Again in the 

]

PAn

 group is present the parameter 

AdE

 that 

defines the 3 LEDs shift index (

   

) functioning.

The lighting up of the green LED   (=) indicates that the 
process value is within the range [

SP

 + 

AdE

÷

SP

 - 

AdE

], the 

lighting up of the LED 

 (-) indicates that the process value 

is lower than [

SP

 - 

AdE

] and the lighting up of the LED 

 (+) 

indicates that the process value is higher than [

SP

 + 

AdE

].

5.2  Output Configuration

The instrument outputs can be programmed by entering the 
group of parameters 

]

Out

, where the relative parameters 

o1F

o2F

o3F

 and 

o4F

 (depending on the number of out-

puts available on the instrument) are located.
The outputs can be set for the following functions:

1.rEG

  Main control output;

2.rEG

  Secondary control output;

ALno

  Alarm output normally open (NO);

ALnc

  Alarm output normally closed (NC);

ALni

  Alarm output NC with LED reverse indication;

oFF

  Output deactivated.

The coupling between output-number – alarm-number can 
be made in each alarm group referred to each alarm (

]

AL1

]

AL2

 or 

]

AL3

).

If the instrument has an analogue control output, the type of 
output can be selected using the Aot parameter in the group] 
InP with the following possibilities:

0-20

 0 ÷ 20 mA;

4-20

 4 ÷ 20 mA;

0-10

 0 ÷ 10 V;

2-10

 2 ÷ 10 V.

5.3  Absolute or Differential Temperature 

Controller

Through the 

PrrG

 parameter it is possible to set the process 

variable used by the controller to operate.
In fact the controller can operate considering the process 
variable as the value measured at 

Input 1

 (

Pr1

), the value 

measured at 

Input 2

 (

Pr2

), the difference between the two 

inputs 

Pr1-Pr2

 (

P1-2

) or can consider the difference be-

tween the two inputs 

Pr1-Pr2

 but with a maximum limit and a 

minimum limit for the 

Pr2

 measurement (

P1-L

).

The choices 

PrrG

 = 

P1-2

 or = 

P1-L

 make the controller 

operate as a differential controller.
In these cases the controller acts on the control outputs so it 
keeps the difference 

Pr1-Pr2

 equal to the Set Point value.

The difference between the two modes lies in the fact that 
the 

P1-L

 mode activates a limit in the controller in terms of 

the calculation of the temperature difference according to the 

P2HL

 and 

P2LL

 parameters (both in the 

]

SP

 group) so that:

If 

Pr2 > P2HL

 the process value considered by the controller is 

[

Pr1-P2HL

]

If 

Pr2 < P2HL

 the process value considered by the controller is 

[

Pr1-P2LL

]

When 

P2HL

 and 

P2LL

 thresholds are exceeded by 

Pr2

 tem-

perature, a control takes place as if the 

Pr2

 temperature is 

the value of the limit regardless of the value actually read.
The aim of this function is to limit the differential regulation to 
within a maximum range of the 

Pr2

 measurement.

With the differential control the working mode 

Func

 = 

CooL

 

is used for applications with which the action of the actuator 

reduces the 

Pr1-Pr2

 difference (thus countering the 

Pr1-Pr2

 

difference that naturally tends to increase).
Viceversa the 

Func

 = 

HEAt

 mode is used for applications 

with which the action of the actuator increases the 

Pr1-Pr2

 

difference thus countering the 

Pr1-Pr2

 difference that natu-

rally tends to decrease).
Obviously the 

Neutral Zone

 mode or the 

Double action

 

mode will set 

OFF

 both actions.

5.4  ON/OFF Control (

1.rEG

)

All the parameters referring to the 

ON/OFF

 control are con-

tained in the group 

]

rEG

.

This type of control can be obtained by programming pa-
rameter 

Cont

 = 

On.FS

 or = 

On.FA

 and works on the output 

programmed as 

1.rEG

, depending on the process value set 

with 

PrrG

, on the active Set Point 

SP

, on the functioning 

mode 

Func

 and on the hysteresis 

HSEt

.

The instrument carries out an 

ON/OFF

 control with symmet-

ric hysteresis if 

Cont

 = 

On.FS

 or with asymmetrical hyster-

esis if 

Cont

 = 

On.Fa

The control works in the following way: in the case of reverse 
action, or heating (

FunC

 = 

HEAt

), it deactivates the output, 

when the process value reaches [

SP

 + 

HSEt

] in case of sym-

metrical hysteresis, or [

SP

] in case of asymmetrical hystere-

sis and is then activated again when the process value goes 
below value [

SP

 - 

HSEt

].

Viceversa, in case of direct action, or cooling (

Func

 = 

CooL

), 

it deactivates the output, when the process value reaches  
[

SP

 - 

HSEt

] in case of symmetrical hysteresis, or [

SP

] in case 

of asymmetrical hysteresis and is activated again when the 
process value goes above value [

SP

 + 

HSEt

].
