ProVU4 Controller, Profiler & Recorder/Controller - Product Manual
Page 14 Introduction 59407, Issue 3 – May 2011
1 Introduction
This product is a 1/4DIN size (96 x 96mm front) microprocessor based graphical process
controller, featuring a 160 x 80 pixel, monochrome LCD with a dual colour (red/green)
backlight. It can control process variables from a variety of sources such as temperature,
pressure, flow and level.
The operating voltage is either 100-240V at 50/60 Hz or 24V-48V AC/DC depending on the
model purchased. Optional features include a USB interface, RS485 or Ethernet
communications, profile controlling and data recording. Non-volatile memory protects against
data or configuration loss during power outages. If the unit is left un-powered, a lithium
battery powers the data recorder’s real-time clock for a minimum of one year.
The USB Interface option allows uploading or downloading instrument configuration settings
to/from a USB memory stick, for easy configuration of multiple instruments or transfer to/from
the PC configuration software. If the Data Recorder of Profiler options are fitted, recordings
and profile information can also be transferred via the memory stick.
The Data Recorder option allows the user to make recordings of the process over time.
Recordings can be transferred to a memory stick using the USB Port or downloaded using
one of the communications options.
The Profiler option allows the user to predefine up 255 segments, shared amongst up to 64
Setpoint Profiles. These control the setpoint level over time, increasing, decreasing or
holding its value as required. When combined with the real-time clock of the Data Recorder
option, the profiling capabilities are expanded to allow automatic program start at a defined
time and day.
Inputs are user configurable for thermocouple and RTD probes, as well as linear process
signal types such as mVDC, VDC or mADC. Multipoint scaling can compensate for non-
linear signals. Output options include relays, SSR drivers, triacs or linear mV/voltage
modules. These can be used for process control, alarms or retransmission of the process
variable or setpoint to external devices. Transmitter Power Supply options can provide an
unregulated 24V DC (22mA) auxiliary output voltage, or a 0 to 10VDC stabilised excitation
for external signal transmitters.
Alarm indication is standard on all instruments; up to five alarms can be defined. Alarms may
be set as process high or low, deviation (active above or below controller setpoint), band
(active both above and below setpoint), rate of input change, control loop or signal break
types. Alarm status can be indicated by lighting an LED, changing the display backlight
colour or viewing the alarm status screen. These alarms can be linked to any suitable output.
The controller can be programmed for on-off, time proportioning, or current proportioning
control implementations, depending on the output modules fitted, and feature manual or
automatic tuning of the PID parameters. A secondary control output is available when
additional output modules are fitted. Optional analogue Remote Setpoint inputs can be
included. Configuration of the major settings is made easy by a Setup Wizard that runs
automatically at first ever power-up or whenever option modules have been changed. Access
to the full range of parameters is via a simple menu driven front panel interface, or the PC
based configuration software.

2 Installation
Unpacking
1. Remove the product from its packing. Retain the packing for future use, in case it is
necessary to transport the instrument to a different site or to return it to the supplier for
repair/testing.
2. The instrument is supplied with a panel gasket and push-fit fixing strap. Concise manual(s)
are supplied with the instrument, in one or more languages. Examine the delivered items
for damage or defects. If any are found, contact your supplier immediately.
Installation
CAUTION:
Installation should be only performed by technically competent personnel. It is the
responsibility of the installing engineer to ensure that the configuration is safe.
Local Regulations regarding electrical installation & safety must be observed (e.g.
US National Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian Electrical Code).
Figure 1. Main dimensions
Panel-Mounting
The mounting panel must be rigid and may be up to 6.0mm (0.25 inches) thick. The cut-out
size is:
92mm x 92mm (+0.5mm / -0.0mm).

ProVU4 Controller, Profiler & Recorder/Controller - Product Manual
Page 16 Installation 59407, Issue 3 – May 2011
Instruments may be mounted side-by-side in a multiple installation, but instrument to panel
moisture and dust sealing will be compromised. Allow a 20mm gap above, below and behind
the instrument for ventilation. The cut-out width (for ninstruments) is:
(96n- 4) mm or (3.78n- 0.16) inches
If panel sealing must be maintained, mount each instrument into an individual cut-out with
6mm or more clearance between the edges of the holes.
Note:
The mounting clamp tongues may engage the ratchets either on the sides or the
top/bottom faces of the Instrument housing. When installing several Instruments side-by-
side in one cut-out, use the ratchets on the top/bottom faces.
CAUTION:
Ensure the inside of the panel remains within the instrument operating temperature
and that there is adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
Gasket
Mounting Panel
Clamp
Ratchets
Instrument
Housing
Slide mounting clamp over
the instrument housing
towards rear face of
mounting panel until the
tongues engage in ratchets
and instrument is clamped in
position.
Hold instrument firmly in
position (apply pressure to
bezel only)
Figure 2. Panel-Mounting the instrument
CAUTION:
Do not remove the panel gasket, as this may result in inadequate clamping and
sealing of the instrument to the panel.
Once the instrument is installed in its mounting panel, it may be subsequently removed from
it’s housing, if necessary, as described in the Fitting and Removing Option Modules section.
Cleaning
Clean the front panel by washing with warm soapy water and dry immediately If the USB
option is fitted, close the USB port cover before cleaning.

Note:
Modules can be either pre-installed at the time of manufacture, or retrofitted in the field.
CAUTION:
Plastic pegs prevent fitting of older non-reinforced single relay modules (Board
Identification Numbers 637/01 and 638/01). Fitting the older relay modules reduces
the isolation rating to Basic 240V Isolation and is therefore not recommended.
Remove this peg when fitting Dual Relay Modules.
Note:
All dual relay modules have reinforced isolation.

Preparing to Install or Remove Options Modules
CAUTION:
Before removing the instrument from it’s housing, ensure that all power has been
removed from the rear terminals. Modules / boards should only be replaced by a
trained technician.
1. Remove the instrument from its housing by gripping the edges of the front panel (there is a
finger grip on each edge) and pull the instrument forwards. This will release the instrument
from the rear connectors in the housing and will give access to the boards.
2. Take note of the orientation of the instrument for subsequent replacement into the
housing. The positions of the boards in the instrument are shown above.

Removing/Replacing Option Modules
1. To remove or replace modules in Option Slots 1, 2, 3, A or B, it is necessary to detach the
Power Supply and Input boards from the front panel by lifting first the upper and then
lower mounting struts.
2. Remove or fit the modules to the connectors on the Power Supply and Input boards. The
location of the connectors is shown below. Plastic pegs prevent fitting of older non-
reinforced single relay modules – Remove the peg to fit dual relay modules
3. Assemble the Power Supply and Input boards together. Tongues on each option module
locate into a slots cut into the main boards, opposite each of the connectors. Hold the
Power and Input boards together and relocate them back on their mounting struts.
4. Remove or replace the Slot C and 4 modules as required.
5. Push the boards forward to ensure correct connection to the front Display/CPU board.
CAUTION:
Check for correct orientation of the modules and that all pins are located correctly.
