NOTICE
Before starting
Before switching on, make sure that the device was stored at the specified ambi-
ent temperature (+1... +50 °C) for at least 30 minutes.
The Control mode is activated in 1-2 sec after powering up. In this mode the main func-
tions can be executed (see 1.1). The firmware version of the device and the number of
erroneous channel (if exists) are briefly displayed on the Z1 display. Then the measured
value of the current channel is displayed. The functions of displays are described in the
Table 5.1.
The output state of the control channel is changed in accordance with the set parameters.
If the connected output is on, the LED OUT1 lights and the channel number is displayed
on Z4.
The setpoint
C.SP
can be changed by user during operation within the range
±
C.SP.o
(PL-2 group). If
C.SP
is set to 150°C and
C.SP.o
is set to 50°C, the user can change the
setpoint from 100°C to 200°C without using the Configuration mode. Press
to activate
the manual setpoint correction when the channel is displayed. Blinking of Z2 indicates
that the manual setpoint correction is active.
Press
to increase and
decrease the least digit of the setpoint value by 1. Holding
one of this buttons for more than 3 sec activates the ramp function. Press
to save the
new setpoint. Z2 stops blinking if the saving is successful. New setpoint value will be
used immediately after saving to non-volatile memory.
Each control channel can be switched to manual control by function keys if the parameter
bL.Ar
(PL-0)
“Manual mode lock” is set to OFF.
To activate manual control press
. When it is active, Z4 is blinking and the output re-
tains its state. Press
or
to switch on or off, LED OUT1 will indicate the output
state.
►
NOTICE
While the channel is in manual control mode, every command will be implemented
immediately, independently from logic unit status, until the mode is cancelled.
Press
or
to cancel manual control.
►
NOTICE
Manual control cannot be fully realized if in the configuration one output is con-
nected to several LU. In this case each LU can switch the output. Manually disa-
bled output will be immediately enabled by another
“busy” LU.

Alarm
7.1.1
Sensor error
The device monitors the integrity of the transmitters connected to the inputs and indicates
a sensor error.
7.1.2
Loop Break Alarm (LBA)
The loop break alarm is only available if the Logic unit function (parameter
AL.t
, PL-2) is
set to 1 or 2 (Heating or Cooling).
With a loop break alarm, there is assumed to be an error in the control loop if the control
deviation is not reduced by at least the value set in the
“LBA detection band” (
