1 - INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION 

 
1.1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
 
ELK  38  is  a  “single  loop”  digital  microprocessor-based  controller, 
with  ON/OFF,  Neutral  Zone  ON/OFF,  PID  single  action,  PID  dual 
action  (direct  and  reverse)  control  and  with  AUTO-TUNING  FAST 
function,  SELF-TUNING  function  and  automatic  calculation  of  the 
FUZZY OVERSHOOT CONTROL parameter for PID control. 
The PID control has a particular algorithm with TWO DEGREES OF 
FREEDOM 
that optimises the instrument’s features independently in 
the event of process disturbance and Set Point variations. 
The  process  value  is  visualized  on  4  red  displays,  while  the  output 
status is indicated by 2 LED displays. 
The  instrument  is  equipped  with  a  3  LED  programmable  shift 
indexes . 
The  instrument  provides  for  the  storage  of  4  Set  Points  and  can 
have up to 2 outputs: relay type or can drive solid state relays type 
(SSR). 
Depending on the model required the input accept: 
C:  Thermocouples  temperature  probes  (J,K,S  and  ELCO  IRS 
Infrared  sensors),  mV  signals  (0..50/60  mV,  12..60  mV), 
Thermoresistances PT100.
