1.1 Description
This device can be purchased as a controller, with outputs or as a signal
conditioner.

• The iSeries 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 standard features include three outputs with a choice of relay, SSR, or
dc pulse outputs and isolated analog voltage or current output. Options
include programmable RS-232 or RS-485 serial communication or excitation.
Analog Output is fully scalable and may be configured as retransmission to
follow your display. Universal power supply accepts 90 to 240 Vac. Low voltage
power option accepts 24 Vac or 20 to 36 Vdc.

• The optional Remote Programmer features a large, three color

programmable display with capability to change a color every time the Alarm

2.3 Electrical Installation

2.3.1 Power Connections

Caution: Do not connect power to your device until you have completed all
input and output connections. Failure to do so may result in injury!

Connect the main power connections as shown in the figure below.

* See Specification Section

Figure 2.3 Main Power Connections
Table 2.3 Fuse Requirement (see specifications)
FUSE Connector Output Type For 115Vac For 230Vac DC
FUSE 1 Power N/A 100 mA(T) 63 mA(T) 63 mA(T)
FUSE 2 Power N/A N/A N/A 400 mA(T)

For the low voltage power option, in order to maintain the same degree of
protection as the standard high voltage input power units (90 - 240 Vac),
always use a Safety Agency Approved DC or AC source with the same
Overvoltage Category and pollution degree as the standard AC unit
(90 - 240 Vac).

The Safety European Standard EN61010-1 for measurement, control,and

laboratory equipment requires that fuses must be specified based on
IEC127. This standard specifies for a Time-lag fuse, the letter code “T”.
The above recommended fuses are of the type IEC127-2-sheet III. Be
aware that there are significant differences between the requirements
listed in the UL 248-14/CSA 248.14 and the IEC 127 fuse standards. As a
result, no single fuse can carry all approval listings. A 1.0 Amp IEC fuse is
approximately equivalent to a 1.4 Amp UL/CSA fuse. It is advised to
consult the manufacturer’s data sheets for a cross-reference.

2.3.2 Thermocouple Input

The figure below shows the wiring hookup for any thermocouple type.
For example, for Type K hookup, connect the yellow wire to the "2" terminal and
the red wire to the "1(-)" terminal.

When configuring your controller, select Thermocouple and Thermocouple Type

in the Input Type menu (see Part 3).

R Red Black - Green
S Red Black - Green
B Red Gray - Black

If the input wires of the meter get disconnected or broken, it will display
+OPN “Input (+) Open” message. For safety purpose you may want to
set up your alarm to be triggered when input is open. See Alarm 1 and 2
chapters for details.

The two-wire connection is simplest method, but does not compensate for
lead-wire temperature change and often requires calibration to cancel lead-wire
resistance offset.

The three-wire connection works best with RTD leads closely equal in
resistance. The device measures the RTD, plus upper and lower lead drop
voltage and the subtracts twice the measured drop in the lower supply current
lead producing excellent lead-resistance cancellation for balanced
measurements.

The four-wire RTD hookup is applicable to unbalanced lead resistance and

enables the device to measure and subtract the lead voltage, which produces
the best lead-resistance cancellation.

When configuring your controller, select RTD Type and RTD value in the Input
Type menu (see Part 3).

If the input wires of the meter get disconnected or broken, it will display
+OPN “Input (+) Open” message except in case of 500/1000 Ω 2-wire
RTD. In this case the display shows -OPN “Input (-) Open” message.
For safety purpose you may want to set up your alarm to be triggered
when input is open. See Alarm 1 and 2 chapters for details.

This device has snubber circuits designed to protect the contacts of the
mechanical relays when it switches to inductive loads (i.e. solenoids, relays).
These snubbers are internally connected between the Common (C) and
Normally Open (NO) relay contacts of Output 1 and Output 2.

If you have an inductive load connected between Common (C) and

Normally Closed (NC) contacts of the mechanical relays and you want to
protect them from the rush current during the switching period, you have
to connect an external snubber circuit between Common (C) and
Normally Closed (NC) contacts as indicated in the figure below.

