BULLETIN 0612
IMPORTANT!
Heater voltage rating must be equal to
or greater than the Temperature Controller
output outlet used.
The sensor circuit on all ACE Temperature Controllers
has been isolated from the power input lines in order to
protect the operator from electrical shock due to earth
ground return when handling the sensor assembly. This
also protects the sensitive amplier circuit from burnout
due to the same possible short circuit to ground.
Unfortunately, shock hazard still exists while handling
the output leads when connecting the heater circuits.
It is advisable, therefore, that the power cord be disconnected from the 120v source, or at the very least, the
MAIN POWER SELECTOR SWITCH be in the “OFF”
position during setup of the controller system.
Due to high overall wattage capabilities of the control
ler, the only way to obtain total isolation is to incorporate
a line voltage isolation transformer. This would, however,
prove to be extremely bulky and
expensive.

SAFETY
and ACE Temperature Controllers
We at ACE take pride in producing a reliable,
rugged and precise line of temperature control
instruments. These controllers are designed
and constructed utilizing state-of-the-art com
ponents that are sized for long-term reliability
and safety.
The standard laboratory controller, such as ACE
Models 12102, 12103, 12105, 12106, 12108,
12110, 12125, 12126, 12127 and several of other
manufacturers, has one component — a Solid
State Relay, a Triac or a Mechanical Relay — that
controls the output to the heated medium. If any
of these or one of many auxiliary compo
were to fail and short-out, which is usually
case, thermal runaway will occur, creating, at
the very least, a dangerous situation such as a
re hazard. Therefore, no matter how reliable a
controller might be, it should never be left run
ning unattended for long periods of time; e.g.,
1/2 hour to continuous.
If it is necessary to operate for extended periods
of time, then for SAFETY, a second controller
having ON-OFF output should be utilized. This
secondary controller’s limiting output should be
adjusted by the setpoint to a temperature above
the primary controller’s setpoint (+10°) and the
secondary’s output used as a power source of 120
volts for the primary controller. Thus, using two
controllers with two sensors and two Solid State
nents
the
Relay components greatly reduces the chance of
thermal runaway since both would have to fail.
ACE Controllers can be set to ON-OFF output
by adjusting the proportional band to zero as
described in the operating instructions furnished
with the controllers.
Controllers with one temperature probe sensor
that will protect your heated medium from thermal
runaway are available from ACE. Models 12107,
12111 and 12113 have Alarm HI and Alarm LO
setpoints providing an alarm tracking band of
±15°C (user adjustable) around the setpoint.
These alarm setpoints shut off the output to the
heater by an additional relay in series with the
main control relay. These alarm setpoints, when
properly adjusted, provide over-temperature
protection for a thermal runaway problem. This
-
includes sensor-out-of-medium protection only
after system does reach setpoint.
In addition, these controllers have a rear AL2
output that offers a 120 volt source for powering
a sound device, motors, solenoid valve, etc., all
of which may be utilized to react to a runaway
temperature situation.
We can customize controllers for your needs.
Knowing the potential hazards of thermal runaway, we at ACE have designed the safest and
most reliable temperature controllers available.
WARNING:
or endanger personnel, a second redundant limit controller is recommended
In any critical application where failure could cause product loss
All ACE Temperature Control outputs are rated for resistive loads ONLY.
No transformers or autotransformers can be plugged into these outputs.
Damage to the controller could result.

