Its default setting
is OFF, and can be set from 1 to 120 seconds.
This parameter to establishes PV behavior when an open input sensor is detected. When
BSL is set to UP, the PV operates as if at the high input range. When BSL is set to
DOWN, the PV operates as if at the low input range. Its default setting is UP. In the case
of mV or V inputs, the default setting is OFF. An open sensor check isnot performed in 10
V, 20 mV, or 100 mV input settings.
PV
This parameter determines if RJC for thermocouple inputs is used. RJC can be turned
on or off. Its default setting is ON.
This parameter sets where the PV bias points occur. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 for further
information about input bias operation.
This parameter sets the bias value at the corresponding bias point inputvalues. These
parameters establish the value of the offset at each of the defined BSP1 -BSP3 points.
See Fig 1 and Fig 2 for further information about input bias operation.

There are two types of engineering units values used in the setting of parameters, absolute
engineering units (AEU) and general engineering units (GEU). An AEU parameter is set using an
absolute value engineering unit that represents a specific point, such as a specific temperature or
voltage level. An GEU parameter is set using engineering units, however it is a general value, and not
tied to any input or output level.
For example: When establishing input bias, parameter BSP1 setsthe specific PV value where bias
point one will occur. This parameter has a unit designation of AEU. BS1, the amount of offset at BSP1
is set in engineering units, however this parameter occurs at whatever BSP1 is set to, and therefore
does not have an absolute settingrelated to any input or output, it is just the amount of offset at where
BSP1 occurs. While one is related to an absolute input value,and the otherstand alone value, both are
set as engineering units, such as BSP1 set as 100ºC and BS1 set as 3ºC.

5.2 Control Group (G.CTL)
Press SET/ENT key to select control group. (Refer to parameter map in section 3.)
PV
Turning ON this parameter locks all settings from being changed. This applies to the
operation display functions, such as changing the set point, as well as setting group
parameters. If ON, only the LOCK parameter may be changed. The default setting isOFF.
PV
PV This parameter displays the lowest input value that has occurred. It stores this information
until the unit is turned off. The digital input option can be used to reset the minimum input
value stored by this parameter.
PV This parameter displays the highest input value that has occurred. This information is
stored in memory until the unit is turned off. The digital input option can be usedtoreset
the maximum input value stored bythis parameter.
This parameter establishes the user screens for viewing, confirmation, and setup of
commonly used parameters from the operation display. To add the parameter to the
operation display, enter the corresponding number for the parameter from the Tableof D-
Registers as either US1 or US2. The default settings are OFF.

This parameter establishes the operation of the digital input (DI) external contacts. The
digital input operating configurations are shown in Table 2: DI Operation. This feature is
only valid for models with digital inputs.

This parameter sets the high limit of the sensor input in the PV display. The PV value will
not display higher than this limit, however the control functions will operate based on the
actual input value.
PV
This parameter sets the low limit of the sensor input in the PV display. The PV value will
not display lower than this limit, however the control functions will operate based on the
actual input value.
PV
This parameter establishes the password for the controller. This password must be
entered at the PWD screen before accessing the control group (G.CTL) or it will not
access the setting groups after the PWD prompt. The default setting is "0". See the
parameter map in section 3 for the location of the PWD prompt in the group menus.
PV
This parameter resets the input, alarm, and control parameters to their factory settings.
To reset the controller, set this parameter to ON. After reset, it will return to the OFF
setting.
Be sure not to forget the password once it has been set. If the password is forgotten, contact
technical support as listed on the back of this manual.
!
CAUTION
PV
Most parameters will be reset to their default settings when the controller is initialized. Note the
current settings before this is done so they can easily be restored after controller initialization.
