INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
This device can be purchased as monitor (read process value only) or as
a controller.
• The iSeries controller offers unparalleled flexibility in process measurement.
Each unit allows the user to select the input type, from 10 thermocouple
types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, N and J DIN), Pt RTDs (100, 500 or 1000 Ω,
with either 385 or 392 curve), DC voltage, or DC current. The voltage/current
inputs are fully scalable to virtually all engineering units, with selectable
decimal point, perfect for use with pressure, flow or other process input.
• The temperature control can be achieved by using on/off or PID heat/cool
control strategy. Control can be optimized with an auto tune feature. The
instrument offers a ramp to setpoint with timed soak period before switching
off the output.
• The iSeries device features a large, three color programmable display with
capability to change a color every time the Alarm is triggered. The standard
features include dual outputs with relay, SSR, dc pulse, analog voltage or
current. Options include programmable RS-232 or RS-485 serial
communication and excitation. Analog Output is fully scalable and may be
configured as a proportional controller or retransmission to follow your
display. Universal power supply accepts 90 to 240 Vac. Low voltage power
option accepts 24 Vac or 12 to 36 Vdc.
