INSTALLATION
Insert the controller through a hole measuring 71x29 mm.
Make sure that electrical connections comply with the paragraph “wiring diagrams”. To reduce the effects of electromagnetic
disturbance, keep the sensor and signal cables well separate from the power wires.
Fix the controller to the panel by means of the suitable clips, by pressingly gently; if fi tted, check that the rubber gasket
adheres to the panel perfectly, in order to prevent debris and moisture infi ltration to the back of the instrument.
Place the probe T1 inside the room in a point that truly represents the temperature of the stored product.
OPERATION
DISPLAY
During normal operation, the display shows either the temperature measured or one of the following indications:
OFF
Controller in stand-by
E1
In tuning: timeout1 error
OR
Probe T1 overrange or failure
E2
In tuning: timeout2 error
TUN / 5.4
Controller in autotuning
E3
In tuning: overrange error
SETPOINT (display and modifi cation of desired temperature value)
press button
for at least half second, to display the setpoint value.
By keeping button
pressed, use button
or
to set the desired value (adjustment is within the minimum
SPL
and the
maximum
SPH
limit).
When button
is released, the new value is stored.
STAND-BY
Button
, when pressed for 3 seconds, allows the controller to be put on a standby or output control to be resumed (with
SB
=YES only).
CONTROLLER AUTOTUNING IN PID MODE
Before starting
Adjust the setpoint
1SP
to the desired value.
Set
1Y
=PID.
Make sure that the
1PB
value matches the desired control mode (
1PB
<0 for heating;
1PB
>0 for refrigeration).
Start autotuning
Keep buttons
+
pressed for 3 seconds.
1CT
blinks on the display.
With +
or
set the cycle time in order to defi ne the dynamic of the process to be controlled.
To start autotuning press
+
or wait for 30 seconds. To abort the autotuning function, press
X
.
During autotuning
During the entire autotuning phase, the display alternates
with the actual temperature measured.
In case of power failure, when power is resumed, after the initial autotest phase, the controller resumes the autotuning
function.
To abort the autotuning, without modifying the previous control parameters, keep button
X
pressed for 3 seconds.
After the autotuning has taken place successfully, the controller updates the control parameters and start to control.
Errors
If the autotuning function failed, the display shows an error code:
E1 timeout1 error: the controller could not bring the temperature within the proportional band. Increase
1SP
in case of
heating control, vice versa, decrease
1SP
in case of refrigerating control and re-start the process.
E2 timeout2 error: the autotuning has not ended within the maximum time allowed (1000 cycle times). Re-start the autotuning
process and set a longer cycle time
1CT
.
E3 temperature overrange: check that the error was not caused by a probe malfunction, then decrease
1SP
in case of heating
control, vice versa increase
1SP
in case of refrigerating control and then re-start the process.
To eliminate the error indication and return to the normal mode, press button
X
.
Control improvement
To reduce overshoot, reduce the integral action reset
1AR
.
To increase the response speed of the system, reduce the proportional band
1PB
. Caution: doing this makes the system less
stable.
To reduce swings in steady-state temperature, increase the integral action time
1IT
; system stability is thus increased,
although its response speed is decreased.
To increase the speed of response to the variations in temperature, increase the derivative action time
1DT
. Caution: a high
value makes the system sensitive to small variations and it may be a source of instability.
RECALIBRATION
Have a precision reference thermometer or a calibrator to hand.
Ensure that
OS1
=0 and
SIM
=0.
Switch the controller off then on again.
During the auto-test phase, press buttons
X
+
, and keep them pressed till the controller shows
0AD
.
With buttons
and
select
0AD
or
SAD
:
0AD
allows a calibration of 0, inserting a constant correction over the whole
scale of measurement.
SAD
allows a calibration of the top part of the measurement scale with a proportional correction
between the calibration point and 0.
Press to display the value and then use
+
or
to make the read value coincide with the value measured by the
reference instrument.
Exit from calibration by pressing button
X
.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Setup menu is accessed by pressing buttons +
X
for 5 seconds.
With button
or
select the parameter to be modifi ed.
Press button
to display the value.
By keeping button
pressed, use button
or
to set the desired value.
When button
is released, the newly programmed value is stored and the following parameter is displayed.
To exit from the setup, press button
X
or wait for 30 seconds.

With

are used.
With

be used.
1HY
-19.9…19.9°C Thermostat differential [control with hysteresis].
Set
1HY
on a value greater than zero to make the output work in refrigerating mode, vice versa set on a value lower
than zero to make the output work in heating mode. With
1HY

1PB
-19.9…19.9°C Proportional band [PID control].
Set
1PB
on a value greater than zero to make the output work
in refrigerating mode, vice versa set on a value lower than
zero to make the output work in heating mode. With
1PB
= 0
the output is always off.
With a proportional controller, the temperature is controlled
by varying the time of activation of the output. The nearer the
temperature to set point, the less time of activation. A small
proportional band increases the promptness of response
of the system to temperature variations, but tends to make
it less stable. A purely proportional control stabilises the
temperature within the proportional band but does not cancel
the deviation from the set point.
1IT
0…999s
Integral action time [PID control].
The steady-state error is cancelled by inserting an
integral action into the control system. The integral action
time, determines the speed with which the steady-state
temperature is achieved, but a high speed (
1IT
low) may be
the cause of overshoot and instability in the response. With
1IT
= 0 the integral control is disabled.
1DT
0…999s
Derivative action time [PID control].
Response overshoot in a system controlled by a Proportional-
Derivative controller may be reduced by inserting a derivative
action in the control. A high derivative action (1
DT
high)
makes the system very sensitive to small temperature
variations and causes instability. With
1DT
= 0 the derivative
control is disabled.
1AR
0…100%
Reset of integral action time referred to
1PB
[PID control].
Decreasing the parameter
1AR
reduces the integral control action zone, and consequently the overshoot (see figure
on paragraph
1IT
).
1CT
0…255s
Cycle time.
In the ON/OFF control (
1Y
=HY), after the output has switched on or off, it will remain in the new state for a minimum
time of
1CT
seconds, regardless of the temperature value.
In the PID control (
1Y
=PID), the cycle time is the period of time in which the output completes a cycle (Time ON +
Time OFF). The faster the system to be controlled reacts to temperature changes, the smaller the cycle time should
be, in order to obtain a greater temperature stability and less sensitivity to load variations.
