SAFETY ALERTS 

The symbols below are used on the equipment and throughout this 

document to draw the user’s attention to important operational and 

safety information. 

 

 

CAUTION: 

Read the manual thoroughly 

before installing and operating 

the equipment. 

CAUTION OR DANGER: 

Electrical shock hazard 

All safety related instructions that appear in the manual must be 

observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either 

the instrument or the system. If the instrument is used in a manner not 

specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the 

equipment may be impaired. 

INSTALLATION / CONNECTIONS 

The controller must be fastened on a panel, following the sequence 

of steps described below: 

 

Prepare a panel cut-out according Specifications; 

 

Remove the mounting clamps from the controller; 

 

Insert the controller into the panel cut-out; 

 

Slide the mounting clamp from the rear to a firm grip at the panel. 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION  

 

All electrical connections are made to the screw terminals at the 

rear of the controller. 

 

To minimize the pick-up of electrical noise, the low voltage DC 

connections and the sensor input wiring should be routed away 

from high-current power conductors. If this is impractical, use 

shielded cables. In general, keep cable lengths to a minimum. 

 

All electronic instruments must be powered by a clean mains 

supply, proper for instrumentation.  

 

It is strongly recommended to apply RC'S FILTERS (noise 

suppressor) to contactor coils, solenoids, etc. In any application it 

is essential to consider what can happen when any part of the 

system fails. The controller features by themselves cannot assure 

total protection.

Table 01 – Input types 

OUTPUTS 
The controller offers two, three or four output channels, depending on 

the loaded optional features. The output channels are user 

configurable as Control OutputAlarm 1 Output, Alarm 2 Output

Alarm 1 OR Alarm 2 Output  and  LBD (Loop Break Detect) 

Output
OUT1 -  Logical pulse, 5 Vdc / 25 mA, available at terminals 4 and 5. 
OUT2 -  Relay SPST-NA. Available at terminals 6 and 7. 
OUT3 -  Relay SPST-NA. Available at terminals 13 and 14. 
OUT4 -  Relay SPDT, available at terminals 10, 11 and 12. 
CONTROL OUTPUT 
The control strategy can be ON/OFF (when 

PB

 = 0.0) or PID. The 

PID parameters can be automatically determined enabling the auto-

tuning function (

ATvN

).
