WarrantyInside back cover
The instrument is a microprocessor based circular chart Recording Profile Controller capable
of measuring, displaying, recording and controlling Relative Humidity and/or Temperature
using Dry Bulb and Wet Bulb temperatures from a variety of inputs. Two process sensor input
terminal boards are provided on each instrument. To perform the Relative Humidity calculations both inputs must be the same type. (2- RTD, 2-J T/C, for best results a matched pair of
sensors should be used). The instruments can be specified as either a single or as a dual pen
model. The second pen can be selected as a profile control or a single setpoint control.
Recording, control functions, alarm settings, profile entry and other parameters are easily
entered via the keypad. All user data can be protected from unauthorized changes by the
Enable mode security system, and is protected against memory loss, as a result of AC power
outage, by battery back-up.
The process sensor input for each terminal board is user configurable to directly connect to
either thermocouple, RTD, VDC, or mADC inputs. Changes in input type can easily be made
by the user. Thermocouple and RTD linearization, as well as thermocouple cold junction
compensation, are performed automatically. The instrument process variable inputs are
isolated. An isolated 24 VDC regulated transmitter power supply can be provided in the
instrument for use with up to two 4 to 20 mADC process sensor transducers.
PAGE 5
The instrument can be ordered to operate on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC power at 50/60 Hz.
The 230 VAC option includes a switch for selecting either 230 VAC or 115 VAC operation.The
Instrument is housed in a structural foam enclosure suitable for panel or surface mounting.

1.1.2 RECORDING
The instrument records the selected process variable on a 10-inch circular chart. One box of
standard charts is provided with each recorder. Charts are available in a wide selection of
ranges. Chart rotation speed is programmable from 0.1 to 999.9 hours per revolution in 0.1
hour increments. The instrument can be ordered with one or two pens. Pen 1 is red and Pen 2
is green. Pens are the disposable fiber-tip type.
1.1.3 DISPLAYS
Each instrument is provided with a digital display and status indicator for each pen provided
(See Figure 1-1). The display may be configured to display the Dry Bulb Temperature, Wet
Bulb Temperature, or the Relative Humidity as the process value. During configuration the
display(s) is/are used to show the enabled modes of operation and the parameter codes.
The display in the upper right corner is for Pen 1, the display in the lower right corner is for
Pen 2 (if provided). The upper display provides status indication for the Manual mode
operation, Output 1, Output 2, Alarm , Setpoint, negative value, degrees C, degrees F, and
engineering units, Ramp, Soak and six Segment lamps. The lower display( if provided)
includes status indicators for Manual mode operation, Output 1, Output 2 , Alarm, Setpoint,
negative value, degrees C, degrees F, engineering units. (Relative Humidity will be indicated
in engineering units.) See Figure 1-2 (page 7).
Display resolution is programmable for 0.1 or 1 degree for thermocouple and RTD inputs, and
none, one, two or three decimal places for other input types. Relative Humidity will be
indicated as whole numbers only.
1.1.4 CONTROL
The instrument can be provided with relay, solid state relay driver and milliamp DC outputs.
Instruments can be programmed for on-off, time proportioning, current proportioning or
position proportioning control depending upon the output(s) present. Relay(s) and Solid State
Relay Driver(s) may be assigned to be on or off during the profile ramp and soak of a profile
segment. Switching between the Control mode and the Manual mode of operation is easily
accomplished with a dedicated key on the keypad. Switching is bumpless from the Control to
the Manual mode, and while in manual, adjustment of proportional outputs is possible. Each
pen of a dual pen recording controller is provided with its own AUTO/MANUAL key . Other
standard control features include proportional control output limits, setpoint limits, anti-reset
windup and a unique Automatic Transfer function. If configured, the Automatic Transfer
function allows manual control of the proportional output until the process reaches the setpoint
at which time the instrument will go into the Control mode of operation.
1.1.5 ALARM
An Alarm indicator is standard for each pen. Two alarm functions are provided for each pen
and the alarm indicator will light if either alarm for that pen is on. Alarm settings are programmable. Alarm type may be selected as process direct or reverse (high or low), deviation from
setpoint direct or reverse, and deviation band open or closed within the band. Alarm outputs
can be provided by assigning any relay(s) Single Pole/Single Throw (SPST) or Solid State
Relay (SSR) driver to the respective alarm.
1.1.6 PROCESS VALUE RE-TRANSMISSION OUTPUT
If an instrument is specified with mADC current output(s), any of the outputs may be programmed to operate as a process value re-transmission output. The output is scaleable but
can not be used as a control output while assigned as a process value re-transmission output.
1.1.7 DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
The instrument can be ordered with a Digital Communications option that provides the
capability of bi-directional communications with a supervisory computer. A dual pen
instrument can have an individual address selected for each pen.

Preparations for Wiring 2.5
2.5.1WIRING 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.
2.5.1.1 INSTALLATION 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 devices 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 interposed 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.
PAGE 10
2.5.1.2 AC POWER WIRING
Earth Ground
The instrument includes noise suppression components that require an earth ground
connection to function. To verify that a good earth ground being is attached, make a
resistance check from the instrument chassis to the nearest metal water pipe or proven earth
ground. This reading should not exceed 100 ohms.
Neutral (For 115VAC)
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.
2.5.1.3 WIRE ISOLATION/SEGRATION
The instrument is designed to promote proper separation of the wiring groups that connect to
the instrument. The AC power wire terminals are located near the top of the instrument
boards. The analog signal terminals are located near the bottom of the instrument boards.
Maintain this seperation of the wires to insure the best protection from electrical noise. If the
wires need to be run parallel with any other wiring type(s), maintain a minimum 6 inch space
between the wires. If wires must cross each other, do so at 90 degrees to 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.
2.5.1.4 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 at the sensor, transmitter or transducer.
2.5.1.5 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 2-2. Additional protection
may be provided by adding an RC network across the MOV.
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 ohms 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 2-3.

