GETTING STARTED

1. Install the control as described on page 5.

2. Wire your control following the instructions on pages 5-11. If you are using a two-

wire transmitter as an input, see the drawing and instructions on page 7. Option

wiring instructions are on pages 8-11. Option descriptions and specific instructions

start on page 19.

3. Most controls do not need many (if any) program changes to work on your process.

For best results when changing the programming, make all the necessary changes

in the Secure Menu (page 31) before making changes to the Secondary Menu (page

24). If error messages occur, check the Error Messages on page 41-43 for help.

Take the example of a Model 26010 that comes from the factory programmed for type J thermocouples. Suppose for this example you wish to change the input to a 100 ohm Platinum RTD and limit the set point range between 0° and 300°C.

First, enter the Secure menu by pressing and holding the UP ARROW & ENTER keys for 5 Seconds. Press the INDEX key until the display shows I n P and press the

DOWN ARROW until the display shows P385. Don’t forget to press the ENTER

key to retain your setting.

Next, press the INDEX key to display U n i t . Press the DOWN ARROW until the display shows C. Press ENTER.

Next, press the INDEX key until S P L is displayed (pass the dPt, I n P t , and S E n C selections). Press the UP ARROW until the display shows 0. Press ENTER.

Finally, press INDEX key to display S P H . Press the DOWN ARROW until the display shows 3 0 0 . Press ENTER.

The necessary program changes are now complete. After 30 seconds the display will switch back to the temperature reading. If you want to return faster, press the

UP ARROW & ENTER keys (at the same time) and then press the DOWN ARROW & INDEX keys (again at the same time). This will ‘back out’ of the menu and

immediately display the temperature reading.

If you want to use Self Tune

, Auto/Manual, or the Ramp/Soak Programmer features, see the special sections on these items. Page numbers for these are in the Contents section on the previous page.

PANEL

Mount the instrument in a location that will not be subject to excessive temperature, shock, or vibration. All models are designed for mounting in an enclosed panel.

Select the position desired for the instrument on the panel. If more than one instrument is required, maintain the minimum of spacing requirements as shown on the drawing below. Closer spacing will structurally weaken the panel, and invalidate the IP66, UL type 4X rating of the panel.

Prepare the panel by cutting and deburring the required opening.

PANEL CUTOUT

From the front of the panel, slide the housing through the cut out. The housing gasket should be against the housing flange before installing.

From the rear of the panel slide the mounting collar over the housing. Hold the housing with one hand and using the other hand, push the collar evenly against the panel until the spring loops are slightly compressed. The ratchets will hold the mounting collar and housing in place.

CAUTION: It is not necessary to remove the instrument chassis from the housing for installation. If the instrument chassis is removed from the housing, you must follow industry standard practice for control and protection against Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Failure to exercise good ESD practices may cause damage to the instrument.

WIRING

Do not run RTD, thermocouple, or other class 2 wiring in the same conduit as power leads. Use only the type of thermocouple or RTD probe for which the control has been programmed. Maintain separation between wiring of sensor, optional inputs and outputs and other wiring. See the “Secure Menu” for input selection.

For thermocouple input always use extension leads of the same type designated for your thermocouple.

May, 2013 Page 5 of 52 949-1194 Rev. 7

For supply connections use No. 16 AWG or larger wires rated for at least 75°C. Use copper conductors only. All line voltage output circuits must have a common disconnect and be connected to the same pole of the disconnect.

Input wiring for thermocouple, current, and RTD; and output wiring for current and 15 VDC is rated CLASS 2.

Control wiring is as shown (view is from rear of instrument showing wiring terminals).

Note: Illustrations shown inside the wiring terminals represent internal circuitry. See next page for output wiring chart.

NOTATION CONVENTIONS FOR THE MENUS

Because of the number of features available in this control, information is included that may not apply to your specific control. All usable features are included in this book, but may not be used in your process. To increase clarity the following conventions are used:

1. Certain features, menu items, and functions shown in this book may or may not appear on your control, depending on other menu item selections. At various places in the menus there are notes identifying menu items that “control” or “direct” other menu items. If you are looking for a particular menu item and can’t find it, check the menu item that is its “control” for proper setting.

2. The “#” symbol is used in two ways. It is used inside a group of characters to indicate which set point function (S P 1 or SP2) is being affected. It is also used before a group of characters of a menu item to indicate that there may be more than one selection or value for that menu item. This is used for certain repeated items such as in the Ramp/Soak Program section.

DISPLAY CONVENTIONS

The instrument front has two four digit displays, eleven indicators, and six keys. The diagram on page 12 shows the location of the displays and descriptors.

