Step 1 – Install Configurator 2.0 on the Local Computer
Configurator 2.0 is a configuration utility developed by SSi that will allow the user to interface with an SSi instrument
directly or over a network. The installation file, ConfiguratorSetup.msi, should be included with the installation CD
provided by SSi. If this file is not on the CD, contact Super Systems at 513-772-0060.
Double-click on the installation file to begin the installation
process.
The first page displayed is just for information purposes.
Click on the Next > button to move to the next page, or
press the Cancel button to cancel the installation.
The second page is a warning about Configurator 2.0.
Since Configurator 2.0 is a Microsoft .Net 2.0 product, the
local computer will have to have the .Net 2.0 framework
installed before Configurator 2.0 can be used. Click on the
Next > button to continue or the Cancel button to cancel
the installation.

Step 2 – Connect the SSi 9120 to a Network or Local Computer
To connect the instrument to the network, through a wall port or switch, use a regular Ethernet cable. To connect the
instrument directly to a computer, use an Ethernet crossover cable. Contact your IT Department for the necessary
cables. Once the SSi 9120 is connected to a network, the Configurator 2.0 software will be able to find it during any
searches. Connecting the instrument to your network or directly to a PC is accomplished using the Ethernet port on the
instrument. If you are connecting the instrument to your network, you will need an Ethernet cable. The cable is plugged
into the instrument Ethernet plug and then other end should be plugged into a network hub. If the IP Address of the
instrument needs to be changed, this can be done through the Configurator software (see Step 3 below). If you are not
putting the instrument on the network, you should use an Ethernet crossover cable. Ethernet crossover cables are most
often used when connecting two Ethernet computers without a hub. An Ethernet crossover cable has its send and receive
wires crossed. When using a hub or switch, this is automatically done for you. With a crossover cable, you are forming a
network between the computer that you are directly plugged into and the SSi 9120. There will be some network settings
on the computer that you will have to configure for the 2 devices to communicate. The SSi 9120 will have the network
setting already setup with the following default IP address – 192.168.0.200. This can be modified through the
Configurator software.
Network settings can be found through the

Deviation alarm is single sided. i.e. a +10 deviation will alarm when the PV is greater than SP + 10 but not neg. A -10
deviation will alarm when the PV is less than SP -10 but not on the positive side.
When set to deviation, the alarm message shows in Configurator below or above. The actual relay setup with that alarm
will only energize depending on the setpoint. For the standard alarms (1, 2, and 3), the user can select if the alarm
condition is for above or below. This will dictate when the relay will energize.
Example: alarm 1 set to plus 10F will alarm 11 degrees above setpoint and pull in the relay. It will show alarm 10 degrees
below but not pull in the relay.
A Band alarm will activate and energize the relay on both sides (+) and (-).
Note: some alarm types may be fixed at the current value
.
Hysteresis
The hysteresis is in degrees, i.e. 10 hysteresis = 10 degrees.
Alarm hysteresis should not have a decimal place. It is in units. If it is a control loop doing on/off control then the decimal
place on the reset (hysteresis) should be ignored. The Hysteresis is a set number that works with the alarm to help
control a motor or pump longer to reach a set amount to come back into band before it will shut off motor or pump.
Example: Using quench oil as an example, assume the SP is 200F. The alarm is set as a deviation of +10F. At 210 the
alarm is active and the pump will run to cool the oil. With a hysteresis of 8 degrees the alarm and pump will turn off at
202F. It will turn back on when it is 10 degrees above setpoint. If the setpoint is still 200 then at 210 it is on again.
Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is from 0 to 9999.
Smart Alarm
This value is a display of the Smart Alarm status. A smart alarm is an alarm that works with a Process Variable and when
enabled it will not be active until the process variable is within band of the setpoint.
Example: If the SP is 1700 and the band is 10 degrees
the alarm will not be active until the PV reaches 1690.
The value can be either disabled or enabled.
ON Delay Time
This value is the ON Delay Time for the Smart Alarm, in
seconds. If the timer is utilized the alarm will not be
active until in band and the timer has timed out (this is in
seconds).
Example: If you select 30, the output will not energize
until 30 seconds after the alarm is active.
Clicking on this value will display an input box from which
the user can select a new value. The range is from 0 to
9999 seconds.
0 SP Blocks Alarm
This value will allow a 0 setpoint to block an alarm. The