2.5.2 SENSOR PLACEMENT (Thermocouple or RTD)
If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, 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.
THERMOCUPLE LEAD RESISTANCE
Thermocouple lead length can affect instrument accuracy since the size (gauge) and the
length of the wire affect lead resistance.
To determine the temperature error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the following
equation:
Terr = TLe * Lwhere; TLe = value from apropriate Table
L = length of leadwire in thousands of feet

Example
A recorder is to be located in a control room 660 feet away from the process. Usinging 16
AWG, type J themrocouple, how much error is induced?
Terr = TLe * L
TLe = 4.93 (°F/1000 ft) from Table 2
Terr = 4.93 (°F/1000 ft) * 660 ft
Terr = 3.3°F
RTD LEAD RESISTANCE
RTD lead length can affect instrument accuracy. Size (gauge) and length of the wire used
affects lead length resistance.
To determine the temperature error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the following
equation:
Terr = TLe * Lwhere; TLe = value from Table 3 if 3-wire or Table 4 if 2-wire
All wiring connections are typically made to the instrument at the time of installation. Connections are made at the terminal boards provided, two 12 gauge wires maximum, using copper
conductors only, except thermocouple inputs. Terminal blocks are designated TB1 through
TB13. See Figure 2-2 for the terminal block locations. The number of terminal blocks present
on the instrument depend upon the model number/hardware configuration.

Configuration 3.1
After completing installation and wiring of the instrument the configuration (set up) procedures
must be performed to prepare the instrument for operation on the intended application. The
procedures include selecting specific parameters, entering data and possible jumper positioning. Once properly configured the instrument will retain the user selections in memory so this
procedure need not be repeated unless required by changes in the application.
Parameter selections and data entry are made via the front keypad. To ease configuration
and operation, user entered data has been divided up into several sections referred to as
modes. Each mode contains a different type of data or may be used for specific operating
functions. For two pen instruments, some modes are common to both pens. These modes are
as follows:

keypad.
PAGE 22
Prior to first time operation of the instrument, the configuration procedures for the Program
and Tune modes must be performed as applicable. Calibration and Test modes are not used
as part of the instrument configuration or operation. These are used for service and maintenance functions and are discussed in Section 5.6 (page 59) of this manual.
Shipped Configuration/
Jumper Positioning 3.2
Each instrument is factory shipped ready to accept a RTD input on TB 4 and TB 5. All
parameters in each mode are set to default values. These defaults are shown in tabular form
after the description for each mode. Instrument AC power input is as specified in the instrument model number and is shown on the ratings label. The 230 VAC option includes a switch
in the instrument for selecting either 230 VAC or115 VAC input power. If this feature is
provided, verify AC input and switch position before applying power to the instrument.
3.2.1 JUMPER POSITIONING
Jumpers are used to condition the sensor inputs and to provide a security lockout feature. All
jumpers are located on the instrument Processor board. The instrument board layout and
jumper locations and functions are shown in Appendix A-1 (Page 68). Check the jumper
positions in the instrument and verify that they are in the proper position for the intended
application.
The sensor input jumpers JU4, JU5, JU6 and JU7 condition the sensor input signals
and must be used in conjunction with input type selections made in the Program mode
(page 30).
Operation Summary 3.3
3.3.1MODE SELECTION
If the instrument is either in the Off mode or the Control mode repeated pressing and releasing of the SCROLL key will cause the instrument to display the code corresponding to each
mode that is enabled. To enter a mode, while the code is displayed, press the DOWN key. If a
mode does not appear, refer to the Enable mode section for information on how to determine
that the mode is on.
Entry into any mode except the Control, Tune, Manual and Enable modes, will cause the
output(s) to turn off and any process re-transmission value output(s) to be 0 %.
Entry into Off mode will cause the process re-transmission output to remain active.
Start Up Procedures 3.4
All configuration parameters are listed in Tables 3-1 through 3-5.
For a single pen instrument, parameters for each mode are displayed in the upper right
display. If the instrument being configured is a two pen model, a sequence of applicable
parameters will be displayed in the Pen 2 display after the Pen 1 parameters have been
reviewed and configured. After the Pen 2 parameters have been completed, parameters
common to both pens will be configured and displayed in the Pen 1 display.
The instrument is provided with a time out feature. If the instrument is in any mode and no
keypad activity takes place for 30 seconds, the instrument will time out and exit the mode
automatically. The display will become the code for the respective mode. If a mode code is
displayed for 5 seconds with no keypad activity, then the time out will cause the instrument to
proceed to either the Control or Off mode, depending upon which operational state was in use
before entry into the mode.
3.4.1 POWER UP PROCEDURE
PAGE 23
A. Verify that all electrical connections have been properly made before applying
B. For instruments with software revision R2.99 and below
C For instruments with software revision r3.00 and above
power to the instrument.
Upon power up, 77XX will be displayed (X representing digits), then XXXX, then
XXXX, identifying the twelve digit model number as defined in the order matrix.
Next, the EPROM part number will be indicated P-XX. After the EPROM part
number, the software revision level will be displayed in the format rX.XX then
tSt1, tSt2, and tSt3 will be displayed while Test 1 through 3 are executed
automatically. Upon successful completion of these test, oPEr or oFF will be
displayed for about 3 seconds. The mode displayed will be the mode the
instrument was in when the power was turned off. During this time, the operator
may select another mode (Alarm Set, Enable) or non-operational mode (Test,
Program, Cal).
Upon power up, a brief flash on all displays (upper and, if equipped, lower) will
occur to show the instrument is "alive". Then 77XX will be displayed (X representing
digits) then XXXX, then XXXX, identifying the twelve digit model number as defined
in the order matrix. Next, the EPROM part number will be indicated P-XX. After the
EPROM part number, the software revision level will be displayed in the format
rX.XX followed by P.dn (if Pen Action on Power Up, PAPU, in Program Mode is set
to 0, pens go to "home" position at power up). During this display, the decimal point
after the "P" will blink to show the mode is active. Upon successful completion of
this routine, oPEr or oFF will be displayed for about 3 seconds. The mode displayed
will be mode that the instrument was in when the power was turned off. During this
time the operator may select another mode (Alarm Set, Enable) or non-operational
mode (Test, Program, Cal).
D. If any error messages are displayed, refer to Section 5.6 (page 60) for a
definition of the error message and the required action.

