Model 409.83 Temperature Controller
Inappropriate use Before you attempt to use the Model 409.83 High Temperature Controller, read
and understand this manual. Improper installation or operation of this product can result in hazardous conditions that can cause severe personal injury or death, and damage your equipment and specimen.
WEEE The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) symbol ( ) means
that the controller and its electronic parts must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Proper disposal is required by approved electronic waste collection agencies. Customers in the EC region who desire to return an end-of­life controller and its electronic parts are encouraged to contact your local MTS Systems Sales/Service Offices for instructions.

Model 409.83 Temperature Controller Functional Description

Closed-loop control is maintained in each zone by a single Eurotherm Model 2216 Temperature Controller (control module). The Model 409.83 Temperature Controller includes up to three Eurotherm control modules which correspond to up to three heat zones in the furnace. Each module accepts a thermocouple input and outputs proportional power to control the respective furnace heating element.
The control modules are programmed at MTS for use with Series 652 or 653 High-Temperature Furnaces. Tuning parameters establish the temperature setpoint, control accuracy, and operating limits. Alarm circuits function as an

interlock when the heater elements are enabled. If undesirable conditions arise, power to the heater elements is cut off automatically.
The following figure illustrates a block diagram of the Model 409.83 Temperature Controller and a high-temperature furnace.
A temperature setpoint is selected for each furnace heat zone. The setpoint is compared to the temperature measurement provided by a thermocouple inside in the furnace. Any difference (between the setpoint and the actual temperature) causes an error signal.
The error signal produces a time proportional signal. This time proportional signal is sent to a corresponding solid state relay. The time proportional output pulses the solid state relay on and off at a rate determined by the amplitude and polarity of the error signal. The solid state relay applies the AC power to the corresponding heating element in the furnace.

Model 409 High Temperature Controller Connections
All input/output signals that interface the temperature controller and other system components are available on the bottom panel. This section provides information on all input/output signals of the temperature controller.
Model 409.83 Temperature Controller Bottom Panel
The furnace/controller must be connected to a supply source which incorporates a residual current operated circuit-breaker which interrupts the supply at a differential current of 30mA or less.
Due to the fact that the heaters are hazardous live and are accessible, the equipment must be connected to a supply source that incorporates such a circuit breaker.
Chassis voltage The temperature controller receives power from a detachable, three-wire power
cord. The power cord plugs into an input power connector block located on the bottom panel. The chassis power switch is located on the rear panel; on is labeled |, and off is labeled 0. The line voltage is selected at time of order (120 or 240 V) and is not field selectable.
J1, J2, J3
thermocouple inputs
Temperature feedback is provided through a single Type ‘R’ thermocouple lead (for each zone). The furnace thermocouples should be connected to the input connectors. The connections are polarized; the longer slot is negative (–) and the shorter slot is positive (+).

communication
Socket-style connectors J4 and J5 transfer the heater control signal (line voltage) from the temperature controller to the furnace heater elements. The cables connected to J4 and J5 are interchangeable.
J4 and J5 Heating Element Output Connections
The J6 serial communication port has three functions:
Interlock input
The interlock input can be connected to an external (normally-closed) switch or contact. If the external switch or contact opens, the temperature controller alarm is triggered, and power is cut off to the heating elements.
Interlock contact output
The interlock output (relay output) can be connected to an external monitoring device to follow the enable/alarm state of the temperature controller. This contact is closed when the Model 409.83 Controller heating elements are enabled. If an alarm is triggered or the Disable button is pressed (interlock is open), a signal is sent to the external monitoring device.
RS–485 communication port to temperature control module
All functions and readout values in each Eurotherm 2216 Controller can be monitored and adjusted by a single RS-485 serial port located at J6.
If nothing is connected to the J6 port, a jumper plug must be installed (MTS part number 525099-01).

Model 409.83 Temperature Controller Calibration

Model 409.83 Temperature Controller Calibration
The basic calibration of the controller is highly stable and set for life. User calibration allows you to offset the permanent factory calibration to either:
Calibrate the controller to your reference standards.
Match the calibration of the controller to that of a particular transducer or
sensor input.
Calibrate the controller to suit the characteristics of a particular installation
Remove long term drift in the factory-set calibration.
User calibration works by introducing zero and span offsets onto the factory-set calibration.
Note For complete information on enabling and performing user calibration,
refer to the Eurotherm Model 2216 Temperature Controller manual.

About Alarms
Lists always show LiSt in the lower readout.
2. From the list header display, press the scroll button to select the required parameter.
The parameter name displays in the upper readout and its value in the lower.
3. From the parameter display, press the up or down arrow (to increase or decrease the current value).
Two seconds after releasing either button, the display blinks to show the control module has accepted the new value.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for each parameter in each control module.
You can return to the Home display by pressing the scroll and page buttons simultaneously. Alternatively, you will always be returned to the Home display if no button is pressed for 45 seconds.
If any of the temperature controllers detect an alarm condition, two indicators notify the operator.

Process Alarms

The alarm indicator on the lower panel lights, and an alarm message flashes in either the upper or lower readout of the Home display. Alarms can be acknowledged by pressing the page or scroll buttons on the display on the affected control module.
On the control modules, new alarms are displayed as a double flash, followed by a pause. If there is more than one alarm, the display cycles through the relevant alarm conditions.
There are two types of alarms: Process and Diagnostic.
Process alarms warn of a problem with the process being monitored by the controller.

Maintenance

CAUTION
Cleaning Keep the exterior of the temperature controller free from dust and other debris.
Should the controller require cleaning, keep the following points in mind:
Do not clean the controller exterior with harsh detergents.
Use only a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the controller. If a cleaning agent is needed, use only mild detergent with water. Harsh detergents can damage the temperature controller finish and electronics.
Power should be disconnected (by unplugging the AC line cord at the wall
outlet) before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth to remove dust and other debris from the exterior of the
temperature controller. If a cleaning agent is required, use only a mild detergent and water.
Allow for sufficient dry time before reconnecting power to the temperature
controller.
Replacing a Eurotherm
2216
Parameters are set at MTS Systems Corporation according to the configuration drawing (MTS part number 531124-xx). If a control module is replaced, set the parameters according to the MTS-factory settings and then run the Eurotherm Automatic Tuning. Once the MTS factory settings have been entered, you may deviate from them (in small steps).
