1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference. Figure 1 System components
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their expense. The following
techniques can be used to reduce interference problems:

1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or

is not the source of the interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device
experiencing interference, connect the equipment to a different
outlet.

set to their default values and the controller is powered on. In both
cases, the controller first displays the language, date and time edit
screens. After the language, date and time entries are accepted, the
controller performs a device scan. Refer to Connect a digital sc sensor
on page 18 for instructions about how to scan for devices when the
controller is already powered on.
Controller enclosure
The controller enclosure is NEMA 4X/IP66-rated and has a corrosion-
resistant finish designed to withstand corrosive environmental
constituents such as salt spray and hydrogen sulfide. Protection against
environmental damage is strongly recommended for outdoor use.
Note: Units that have the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certification are intended
for indoor use only and do not have a NEMA 4X/IP66 rating.
Controller mounting options
The controller can be mounted to a panel, to a wall or to a vertical or
horizontal pipe. A neoprene sealing gasket is included and can be used
to reduce vibration. The gasket can be used as a template for panel
mounting before the inner gasket component is separated.

Figure 6 Top and bottom views High-voltage barrier
High-voltage wiring for the controller is located behind the high-voltage
barrier in the controller enclosure. The barrier must remain in place
except when installing modules or when a qualified installation
technician is wiring for power, alarms, outputs or relays. Do not remove
the barrier while power is applied to the controller.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) considerations

NOTICE
Potential Instrument Damage. Delicate internal electronic components
can be damaged by static electricity, resulting in degraded
performance or eventual failure.

Refer to the steps in this procedure to prevent ESD damage to the

instrument:

• Touch an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassis of an

instrument, a metal conduit or pipe to discharge static electricity from
the body.
• Avoid excessive movement. Transport static-sensitive components in
anti-static containers or packages.
• Wear a wrist strap connected by a wire to earth ground.
• Work in a static-safe area with anti-static floor pads and work bench
pads.

Option Description

Set mode Auto—the relay output works as a PID controller.

Manual—the signal is controlled by the user through manual
adjustment of the % change value. This option is shown as
Manual Output after the manual set mode is selected.

Phase Reverses the leading sign of the control deviation for the PID
controller (default: Reverse). The phase selects whether the
relay will operate at the first part of a cycle (direct phase) or
the second part (reverse phase).

Set setpoint Creates a setpoint value.

Dead zone The range above and below the setpoint. In this set range, the
PID controller does not take action to change the Pulse Width
Modulation On/Off Ratio output signal until the limits of the
dead zone are reached.

Period Sets the cycle duration of the PWM output signal (default:

Integral Sets the integral part of the PID controller (default:

output signal. The output signal increases linearly if the
control deviation is constant. The integration part responds
slower than the proportional part and can completely
compensate disturbances. The higher the integration part, the
slower it responds. If the integration part is set too low, it starts
to oscillate.

Set setpoint Sets the process value which is controlled by the PID
controller.

Dead zone In this set range, the PID controller does not take action to
change the output frequency until within the limits of the dead
zone.

Pulse width Sets the cycle duration (0-600 seconds) of the PWM output
signal. (default: 0.5 seconds) The cycle duration is equal to