4.1.1OFF MODE
In the Off mode, the instrument control and alarm function(s) are turned off. Process retransmission signals remain active. The chart rotation can be selected in the Program mode
to stop or continue to rotate when the instrument is in the Off mode. The pen(s) will remain
active. The Off mode can be entered by pressing and releasing the SCROLL key until the
display reads oFF, then pressing the DOWN key. The display will read oFF and then current
process variable at two second intervals. Entering the Off mode of a dual pen instrument will
cause both pens to enter the Off mode. The second pen display will be blank as the upper
display reads oFF and displays the process value for the second pen at the same time as the
upper display.
4.1.2CONTROL MODE
In the Control mode, the instrument control function(s) and alarm(s) are actively responding to
the process variable as selected in the Program and Tune modes and the chart will be
rotating at the rate selected. The Control mode allows setpoint changes from either local
setpoint (standard) adjustment by an operator at the front keypad or from a remote setpoint
source (optional). Other operations in the Control mode include a lamp test and proportional
output display.
4.1.2.1 LOCAL SETPOINT OPERATION
Single Pen Instruments: The instrument must be in the Control mode to allow setpoint value
to be displayed and adjusted. In the Control mode, to view the setpoint, press and release the
UP or DOWN key. The green LED under the SP label will light to indicate that the displayed
value is the setpoint. To change the setpoint value, press and hold the appropriate key (UP or
DOWN). Press and hold the UP key to increase the setpoint or press and hold the DOWN key
to decrease the setpoint. The setpoint will change slowly at first then faster as the key is held
pressed. If the setpoint will not increase, check the Program mode to see that you are not
trying to increase the setpoint above the setpoint upper limit SPuL. If the setpoint will not
decrease, check the Program mode to see that you are not trying to decrease the setpoint
below the setpoint lower limit SPLL. If the setpoint will not increase or decrease check that
the Setpoint Change mode is on in the Enable mode.
PAGE 43
Dual Pen Instruments:The setpoint of each instrument can be reviewed seperately. PEN 1: To
review and change the local setpoint for Pen 1 press the UP key. The green LED in the
upper display will light indicating that the setpoint value is displayed. The setpoint can now be
raised by pressing and holding the UP key or decreased by pressing the DOWN key. PEN 2:
The setpoint for Pen 2 is viewed and changed in the same manner, except the DOWN key
must be pressed to access the Pen 2 setpoint. The setpoint will change slowly at first then
faster as the key is held pressed. If the setpoint will not increase check the Program mode to
see that you are not trying to increase the setpoint above the setpoint upper limit SPuL. If the
setpoint will not decrease check the Program mode to see that you are not trying to decrease
the setpoint below the setpoint lower limit SPLL. If the setpoint will not increase or decrease
check that the Setpoint Change mode is on in the Enable mode.
4.1.2.2 REMOTE SETPOINT OPERATION (Optional)
Dual Pen Instruments: The Remote Setpoint Option is only available on the second pen of a
dual pen. To use this option, if available, the Program mode selections must be properly
made. The Remote Setpoint parameter rSP must be selected as a 1 or 2 as needed. The
Remote Setpoint Upper rSPu and Lower rSPL parameters need to be selected for the
application. Pen Profiling Configuration parameter PPC must be selected as 1 Pen Profiling
only. The Remote Setpoint signal is connected to the TB5 terminals as shown in Section 2 of
the manual.
Digital Communications: The setpoint can be adjusted from a supervisory computer system.
Dual pen instruments are capable of having independent setpoint adjustments for each pen.
PAGE 44
4.1.2.3 PROFILE CONTROL OPERATION
To start a profile press and release the Scroll key until the number of the profile that is to be
started is displayed. With the desired profile number displayed press either the DOWN or the
RUN/HOLD to start the profile. RUN will be displayed for about 2 seconds to indicate that the
profile is starting. The status lamps will indicate which segment is active and if in the ramp or
soak portion of the segment.
To stop a profile that is running, press the RUN/HOLD key. The display will show hold for
about 2 seconds, then the process value for about 2 seconds and then continue to display this
sequence. The profile timer will stop but the control, alarm and event outputs will remain
active. The profile can be restarted by pressing the RUN/HOLD key. To exit the profile, press
and release the SCROLL key until the display shows oFF or CtrL, then press the DOWN key.
Pressing the DOWN key with oFF displayed will cause the control alarm and events to be
turned off. Pressing the DOWN key with CtrL displayed will abort the profile and begin
controlling the process automatically at the last setpoint value. Event outputs remain in the
state (on or off) they were in prior to aborting the profile.
While a profile is running, it is possible to display additional profile status information. To
activate the Profile Execution Status Display sequence, hold the DOWN key and press the
SCROLL key. This will cause the display to sequence through the following series of display
codes and values:
Display CodeDescriptionValue