Reading Configuration (If Process was selected)
INPUT/READING (SCALE AND OFFSET) SUBMENU:

Input Voltage or Current can be converted or scaled into values appropriate for
the process or signal being measured. So, a reading may be displayed, for
example, in units of weight or velocity instead of in amperes or volts.

The instrument determines Scale and Offset values based on two user-provided
input values entered with the corresponding readings. Note that “In1” Input 1 and
“In2” Input 2 are represented and entered as a product of the input
voltage/current and the conversion number from the Table 3.1.

The following instructions include details for a specific scenario in which a

4-20 mA input (in the 20 mA Process Mode) is to be represented as a
measurement of 0-100 percent.

Example: RD1 value = 0000.
Press d 19) Display IN2 Input 2 Submenu.
Press d 20) Display shows Input 2 value with 1st digit flashing.
The IN2 value = max. input value * conversion number.
Example: 20(mA) x 500 = 10000 (9999).
Press b & c 21) Use b and c buttons to enter IN2 value.
Press d 22) Display advances to RD2 Reading 2 Submenu.
Press b & c 23) Use b and c buttons to enter RD2 value.
Example: RD2 value = 0100.
Press d 24) Display flashes STRD stored message momentarily and
then advances to ALR1 only, if change was made, otherwise
press d to advance to ALR1 Alarm 1 Menu.

23
Conversion number is a coefficient of conversion between input values
and real full display range (10000 counts, shown as 9999). See Table 3.2
below for proper conversion number.

Table 3.2 Conversion Table

RANGE CONVERSION NUMBER
100 mV 10000 / (100 x 1) = 100
1V 10000 / (1000 x 1) = 10
10 V 10000 / (1000 x 10) = 1
0 -20 mA 10000 / (20 x 1) = 500

Example =
0-1V = 0 - 100.0
In 1 = 0
Rd 1 = 0
Inp 2 = 9999
Rd 2 = 100.0

Press d 6) Display shows STRD stored message momentarily and then
advances to B.TIM Loop Break Time Value Submenu.

Loop Break is an additional safety feature intended to monitor the rate of change of the
process value, while approaching the SP1. It is strictly intended as an additional warning
system, therefore its use is entirely optional. An active Loop Break will cause the Process
Value digits to blink in a rotating pattern. If the process value reaches the set point the
blinking will stop and B.TIM is completed successfully, otherwise BR.AL Break Alarm
warning will flash, and Output 1 will be turned off.

LOOP BREAK TIME VALUE SUBMENU:

Press d 7) Display flashes 1st digit of previous Loop Value.

Press b & c 8) Press b and c buttons to enter a new Loop Value (0 to 99.59).
Press d 9) Display shows STRD stored message momentarily and then
advances to R.ADJ Reading Adjust Submenu.

Loop Break Time Value allows the user to determine the time interval in MM:SS (from
zero to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) that the Process Value changes at least 10 counts
or if the Input Type is either RTD or Thermocouple, the value changes 4° Fahrenheit or
2° Celsius. At the specified time interval, if the process value change is less than the
stated rate, flashing B.TIM will be displayed, the output 1 will be de-energized, and

Setpoint Deviation Submenu, if “enabled”, allows changes to Setpoint 1 to be made
automatically to Setpoint 2. This mode is very helpful if the Process Value changes often.
In Setpoint Deviation Mode, set SP2 a certain number of degrees or counts away from
SP1 - this relation remains fixed when SP1 is changed. For instance: Setting SP1=200
and SP2=20 and enabling SP.DV means that the absolute value of SP2=20. Moving SP1
to 300, the absolute value of SP2 becomes 320.

THERMOCOUPLE FIELD CALIBRATION SUBMENU:

CAUTION: Do not perform the following steps until you fully

understand this entire section.

cause the minimum on the control output to be 1 V and the maximum on the
control output to be 9 V. The same setting on a time proportional output, will
cause 10% duty cycle for the minimum control output and 90% duty cycle for
maximum control output. To disable %LO/HI, set LO to 00 and HI to 99. If %LO/HI
is at other values than the default (%LO = 00, %HI = 99), SOAK is disabled.

