Sensor correction function
This corrects the input value from the sensor. When a sensor cannot be set at a location where control
is desired, the sensor measuring temperature may deviate from the temperature in the controlled location.
When controlling with multiple controllers, the accuracy of the sensors has influence on the control.
Therefore, sometimes the measuring temperature (input value) does not concur with the same setting value.
In such case the control can be set at the desired temperature by shifting the input value of the sensors.
Loop break alarm
The alarm will be activated when the process variable (PV) does not rise as much value as the span or
greater within the time it takes to assess the Loop break alarm after the manipulated variable has reached
0% or the output low limit value. When the control action is Direct (Cooling), the alarm acts conversely.
Energized/Deenergized function
[If temperature alarm action Energized is selected]
When the alarm output indicator is lit, the alarm output (between terminal 8 and 9) is conducted (ON).
When the alarm output indicator is unlit, the alarm output is not conducted (OFF).
[If temperature alarm action Deenergized is selected]
When the alarm output indicator is lit, the alarm output (between terminal 8 and 9) is not conducted (OFF).

Name and Description
Control output manipulated variable indication
Press the key for approx. 3 seconds during PV/SV indication mode.
Keep pressing the key until the output manipulated variable shows up, though the main
setting mode appears during the process.
(The control output manipulated variable is indicated on the SV display and the decimal point at
the second digit blinks in 0.5 seconds cycle.)
Pressing the key again, it reverts to the PV/SV mode.
4. Converter function
The converter function of this instrument converts each input (Thermocouple, RTD, DC voltage and
DC current input) value to 4 to 20mA and outputs taking advantage of the control parameter of the controller.
When this instrument is used as a converter, follow the process (1) to (7) described below.
When the process (1) to (7) is finished, this can be used as a converter.
(1): Wire and connect this instrument. (Power, Input and Output)
(2): Turn the power of this instrument ON.
(3): Call the “Auxiliary function setting mode 2” pressing the and key (for approx 3s).
(4): Select the sensor type from “Sensor selection” ( )”.
(5): Set the high limit of the value which is going to be converted from “Scaling high limit setting ( )”.
(6): Set the low limit of the value which is going to be converted from “Scaling low limit setting ( )”.
(7): Select converter ( ) from “Control/ Converter” function selection ( )”.
• Outputs the input from scaling low limit setting value to high limit value in 4 to 20mA.
The ratio of the changing quantity resolution is 1 to 1000 to scaling span.
• When functioning alarm action by Converter function, set the alarm action to Process
alarm action.
If converter function is selected from “Controller/Converter function selection” in auxiliary function
setting mode 2, the parameter below is automatically set. (Table 4.1-1)
But this is applied only to the DC current output type.
(Table 4.1-1)

Main setting Scaling low limit Alarm setting 0
Proportional band setting 100.0% Loop break alarm time setting 0 seconds
Integral time 0 seconds Loop break alarm action span 0
Derivative time 0 seconds Direct/Reverse action selection Direct action
Manual reset setting 0.0
• How to fine-tune DC current output (4 to 20mA)
Carry out zero, span adjustment from zero side several times.
Carry out adjustment set by manual reset.
(1) Input the value so that the same scaling low limit value may be indicated on the PV display.
(2) Adjust the value so that the DC current output value may become 4mA by increasing
and decreasing manual reset value. Output decreases when manual reset value is set
to+ side, on the other hand output increases when it is set to – side.
Carry out adjustment of span in the proportional band
(1) Input the value so that the same scaling high limit value may be indicated on the PV display.
(2) Adjust the value so that the DC current output value may become 20mA by increasing
and decreasing manual reset value. Output decreases when proportional band value
is set to + side, on the other hand output increases when it is set to – side.
Caution
When shifting from converter function to controller function, the control parameter and values set by
converter function are held as they are even if the function is switched to controller function.
So, correct the control parameter and values set by converter function to the value necessary to the
controller function after switching to the controller function.

5. Running
When mounting and wiring to the control panel (DIN rail) are finished, running starts following the next
procedure.
(1) Turn the power supply to the DCL-33A ON.
For approx. 3s after power on, the character of the sensor type and temperature unit are indicated
on the PV display, and the rated maximum value is indicated on the SV display. See [Table 3.1-1].
(If any other value is set at the main setting value high limit setting, SV display indicates it.)
During this time, all outputs and LED indicators are in their OFF status.
After that PV display indicates actual temperature and SV display indicates the main setting value.
(2) Input the setting value.
Input each setting value referring to “3. Operation”.
(3) Turn the load circuit power ON.
Starts control action so as to keep temperature of the controlled object at the main setting value.
6. Other functions
(1) Power failure countermeasure.
Backs up the setting data in non-volatile IC memory.
(2) Self diagnosis
The CPU is monitored by a watchdog timer and when any abnormal status is found on the CPU,
the controller is switched to warm-up status.
(3) Automatic cold junction temperature compensation (Only thermocouple input)
Detects the temperature at the connection terminal between thermocouple and instrument and
keeps it on the same status at which the reference junction is located at 0 (32 ).
(4) Sensor burnout (Burnout)
When thermocouple or RTD input is burnt out, control output is turned OFF (DC current output
type: control output low limit) and “ ” blinks on the PV display.
When DC voltage and DC current input are burnt out, the status is as follows.
When DC current input (4 to 20mA) and DC voltage input (1 to 5V) are burnt out “ ” blinks

8. PID auto-tuning of the DCL-33A
In order to decide each P, I, D value and ARW automatically, this system gives a fluctuation
to the controlled object to get a optimal value.
3 types of fluctuation below are automatically selected.
[ When the difference between setting value and processing temperature is large in rising]
When AT bias is set to 20 ( ), a fluctuation is given at the temperature 20 ( ) lower than the setting value.
[When control is stable]
A fluctuation is given at the setting value.
[ When the difference between the setting value and processing temperature is large when
temperature falls]
When AT bias is set to 20 ( ), a fluctuation is given at the temperature 20 ( ) higher than the setting value.

Digital external setting: Receives digital setting value from the PC-900 series [Option: SVTC]
Select Lock3 from the setting value Lock selection.
Setting instrument number is not required.
When data from PC-900 series exceeds scaling high limit or scaling low
limit setting value, this instrument ignores the value and carries out control
at the scaling high limit or scaling low limit setting value.
When the value is set from SVTC bias setting of DCL-33A, the desired value
is the one that adds SVTC bias value to the received value from PC-900
series by external digital setting.
However, if the added value exceeds scaling high limit setting value or scaling
low limit value of the DCL-33A, it ignores the value and carries out control
at the scaling high limit setting value or scaling low limit setting value.