HELPFUL HINTS
For Better General Laboratory Temperature Control Operation
1. Temperature medium must be stirred or agitated well for
close control of temperatures.
2. Immersion temperature probe must be at least 1" into
medium for proper control.
3. Keep probe plug connectors clean by using ne emery
paper and/or electrical cleaning uid. Make sure plugs are
fully inserted, especially phone jacks.
4. The selected voltage output of the temperature control
ler must
heating element.
5. The average temperature rise-time from starting temperature
to setpoint temperature should be in the 2° to 3°C per minute
range. Methods to achieve reduced overshoot:
a) Use controllers with multiple selection output voltages.
b)
NOT exceed the maximum voltage rating of the
In some situations you can use a line voltage autotransformer to power the input to your temperature controller to
100 volts and even lower without affecting controller per
formance, thereby reducing the voltage to your heater.
WARNING! DO NOT plug autotransformer into
the output of your temperature controller to reduce
voltage output. Repeated proportional switching of
the autotransformer can and will cause damage to
your controller circuitry in most cases.
c) Commercially available solid state line voltage controls
such as ACE Cat. No. 13530-10 can be plugged into the
output of a proportional temperature controller to reduce
power to your heater.
d) Generally, properly sized heaters for the vessel being
heated will normally achieve proper temperature rise time,
such as ACE Instatherm
e) In some instances, trying to heat large vessels at low
temperatures, above yet near room ambient, will neces
sitate using some of the previously mentioned voltage-
or power-reducing methods. Controller Models 12107,
12108, 12110, 12111, 12125, 12126, and 12127 have an
automatic rate circuit which helps regulate rise-time, and
the ramp and soak feature on these controllers can also
help. The factory setting for SP1 output high limit is 68%
for
normal heating conditions. If you encounter a problem
of overshooting the SP1 setpoint or if cycling around the
SP1 setpoint becomes a problem, it is usually due to
over-powered heaters or low setpoint temperatures. To
adjust for this limited problem, reduce the SP1 output high
limit setting (S1OH). See page 31 of the O.E.M. Manual.
Adjust between 68% (factory setting) to 30% for better
overall controller performance if this problem has been
encountered.
A good guideline is to keep the maximum % output to no
more than four times the power % needed to maintain the
setpoint. Estimate % output by the Demand Light
out of the factory-set ten-second cycle time, or see page
25 of the O.E.M. Manual (PCTO)

Please note: Adjustment of (S1OH) could need increas-
ing above 68% for high-temperature use. Contact Ace

-
Glass Electronics Dept. if difculty arises in making these
changes. Remember, regulating the rise-time helps limit
overshoot and reduces temperature differentials across
glass vessel walls, which is good safety practice.
f ) A good practice, especially on initial start-ups, is to set
the setpoint lower than the temperature needed (5° to
25°C less), then increase the setpoint after the lower set
temperature is reached. This helps lessen overshoot,
yet you still get good heat-up rate which is sometimes a
necessity. This practice of an initial lower setpoint is almost
a must with standard proportional controllers, especially
NON-PID units (e.g. 12102, 12103, 12105 and 12106).
6. Use of line lters and surge suppressors to power your
temperature controller is recommended.
7. Keep controller case in a clean, vented, room-ambient
temperature area, if possible.
8.
Properly sized fuses for heater and temperature controller
protection are a must. Very fast acting fuses are supplied
with ACE Controllers and replacements are available
from ACE to protect your equipment investment; see
ACE Temperature Controller Bulletin or contact your ACE
Salesperson. These fuses are higher cost than the regular
blow fuse but they are worth it! Also, when constantly
heating small vessels with less than 10 amperes drain,
a 10 ampere very fast acting fuse would be appropriate.
On most ACE Temperature Controllers
panel fuse would be the one to change from 15 amperes
to 10 ampere value. The 15 ampere is standard since the
majority of heaters used are rated so near 10 amperes
that false blows would occur. The top rear 15 ampere
primary should not be changed.
1
On the ACE Nos. 12107 -20, 12111-15 and 12113 -17
Controllers, the top fuse is the one to change. The bot
tom fuse is a three ampere regular blow alarm output
fuse. Check your controller instructions for the
replacement of the output or secondary fuse
proper fuse for the size of the heater amperes
Since supplying these very fast acting fuses, we have
seen a reduction of approximately 90% in Instatherm heater
burnout normally due to “over-voltaging.” This is a big sav
ings in time, money and product loss.
9. Temperature control units with alarm bands must be set
properly. The 12107, 12111 and 12113 ACE Controllers
automatically make the adjustment of the Alarm setpoints.
Factory set at ±15°C; can be changed when necessary.
10. Allow sufcient time for Auto Tune type Controllers to tune
themselves by doing a trial run or by having a Setpoint
perature 25°C or more above the starting temperature.