4.1.2.4 ON-OFF CONTROL
On-Off control can only be implemented on controllers provided with SPST relay or SSR
driver output(s). On-Off operation can be assigned to either or both output 1 and 2 for each
pen. The On-Off control can be selected as direct or reverse acting. Direct action is typically
used in cooling applications. The output device will turn on when the process value is greater
than the setpoint. Reverse action is typically a heating application. The output device will turn
on if the process value is below the setpoint. A hysteresis adjustment is provided for On-Off
outputs on each pen. This adjustment is in terms of degrees/engineering units and defines the
width of the hysteresis bandwidth about the setpoint. This parameter may also be referred to
as a dead band. Relay chatter can be eliminated by proper adjustment of this parameter.
When operating in On-Off control, the control algorithm will turn the output on or off depending
upon the setpoint, the relative position of the process value, and the hysteresis adjustment.
The respective OUT 1 or OUT2 indicator for the respective pen will illuminate to indicate that
the output device is on.

Remainingthe Profile Loop Count Remaining value.
PAGE 46
4.1.2.5 TIME PROPORTIONING CONTROL
Time Proportioning Control can be implemented on controllers provided with SPST relay or
SSR driver output(s). Time proportioning can be programmed for output 1 and/or 2 for each
pen. Time Proportioning control is accomplished by cycling the output on and off when the
process value is within the proportional bandwidth selected at a prescribed time period. The
time period is selected in the Tune mode by adjusting Ct1 and/or Ct2. The on time is a
percentage of the Cycle Time.
Example:Calculated output % = 40%;Cycle Time adjustment = 20 seconds
4.1.2.6 CURRENT PROPORTIONING CONTROL
Current Proportioning control provides a proportional current output in response to process
value and setpoint. The current output can be selected for direct or reverse operation. Direct
current output control is typically used for cooling applications. The current output will
increase as the process value increases within the proportional bandwidth selected. The
reverse current output control is typically used in heating applications. The current output will
decrease as the process value increases within the proportional bandwidth selected.
The instrument can be programmed to provide 0 to 20 mADC or 4 to 20 mADC current
output(s). The output selected is dependent upon the final control element being used in the
process.
4.1.2.7 POSITION PROPORTIONING CONTROL
Position Proportioning control can be implemented on those controllers provided with two
SPST relay outputs or two SSR Driver outputs and Slidewire Feedback option for the
respective pen. This control implementation can be performed on each pen.
Position proportioning control permits the use of PID control where the final control element is
a modulating device such as a motorized valve. In this form, each of the two required relays
or SSR Drivers will be used to control the valve. One output will be used to open the valve,
the other is used to close the valve. The slidewire feedback is used to provide a signal
relative to the valve armature position to the instrument.
As with the other proportioning control forms, the process input, tuning parameters and the
setpoint are used by the control algorithm to calculate the output % required to correct for the
deviation between setpoint and process.
Output on time = .4 x 20 = 8 seconds
Output off time = .6 x 20 - 12 seconds
Proportional Output 1 Action PIEC on error condition does not apply to position proportioning
control. In an error condition, the unit goes only to 0% output (full closed).
With Position Proportioning control, it may be necessary to adjust the Sensitivity SEnS Tune
mode parameter to reduce or eliminate oscillations of the motor around setpoint . If oscillation
occurs, increase the SEnS value until the motor stops oscillating. If the differential between
the Open and Closed rotation is too large, then decrease the SEnS value. Also, for proper
Position Proportioning operation, it is necessary to specify the actuation time of the valve or
damper from full open to full closed. If the motor has a stroke duration of 60 seconds, change
the value in the Cycle Time parameter Ct1 to 60. This ensures that the controller will move
the motor for the proper amount of time when making adjustments.
4.1.2.8 PROPORTIONAL OUTPUT PERCENTAGE DISPLAY
While in the Control mode, pressing the UP and the Scroll keys at the same time will cause
the display to sequence through a series of display codes and values:
Po1 Percent Output 1 (if applicable)Output 1% value
Po2 Percent Output 2(if applicable)Output 2% value
Proc Process ValueActual Process Value
Each code and output value will be displayed only if the corresponding proportional output is
present. Each code or value will be displayed for 1 second. This sequence of displays will
continue until the SCROLL key is pressed, which will then return the display to the normal
mode. Displays will be sequenced for both Pen 1 and 2 as applicable on dual pen
instruments.
4.1.3 MANUAL MODE FOR PROPORTIONAL OUTPUTS
Manual adjustment of the proportional output(s) can be used to test the operation of the
output(s), while tuning to establish basic process control, or to provide control of the proportional output(s) during the occurance of certain error conditions.
Note: The proportional output(s) do not change automatically in response to changes
in the process while in the Manual mode. Be sure to pay close attention to the process
to avoid damage.
To enter the Manual mode, press and release the AUTO/MAN key for the specific pen. If the
Standby mode is on in the Enable mode and a control output is selected for proportional
control, the instrument will enter the Manual mode. The Manual mode status LED will light for
that pen to indicate that the Manual mode is in use. Shifting from the Control to the Manual
mode is bumpless. The proportional output(s) will stay at the last value(s) calculated by the
control algorithm. Po1 will appear on the display if output 1 is a proportional output or Po2 if
output 1 is not a proportional control.
In order to vary a proportinal output value, press and release the SCROLL key until the
display code for the output is displayed Po1 or Po2. Press the SCROLL key to see the
percentage of output value. Press the UP key to increase the output percentage value. Press
the DOWN key to decrease the output percentage value.
If no keys are pressed, the display will sequence through the following displays:
Po1 if output 1 is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 then the output 1 percentage of output value.
Po2 if output 2 is 3, 4, 5, 6 then the output percentage of output value.
PAGE 47
Proc will be displayed then current process value for that pen.
In order to change a proportional value once the cyclic display begins, press and release the
UP or DOWN key then press the SCROLL key until the display code for the output is displayed Po1 or Po2. Press the SCROLL key again to see the percentage of output value.
