Controller N321

2.1. Level 1 - Setpoint Adjustment

In this level only the Setpoint (SP) parameter is available, alternating the name with its respective value. Adjust the desired 

temperature for setpoint by clicking on the 

 and 

 keys.

Level

Function

SP (Set Point)

Temperature adjustment for control OUTPUT 1. SP value is limited to the values programmed in SPL and SPk in the 

programming level (Parameter configuration, level 2).

2.2. Level 2 - Configuration - Parameters configuration Level

Contains the configuration parameters to be defined by the user, according to the system’s requirements.

Use 

 and 

 keys to set the value. The display alternates the parameter name and respective value.

Level

Function

Unt

Temperature Unit: Selects display indication for degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

0

 - Temperature in degrees Celsius

1

 - Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

typ

Input Type: Selects the input sensor type to be connected to the controller. Available only for thermocouple models, al-

lowing selection of types J, K and T.

0

 - Thermocouple type J

1

 - Thermocouple type K

2

 - Thermocouple type T

ofs

Sensor Offset: Offset value to be added to the measured temperature to compensate sensor error.

spl

SP Low Limit: Lower range for SP.  

spl

 must be programmed with a lower value than 

SPH

.

SPH

SP High Limit: Upper range for SP.  

SPH

 must be greater than 

SPL

.

Hy1

OUTPUT 1 Hysteresis: Defines the differential range between the temperature value at which the

OUTPUT 1 is turned on and the value at which it is turned off. (In degrees).

Ac1

Control action for OUTPUT 1:

0

 - Reverse: For heating applications. Outputs turn on when temperature is lower than SP.

1

 - Direct: For cooling applications. Output turns on when temperature is above SP.

of1

 (Off time)

Off time: Defines the minimum off time for control OUTPUT 1. Once OUTPUT 1 is turned off, it remains so for at least the 

time programmed in oft. For thermocouple inputs this parameter is not available. This parameter is intended for refrigera-

tion systems where longer compressor life is desired. For heating systems, program 

of1

 to zero. Value in seconds, 0 to 

999 s.

on1

 (On time)

On time: Defines the minimum on time for control OUTPUT 1. Once turned on, OUTPUT 1 remains so for at least 

the time programmed in 

on1

. For thermocouple inputs this parameter is not available. This parameter is intended for 

refrigeration systems where increased compressor life is desired. For heating systems, program 

on1

 to zero. Value in 

seconds, 0 to 999 s.

dl1

 (Delay 1) Delay time to start control: Upon power-on, control OUTPUT 1 is kept off until the time programmed in

dl1

 is elapsed.  Its usage is intended to prevent multiple compressors to start simultaneouly after the

turn-on of a system with several controllers. Value in seconds, 0 to 250 s.

Add

 (Adress)

Adress: Controllers with the optional RS485 Modbus RTU communication interface have the Add parameter at the 

Configuration level. Set a unique Modbus address for each equipment connected to the network. Address range is from 1 

to 247.