During normal operation the top four digit display indicates the temperature that is being read by the sensor. The bottom display indicates the set point. When you are programming the instrument, the bottom display indicates the Menu Item being programmed and the top display the value selected for that Menu Item. Error messages use both the top and bottom displays to indicate a particular error.

Each character can only be displayed with seven light segments. Alphabet characters may look peculiar when seen presented this way. The following is an example of the ‘seven segment alphabet’ as used in the instrument:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

A b CdEFGHIJKLmnOPQ rSt U V U XYZ

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 567 8 9

Notice that some characters are in upper case while others are in lower case. Some look the same (e.g. G [G] and 9 [9 ]) and must be interpreted by context. Others are close (e.g. B [b ] and 6 [6 ]), but different. Usually, the context of the term or value will help you determine the correct character.

May, 2013 Page 14 of 52 949-1194 Rev. 7

THE HOME DISPLAY

The home display is the normal display while the control is operating. If no errors or functions are active, the HOME display will indicate the Process Variable (the temperature, pressure, flow, RH, etc., that is being measured) on the top display and the Set Variable (Set Point 1) on the bottom.

Items that can change the HOME display are the Auto/Manual function, the Run/Hold function, the P r o 9 function, the Pct O function, and any error message. Description of these special displays follows.

If the Auto/Manual key is pressed, the Manual indicator lights, the “%” indicator lights, and the home display is changed. The upper display continues to show the Process Variable (PV), but the lower display changes to show the percentage of output in tenths of a percent to 99.9% (0.0 to 99.9), or 100 if 100%. The display digit to the right of the number shows a flashing letter o to indicate that the value displayed is no longer the SV, but percent output. The SP2 percent output is indicated by the use of an overline on the letter õ. Access to the SP 2 value is made by the INDEX key. See Auto/Manual Operation on Page 17 for further information.

If P r o 9 is turned On, the HOME display changes the SV display from S P 1 to the Present Set Variable as calculated by the Ramp/Soak Programmer function. See Programming and Operation for Ramp/Soak Feature below for more information.

If P c t O (Secondary Menu) is turned On, the lower display changes to show the active percentage of output as required to maintain S P 1 . The display is similar to the Auto/Manual display above, except that the percent indicators (o ,õ ) do not flash, and the output is displayed in whole percentages of output, not in tenths of a percent. If the control has both S P 1 and SP2, the lower display will alternate between the S P 1 percent output and the SP2 percent output.

Error messages are listed on pages 41-43.

PROGRAMMING AND OPERATION FOR RAMP / SOAK FEATURE

The ramp / soak feature offers a great deal of flexibility by allowing changes in the set point to be made over a predetermined period of time. Dwell times can be programmed, and the alarm output relay can be programmed to open or close during any of the segments.

Theory of Operation

The 2600 Series controls offer a very simple approach to programming a ramp. Rather than requiring the operator to calculate an approach rate (usually in degrees per minute), the 2600 does the calculation internally. Thus, the operator only needs to program the target set point and the time desired to reach that point. When the ramp segment is executed by the control, it calculates the ramp required to move the process from the starting value (current PV) to the desired value (programmed SP) in the time allowed.

May, 2013 Page 15 of 52 949-1194 Rev. 7

Soaks (or dwells) are ramp segments where the target set point is the same as the beginning process value. This allows for multistage ramps without wasting intermediate soak steps. Care must be taken, however, that the process does actually reach the soak value before the soak time starts. If not, the next segment will calculate a slope from the starting PV to the target SP. Depending on your process requirements, this difference may be important. Make sure to test any program for desired results before running production material.

Do not operate Self Tune while a ramp function is operating. The ramp function will prevent the Self Tune from operating properly. Make sure that all tuning is set up before operating Ramp / Soak.

Program Setup

All of the programming for the Ramp / Soak function is done in the Secondary Menu. You may wish to work out your program on paper before going into the programmer menu sequence.

In the Secondary Menu INDEX to P r o 9 and make sure that Pro 9 is set to OFF.

INDEX to P S E t and turn On. Press ENTER.

Skip the S t A t setting (this is discussed later) and press INDEX to 1ti .

The following items repeat in the following order: 1 t i , 1 S P , 1 A 1 and/or 1A2 (if A L 1 or AL2 in the Secure Menu are programmed set to E U n t ), 2 t i , 2 S P , 2 A 1 ,..., 1 6 t i , 1 6 S P , 1 6 A 1 , 1 6 A 2 . To avoid repetition each item will only be described once.

Set 1 t i to the amount of time you want for the first ramp. This value is in time units (determined by the t b A S menu item) from 0 to 99 9 9 . Press ENTER.

Set 1 S P to the target value desired for the first ramp. This value is in actual units just like S P 1 . If the control is programmed for temperature, then the SP displays are in temperature. If the control is programmed for some other engineering unit, the SP is set in that unit.