Press the UP key to increase the output percentage value. Press the DOWN key to decrease
the output percentage value.
To return to the Control mode of operation from the Manual mode, press the specified AUTO/
MAN key. If the Automatic Transfer feature is selected in the Program mode, the instrument
will switch from the Manual mode to the Control mode when the process value reaches the
setpoint value.
Alarm Operation 4.2
There are two alarms available per pen. The type of alarm is selected in the Program mode
as follows:
1. Process Alarm Direct - the alarm will be on if the process value is greater than the process
value selected.
2. Process Alarm Reverse - the alarm will be on if the process value is less than the process
value selected.
3. Deviation Alarm Direct - the alarm will be on if the process value is greater than the
setpoint plus the deviation value selected.
4. Deviation Alarm Reverse - the alarm will be on if the process value is less than the
setpoint plus the deviation value selected.
5. Deviation Band Alarm Open Within - the alarm will be on if the process value is greater
than one half the deviation band alarm values selected above or below the setpoint.
PAGE 48
6. Deviation Band Alarm Closed Within - the alarm will be on if the process value is less than
one half the deviation band value selected above or below the setpoint.
The alarms will be active while the instrument is in the Control mode. Relay and solid state
relay drivers can be assigned to provide output capability for the alarm functions.
The alarm value (Process deviation or bandwidth) is selected in the Tune mode.
Alarm output chatter can be reduced by using the hysteresis for the alarm outputs adjustable
in the Program mode to create a deadband around the alarm point.
Tune Mode Operation 4.3
Proportional output controllers may require the adjustment (tuning) of the PID and other
related parameters. This provides a means for the instrument’s control algorithm to be
adjusted to meet specific application requirements.
4.3.1 SYSTEMATIC TUNING METHOD
1. Changes in tuning parameters should be made one at a time.
2. After making any changes in tuning parameters, a disturbance should be introduced into
the process so that the process reaction may be observed. This process reaction, or
recovery, will tell whether the tuning parameters provide the desired control. It is usually
easiest to make a step change in setpoint to introduce this disturbance.
3. The change in setpoint, or disturbance, referenced above should be large enough to cause
an observable deviation of process from setpoint. However, this change should not be so
large that it will cause the controller output to proceed to either extreme limit.
4. Controller tuning for optimal control is not hard and fast, BE PATIENT: The process will
take a certain amount of time to react to the setpoint changes during tuning. The amount of
time depends upon the specific process, however, a period of 8 to 12 minutes should be
allowed between changes. The important point to remember is to allow the process to
react completely, do not rush through tuning of the controller. If the complete process
reaction is not observed, optimum control may never be achieved.
5. Time Proportioning control output(s) require the cycle time be adjusted for the application.
Short cycle times typically result in the most accurate process control, but will cause the
quickest wear out of any mechanical components.
6. Leave all other tuning parameters (except for the alarm and barometeric pressure settings)
at the factory default settings. Obtain the best possible process reaction by adjusting the
Proportional Bandwidth parameter. The setting that achieves the best response for the
process should be left in the controller programming, and should be noted on the Software
Reference Sheet in Appendix E (page 80).
7. If there are to be no setpoint or load changes in the process, the Proportional Band
adjustment may be all that is necessary for proper control. If an offset still exists (the
process does not settle out at setpoint with the best possible proportional band adjustment)
Manual Reset may be added to eliminate this offset.
8. Auto Reset may be added to eliminate offsets and improve response to setpoint and load
changes. Increase Auto Reset from 0 in 0.2 increments. Start with a small amount.
Increase this increment if there is no apparent reaction. Remember to allow the process 8
to 12 minutes to react to any changes.
9. If necessary, Rate may be added. Rate is a dynamic tuning parameter. Rate may be
required to compensate for process lags or to help inhibit reset windup when a large
amount of Auto Reset (4 or 5 repeats per minute) is being used.
10. Controller tuning is not hard and fast. It may be necessary to adjust the tuning parameters
over a period of time to obtain optimal control of the process.
4.3.2 ZIEGLER NICHOLS TUNING METHOD
This procedure has been determined empirically to yield 1/4 wave decay tuning parameters
that are determined by watching the system in a sustained oscillation (curve C, page 49, the
ultimate proportional band and ultimate time period) and then using these values from this
sustained oscillation to calculate ideal parameters.
To aid in determining the process oscillation, the instrument configuration parameters can be
adjusted. By reducing the chart upper value Cru and increasing the chart lower value CrL the
resolution of the oscillation can be better observed. Also the chart rotation time Crt can be
reduced to improve the observation of the oscillation cycle times.
Determining Ultimate Proportional Band and Ultimate Time Period
1. Set Manual Reset rSet to 0.0, set ArS1 and ArS2 to 0.0 and set rt1 and rt2 to
0.0.
2. Enter the Control mode of operation, observe the process reaction.
3. Set the Proportional Band (PB) at 100 and upset the process and observe the
response. One easy method for imposing the upset is to move the setpoint for a
few seconds and then return it to its original value.
4. Achieve a response curve similiar to the sustained oscillation (curve C), this is the
Ultimate Proportional Band (UPB) and Ultimate Time Period (UTP).
a) If the response curve from step 3 does not dampen, as in Curve A from
the drawing, the PB is too low. The PB should be increased and step 3
repeated.
PAGE 49
b) If the response in step 3 dampen, the PB is too high. The PB should
be decreased and step 3 repeated.
These values obtained for Ultimate Proportional Band (UPB) and Ultimate Time Period (UTP)
are used to calculate ideal P, PI, PD, PID tuning parameters using the following ZieglerNichols equations:
Proportional only control (P) -
P (Pb) = 2 x UPB (degrees or units)
Proportional plus automatic reset (PI) -
P (Pb) = 2.2 x UPB (degrees or units)
I (ArSt) = 1.2 / UTP (repeats per minute)
Proportional plus derivative (or rate) (PD) -
P (Pb) = 1.7 x UPB (degrees or units)
D (rAtE) = UTP / 8 (minutes)
Proportional plus automatic reset plus derivative (PID) -
P (Pb) = 1.7 x UPB (degrees or units)
I (ArSt) = 2 / UTP (repeats per minute
D (rAtE) = UTP / 8 (minutes)
If an overdamped response is desired, multiply the proportional band by two.

