4 Special Features

 Auto tuning

This function sets the values necessary for the control system such as PID (proportional band, integral time, derivative time and ratio of cooling/ heating gain) automatically. If the controlled temperature fluctuates constantly after reaching the target temperature, perform auto tuning. Controller calculates optimum control PID and set automatically. Auto tuning may require time depending on the conditions.

1) Select "2" in control operation.

2) Pressing [AT] key to light "AT" indicator and start auto tuning.

3) Pressing [AT] key stops auto tuning. (“AT” indicator turns off)

4) ”AT" indicator turns off when auto tuning is complete. If not completed after 20min. [ERR19] (AT abnormal) occurs.

4 Special Features Continued

 Offset function

This function controls the temperature slide by an offset value from set point temperature. When the circulating fluid travels to the target object, a certain deviation occurs between the temperature just before the object and the set temperature of the product due to the influence of ambient temperature on the piping. In this case, if the deviation is input as the offset value, the temperature of the circulating fluid just before the object can match with the setting value. Internal sensor value for the alarm does not include the offset value. For example, if -0.15 °C is set here, the actual reference temperature for control is lower than the indicated SV by 0.15 °C. Internal sensor value for the alarm does not include the offset value.

 Learning control function

This function lets the product measure the temperature of circulating fluid flowing before temperature target object by an external temperature sensor and adjusts the offset function automatically to the set value at a certain sampling interval. The external temperature sensor needs to be prepared separately by the customer.

1) Install an external temperature sensor to the target object.

2) Select “3” in control operation.

3) Thermo-con controls the external sensor value to the set point.

4) When the temperature is not stable, then set the sampling interval larger.

 External tuning control function

This function makes the temperature of circulating fluid consistent to the external (ambient) temperature all times. This function lets the product measure the temperature from a temperature sensor mounted in the customer preferred location, then it adjust the temperature of the fluid automatically to the temperature detected by the sensor. The separate temperature sensor needs to be prepared separately by the customer.

1) Install an external temperature sensor to the room.

2) Select “4” in control operation.

3) Thermo-con controls the fluid temperature to the ambient temperature.

4) When the temperature is not stable, then set the sampling interval larger.

 Temperature sensor fine control function

This is a function to finely control the measurement temperature of the control sensor within the range of -9.99 to 9.99 °C separate from offset function. Control sensor can be corrected by inputting difference (calibration value) between temperature of standard and that of control sensor. For example, if -0.15 °C is set here, the actual reference temperature for control is lower than the indicated SV by 0.15 °C.

Internal sensor value for alarm = Internal sensor value – Fine control value

 Setting value memory function

Even if the power is turned off the set values are saved and will be restored at power on.

 Upper / Lower temperature limit alarm function

This function raises an alarm when temperature of the circulating fluid is out of allowable upper and lower range. When the alarm is raised, WRN is indicated on LCD. If circulating fluid temperature returns to within allowable upper/ lower range, this alarm is automatically cancelled. The allowable upper and lower range of temperature can be set between 0.1 and 10 °C.

 Output shut off alarm function

The product has a self-check function that can detect faults with the product and interrupts the output to the thermo modules, stopping operation (However, operation continues with ERR 15 and ERR 18). This function gives an alarm if a critical error happens, the display shows ERR and an alarm number. At the same time, the warning output connector gives an output through a relay contact. This warning cannot be removed unless the power is cycled. When the power is being cycled leave at least 3 seconds between turning the power off and turning the power back on.

5 Installation

5.1 Installation

 Pay special attention to the safety of all personnel when installing and

transporting the product.

 Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read

and understood.

 The product is heavy, be careful when installing or moving the product.  Always transport the product using both handles.

5 Installation Continued

 Leakage from the product may damage peripheral equipment. Install a

drain pan under the product to capture leakage. Furthermore, mount devices like a leak sensor on the installed drain pan to detect leakage so that it can alert operators around the area.

 Install the product above 0.6m from the floor.

5.2 Environment

 Do not use in an environment where the product is directly exposed to

water, oil, corrosive gases, chemicals, salt water or steam.

 The product should be installed upright on a stable base.  Do not install the product in a location where the air inlet and air outlet

vents are blocked. Also do not use the product in a sealed enclosure.

 Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.  Do not mount the product in a location where it can be exposed to

prolonged sunlight. Use a protective cover.

 Do not mount the product in a location where it is subject to strong

vibrations and/or shock. Check the product specifications.

 Do not use the product where it can be exposed to strong electrical or

magnetic emissions.

 Do not mount the product in a location where it is exposed to noise

sources (such as discharging equipment, large relay and thyristor).

 Do not mount the product in a location with an altitude of more than

1000 meters.

 Do not mount the product where it is exposed to materials such as

silicone, which may generate harmful gas.

 Install the product in a location where the ambient temperature range is

between 10 to 35°C and the relative humidity range is between 35 to 80%. No dew condensation is allowed on the unit.