Mode
This is the mode of the loop. Clicking on the value will allow the user to change the value.
The following is an explanation of the dual/single and direct/reverse properties:
Dual – This has two output relays which can increase and decrease to achieve your SP.
Single – This has one relay which works in only one direction to achieve your SP.
Direct - If the PV - SP is a positive number and the output would bring the PV down toward setpoint that is direct.
Reverse – If the PV - SP is a negative number and the output would bring the PV up toward setpoint then that is reverse
Example: If a 12 mA output drives a 0 degree F temp. (PV) up to a 1200 degree F temp. (SP) this would be REVERSE
and since this would take a SINGLE output from the controller the Mode for the Temperature Loop is Single Reverse.
The mode values can be:
Dual Reverse; gas/air or heat/cool
Single Reverse; heat
Dual Direct; Dewpoint gas/air
Single Direct; cool
Integral Preset
This field provides an offset for the starting point for PID control, also referred to as “Load Line” or “Manual Reset”.
Clicking on the value will allow the user to change the value. The range for the integral preset is –100 to 100.

Note: The range, although not displayed with a
decimal point, contains a decimal point that is dependent on the process variable selected. For example, If the offset is
20 mV for 4 mA, and you want 100 mV to be 20 mA, then your range should be 80. If the process variable is
temperature, then the range will be 80, since temperature PVs do not have a decimal. If the PV is % Carbon, then the
range will need to include the two decimal points for % Carbon. So, a range of 80 will be entered as 8000
for more examples.

The 9120 controller has the option of using eight relay outputs. All of the relays have a positive common terminal and
independent negative terminals. All of the relays are configured in a normally closed position except relay number eight,
which has both a normally closed (NC) and a normally open (NO) terminal.
Note: Relay 1 through Relay 8 are display-only and cannot be modified from this screen

