8.1 

CONTROLLER ISSUES 

Wiring errors and improper programming represent most of the problems presented when using the controller. A final review can avoid 
wasted time and losses. 

The device has an alarm function, called 

Input Error

, which is used to report specific errors at the input. In the 

INPUT ERROR TYPES 

section you will find a table with a description of the problems and the messages shown in the device display. 

Other error messages displayed by the controller indicate internal damage that signals the need to send the equipment in for maintenance. 
When contacting the manufacturer, enter the serial number, which you can find by accessing the Calibration Cycle (

CFG 

>> 

CALIB

) and 

then the parameters Serial Number High (

SnH

) and Serial Number Low (

SnL

). 

 

8.2 

INPUT CALIBRATION 

The input types leave the factory calibrated. Recalibration is not recommended for inexperienced operators. If it is necessary to 
recalibrate an input, proceed as follows: 

 

In the Sensor Type (

TYPE

) parameter, present in the Configuration (

Cfg

) >> Input (

IN

) cycle, set the type of input to be calibrated. 

 

In parameters 

IN.LL 

and 

IN.HL 

of the Input Cycle (

CFG 

>> 

IN

), use the 

 

and 

 

keys to program the lower and upper display 

limits for the limits of the selected input type (Parameters shown only for linear inputs). 

 

Apply to the input terminals a signal corresponding to an indication value slightly above the lower limit. 

 

In the

in.LC 

parameter of the Calibration Cycle (

CFG 

>> 

CALIB 

>> 

in.LC

), use the 

 

and 

 

keys to make the display indicate the 

expected value for the applied signal. Next, press the     key. 

 

Apply a signal that corresponds to a value slightly lower than the upper display limit. 

 

In the 

in.HC 

parameter of the Calibration Cycle (

CFG 

>> 

CALIB 

>> 

in.HC

), use the 

 

and 

 

keys to make the display indicate the 

expected value for the applied signal. 

 

Check the quality of the calibration. If it is not adequate, repeat the procedure. 

Note: 

When checking the controller, make sure that the Pt100 excitation current required by the calibrator used is compatible with the 

Pt100 excitation current used in the device: 0.170 mA.
