Installation and Wiring 2.1
Electrical code requirements and safety standards should be observed and
installation performed by qualified personnel.
The electronic components of the instrument may be removed from the
housing during installation. To remove the components, grip the side edges
of the front panel and pull the instrument forward. During reinstallation, the
vertically mounted circuit boards should be properly aligned in the housing.
Ensure that the instrument is correctly orientated. A stop will operate if an
attempt is made to insert the instrument incorrectly.
Recommended panel opening sizes are illustrated in Figure 2-1. After the
opening is properly cut, insert the instrument into the panel opening. Ensure that the panel gasket is not distorted and that the instrument is positioned squarely against the panel. Slide the mounting clamp into place on
the instrument (see Figure 2-3, page 11) and push it forward until it is
firmly in contact with the rear face of the mounting panel.
Note: The mounting clamp tongues may engage either on the
sides or the top/bottom of the instrument housing. Therefore, when
installing several instruments side-by-side in one cut out, use the
ratchets on the top/bottom faces.

Preparation for Wiring 2.2
2.2.1 WIRING GUIDELINES
Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The
following are guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of
noise upon any instrumentation.
2.2.1.1 INST ALLA TION CONSIDERATIONS
Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the
industrial environment:
• Ignition Transformers
• Arc Welders
• Mechanical contact relay(s)
• Solenoids
Before using any instrument near the device listed, the instructions below
should be followed:
1.If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the
listed devices, separate them by the largest distance possible. For
maximum electrical noise reduction, the noise generating devices
should be mounted in a separate enclosure.
2.If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with
solid state relays. If a mechanical relay being powered by an
instrument output device cannot be replaced, a solid state relay can
be used to isolate the instrument.
3.A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should
be considered. The transformer can isolate the instrument from noise
found on the AC power input.
4.If the instrument is being installed on existing equipment, the wiring in
the area should be checked to insure that good wiring practices have
been followed.
MIC 1167/1807/1407 ManualEdition 112
Page 13
2.2.1.2 AC POWER WIRING
Neutral (For 115 VAC)
It is good practice to assure that the AC neutral is at or near ground potential. To verify this, a voltmeter check between neutral and ground should be
done. On the AC range, the reading should not be more than 50 millivolts.
If it is greater than this amount, the secondary of this AC transformer supplying the instrument should be checked by an electrician. A proper neutral
will help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.
2.2.1.3 WIRE ISOLATION
Four voltage levels of input and output wiring may be used with the unit:
• Analog input or output (i.e. thermocouple, RTD, VDC, mVDC, or mADC)
• SPDT Relays
• SSR driver outputs
• AC power
The only wires that should run together are those of the same category. If
they need to be run parallel with any of the other lines, maintain a minimum
6 inch space between the wires. If wires must cross each other, do so at
90 degrees. This will minimize the contact with each other and reduces
“cross talk”. “Cross Talk” is due to the EMF (Electro Magnetic Flux) emitted
by a wire as current passes through it. This EMF can be picked up by
other wires running in the same bundle or conduit.
In applications where a High Voltage Transformer is used (i.e. ignition systems) the secondary of the transformer should be isolated from all other
cables.
This instrument has been designed to operate in noisy environments, however, in some cases even with proper wiring it may be necessary to suppress the noise at its source.
2.2.1.4 USE OF SHIELDED CABLE
Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires.
All analog signals should be run with shielded cable. Connection lead
length should be kept as short as possible, keeping the wires protected by
the shielding. The shield should be grounded at one end only. The preferred grounding location is the sensor, transmitter or transducer.
13
MIC 1167/1407/1807 ManualEdition 1
Page 14
2.2.1.5 NOISE SUPPRESSION AT THE SOURCE
Usually when good wiring practices are followed no further noise protection
is necessary. Sometimes in severe electrical environments, the amount of
noise is so great that it has to be suppressed at the source. Many manufacturers of relays, contactors, etc. supply “surge suppressors” which mount
on the noise source.
For those devices that do not have surge suppressors supplied, RC (resistance-capacitance) networks and/or MOV (metal oxide varistors) may be
added.
Inductive Coils - MOV’s are recommended for transient suppression in
inductive coils connected in parallel and as close as possible to the coil.
See Figure 2-4. Additional protection may be provided by adding an RC
network across the MOV.

