Introduction

The Digi-Sense TC9100 Advanced PID and On/Off Temperature Controller (Models 89800-11
and 89800-12) is designed to regulate a user-defined output device at a set point temperature.

The microprocessor control uses a PID algorithm that provides precise heating/cooling tolerances

for demanding applications in the laboratory or industrial setting.
The TC9100 is a microprocessor-based, digital indicating, single-loop temperature controller.

It has a single output located on the back of the controller. It features an auto-tuning function that

allows automatic configuration of the PID parameters with minimum user configuration required.

The TC9100 has a single thermocouple input that accepts J, K, N, R, S, T, B, and E sensors.
The controller automatically sets the PID parameters through a "learning" sequence in the

auto tune mode. PID parameters include proportional band, reset/integral, and rate/derivative.
The user-friendly LED display is to aid in monitoring and setup of the controller. The controller
automatically stores all user-defined information in nonvolatile memory.

1. RUN/STOP Button

Pressing RUN/STOP once will start the control process if the temperature Controller is stopped, or stop the control process if the
temperature controller is running. If the controller is running, “Heat” and “Cool” on-screen indicators will illuminate appropriately
in the “Alarm/Action Display”.

2. TUNE Button

Pressing TUNE once will start the AUTO TUNE cycle. AUTO TUNING must be enabled in the setup mode for this key to function.

(See page 14, Screen 16)

3. ALARM Button

In an ALARM situation, the screen will display either “WARNING” or “ERROR” with the corresponding message. A “WARNING”
will not stop the control process. An “ERROR” will stop the control process.

A. MANUAL RESET mode: Pressing ALARM once will silence the audible alarm and clear the on-screen alarm message. If the alarm situation
is still present, the “Alarm/Action Display” will remain illuminated. The alarm and on-screen message will not clear automatically, even if the
system is no longer in an alarm situation.

B. AUTO RESET mode: Pressing ALARM once will silence the audible alarm and clear the on-screen alarm message. If the alarm situation
is still present, the “Alarm/Action Display” will remain illuminated. If the system leaves an alarm situation, the system will automatically silence
the alarm and clear the on-screen alarm message.

4. SELECT Button

Pressing SELECT once will cycle through user-configurable control set points. All user-configurable set points will be underlined
with a greyed out line. The selected set point will be underlined. Change the set point with the UP and DOWN arrow buttons.

5. MENU Button

The MENU button provides access to all user-configurable setup parameters of the controller. Pressing this key once will scroll
through parameter options. Pressing and holding this key will exit to the home screen, saving any changes made up to that point.

6. UP, DOWN, BACK Buttons

The UP and DOWN arrow buttons will increase or decrease the value of the set point selected (underlined). Pressing the UP or
DOWN arrow keys will increase or decrease numerical entries by the least significant digit. The rate of acceleration will increase as
shown in the table below, starting from the least significant digit. Pressing and holding the UP or DOWN arrow key will increase or
decrease text entries without an acceleration factor. The Back button moves backwards through the General and Advanced Setup

Menus. To exit to the main screen from either menu, press and hold the MENU button.

Numbers… Increase/Decrease by…

0.0 – 0.9 0.1
0 – 9 1

7. HEAT, COOL, AND TUNE Indicators

When any of these modes are active they will have a block indicator on the display showing they are active. Example: When the
controller is in the heat mode and it is applying power to the heater output there will be an indicator block on the display to show
the heater output is active.

Setup and Operation

Initial Setup

 Install controller in safe operating area.

 Plug the heater or cooler (sold separately) into the output connector located on the back of the

controller.

 Connect the thermocouple sensor to the thermocouple input connector located on the back of

the controller.

 Place the ferrite clip over the lead wire of the thermocouple sensor. (See page 28 for reference

picture of installation of ferrite clip.)

 Plug the supplied AC cord into the IEC power connector located on the back of the controller.

Basic Operation Setup

 Turn power switch ON, located on the back of controller.
 Follow the instructions on the “welcome” screen.

- Press SELECT key to read a brief description of each key on the front of controller.

- Press the MENU key to skip the instructions and enter the main operation screen.

 Press the SELECT key to make a user-editable field active. A line will appear under the field

when the field is active for editing.

 Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the value that is active in a user-editable field.
 Enter the user-configurable setup by pressing the MENU key from the system status screen.
 Use the MENU key to advance through each menu setting.
 Hold UP and press DOWN arrow keys to jump directly to Output Power adjustment screen.

 Depending on process operation, follow the directions to set up the controller for the proper

operation of your process:

- PID (Factory default) on pages 8-15

- ON/OFF on pages 16-22

 All changed settings will be retained in memory when returning to the System Status screen.

 Use the flow charts (see pages 26-27) to have a visual of the controls menu layout.

Auto Tune Setup

 Set up your process as noted in the initial setup.
 Verify that the Auto Tune feature is enabled in the menu settings.
 From the main operation screen, set the set point temperature.
 Press the TUNE button and the indicators showing Heat and Tune will be illuminated on display.

 The Set Point value can not be altered after the Tune process has started. The value is locked

until the Tune process is complete or aborted by the user.

 Please note that the controller will tune at 90% of the set point. Don’t be alarmed if the controller

does not reach your entered set point in the tune mode.

 Stopping the Tune operation prior to it finishing will cause the PID settings to be returned to

factory default values.

Safety Precautions

DANGER: DO NOT REMOVE COVER! HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT IN
THE CONTROLLER. Contact supplier for service.

DANGER: If high voltage is present on external temperature sensor from
outside source, high voltage will be present at the control.

DANGER: Fire protection and control damage: Replace all fuses with the
correct fuse replacement. Reference page 26 for model 89800-11 and
page 27 for model 89800-12.

WARNING: Specifications for the power cord: see page 26 for model 89800-11
and page 27 for model 89800-12 for proper replacement cord. Additional input
power cords for various countries are listed on page 32.