 Do not mount the product in a location exposed to radiant heat.

5.3 Mounting

 When mounting the product to a cabinet, use a design which shall hold

the weight at the bottom. Ensure safety with transportation test if the product is to be installed on a transportation device such as a trailer.

 Mount the product using the fixing holes in the front of the product. Use

M5,M6 screws (bolts) or equivalent to the fix the product.

 Be sure to correctly tighten all screws to the required torque.

(M5:3.0Nm, M6:5.2Nm)

5.4 Piping

 Ensure that the power source and the power supply of the product is

turned off (or the power plug must come off )

 Ensure the flow rate of the circulating fluid is as high as possible to

maintain the temperature stability. Therefore, the length of the external piping should be minimized and internal diameter should be as large as possible. Piping must have sufficient strength for the maximum discharge pressure of the circulating circuit.

 Likewise, if a tube is bent or multiple elbow fittings are used, the piping

resistance will increase and the flow rate will decrease. If the flow rate falls, the temperature stability will decrease.

 If installing a tank externally, only a sealed tank should be used. Do not

use an open tank.

 Ensure that the INLET and OUTLET for circulating fluid and facility water

are connected correctly. If any valves are used ensure that they do not restrict the flow, otherwise low flow may cause an alarm.

 When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not enter

inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1.5 to 2 threads exposed on the end of the pipe/fitting.

 Be sure to correctly tighten the fitting fittings to the required torque

(Rc1/4:12 to 14 N･m, Rc3/8:15 to 20N･m).

5.5 Wiring

 Ensure that the power source and the power supply of the product is turned

off before connecting the various connectors and power supply cable.

 Supply disconnecting device according to IEC60974-1 and IEC60947-3

for the product must be provided in the end system.

 Do not install the disconnecting device in the place where the operation

is difficult. And also the switch of the disconnecting device must comply with the direction of the switch specified by IEC60447.

 Preparation and wiring of power supply cable

5 Installation Continued

1) Strip the sheath from both ends of the cable.

2) Disassemble the power supply connector. Crimp one end of the cable to L, N, E inside of the connector, then reassemble the power supply connector.

3) Connect the other end of the cable to a plug or terminals

(e.g. crimped terminal).

 Ensure that there is enough space between the power supply cable and

the communication cable of the product and power cables of other equipment.

 Ensure the power supply and ground connections are made correctly.  Be sure to provide the grounding. The PE line of the power supply cable

is available for grounding. Do not connect the ground in common with the ones for equipment that generates strong electromagnetic noise or high frequency.

 When an external temperature sensor is connected, connect the sensor

with a shield cable. Use a platinum resistant temperature sensor (Pt100ohm, 3-wiring type, class A, 1mA).

 Connect the host to this unit with a twisted pair shield cable when applying

communication function or external sensor and alarm output function.

 When using the Communication connector and Signal/External temperature

sensor, connect the circuit separated from the mains circuit by reinforced insulation.

 Ensure that external instruments connecting to this product provide the

enclosure complied with UL61010-1 and use the cable which provide flame resistance (over VW-1).

5.6 Preparation for facility water

 When the flow rate of facility water is not specified range, acoustic noise

or vibration may be generated, or outlet of facility water become hot.

 When the flow rate of the facility water is not enough, cooling capacity

will decline. Meanwhile, when the flow rate is extremely small, alarm (ERR14) may occur and the temperature of the facility water might be extremely high. If a resin tubing is used for piping under these circumstances, the tubing might get softened and exploded. Therefore, be sure to cool the facility water over time and flow the facility water with a proper flow rate.

 Keep the facility water temperature between 10 and 35°C. (No dew

condensation). Note that the cooling and heating capacity is changed depending on facility water temperature. Also, if lower-temperature facility water is supplied, dew may condense in the product and the equipment could be damaged. Keep the temperature above the atmospheric pressure dew point.

 The maximum operating pressure is 0.5MPa. Keep the pressure as low

as possible to prevent water hammer.

5.7 Filling the product

1. Ensure that the power source and the power supply of the product is turned off (or the power plug must come off).

2. Remove the reservoir cap.

(When setting the product again, confirm the level of fluid does not exceed the “H” mark)

3. If using Ethylene Glycol, refer to the suppliers Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as appropriate.

4. Fill the circulating fluid into the reservoir. Stop filling once the level of fluid reaches the “H” mark.

5. Turn on the power switch to fill the piping with the fluid.

6. When the piping is filled with the circulating fluid, the level of the reservoir decreases and low fluid level alarm (ERR20) arises accordingly. Then, turn off the power supply once again.

7. Repeat the step from 4 to 6 until ERR20 alarm doesn’t appear anymore.

8. Then, replace the cap on the reservoir and tighten it securely.

9. Keep the fluid level between H and L of the level indicator.