Alarm Setup
The 9120 controller can be
configured to use three different
alarms. Each of the alarms consists
of an alarm setpoint, alarm type,
alarm hysteresis, smart alarm, ON
delay time, and a 0 SP blocks alarm
value. The alarms come from the
factory with a default configuration
dependent on the application but
also can be modified prior to
shipment to your facility or in the
field by a supervisor.
Setpoint
This value is the setpoint for the
alarm. Clicking on this value will
display an input box from which the
user can select a new value. The
range is from –9999 to 9999.
Alarm Type
This value is the type of alarms
4574 - SSi 9120 Manual Rev A Page 34 Super Systems Inc
Page 35
used. Clicking on this value will display an input box with two (2) drop-down lists from which the user can select a new
value.
The values in the first (top) list box are:
PV 1 Value
PV 2 Value
PV 3 Value
Input 1 Value
Input 2 Value
Input 3 Value
PO1 Value
PO2 Value
PO3 Value
The values in the second (bottom) list box are:
Process High
Process Low
Band, Normally Open
Band, Normally Closed
Deviation, Normally Open
Deviation, Normally Closed
Deviation alarm is single sided. i.e. a +10 deviation will alarm when the PV is greater than SP + 10 but not neg. A -10
deviation will alarm when the PV is less than SP -10 but not on the positive side.
When set to deviation, the alarm message shows in Configurator below or above. The actual relay setup with that alarm
will only energize depending on the setpoint. For the standard alarms (1, 2, and 3), the user can select if the alarm
condition is for above or below. This will dictate when the relay will energize.
Example: alarm 1 set to plus 10F will alarm 11 degrees above setpoint and pull in the relay. It will show alarm 10 degrees
below but not pull in the relay.
A Band alarm will activate and energize the relay on both sides (+) and (-).
Note: some alarm types may be fixed at the current value
.
Hysteresis
The hysteresis is in degrees, i.e. 10 hysteresis = 10 degrees.
Alarm hysteresis should not have a decimal place. It is in units. If it is a control loop doing on/off control then the decimal
place on the reset (hysteresis) should be ignored. The Hysteresis is a set number that works with the alarm to help
control a motor or pump longer to reach a set amount to come back into band before it will shut off motor or pump.
Example: Using quench oil as an example, assume the SP is 200F. The alarm is set as a deviation of +10F. At 210 the
alarm is active and the pump will run to cool the oil. With a hysteresis of 8 degrees the alarm and pump will turn off at
202F. It will turn back on when it is 10 degrees above setpoint. If the setpoint is still 200 then at 210 it is on again.
Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is from 0 to 9999.
Smart Alarm
This value is a display of the Smart Alarm status. A smart alarm is an alarm that works with a Process Variable and when
enabled it will not be active until the process variable is within band of the setpoint.
Example: If the SP is 1700 and the band is 10 degrees the alarm will not be active until the PV reaches 1690. The value
can be either disabled or enabled.
ON Delay Time
4574 - SSi 9120 Manual Rev A Page 35 Super Systems Inc
Page 36
This value is the ON Delay Time for the Smart Alarm, in seconds. If the timer is utilized the alarm will not be active until
in band and the timer has timed out (this is in seconds).
Example: If you select 30, the output will not energize until 30 seconds after the alarm is active.
Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is from 0 to 9999
seconds.
0 SP Blocks Alarm
This value will allow a 0 setpoint to block an alarm. The options are either no or yes.
Calibration
Overview
The series 9120 controller can be calibrated using the operator interface Configurator software, usually supplied with the
system. Before performing this procedure on a newly installed controller, the unit needs to be powered on for at least
thirty (30) minutes for a warm up period to allow the inputs/outputs to stabilize with the environment.
The series 9120 has two analog inputs. Each range has a zero and span calibration value. A cold junction trim value must
be calibrated for thermocouple inputs. There are two analog outputs each with a zero and span value. When using the
User Calibration procedure this will allow for the user to only calibrate the input ranges being used in the controller for
which ever specific PVT is selected under furnace setup. The Full Calibration will calibrate all of the input ranges
regardless of what is selected for PVT.
Equipment needed
A certified calibrator(s) with the ability to input and read millivolts, milliamps and thermocouples is required. The
appropriate connection leads are also required. A 24VDC 75-watt power supply is required. The operator interface method
requires a PC with the Configurator software loaded. An Ethernet crossover cable is required.

Calibration Procedure
The calibration procedure for an input or output will be the same regardless of which operation is being performed.
Zero Input: Source a zero mV value to the terminals. Press the Calibrate button.
Span Input: Source a specific mV value to the terminals and enter the value in the box. Press the Calibrate button.
Zero Output: Press the Prep for Zero button, which will set the output to 0%. Measure the current at the terminals and
output the measured value. Enter the value in the box. Press the Calibrate button.
Span Output: Press the Prep for Span button, which will set the output to 100%. Measure the current at the terminals
and output the measured value. Enter the value in the box. Press the Calibrate button.
User Calibration
Cold Junction Offset
Note: The cold junction offset should be performed after the inputs/outputs have been calibrated
If adjusting the input by a preset amount for all temperature points, calibrate the cold junction by entering a new value positive or negative – that would be the difference of the value indicated. Wait 120 seconds and verify with a source
calibration device with the correct T/C type. In the “Calibrate Cold Junction” section, enter the temperature of the
terminals and click on the Calibrate button. This will calibrate the cold junction value.
