SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OMEGA® CN100 Series temperature monitor is a temperature indicator with either high or low alarms. The six input
channels accept independent thermocouple inputs, and there is
an individual setpoint for each channel. In operation, the CN100
will scan each channel for 4 to 12 seconds (via side adjustment),
and the display will indicate the temperature measured by the
individual thermocouples. A red LED indicates an alarm condition; in the event of an alarm, scanning is halted and the relay deenergizes, until the manual reset button is depressed. The
CN101 models are high temperature alarms, while the CN102
units will alarm on low temperatures.
The CN102 models also feature a built-in cold start alarm
suppression. When the “START UP” LED is lit, the alarm action
is suspended until the temperatures of each input reach their
respective setpoints. Power failures for less than 30 minutes do
not affect the start-up operation.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1UNPACKING
Remove the packing list and verify that all equipment has been
received. If there are any questions about the shipment, please
call OMEGA Customer Service Department.
Upon receipt of shipment, Inspect the container and equipment for any signs of damage. Take particular note of any
evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any
damage to the shipping agent.
NOTE
The carrier will not honor any claims unless all
shipping materiel is saved for their examination.
After examining and removing contents, save
packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
2.2CONTROLLER LOCATION
Select a location for the controller that is free from excessive
shock, vibration, dirt, moisture, and oil. The ambient temperature should be between 30° and 130°F(-1° and 54°C).
2.3MOUNTING
Mount the controller into a 3 5/8” (92mm) square cutout. Refer
to Figure 2-1 for the cutout and case dimensions. The plugin controller does not have to be removed from its housing for
mounting.
Remove the two screws that hold the mounting slides; then
remove the slides. Insert the case into the cutout from the
front side of the panel and reinstall the two slides and two
screws. The length of the slides must be reduced if the controller is to be mounted in an extra thick panel. If the controller has been unplugged from its housing, the top of the housing can be determined by the serial tag.

2.4WIRING POWER CIRCUIT
The controller operates on either 120 or 240 VAC, 50 to
60Hz line voltage when connected to the proper terminals.
Incoming power lines should be properly fused. Refer to
Figure 2-2.
NOTE
Fuse incoming high side of line with fast blow fuse
of appropriate rating. Shorted heater or wiring will
destroy the relay or output Triac.
2.5SENSOR PLACEMENT
Proper sensor placement is essential. It can eliminate
many problems in the total system. The probe should be
placed so that it can detect any temperature change with
little thermal lag. In a process that requires fairly constant
heat output, the probe should be placed close to the heater.
In processes where the heat demand is variable, the probe
should be close to the work area. Experimenting with probe
location can often provide optimum results.
In an ice bath process, the addition of a stirrer will help to
eliminate lags. Some RTD’s are shock sensitive and
require care in handling and installation.

2.2SET UP PROCEDURE
Wire the instrument as shown in Figure 2-2. Observe polarity
(on the thermocouples red is always negative, on RTDs black
is negative) and short all the unused zone inputs (do not short
the analog output). Turn all the setpoints fully CW on CN101
models and CCW on the CN102 models. Power up the
instrument. If any zone alarms, check for open thermocouples or setpoints turned the opposite way. Correct the
problem and push the RESET button. Observe the scanning
rate and readjust if needed at the side of the instrument. Push
the SET button and release. The green light should appear for
about 10 seconds and the display indicates the setpoint Adjust
the setpoint of the indicated zone to the desired alarm temperature. If more time Is needed, push the SET button to get
an additional 10 seconds. Wait for the green light to disappear
and repeat the procedure for all used zones. For unused
zones, leave the setpoints fully CW for CN101 models and
fully CCW for CN102 models.

SECTION 3 OPERATION
3.1OPERATION
The typical control system contains the sensor, controller and
the process. The thermocouple sensor produces a small
voltage change proportional to the measured temperature of
the process. An RTD produces a change in resistance
proportional to the measured temperature of the process.
This is linearized in a unique active circuit, and amplified by the
controller, where it is compared with setpoint temperature. If
the temperature of the sensor is above setpoint, the output
circuitry will be actuated. This is indicated by means of an LED
light. The digital meter displays the sensor’s process temperature, and when switched, displays the alarm setpoints.
Six zones share common amplifier and display.

3.1.2RELAY OUTPUT
The output relay has SPDT contacts rated 5 amps at 120V
and 3 amps at 240 VAC. These contacts can be wired to
provide power to the alarm. This is a latching relay.
3.2ADJUSTING SETPOINTS
Six setpoint adjustments are located on the faceplate. These
are 15-turn potentiometers with slotted shafts. A small screwdriver is required.
3.3ADJUSTING SCAN TIME
This adjustment is located on the side of the instrument. It is a
15-tum potentiometer with slotted shaft CW rotation increases the scan time.
SECTION 4 SERVICE INFORMATION
4.1MAINTENANCE
Some simple preventative maintenance will keep the
controller operating properly:
1. Keep the controller clean and protected from dirt, oil and
corrosion.
2. Periodically recheck all electrical connections.
4.2TEST PROCEDURE

0
F (25 ±50C). Refer
to Figure 4.1.
10. Turn all setpoint controls 10 turns clockwise.
11. If the alarm light (red) is on, push the RESET button and
remove the alarm.
12. Observe that zone light scans sequentially from zone to
zone without skipping any zones.
13. Turn the scan time control fully CW (about 20 turns) and
observe that the scan rate is more than 12 seconds.
14. Turn the scan time control fully CCW and observe that the
scan rate is between 2-5 seconds.
15. Set the scan time at 5 seconds ±1 second.
16. When the scan light comes to zone 1, push the set switch
and observe that the green setpoint light comes on. Observe that the light stays on for 7-15 seconds and the zone
scan light stays on zone 1 as long as green light is on.
17. Push the SET button and turn the setpoint control fully
CCW; observe that indication goes to 0000 -0 +2.
18. Observe that the alarm light comes on and ohmmeter
resistance measures HI (open).
19. Push the SET button and turn the setpoint control fully CW.
Observe that the display rises gradually from 0 to full range
of the instrument.
20. Push the RESET button and observe that the RESET light
is off and the instrument resumes scanning.
21. Repeat steps 17 through 20 for other channels.
22. Switch the power on and off several times and observe that
the unit does not go to alarm condition.
23. Disconnect the thermocouple short from zone 1 and
observe that when the scan light comes to zone 1, the
instrument indicates alarm, the meter reeds full scale, and
the scanning has stopped.

4.2.3 Calibration Temperature
1. After the instrument has been warmed up for 15
minutes,
attach proper thermocouple or RTD wire to zone 1.
2. Connect the other end of the wire to the thermocouple
signal generator. Select proper cold junction compensation. Refer to Figure 4-2. For RTD version use precision
decade resistance box.
3. Bring the instrument to alarm condition by setting the
millivolt or resistance signal higher than the range of the
instrument. This will stop the scanning and keep the
instrument latched to the zone being calibrated.
4. Set the millivolt source or decade resistance box to low
calibration point as indicated on the calibration tables.
5. Adjust the LO calibration potentiometer on the side of
the instrument to read the proper typical value ±1
0
C.
±1
6. Set the millivolt source or decade resistance box to high
calibration point as indicated on the calibration tables.
7. Adjust the Hi calibration potentiometer on the side of the
instrument to read the proper typical value ±1
0
C.
±1
8. If large adjustments are made on HI calibration potentiometer, repeat steps 4 through 7 until all errors are
eliminated.
9. Check all calibration points on the table to be within
±.25% of the typical calibration.
10.Measure that the DC voltage output corresponds to the
calibration table. For RTD version, check resistance
output.
