The wiring diagram shows connections for a Type J or K
thermocouple wire via terminals. For a long thermocouple
run, the proper thermocouple extension wire must be
used, and the proper polarity must be maintained. If
these precautions are not observed, the unit may not
meet specifications.
Power and thermocouple wire should not be placed in
the same conduit or wiring trough. However, wires from
several thermocouples may be in the same conduit or
wiring trough.
If shielded thermocouples are used, the shields should
be insulated electrically from the thermocouple wires and
terminated to earth ground.
The unit will read “EEE” for over range conditions, and
“---” for under range conditions.

The figure above illustrates how to wire the relays for the
different power requirements. The relay must have an
external power source for you to be able to control your
device.
If field calibration is required, a two-point calibration
with a millivolt generator can be used. Allow 30 minutes
for the unit to stabilize before calibrating. Calibrate the
low reading by adjusting the zero pot. Enter the second
calibration higher than the first point and adjust the span.
Recall these two points if needed.

Set Point Calibration and Output States

NO
Temperature over
set point, relay not
operated
When the button on the lower left of the unit is pushed in
and held the set point is displayed. As long as the button
is held in the set point is displayed. When the button is
out the temperature at the thermocouple is displayed.
The knob on the lower right is used to change the set
point. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the set point.
Turn the knob counter clockwise to decrease the set
point.
The diagram above shows the output states of the
controller internal relay when the temperature, as seen by
the thermocouple, is above or below the set point. When
the relay is energized the decimal point following the least
significant digit (extreme right) will be illuminated. Make
connections accordingly, observing the power rating of
the contacts. If the thermocouple “opens” the internal
relay will go to its “not operated” state.
NC

NO
Temperature under set
point, relay operated
Solid State Relay Output
When the temperature seen by the thermocouple is
above the set point, there will not be any voltage between
– and + terminals (pin 8 & 6). If the temperature seen
by the thermocouple is below the set point, there will be
12-16 VDC output. This output is capable of providing
30 mA. If an “open” thermocouple condition occurs, the
voltages between pins 8 & 6 will be zero.
Warranty
1. Antunes Controls products are guaranteed to be free
from mechanical and electrical defects for a period of