The selected mode will remain in effect if power is interrupted. To return the instrument to
normal operation, CAL 6 must be exited, with mode zero selected, or CAL 1 must be
executed to initialize all parameters.
Mode 0: Normal operating mode.
Mode 1: Cold Junction Compensation temperature will be internally fixed at 0 degrees C by
the software to facilitate linearization testing when using an uncompensated millivolt source to
simulate the thermocouple millivolt input signal .
This calibration mode is only available on dual pen instruments.
Mode 2: Select Mode 2. Exit the Calibration Mode. Enter setpoint (SP) values for Pen 1 and
for Pen 2. The SP for Pen 1 is used as the dry-bulb temperature and the SP for Pen 2 is used
as the wet-bulb temperature. Enter Setpoints (dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures) for a
known Relative Humidity value. Pen 1 or Pen 2 must also be preselected for Relative
Humidity-PEnS=3. Check the display for the pen with PEnS=3 for the Relative Humidity
percentage based on Setpoint selections of Pen 1 and Pen 2. After viewing the Relative
Humidity percentage, enter the Calibration Mode, CAL 6, and select 0 (normal mode) for the
mode selection. Exit the Calibration Mode and return the instrument to the desired mode of
operation. This is a validation of the accuracy of the instrument’s algorithm and Pen 1 and
Pen 2 accuracy where whole numbers are used. The instrument will not control properly while
in this mode.
Note: If the Process Value exceeds 999.9, the leftmost digit will be the letter o with a bar over
it. The other digits will be valid.
PAGE 56
WARNING: It is highly recommended to disconnect all outputs before selecting Mode 2 of CAL 6 as the
instrument will not control properly.
If the mode value can only be set to 0 or 1, only the normal and CJC Temp= 0 are available.

See Appendix A-4 (page 83) .
PAGE 60
To exit the test, press the SCROLL key and tSt7 will be displayed. The existence of a
mADC current output is dependent upon the hardware configuration.
5.5.8 TEST 8 PEN/CHART MOTOR TEST
This test allows the operator to verify that pen and chart motors are functioning properly. No
special test equipment is required.
With tSt8 displayed press and hold the DOWN key, then press the SCROLL key. The display
will show ALL while the test is in progress. This test functions automatically. The chart speed
will be at maximum, approximately 80 seconds per revolution. Starting at the current pen
position, pen 1 will move (sweep) upscale for 2 seconds, then downscale for 2 seconds. Pen
2 (if provided) will sweep in the opposite direction. The pens will continue to cycle until the test
is exited. To exit, press the SCROLL key. The display will show tSt8.
5.5.9 TEST 9 AUXILARY INPUT TEST
This test allows the operator to verify that the auxiliary input(s), if specified, pen position
feedback input(s) are functioning properly.
Auxiliary inputs are the remote setpoint and position proportioning options. With tSt9 dis-
played, press and hold the DOWN key, then press the SCROLL key. The display will show
Ai1, Auxiliary Input 1. By pressing the DOWN key, the instrument will sequence through the
selections for testing: PF1, Ai2, PF2, then back to Ai1 (PF=Pen Feedback). With the desired
input selected, press the SCROLL key. The corresponding value will be displayed. For
software revision R2.99 and below only, the pen position feedback input voltage will be
displayed to the nearest tenth of a millivolt. Manually move the pen up and down scale and
verify that the displayed reading changes from about 0 to 50 millivolts. For software revision
R3.00 and above, the pen position feedback input voltages are disabled and will display a
fixed value of zero. To terminate a particular test, press the SCROLL key. The display will
show tSt9.
5.5.10 TEST A COMMUNICATION HARDWARE TEST (Communications Option)
This test allows the operator to verify that the communications hardware is functioning
properly.
With tStA displayed, press and hold the DOWN key then press the SCROLL key. The display
will indicate SEnd. Press the DOWN key to toggle the display between SEnd and rEC . With
the desired function selected, press the SCROLL key. In the SEnd (send or transmit) mode,
the instrument will repeat the following sequence. First the transmitter will output a logic 1 on
the line for one second. Next the transmitter will change the logic level to 0 for one second.
Then the transmitter will disable for one second. In the rEC (receive) mode, the transmitter is
continuously disabled. In either mode, the instrument will monitor the line and display rEC1
when a logic 1 is on the line or rEC0 when a logic 0 is on the line . In the SEnd mode, the
instrument will display rEC when the transmitter is disabled. To perform an internal test and
verify the basic operation of the hardware, place the instrument in the Send mode and verify
that the display cycles through rEC1, rEC0, and rEC. To verify that the transmitter functions
properly, two LED’s, each with a current limiting resistor, can be connected with opposite
polarity observed to the TB 2 terminals 1 and 2. The following three states should be observed: one LED on, then the other LED on, then both off. Alternately, a load resistor can be
placed on the terminals, and observe that the voltage generated across the load resistor is as
follows: > +3 VDC, then < -3 VDC, and then 0 VDC.
Another method, to test the communications hardware, would be to connect one or more
instruments in the Receive mode to an instrument in the Send mode. All of the instruments in
the Receive mode should have their displays alternating in sync with the instrument in the
Send mode. When the sending instrument displays rEC, the receiving instruments should
display rEC1. To terminate the test, press the SCROLL key for one second. Upon exit, tStA
will be displayed. The existence of the communications hardware is dependent on the
hardware configuration.
Trouble-shooting and Diagnostics 5.6
The Trouble-shooting Guidelines Section consists of two columns. The first column is a list of
some possible instrument conditions. The second column is a list of steps that should improve
the condition. The steps should be performed in order until the condition improves or all the
steps have been completed. If the instrument condition has not improved contact the nearest
Partlow representative or the factory for assistance.
Trouble-shooting should be performed by qualified personnel using the proper equipment and
following all safety precautions. Whenever possible the trouble-shooting should be accomplished with the electrical power disconnected. The instrument contains static sensitive
components so care should be taken to observe anti-static procedures.