Page 15
Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and
closes. This results in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts.
Connecting a RC network properly sized can eliminate this arc.
For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and 0.1
microfarad capacitor (1000 volts) is recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5
amps, connect 2 of these in parallel. See Figure 2-5, page 12.

2.2.2 SENSOR PLACEMENT (Thermocouple or RTD)
Two wire RTD’s should be used only with lead lengths less than 10 feet.
If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive condi-
tions, it should be protected by the appropriate thermowell. The probe
should be positioned to reflect true process temperature:
In liquid media - the most agitated area
In air - the best circulated area

Input Connections 2.3
In general, all wiring connections are made to the instrument after it is
installed. Avoid Electrical Shock. AC power wiring must not be connected
to the source distribution panel until all wiring connection procedures are
completed.
Caution: This equipment is designed for installation in an enclosure
which provide adequate protection against electric shock. Local
regulations regarding electrical installation should be rigidly observed. Consideration should be given to prevention of access to the
power terminations by unauthorized personnel. Power should be
connected via a two pole isolating switch (preferably situated near the
equipment) and a 1 A fuse, as shown in Figure 2-7, below.
FIGURE 2-7
Main Supply
The instrument will operate on 90-264V AC 50/60 Hz mains (line) supply.
The power consumption is approximately 4 VA. If the instrument has relay
outputs in which the contacts are to carry mains (line) voltage, it is recommended that the relay contact mains (line) supply should be switched and
fused in a similar manner but should be separate from the instrument
mains (line) supply .

3.1.5.3 RAMPING SETPOINT
A selectable Ramp Rate function in the range of 1 to 9999 units per hour
can be used to limit the rate at which the setpoint used by the control algorithm will change. This feature will also establish a soft start up. Upon
power up, the instrument will take the initial process value as the setpoint.
A setpoint ramp rate will be calculated to increase the setpoint from the
initial process value to the setpoint selected. The setpoint ramp feature
disables the Pre-Tune facility. The Auto-T une facility, if selected, will commence only after the setpoint has completed the ramp.
Sudden changes in the setpoint value entered via the keypad can be inhibited from effecting the control outputs by use of this feature. The internal
setpoint used to control the process will ramp to the setpoint value entered
at the rate of change selected.
To view the Ramping Setpoint value while in the Control mode and "ESPr"
in the T une mode is disabled, press the SCROLL key until "SPrP" is displayed in the lower display. This is the code for the ramping setpoint value.
Press the SCROLL key one more time and the lower display shows "SPrP"
and the upper display will show the current ramping setpoint.

** On power-up, an "alarm" condition may occur, based on the alarm value,
the process variable value and, if appropriate to the alarm type, the (active)
setpoint value. This would normally activate an alarm; however, if the pertinent alarm is inhibited, the alarm indication is suppressed and the alarm
will remain inactive. This will prevail until the "alarm" condition returns to
the "inactive" state, whereafter the alarm will operate normally.
Also, during dual setpoint operation, whenever there is switching from
Setpoint 1 to Setpoint 2 (or vice versa), similar alarm suppression will occur, if the pertinent alarm is inhibited.

** When enabled, allows user to change ramp rate without having to enter
Tune mode.
Pre-Tune Mode 3.3
The Pre-Tune mode may be used to set the instrument's PID parameters to
values which are approximately correct, in order to provide a base from
which the Auto Tune mode may optimize tuning.
To engage the Pre-Tune mode, with the instrument in Control mode, press
and hold the UP and DOWN keys for approximately 5 seconds (the display
will flash during this period) until the AT LED flashes once. Release the UP
and DOWN keys. Press and hold the SCROLL key for approximately 3
seconds until the AT LED flashes.
To disengage the Pre-Tune mode, press and hold the UP and DOWN keys
until the AT LED flashes once. Release the UP and DOWN keys. Press
and hold the SCROLL key for approximately 3 seconds until the AT LED is
continuously OFF.
Note: Since the Pre-Tune mode is a single-shot operation, it will automatically disengage itself once the operation is complete. If the Enable Pre-Tune parameter in the T une mode is enabled, then upon a
power interruption, the unit will first engage the Pre-Tune mode prior
to engaging the Auto-Tune mode when power is restored.
Also note: The Pre-Tune mode will not engage during setpoint ramping. Additionally, if the process variable is within 5% of input span
from the setpoint, or if an incorrect key sequence is used, the PreTune mode will not be engaged.

