Precaution
DANGER! Caution! Electric Shock!
DTE is an OPEN-TYPE device and therefore should be installed in an enclosure free of airborne dust, humidity, electric shock and vibration.
The enclosure should prevent non-maintenance staff from operating the device (e.g. key or specific tools are required for opening the
enclosure) in case danger and damage on the device may occur.
WARNING!
1. Prevent dust or metallic debris from falling into the device and cause malfunctions. DO NOT modify or uninstall the circuit board of DTE
without being permitted. DO NOT use empty terminals.
2. Keep away from high-voltage and high-frequency environment during the installation in case of interference. Prevent using the device in
premises which contain:
(a) dust or corrosive gas; (b) high humidity and high radiation; (c) shock and vibration.
3. The power has to be switched off when wiring or changing the temperature sensor.
4. When installing the circuit board of the accessory, please make sure the power of the main unit is switched off and insert the accessory
into the correct slot on the main unit.
5. Make sure to use compensation wire which matches the thermocouple or platinum resistance when extending or connecting the
thermocouple or platinum resistance.
6. Keep the wire as short as possible when wiring a sensor to the controller. Separate the power cable and load wire in order to prevent
interference and induced noise.
7. Make sure the power cables and signal device are installed correctly before switching on the power; otherwise serious damage may
occur.
8. DO NOT touch the terminal or repair the device when the power is on; otherwise an electric shock may occur.
9. Please wait for 1 minute after the power is switched off to allow the capacitor to discharge and DO NOT touch the internal wiring within
this period.
10. DO NOT touch the internal terminal when DTE is either switched on or off in case you may damage the circuit.
11. Please place DTE with other heating objects (e.g. power supply) within proper distance while installing DTE.

Synchronous Communication Protocol & Auto ID Setup
This function allows the auto setup of communication protocol in extension module DTC2000 and DTC2001 following the communication
protocol set in the DTE main unit. The station IDs of DTC decrease. See below for the steps.
1. Set the auto communication ID of DTE as “1” (communication address: H10F8).
2. Switch off DTE. Connect DTE with extension module DTC2000, DTC2001 and switch on DTE again.
3. Default communication protocol: 9,600bps, 7 bits, Even, 1 stop bit, communication address = 01.
4. This function will consume 3 ~ 5 seconds more when you switch on DTE.
CT (Current Transformer)
Function
DTE10T offers maximum 4 channels of CT (CT1 ~ CT4), responsible for monitoring the current in INA.
Each CT group can be set up independently. With alarm outputs, when the detected current value is
beyond the allowed range, the corresponding alarm will be enabled.
Slot INA offers 4 channels of input, and CH1 ~ CH4 correspond to the current detected at CT1 ~ CT4.
Hardware requirement: Accessory DTE2CT inserted in the slot AUX.
How to Operate
1. Enable the CT function: Write 1234H into the address 47F1H and then 0004H into address 4824H.
The flag to enable CT is at bit2 of 4824H. Write 0004H to bit2 to set it on.
If the “multistate” function is enabled, for example, writing in 0024H means enabling bit5 and bit2 at the same time.
You can only choose to use either the CT or EVENT function.
If there is already a set value in 4824H and you would like to modify it, reset it to 0 before you set up a new value.
2. When you use INA input or INA + INB input, set up relevant parameters using the table below.
INA input:
Upper bound of Alarm 1 output 1080H 1081H 1082H 1083H
Lower bound of Alarm 1 output 1088H 1089H 108AH 108BH
Upper bound of Alarm 2 output 1084H 1085H 1086H 1087H
Lower bound of Alarm 2 output 108CH 108DH 108EH 108FH
3. OUT1 control mode has to be set to “0” (heating) or “1” (cooling). It cannot be set to “2” (proportional output).
4. You can select Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 to be the output contact. The output mode has to be set to “13” (000DH).
5. Adjust the upper/lower bound of the alarm output.
6. The CT value will only be measured when there is OUT1 executing. If OUT1 does not exist, the previous CT value measured will be
displayed.
EVENT Input
Function
DTE10T offers 8 channels of EVENT input (EV1 ~ EV8), and each EVENT can be
set up independently. Slot number 1 ~ 8 in AUX on DTE10T correspond to EV1 ~ EV8.
EV1 to EV8 can be short-circuited individually with slot number 9 to switch functions.
Hardware requirement: Accessory DTE20D inserted in the slot AUX.
How to Operate
1. Enable the EVENT function: Write 1234H into the address 47F1H and then 0002H into address 4824H.
The flag to enable EVENT is at bit1 of 4824H. Write 0002H to bit1 to set it on.
If the “multistate” function is enabled, for example, writing in 0022H means enabling bit5 and bit1 at the same time.
You can only choose to use either the CT or EVENT function.
If there is already a set value in 4824H and you would like to modify it, reset it to 0 before you set up a new value.
2. Each channel can be set up individually for specific functions.

