1.

 

Press and hold any one of the keys on the front panel until the main menu is 
displayed. 

 
2.

 

Continue to set the settings from “Reverse Acting Outputs” to “Zone 1 Choose 
Input Type” as appropriate. 

 
3.

 

Set “Zone 1 Trip 1:” to 85º F, then press Enter. 

 
4.

 

Set “Zone 1 Trip 2: Trip Over or Under” to “Over”, then press Enter. 

 
5.

 

Set “Zone 1 Trip 1: Sound Alarm on trip” to “Yes”, then press Enter. 

 
6.

 

Set “Zone 1 Trip 1: Outputs to trip:” to “Output1:Y” and the other outputs leave as 
N, then press Enter. 

 
7.

 

Set “Untrip Outputs by” to “Pressing Enter”, then press Enter. 

 
8.

 

Set “Zone 1 Trip 1: Set Hysteresis:” to “5”, then press Enter. 

 
9.

 

The display will read “Zone 1 Trip 2:” set to “Off”.   

 
10.

 

Press & hold Enter until CX224 re-initializes. 

 
11.

 

The current temp reading will now be displayed on the controller for Zone 1. 

 
12.

 

Heat sensor until alarm and output trip.   

 
13.

 

Press any button but Enter to silence the alarm. 

 
14.

 

Press Enter and output will untrip.  If the output temperature after pressing Enter is 
still high alarm will not resound or retrip until temp falls below set hysteresis band.  
The output will also untrip regardless of pressing Enter if temp falls below 80º F, 
the hysteresis band is still in effect with the “Pressing Enter” selection. 


You have now configured Zone 1 to trip on an over temp condition using “Enter” to 
untrip.  This means the controller will trip the outputs when the sensor reads a value of 
85º F or higher and will not untrip unless Enter is pressed or the temp falls below 80º F. 

 

Example 6: Over Temp Operation with Manual Reset

Press and hold any one of the keys on the front panel until the main menu is 
displayed. 

2.

 

Continue to set the settings from “Reverse Acting Outputs” to “Zone 1 Choose 
Input Type” as appropriate.