Auto-Tune Mode 3.4
The Auto-Tune mode is used to optimize tuning while the instrument is
operating. While Auto-Tune is active, the instrument operates in PI mode.
Manual adjustment of the PID terms provides all the normal benefits of our
Open Loop VMD control. Auto-Tune now improves on this in two ways:
a) Auto-Tune selects optimal values for the Proportional Band and
Integral Time Constant (Auto Reset).
b) Auto-Tune interacts with the control software to provide even
tighter control than is possible under manual tuning conditions, while
still keeping valve activity to a minimum.
Notes
1. When Auto-Tune is disengaged, all the benefits of tighter control are
retained while the PID terms are left unchanged. Once any manual adjustments are made to Proportional Band, Integral Time Constant (Auto Reset),
or Derivative T ime Constant (Rate), the instrument reverts to conventional
Open Loop VMD control.
2. If Minimum Motor ON time (display code "tON") is set equal to 00 seconds, the valve activity minimization strategy will not operate.
To engage the Auto-Tune mode, with the instrument in Control mode, press
and hold the UP and DOWN keys for approximately 5 seconds (the display
will flash during this period) until the AT LED flashes once. Release the UP
and DOWN keys. Press and hold the AUTO/MAN key for approximately 3
seconds until the A T LED lights continuously.
Note: If the Enable Pre-Tune parameter in the Tune mode is enabled,
then on power-up, the unit will automatically engage the Pre-Tune
mode prior to engaging the Auto-Tune mode when power is restored.
To disengage the Auto-Tune mode, press and hold the UP and DOWN keys
until the AT LED flashes once. Release the UP and DOWN keys. Press
and hold the AUTO/MAN key for approximately 3 seconds until the AT LED
is continuously OFF.

Manual Tuning Method 3.5
Before starting to tune the instrument to the load, check that the Setpoint
Upper and Lower Limits (SPuL and SPLL) are set to safe levels.
The following technique is used to determine values of Proportional Band
(Pb) and Integral Time Constant (ArSt). It is recommended that the Derivative Time Constant (rAtE) is always set to 0 seconds, in order to avoid excessive valve activity .
Note: This technique is only suitable for processes which will not be
harmed by large fluctuations in the process variable. It provides acceptable
values, from which to start fine tuning, for a wide range of processes.
1. Adjust the setpoint to the normal operating value (or to a lower value, if
overshoot beyond this point is likely to cause damage).
2. Set the Proportional Band (Pb) to 0.5%.
3. Set the Integral Time Constant (ArSt) to 99mins 59secs.
4. Set the Derivative Time Constant (rAtE) to 0 seconds.
5. Set the Motor Travel Time (tr) to the time required for the valve to travel
from "fully closed" to "fully open" (or vice versa).
6. Set the Minimum Motor ON Time (tOn) to the minimum motor travel
required.
7. Ensure that the valve is positioned away from its end stops; manual
control may be used to set the valve position.
8. Follow the instructions in Figure 3-1. At each stage, allow sufficient
settling time before moving on the next stage.
Note: After setting up the parameters, set the instrument to Control mode
to prevent unauthorized adjustment to the values.

