Short Operating Instruction for temperature regulator 450

We deliver our temperature regulator in its basic adjustment for the control of heaters. For other applications, the parameters should be
accordingly modified with the help of the attached operating instruction.

1. Link: There is a link for the thermocouple (NiCr Ni, type K) on the front plate. Laterally, heaters can be steered through the

automatic controller. The permissible power for each power connection amounts to 5 A with 230 ~V. Attention the output is only
for resistive load!

2. Display: The temperature (actual value) measured at the thermocouple is displayed. Heater switching impulses (220 V at the plug

sockets) are displayed by a left red LED. The Set value will be indicated below the actual value and can select with the arrows.

3. Temperature adjustment: With the arrow keys > v / ^ < the desired set point can be set. After the modification, the value will be

used immediately.

4. Temperature control: Thermocouple NiCr Ni type K, with proportional temperature control, with soft start function (note:

heating regulates the full heating power after approximately 3-5 minutes; in any case soft start for the protection of the heating
cartridge).

Important adjustments for modifications of the temperature control:

Blocked: Pass: 99 (protection: 28)
by parameter CFG (press >F< key for 2 seconds, press twice afterwards, CFG appears)
S.tu: Adjustment whether working with optimization (see instruction)
h.Pb: Value of heating in proportion to the final value of the thermocouple; i.e. the regulation starts 1 % of the thermocouple’s
final value below the set point. Example: adjustment: 1,0, thermocouple type K: 1300°C = 1 % = 13 °C, set point: 500 °C; this
means that the temperature control is started at 487°C.
h.It: the smaller the value, the more an adaptation value to the set point is attempted. If the value is small, there is the danger of
over swing.
h.dt: the larger the value, the more an over swing is prevented; this affects a dampening of the controlling action. The relation of
the values h.It to h.dt should always be 4:1.

5. Manual regulation: Through pressing key > O < you can choose between automatic and manual operation. In case of manual

operation the instrument is only used as a momentum generator and there is no need for a thermocouple (important when sensor
breaks). After reversing, LED L1 light up and the value can be chosen. Value 100 means constant heating, value 50 means that the
processes of turning on and turning off take equally long. The clock speed is entered. A set point is not considered. The temperature
and the set value are displayed alternately. Change over to the automatic mode by pressing key > O <.

6. Turning on/Turning off: The instrument can be turned on and off by using the power switch at the rear. Furthermore, there is the

possibility of turning the instrument off while it is connected with the voltage supply. Therefore, key >F< and key > ^ < have to be
pressed at the same time and for 5 seconds. After turning the instrument off, only a decimal point can be seen. The instrument is
turned on by pressing key >F< for 5 seconds.

7. Alarm: right red LED out: If temperature more as 400 °C the alarm function will be activated and heating stopped (right LED goes

out. It will be worked again, if the temperature is below 400 °C.

8. A fuse is installed inside as protection, if the current is more than 5 amperes. Attention: The relay can switch only resistive

load (ohm-resistance)! Don’t regulate transformer and systems with more as 5 amperes. Working temperature: -10 to +40°C

Protection against manipulation of the parameters

To deactivate the protection:

Press the F-key as long as „PAS “appears. With the up and down key type the number 99, afterwards press F key until „Pro“
appears. Type there the number 00. After renewed long pressing of the F-key, the menu is left and the protection is deactivated.

You activate the protection like follows:

Press the F-key as long as „PAS“ appears. With the up and down key type the number 99, afterwards press F key until „Pro“
appears. Type there the number 30. After renewed long pressing of the F-key, the menu is left and the protection is activated.

1 • PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS

This section contains information and warnings

of a general nature which should be read
before proceeding with controller installation,
configuration and use.

General Description

The series 450 temperature controller, measuring
48x48mm (1/16 DIN), offers simplicity of use and high
quality of control.
The input from temperature sensors is “universal”
and configurable with type J, K, R, S, T, B, E,
N thermocouples and with 3-wire Rt100 resistance
thermometers.
The user interface has a complete double display with
green LEDs, 4 keys, and two red LEDs to signal active
outputs.
The Lexan® membrane on the front panel guarantees
an IP65 protection level for these products.
The controller outputs, freely configurable as control
output and alarm output, are available in a 5A/250VAC
relay version or in a logic signal version to drive solid
state relays.
The input signal read speed (120msec) and the tested
PID control algorithm with selftuning and autotuning
parameter functions guarantee accurate and stable
control even for rapid and discontinuous heating
systems.
Series 450 models are factory-configured to satisfy
most industrial heating applications (input for probe J,
hot PID setting, 10 second cycle time) and can always
be modified from keyboard and from PC with a few
parameters grouped on intuitive menus.

A programming kit for PC is available, consisting of
a cable and a user-friendly program for Windows
with Wizard pages, oscilloscope for process analysis,
saving of parameter recipes, and ability to reset factory
parameters. A settable software protection code
(password-protected) lets you limit access to internal
parameters to various levels, up to total protection.

Electrical Interface

All connection terminals (power supply, inputs, outputs,
options) are grouped together on the back of the
instrument.

2 • INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

This section contains the instructions necessary
for correct installation of the instrument series

450 into the machine control panel or the host
system and for correct connection of the
controller power supply, inputs, outputs.

Before proceeding with installation read the

following warnings carefully!

Remember that lack of observation of these

warnings could lead to problems of electrical
safety and electromagnetic compatibility, as
well as invalidating the warranty.

Electrical power supply

• the instrument is NOT equipped with an On/Off switch:
the user must provide a two-phase disconnecting
switch that conforms to the required safety standards
(CE marking), to cut off the power supply upstream of
the instrument.
The switch must be located in the immediate vicinity of
the instrument and must be within easy reach of the
operator.
One switch may control more than one controller.

• if the instrument is connected to NOT isolated electrical
equipment (e.g. thermocouples), the earth connection
must be made with a specific conductor to prevent the
connection itself from coming directly through the
machine structure.

• if the instrument is used in applications with risk of

damage to persons, machinery or materials, it is
essential to connect it up to auxiliary alarm equipment.
It is advisable to make sure that alarm signals are
also triggered during normal operation.
The instrument must NOT be installed in flammable or
explosive environments; it may be connected to
equipment operating in such atmospheres only by
means of appropriate and adequate types of
interface, conforming to the applicable safety
standards.
