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

OUTPUTS 

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

the loaded optional features. The output channels are user 

configurable as 

Control Output

Alarm 1 Outpu

t, 

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 MODE 

The controller can operate in two different manners: Automatic mode 

or Manual mode. In automatic mode (

auto

) the controller defines the 

amount of power to be applied on the 

process

, based on defined 

parameters (SP, PID, etc.). In the manual mode (

MaN

) the user 

himself defines this amount of power. The parameter 

Ctrl

 defines 

the control mode to be adopted.
