CN710/CN730/CN740 Temperature Controller
Instruction Sheet
Thank you very much for purchasing Omega Engineering CN700 Series Temperature Controller. Please read this
instruction sheet before using your controller to ensure proper operation and please keep this instruction sheet handy
for quick reference.
1 Precaution
DANGER! Caution! Electric Shock!
1. DO NOT touch the AC terminals while the power is supplied to the controller to prevent an electric shock.
2. Make sure power is disconnected while checking the unit inside.
3. The symbol
indicates this Controller is protected throughout by DOUBLE INSULATION or REINFORCED
INSULATION (equivalent to Class II of IEC 536).
WARNING!
Mount the controller in a location that will not be subject to excessive temperature, shock, or vibration. All
models are designed for mounting in an enclosed panel.
1. Always use recommended solder-less terminals: Fork terminal with isolation (M3 screw, width is 7.0mm, hole
diameter 3.2mm). Screw size: M3 x 6.5 (With 6.8 x 6.8 square washer). Recommended tightening torque: 0.4 N.m
(4kgf.cm). Applicable wire: Solid/twisted wire of 2 mm
properly.
2. DO NOT allow dust or foreign objects to fall inside the controller to prevent it from malfunctioning.
3. Never modify or disassemble the controller.
4. DO NOT connect anything to the “Not used” terminals.
5. Make sure all wires are connected to the correct polarity of terminals.
6. DO NOT install and/or use the controller in places subject to: Dust or corrosive gases and liquid, high humidity and
high radiation, vibration and shock, high voltage and high frequency
7. Power must be off when wiring and changing a temperature sensor.
8. Be sure to use compensating wires that match the thermocouple types when extending or connecting the
thermocouple wires.
9. Please use wires with resistance when extending or connecting a platinum resistance sensor (RTD).
10. Please keep the wire as short as possible when wiring a platinum resistance sensor (RTD) to the controller and
please route power wires as far as possible from load wires to prevent interference and induced noise.
11. This controller is an open-type unit and must be placed in an enclosure away from high temperature, humidity,
dripping water, corrosive materials, airborne dust and electric shock or vibration.
12. Please make sure power cables and signals from instruments are all installed properly before energizing the
controller, otherwise serious damage may occur.
13. Please do not touch the terminals in the controller or try to repair the controller when power is applied to prevent
an electric shock.
14. Wait at least one minute after power is disconnected to allow capacitors to discharge, and please do not touch any
internal circuit within this period.
15. DO NOT use acid or alkaline liquids for cleaning. Please use a soft, dry cloth to clean the controller.
16. This instrument is not furnished with a power switch or fuse. Therefore, if a fuse or power switch is required, install
the protection close to the instrument. Recommended fuse rating: Rated voltage 250 V, Rated current 1 A. Fuse
type: Time-lag fuse
17. Note: This controller does not provide overcurrent protection. Use of this product requires that suitable overcurrent
protection device(s) must be added to ensure compliance with all relevant electrical standards and codes. (Rated
250 V, 15 Amps max). A suitable disconnecting device should be provided near the controller in the end-use
installation.

5 Operation
There are three modes of operation: operation, regulation and initial setting. When power is applied, the controller will
default to the operation mode. Press
the controller will switch to the initial setting mode. Pressing
forces the controller to return to the operation mode. PV/SV: Sets the temperature set point and displays the
temperature process value. Use

7 Alarm Outputs
Depending on the controller model, there can be up to two alarm outputs. Each alarm output can be configured for
an alarm type listed below. Alarm types are set in the initial setting mode. The alarm output is activated whenever
the process temperature value (PV) is getting higher or lower than the set point of alarm limit.
Set
Value
0 Alarm function disabled Output OFF
Deviation upper- and lower-limit:
1
This alarm output operates when PV value is higher than the setting value
SV+(AL-H) or lower than the setting value SV-(AL-L).

AL-H or lower than setting value AL-L.
Absolute value upper-limit:
6
This alarm output operates when PV value is higher than the setting value
AL-H.
Absolute value lower-limit:
7
This alarm output operates when PV value is lower than the setting value
AL-L.
Deviation upper- and lower-limit with standby sequence:
This alarm output operates when PV value reaches set point (SV value)
8
and the value is higher than the setting value SV+(AL-H) or lower than the
setting value SV-(AL-L).
Deviation upper-limit with standby sequence:
9
This alarm output operates when PV value reaches set point (SV value)
and the reached value is higher than the setting value SV+(AL-H).
Deviation lower-limit with standby sequence:
10
This alarm output operates when PV value reaches the set point (SV value)
and the reached value is lower than the setting value SV-(AL-L).
Hysteresis alarm output:
Heating control: This alarm output operates if PV value is higher than the
11
setting value SV+ (AL-H). This alarm output is OFF when PV value is lower
