ELECTRICAL WIRING
Fig. 01 below shows the controller connections to sensor, mains and outputs.
Fig. 01 - N321R terminals
* The serial communication interface is optional.
Pt100 with 3 conductors: Terminals 11, 12 and 13 must have the same wire resistance for proper cable length compensation. For 2 wire Pt100, short circuit terminals 11 and 13.
INSTALATION
It is important to follow the recommendations below:
Signal wires should be installed in grounded conduits and away from power or contactor
wires.
The instrument should have its own power supply wires that should not be shared with
electrical motors, coils, contactors, etc.
Installing RC filters (47 R and 100 nF, series combination) is strongly recommended at
contactor coils or any other inductor.
Use protection devices like circuit breakers and fuses.
OPERATION
The controller requires the internal parameters to be configured according to the intended use for the instrument. The parameters are organized in 4 groups or levels.
Upon power-up, the N323R display shows for 1 second its firmware version. This information is useful when consulting the factory. Then, the temperature measured by the sensor is shown on the display. This is the parameter level 0 (temperature measurement level).
To access level 1, press for 1 second until the “SP” message shows up. Pressing again to go back to level 0.
To access level 2 of parameters, press for 2 seconds until the “uNT” message is shown. Release the key to remain in this level. Each new pressing on the key will advance
to the next parameter in that level. At the end of the level, the controller returns to the first level (0).
Level 1 – Setpoint Adjustment
In this level only the Setpoint (SP) parameters are available, alternating the names with their respective values. Adjust the desired temperature for each setpoint clicking on the and
keys.
Level 2 – Configuration – Parameters Configuration Level
Contains the configuration parameters to be defined by the user, according to the system’s requirements. Use and keys to set the value. The display alternates the parameter
name and respective value.
Use the and keys to alter a parameter value.
Notes: 1 A parameter configuration is saved when the key is pressed to
advance to the next parameter in the cycle. The configuration is stored in a non-volatile memory, retaining its value when the controller is de-energized.
2 If no keyboard activity is detected for over 20 seconds, the controller saves
the current parameter value and returns to the measurement level.

Level 3 – Calibration Level
The controller is factory calibrated. The following parameters should be accessed only by experienced personnel. To enter this cycle, the key must be kept pressed for 4 seconds.
Don’t press the and keys if you are not sure of the calibration procedures. Just press the key a few times until the temperature measurement level is reached again.
WORKING WITH THE CONTROLLER
The controller turns on and off the compressor output such as to maintain the temperature at the selected Setpoint. The front panel display shows the symbol whenever the compressor is active.
The defrost process of this controller is executed by stopping the compressor. This procedure is done every time interval defined by the user. The control output remains off by time also defined by the user. During the defrost procedure the temperature indication can be held by adjusting the parameter dfk.
The df1 and dft parameters define, respectively, the time interval between defrosts and the duration of the defrost cycle. The controller display shows the symbol to indicate that a defrost cycle is in progress.
Manual defrost: The key allows that a defrost cycle be initiated of terminated immediately. Pressing this key for 1 second will toggle the current defrost status.
CONFIGURATION PROTECTION
A protection system to avoid unwanted changes to the controller parameters is implemented. The level of protection can be selected from partial to full. The following parameters are part of the protection system:
Pas: When this parameter is presented, the correct password must be entered to allow
changes of parameters in the following levels.
Prt: Defines the level of parameters that will be password protected:
1 - Only calibration level is protected (factory configuration);
2 - Calibration and Configuration levels are protected;
3 - All levels are protected - Calibration, Configuration and SP.
PA( Parameter for definition of a new password. Since it is located in the calibration
level, can only be changed by a user that knows the current password. Valid passwords are in the range 1 to 999.
Configuration protection usage
The PAS parameter is displayed before entering a protected level. If the correct password is entered, parameters in all following levels can be changed. If wrong or no password is entered, parameters in the following levels will be read only.
Important notes:
1 - After five consecutive attempts to enter a wrong password, new tentative will be blocked
for the next 10 minutes. If the current valid password is unknown, the master password can be used only to define a new password for the controller.
2 - The password for a brand new device is 111.
ERROR MESSAGES
Probe measurement errors force the controller outputs to be turned off. The cause for these errors may have origin in a bad connection, sensor defect (cable or element) or system temperature outside the sensor working range. The display signs related to measurement errors are shown below.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION (N321R-NTC-LVD)
The controller constantly monitors the voltage of power network and shuts the compressor if this tension is not within limits. These limits are defined in parameters (PL and (Pk, adjustable between 150 and 254 Vac. In addition to turning the compressor off, the driver passes the signal on your display this occurrence: Toggles the indication of voltage value measured with the temperature value.
When the voltage exceeds limits (lower than 150 Vac and higher than 254 Vac) is signaling to indicate temperature alternating with the message 0.
WARRANTY
Warranty conditions are available on our web site www.novusautomation.com.
MASTER PASSWORD
The master password allows user to define a new password for the controller, even if the current password is unknown. The master password is based in the serial number of the controller, and calculated as following:
[ 1 ] + [ higher digit of SN2 ] + [ higher digit of SN1 ] + [ higher digit of SN0 ]
for example the master password for the device with serial number 987123 465 is: 1936
As follows: 1 + sn2= 987; sn1= 123; sn0= 465 = 1 9 3 6
How to use the master password:
1 - Enter the master password value at PaS prompt. 2 - Go to PA( parameter and enter the new password, which must not be zero (0).
3 - Now you can use this new password to access all controller parameters with modify rights.
