and the equipment. A full explanation is in the narrow
column on the outside of the page.
ç
The CAUTION symbol in the wide text column alerts you to
a "CAUTION," a safety or functional hazard which could
affect your equipment or its performance. A full explanation is in the narrow column on the outside of the page.
Technical Assistance
If you encounter a problem with your Watlow control,
review all of your configuration information to verify that
your selections are consistent with your application...
Inputs, Outputs, Alarms, Limits, etc. If the problem persists
after checking the above, you can get technical assistance
by dialing:1-507-454-5300
An Application Engineer will discuss your problem with you.

General Description
Welcome to the Watlow Series 945, a 1/4 DIN microprocessor-based temperature
control. It has a single input, remote set point input, dual output, and dual alarm.
The 945 is an auto-tuning control when Output 1 is in the heat mode, and features
Automatic/Manual capability with bumpless transfer. In the Auto mode, the 945 has
closed loop control with sensory feedback, while the Manual mode has open loop
control with user defined output power level. The 945 accepts a variety of thermocouples, as shown above, along with RTD, or process input. The primary output is
heat or cool, while the secondary output can be heat, cool or none. An optional
retransmit output is offered in place of one of the alarms. Selectable as retransmit
of set point or process variable. Units with communications feature data logging
with user selectable table, chart or SPC (Statistical Process Control) printout of data.
With the Series 945 you can select either PID or ON/OFF for Output 1 or 2. Input a
complete set of PID parameters for both outputs, including proportional band, reset/
integral and rate/derivative. By setting either output's proportional band to zero, the
Series 945 becomes a simple ON/OFF control with the switching differential selectable under the HYS (hysteresis) parameter in the Setup menu.
Operator-friendly features include automatic LED indicators to aid in monitoring and
setup, as well as a calibration offset at the front panel. The Watlow Series 945
automatically stores all information in a non-volatile memory.

3. Place the case in the cutout you just made. Attach the two mounting brackets,
shipped with your unit, either to the top and bottom, or to both sides of the unit.
Tighten the brackets securely against your panel.

How to Wire the Series 945
The Series 945 wiring is illustrated by model number option. Check the terminal
designation sticker on the control and compare your model number to those shown
here and also the model number breakdown on the inside back cover of this manual.
Series 945 internal circuits appear "inside" the line drawing of the 945, while
connections and terminal designations appear "outside" the line drawing. All
outputs are referenced to a de-energized state. The final wiring figure is a typical
system example.
When you apply power without a sensorinput on the terminal strip, the 945
displays "- - - -" in the upper display, and "0" in the lower display. Press AUTO/
MAN twice, and ER 7 is displayed for one second. This error indicates an open
sensor or A/D error. Remove power to the control and connect the sensor properly,
see Page 6. All wiring and fusing must conform to the National Electric Code and
to any locally applicable codes as well.

Sensor Installation Guidelines
We suggest you mount the sensor at a location in your process or system where it
reads an average temperature. Choose a point that will adequately represent the
process temperature without being overly reactive.
For thermocouple inputs: Use an isolated or ungrounded thermocouple if an
external 4-20mA output device with a non-isolated circuit common is connected.
Extension wire must be of the same alloy as the thermocouple itself to limit errors.
Figure 5 120 VAC Power
Wiring
Figure 6 240 VAC Power
Wiring
WARNING:
To avoid potential
electric shock, use
National Electric
Code (NEC) safety
practices when
wiring and connecting this unit to a
power source and to
electrical sensors or
peripheral devices.
For RTD inputs: There could be a +2°F input error for every 1 of lead length
resistance when using a 2 wire RTD. That resistance, when added to the RTD
element resistance, will result in erroneous input to the instrument. To overcome
this problem, use a 3 wire RTD sensor, which compensates for lead length resistance. When extension wire is used for a 3-wire RTD, all wires must have the
same electrical resistance (i.e. same gauge, copper stranded).
For 0-5VDC or 4-20mA process inputs: The rL and rH settings scale the display
to match the measured range of the process signal. For 0-5VDC process input, the
impedance is 100KΩ. For 4-20mA process input, the impedance is 249Ω.
These input connections are also used in conjunction with T/C and RTD
sensor types when using the remote set point input.

How To Setup The Series 945
Setting up the Series 945 is a simple process. First configure the 945's features to
your application in the Setup Menu, and then enter values in the Operating Menu.
Use the MODE key to move through the menus and the UP/DOWN keys to select
data.
At this point, enter the Calibration menu by pressing the UP/DOWN keys simultaneously for 3 seconds. Selecting US or SI under the dFL parameter determines the
following: If selected as US, rate, reset, °F and proportional band in degrees will
appear. If selected as SI, integral, derivative, °C and proportional band in % of span
will appear. See Appendix II to change this parameter.
How to Set the DIP Switch
The Watlow Series 945 has a Dual In-line Package (DIP) switch inside the control on
the A007-1954 circuit board (middle board). The location of the board and switches
appear below. The switches are clearly numbered. When Switch #1 is ON, the Setup
parameters can be viewed but not changed. Switch #2 is not used. The factory
default is OFF.