Note: Since the 7700 is
available as a one pen unit
with one display, even
though it always has two
inputs, the error routine has
been changed. Any error, in
particular pen or input related
errors, will always be
displayed in the upper
display. The second display,
if present, will be blanked.
Therefore, a sensor break on
either input will be identified
by a SnSr message in the
upper display and outputs for
both pens to to the error

Glossary
Assured Soak
The instrument may be programmed to interupt the Profile Soak segment if the process value
exceeds a selectable deviation from setpoint value. The Profile will restart from where it was
stopped when the process value does not exceed the deviation value selected from setpoint.
Automatic Reset (Integral)
This parameter is used so that the instrument will compensate for process variable deviations
from setpoint that occur when the process load characteristics change. Instructions for
determining the automatic reset settings are given in Section 4.3 (Page 47). Factory default
is.0.0. Display code ArS1 and ArS2.
Automatic Transfer
This feature, if configured, allows manual control of the process until setpoint is reached, at
which point the controller automatically transfers from manual to automatic control. Factory
default value is 0 = no auto transfer. Display code AtFr.
Bumpless Transfer
This feature prevents step changes in proportional outputs when changing from automatic to
manual control only.
PAGE 73
Cycle Time
This Tune mode parameter is used to select the on/off cycle time for time proportioning
outputs (Ct1 for Output 1 and/or Ct2 for Output 2)
Display Filter Factor
This parameter is adjustable from 1 to 20 which represents the number of scans of the
process variable that are averaged together before updating the displayed and recorded
value. The factory default value is 1 = no filtering. Display code dFF.
Dry Bulb
Is the temperature sensor connected to TB4 that provides the ambient temperature input
necessary for Relative Humidity calculations.
Engineering Units Upper and Engineering Units Lower
These Program mode parameters are used with volt and milliamp inputs. The Engineering
Units Upper Euu should be selected as the value to be displayed when the input is at maximum. The Engineering Units Lower EuL should be selected as the value to be displayed
when the input at at minimum.
First Output Position
This parameter is adjustable from -1000 to 1000 units and represents a shift or offset of the
on-off actuation points or proportional band for the first output relative to the normal position.
For example, a negative value could be used to offset an expected overshoot. First Output
Position also shifts the proportional band with respect to the process value range outside of
which integral action is inhibited. Factory default is 0. Display code FoP.
Hysteresis
This parameter is adjustable from 0 to 300 units representing the width of the band (half
above and half below setpoint). Used with ON/OFF or Alarm outputs to reduce cycling. For
instance, with a value of 4 and a setpoint of 70 the output will turn ON when the process
variable drops to 68 and stay ON until 72 is reached, then turn OFF the output. Factory
default = 3. Display code HyAo for Alarm outputs. Display code HyCo for ON/OFF Control
Outputs.
PAGE 74
Input Correction
This parameter is adjustable from -300 to 300 units and is used as a method to compensate
for a linear sensor error. Factory default is 0 = no correction. Display code iCi1 and iCi2.
Manual Reset
This parameter is adjustable from -1500 to 1500 units representing a manual shift of proportional band(s) relative to the normal position. Manual reset is intended to be used when
automatic reset is not used to allow compensation for deviations from setpoint which remain
after the process has stabilized. Factory default is 0. Increasing the value increases the
process variable, i.e. if the process variable stabilizes too low, increase the manual reset
value. Integral action, and conversely reset-windup inhibit apply over the same process value
range regardless of the manual reset value. Display code rSEt.
Pen Action on Power Up
This parameter specifies whether the pen, on a power-up will drive to the "Home Position"
(center of chart), then return to its correct postion. This is done as a cal check. Settings are
0=go to "home" and 1=remain in last position prior to power down. Default is 0.
Platen
The flat surface in the instrument upon which the chart rotates.
Position Proportioning Sensitivity
A percentage of the first output proportional band width (Pb1).
Process Filter Factor
This parameter is adjustable from 1 to 20 which represents the number of scans of the
process variable that are averaged together before updating the process value used for
control purposes. The factory default value is 1 = no filtering. Display code PFF.
Process Retransmission Output
Allows re-transmission of the process variable. Factory default is 0 = not selected. Display
code Pout. If selected, must be assigned to a current output and scaled using Process
Output upper and lower values.
Process Output Upper and Lower Values
(Used in conjunction with process retransmission output)
These parameters specify the process value range over which the assigned current output
will vary in a linear manner from 100% to 0%. If the process value is greater than Pou the
output will be 100%. If the process value is less than PoL the output will be 0%. Factory
default values are 2000 for the upper value and 0 for the lower value. Display codes Pou
(upper) and PoL (lower).
Process Rounding
This parameter is adjustable from 0 to 100 units and is used to round the process value to the
nearest value specified. This is for display only and does not affect the recorded value or
control action. Intended for use where the engineering units span is large, to reduce display
fluctuation. Factory default is 0 = no rounding. Display code Prnd. (e.g. Prnd = 3, Process
Value = -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9....)
Proportional Band (PB)
This parameter is adjustable from 1 to 3000 units (not Percent of span) and represents the
process value range where the proportional output is at a percentage of the full output.
Instructions for determining Pb are given in Section 4.3. Factory default is 100 units. Display
code Pb1 and Pb2. Figures 1 and 2 in this appendix illustrate the position of the proportional
band.
Ramp
A Ramp is the section of a profile segment where the setpoint value is being changed from
the initial value to the value selected over the time period selected. The first Ramp of a profile
will take the process value at the time the profile was started as the initial setpoint value.
Rate (Derivative)
This parameter is adjustable from 0.0 to 10.0 minutes and specifies how the control action
responds to the rate of change in the process variable. For example, if the process variable is
rising rapidly to setpoint, power is turned off sooner than it would be if the rise were slow. In
effect, derivative action anticipates lags within the system and shifts the proportioning band by
an amount determined by the rate of change of the input sensor.
Magnitude of the shift is determined by a derivative time constant. If the time constant is, say
.1 minute (6 seconds), for every unit per second rate of change of the process variable at the
sensor, the proportioning band is moved 7 units in the direction that helps control. Likewise, if
the time constant is 1 minute (60 seconds), for every unit per second rate of change of the
process variable at the sensor, the proportioning band is moved 60 units in the direction that
helps control.
Instructions for determining rate are given in Section 4.3. Factory default is 0.0 Display code
rt1, rt2.
Relative Humidity
Stated as a percentage, Relative Humidity is the ratio of water vapor that is present in the air
to the maximum water vapor that the air can hold at the same temperature.
Second Output Position
This parameter is adjustable form -1000 to 1000 units and represents a shift or offset of the
on-off actuation points or proportional band for the second output relative to the normal
position. A positive value creates a gap where no control outputs are on, a negative value
creates an overlap of control outputs (if the first output position is at the normal position).
Second Output Position also shifts the proportional band with respect to the process value
range outside of which integral action is highlighted (reset-windup inhibit). Factory default is 0.
Display code SoP.
PAGE 75
Segment
A segment refers to a part of a profile. A segment consists of a Ramp and a Soak section.
Soak
A Soak is the section of a profile segment where the setpoint value is at a constant value for
the time period selected.
Wet Bulb
Is the temperature sensor that is kept moist (damp) and is connected to TB 5. This input is
necessary for Relative Humidity calculations.