How to Operate
1. Enable the slope function: Write 1234H into the address 47F1H and then 0020H into address 4824H.
The flag to enable slope function is at bit5 of 4824H. Write 0020H to bit5 to set it on.
If the “multistate” function is enabled, for example, writing 0022H means enabling bit5 and bit1 at the same time.
If there is already a set value in 4824H and you would like to modify it, reset it to 0 before you set up a new value.
2. Set up relevant parameters using the table below.

Programmable PID Latch Function!
Function
DTE10T offers programmable PID latch function. When the power is off and on again, the status before the power is cut off can be retained.
How to Operate
1. Enable the programmable PID latch function: Write 1234H into the address 47F1H and then 0008H into address 4824H.
The flag to enable PID latch is at bit3 of 4824H. Write 0008H to bit3 to set it on.
If the “multistate” function is enabled, for example, writing in 0028H means enabling bit5 and bit3 at the same time.
If there is already a set value in 4824H and you would like to modify it, reset it to 0 before you set up a new value.

Output Limits!
Function!
The output is limited between the maximum and minimum percentages.
Note: When the output volume is limited at 20 to 80%, it means the output volume 0 to 100% calculated by the controller is corresponding
to the actual output 20 to 80%.
Programmable Control Time Unit!
Function!
The unit of programmable control time can be “minute” or “second”.
How to Operate!

Input Filter!
Function!
To avoid unstable PV display due to interferences, DTE10T offers the filter function. Instead of averaging the values, the filter function here
calculate the weighted average value of the “current PV” and “previous PV”.
The filter equation: PV (displayed value) = [previous PV x (filter times – 1) + current PV] / filter times
The bigger the filter times, the bigger the weight of the previous PV, and the smoother the temperature display, which is a good way to
suppress interferences.
How to Operate!
Set up relevant parameters using the table below.
Parameter Address Default value Range
Filter times 10F7H 8 0 ~ 50
Filter range 10F9H 1.0 0.1 ~ 10.0
Hot Runner Control!
Function!
The hot runner control includes 3 steps:
1. Heating up by constant output volume
2. Timed PID control (Soak)
3. Slope heating to the target temperature (SV)
How to Operate!
1. Enable the hot runner control function: Write 1234H into the address 47F1H and then 0060H into address 4824H.
Assume the temperature bound is 100.0, constant output volume is 35.0, timed time is 15, target temperature is 200.0 and slope is 20.0, thus
1. The heater outputs by the 35% constant volume and waits for the temperature to rise to 100 degrees,
2. When the temperature hits 100 degrees, switch to the PID soak mode and retain the temperature constantly for 15 minutes.
3. When the time is up, switch to the slope control mode, executing the condition of a 20 degree temperature rise every minute.
4. When the heating achieves 200 degrees, the hot runner control is completed.
RS-485 Communication
1. DTE supports baudrates 2,400/4,800/9,600/19,200/38,400/57,600/115,200 bps and does not support communication format 7, N, 1/8, E,
2/8, O, 2. Communication protocol = Modbus ASCII or RTU.
2. Function codes: H03 = read maximum 8 words in the register; H06 = write 1 word into the register.
3. Address and contents: Every parameter has 2 communication addresses. One is numbered by the function of the parameter, and the other
is by the order of channel (as shown in the table below).
The error codes can be read from address H1000 ~ H1007. When the input operation is in normal status, H1000 ~ H1007 are for input values.
When input error occurs (except for stable status and input exceeding the range), DTE will read error codes in H8001 ~ H8002.
H1000 Error description
H8001 EEPROM cannot be written in.
H8002 Input sensor is not connected.
H8003 Group INB is not connected.