Control Capability 4.1
A variety of user programmable control features and capabilities are available including:
• Auto Tune
• Alarm Functions
• Auto/Manual Switching
• Process Retransmission
• Setpoint Retransmission
• Setpoint Ramp Rate
The capabilities available in a specific unit are dependent upon the hardware options specified when the instrument is ordered. Refer to Appendix
F for the decoding of the instrument model number.
Setpoint Adjustment 4.2
To adjust the setpoint with the instrument in the Control mode, press the
UP key to raise the setpoint and the DOWN key to lower the setpoint.
Depressing the SCROLL key, if setpoint ramping is enabled and if ramp
rate is not OFF will change the displays to:
This parameter is used to filter out any extraneous impulses on the process
variable. This filtered PV is used for all PV-dependent functions (control,
alarm, etc). The time constant is adjustable from 0.0 seconds (of f) to 100.0
seconds, in 0.5 second increments. Default value is 2.0 seconds. Display
code is FiLt.
Input Correction
This parameter is used to modify the actual process variable and is adjustable in the range ± input span. Default value is 0. Display code is iCor.
Proportional Band
This parameter is the portion of the input span over which the valve movement is proportional to changes in the displayed process variable value. It
may be adjusted in the range 0.5% to 999.9%. Default value is 5.0%. Display code is Pb1.
Automatic Reset (Integral)
This parameter is used to bias the proportional output to compensate for
process load variations. It is adjustable in the range 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds per repeat. Decreasing the time increases the Reset.
Default value is 99min 59sec. Display code is ArSt.
Rate (Derivative)
This parameter is adjustable in the range 00 seconds to 99 minutes 59
seconds and specifies how the control action responds to the rate of
change in the process variable. Default value is 0.0. Display code is rAtE.
Setpoint Upper Limit
This parameter is the maximum limit for setpoint adjustment. It should be
set to a value which prevents the setpoint being given a value which will
cause damage to the process. The range of adjustment is to Maximum
Input Range. Default value is Range Maximum. Display code is SPuL.
MIC 1167/1807/1407 Manual
44
Edition 1
Page 45
Setpoint Lower Limit
This parameter is the minimum limit for setpoint adjustment. It should be
set to a value which prevents the setpoint being given a value which will
cause damage to the process. The range of adjustment is to Minimum
Input Range. Default value is Range Minimum. Display code is SPLL.
Process Output Upper Value
This parameter defines the value of the retransmitted output (process variable or setpoint , whichever is applicable) at its maximum value; for example, for a 0-5V output, this value corresponds to 5V. It may be adjusted
within the range -1999 to 9999. The decimal position is always the same
as that for the process variable input. Default value is Input Range Maximum. Display code is Pou.
Note: If this parameter is set to a value less than that for the Process Output Lower Value, the relationship between the process variable/setpoint
value and the retransmission output is reversed.
Process Output Lower V alue
This parameter defines the value of the retransmitted output (process variable or setpoint, whichever is applicable) at its minimum value; for example, for a 0-5V output, this value corresponds to 0 V. It may be adjusted
within the range -1999 to 9999. The decimal position is always the same
as that for the process variable input. Default value is Input Range Minimum. Display code is PoL.
Note: If this parameter is set to a value greater than that for the Process
Output Upper Value, the relationship between the process variable/setpoint
value and the retransmission output is reversed.
Motor T ravel Time
This parameter is used to select the time taken for the valve to travel from
one physical end stop to the other. It is important that this time reflects the
physical travel limits of the valve. It may be adjusted within the range of 5
seconds to 5 minutes in 1 second increments. Display code is tr and the
default is 1 minute.
Edition 1MIC 1167/1807/1407 Manual45
Page 46
Minimum Motor ON Time
This parameter defines the minimum drive effort allowed to initiate valve
movement, if the valve was previously stationary. This parameter is used
primarily to ensure that valve frictional and inertial effects do not cause
controller drive to be ignored by the valve.
If Auto-Tune is OFF, this parameter can be used to influence valve activity.
Larger values reduce valve activity but increase the risk of the process
variable oscillating about the setpoint. Auto-Tune monitors on-control valve
activity and will minimize it automatically. Too large a value of Minimum
Motor ON T ime can impair the ef fectiveness of the Auto-Tune facility. If
process variable oscillations persist while Auto-Tune is running, it may be
for this reason. Default value is 1 second. Adjustment is in the range of 0.0
seconds to Motor Travel Time (in seconds) divided by 10. Example: Motor
Travel Time set to 4 minutes; Maximum Minimum Motor ON Time equals
240/10 or 24 seconds. Display code is tOn.
Process High Alarm 1 Value
This parameter, applicable only when Alarm 1 is selected to be a Process
High alarm, defines the process variable value at or above which Alarm 1
will be active. Its value may be adjusted between Input Range Maximum
and Input Range Minimum. Its default value is Input Range Maximum.
Display code is PHA1.
Process Low Alarm 1 Value
This parameter, applicable only when Alarm 1 is selected to be a Process
Low alarm, defines the process variable value at or below which Alarm 1
will be active. Its value may be adjusted between Input Range Maximum
and Input Range Minimum. Its default value is Input Range Minimum.
Display code is PLA1.
Band Alarm 1 Value
This parameter, applicable only if Alarm 1 is selected to be a Band Alarm,
defines a band of process variable values, centered on the setpoint value.
If the process variable value is outside this band, the alarm will be active.
This parameter may be adjusted from 0 to span from the setpoint. The
default value is 5. The display code is bAL1.