The Profile Development Worksheet is intended to assist the Profile Recorder
Controller customers. By filling in the worksheet with the application requirements,
profile information can easily be obtained for entry into the instrument. The worksheet is a convenient record of the profile for future use.
A profile is a programmed sequence of setpoint changes over a period of time
(Ramp) and setpoint maintained at a single point for a period of time (Soak). Asequence of a ramp and a soak is referred to as a Segment. A profile can contain from
1 to 6 segments. The instrument can store in memory up to 8 profiles.
The profile controllers can provide timed output relay action while running a profile,
this is called an Event. Events may be selected as on or off as needed during each
Ramp and Soak segment of the profile.
The first step to completing the worksheet is to determine the range of the setpoints
necessary for the application. Fill out the setpoint scale along the left side of the
worksheet. For dual pen profile controller be sure to scale the setpoint range for the
greater range. Remember that the profile ramp will start at the process value indicated when the profile is initiated.
PAGE 85
The next step is to sketch the profile outline on the worksheet. Use the setpoint
scale to determine the setpoint levels. Draw each profile separately on a dual pen
instrument. Be sure to fill in the time periods for each part of the segment in the
boxes provided at the top of each column. The Ramp and Soak time boxes are
located at the top of each column below the setpoint boxes for the segment. There
are boxes at the bottom of each column to indicate the status of events, if used. If
more than six segments are needed for the profile then individual profiles can be
linked to preform sequentially. Linked profiles operate like one long profile.
Profile program information is easily determined by completing the Profile
Developmental Worksheet for the application. The information derived within the
worksheet is directly related to the profile entry parameters of the profile controller.

Sample Profile
The following is a sample profile intended to assist in understanding how the profile recorder
functions. Be sure to disconnect all control outputs before running this profile. This profile
does not make use of the second pen on a dual pen instrument to help keep the profile short.
Press and release the SCROLL key until Prog appears on the display then press the DOWN
key. Press and release the DOWN key until diSp appears then press the SCROLL key. Press
and hold the UP key until the display shows a 5 then press the SCROLL key. Press and
release the Down key until Ptb appears then press the SCROLL key. Press and hold the UP
key until a 3 appears then press the SCROLL key. Press the UP key and Prog will appear.
Press and release the SCROLL key until PEnt appears then press the DOWN key. Perform
the following keystrokes:
With PEnt on the display,
press and release the
SCROLL key until P 1
appears in the display then
press RUN/ HOLD key. The
display will show run, then
display the ramping setpoint
of the profile. This is to
demonstrate how the profile
recorder controller functions.