*CONTROL TYPE OUTPUT: (Relay, SSR, or Pulse)

Press d 15) Display flashes ON.OF On/Off or PID Proportional, Integral,

Derivative.
Press b 16) Scroll through the available selections: “ON/OFF” or “PID”.
Press d 17) Display flashes STRD stored message momentarily and
then advances to AçTN only, if it was changed, otherwise press
a to advance to AçTN Action Type Submenu.

The ON/OFF control is a coarse way of controlling the process. The “Dead
Band” improves the cycling associated with the On/Off control. The PID control is
best for processes where the set point is continuously changing and/or a tight
control of the process variable is required. PID control requires tuning and
adjustment of the "Proportional", "Integral or Reset" and "Derivative or Rate"
terms by a trial-and-error method. The instrument provides an "Auto Tuning"
feature making the tuning process automatic, possibly optimum.

ACTION TYPE SUBMENU:

The error that results from the measurement of the Process Variable may be
positive or negative since it may be greater or smaller than the Setpoint. If a
positive error should cause the instrument output to increase (i.e. cooling), it would
be called Direct Acting. If a negative error should cause the output to increase
(i.e. heating), it would be called Reverse Acting.

Press d 18) Display flashes DRçT Direct or RVRS Reverse.

Press b 19) Scroll through the available selections: “Direct” or “Reverse”.
Press d 20) Display shows STRD stored message momentarily and then

Press b 22) Scroll through the available selections: “Enable” or “Disable”.
Press d 23) Display shows STRD stored message momentarily and then
advances to ANTL only, if it was changed, otherwise press a to
advance to ANTL Anti Integral Submenu.

If “Enabled”, the controller can determine, by enabling Start PID, the

optimum values for the three adjustments — Proportional, Reset and
Rate corresponding to P, I, and D. These values may be changed once
the Auto Tuning is complete.

If “Disabled” is selected, the user will manually enter these three

adjustment values. If you want the instrument to do the Auto PID and the
P , PI or PID, first select Auto Disable and enter 0000 for unwanted
parameter. i.e. for PI enter 0000 for the rate.

ANTI INTEGRAL SUBMENU:

Press d 24) Display flashes ENBL or DSBL.

Press b 25) Scroll through the available selections: “Enable” or “Disable”.
Press d 26) Display shows STRD stored message momentarily and then
advances to STRT only, if it was changed, otherwise press a to
advance to STRT to Start Auto Tune PID Submenu (If Auto PID
was Enabled).

If Auto PID was disabled display advances to PRoP

Proportional Band Submenu.

If Anti Integral (Anti Windup) Submenu “Enabled”, this feature

allows the error term outside the proportional band to be
calculated and accumulated for integration. This may be an
important feature in applications where fast response time is
desirable.

35
START AUTO TUNE PID:

Press d 27) Display flashes ENBL or DSBL.

Press b 28) Scroll through the available selections: “Enable” or “Disable”.
Press d 29) Display shows STRD stored message momentarily and then

advance to CYCL Cycle Time Submenu.

If “Enabled”, the controller is ready to calculate P, PI or PID parameters.

The instrument performs this by activating the output and observing the
delay and rate at which the Process Value changes. The setpoints must
be at least 18°F or 10°C above the (PV) Process Value in order to
perform Auto Tune, otherwise an error message will be displayed.

To start Auto Tune PlD select PID, enable Auto PID and enable Start PID.
Sometimes Auto PID parameter needs fine tuning i.e. for each 5°F over
shoot increase the Proportional Band (PB) by 15% and for each ±1°F
fluctuation at the Setpoint (SP) increase reset by 20%.

Once started, display shows A.TUN with letters blinking in the rotating
pattern. When auto tune stops, display will show process value. Do not
perform any operations or settings before first stopping Auto Tune. Any
alarms or other output is disabled during Auto Tune.

If “AUTO PID” was “DISABLED”, the display will show the following
three submenus. This allows the user to manually enter values for
Proportional, Reset and Rate terms corresponding to P, I, and D. It also
can be used for Auto PID for disabling unwanted parameter i.e. PI enter
0000 for Rate.