Edition 1
Page 47
Deviation Alarm 1 Value
This parameter, applicable only if Alarm 1 is selected to be a Deviation
High/Low Alarm, defines a value above (positive value - Deviation High
Alarm) or below (negative value - Deviation Low Alarm) the setpoint; if the
process variable deviates from the setpoint by a margin greater than that
defined by this parameter , Alarm 1 goes active. This parameter may be
adjusted in the range ± span from setpoint. The default value is 5. Display
code is dAL1.
Process High Alarm 2 Value
This parameter, applicable only when Alarm 2 is selected to be a Process
High Alarm, defines the process variable value at or above which Alarm 2
will be active. Its value may be adjusted between Input Range Maximum
and Input Range Minimum. Its default value is Input Range Maximum.
Display code is PHA2.
Process Low Alarm 2 Value
This parameter, applicable only when Alarm 2 is selected to be a Process
Low Alarm, defines the process variable value at or below which Alarm 2
will be active. Its value may be adjusted between Input Range Maximum
and Input Range Minimum. Its default value is Input Range Minimum.

Loop Alarm Enable
This parameter is the means by which the user can enable or disable the
Loop Alarm. The Loop Alarm is a special alarm which detects faults in the
control feedback loop by continuously monitoring process variable response to the control output(s).
The Loop Alarm, when enabled, repeatedly checks an estimated valve
position for saturation (i.e. the valve having been driven in one direction for
a time greater than the Motor Travel Time). If the valve is found to be in
saturation, the Loop Alarm facility starts a timer; thereafter, if the saturated
valve has not caused the process variable to be corrected by a pre-determined amount V after a time T has elapsed, the Loop Alarm goes active.
Subsequently, the Loop Alarm facility repeatedly checks the process variable and the valve. When the process varaible starts to change value in the
correct sense or when the valve comes out of saturation, the Loop Alarm is
de-activated.
The Loop Alarm Time T is always set to twice the value of the Auto Reset
parameter.
The value of V is dependent upon the input type:
Deg C:2°C or 2.0°C
Deg F:3°F or 3.0°F
Linear Range:10 least significant display units
Notes:
1. Correct operation of the Loop Alarm depends upon reasonably accurate
PID tuning.
2. The Loop Alarm is automatically disabled during Manual Control mode
and during execution of the Pre-Tune mode. Upon exit from Manual mode
or after completion of the Pre-Tune routine, the Loop Alarm is automatically
re-enabled.

Appendix C
Hardware Definition Code
The Hardware Definition Code is used to represent the hardware installed
(input type, Output 1 type, Output 2 type and Output 3 type); this must be
compatible with the hardware actually installed. It can be accessed, with
the instrument in Program mode, by simultaneously depressing the DOWN
and SCROLL keys. The displays will show "XXXX" (where X represents
any number) in the upper display and "dEFn" in the lower display, where:
the first (left-most) digit is input type:
1=RTD/Linear mV
2=Thermocouple
3=Linear DC mA
4=Linear DC V
the second digit is Output 1 type:
1=Relay
the third digit is Output 2 type:
1=Relay
the fourth digit is Output 3 type:
0=Output 3 not installed
1=Relay (alarm only)
2=SSR (alarm only)
3=DC 0-10V (retransmit only)
4=DC 0-20mA (retransmit only)
5=DC 0-5V (retransmit only)
7=DC 4-20mA (retransmit only)
The displayed code may be incremented/decremented using the UP/
DOWN keys as required. The maximum setting available is 4117. For
example, the code for a thermocouple input and relay Output 3 would be
2111. When the code is first altered, the code display will flash, until the
desired value is displayed and confirmed by pressing the Auto/Manual key.
MIC 1167/1807/1407 Manual

Edition 1
Page 61
While the Hardware Definition Code is displayed, depressing the SCROLL
key will cause the display to change to:
nonEorr485orduAL
OPtnOPtnOPtn
Where nonE indicates the absence of the communications option, r485
indicates the presence of the communications option, or duAL, indicates
the presence of the dual setpoint option.
NOTE: It is essential that this code is changed whenever there is a change
to the instrument's hardware configuration (change of input/output type,
alarm/retransmit output added/removed etc.). The instrument's software
depends upon this code to ensure that the instrument operates correctly.
This code may be viewed as a READ ONL Y display in Control mode by
simultaneously depressing the DOWN and SCROLL keys.
To exit from the Hardware Definition Code display, depress the DOWN and
SCROLL keys simultaneously.
