Introduction to the
W atlow Series 988 Controllers
Figure Int.1 ­The Series 988 Controllers.
Watlow’s Series 988 controllers set a new standard in the controller indus­try by packing an impressive array of features into an 1/8-DIN package. No other controller offers the flexibility, compact size and durability of the Series 988. It can control a wide variety of temperature and process appli­cations, with a broad range of input and output options that allow control of virtually any process variable.
The Series 988 is the only 1/8 DIN controller that can provide single-unit cascade control of a process. Its other features include heater current monitoring, remote set point input, ratio control and valve control through slidewire feedback. The Series 988 also delivers expanded auto-tuning capabilities, increased alarm functionality and several unique control algo­rithms.
When we refer to the “Series 988” controller, we refer also to the horizontal and low-voltage versions of the Series 988: the 986, 987, 988 and 989. We recommend that you read all of this manual’s introduction to familiarize yourself with the conventions and content of this manual and the steps to setting up a Series 988 controller. Make sure you understand the “Caution” and “Warning” symbols we use in the book.

Chapter 1 Hardware Setup

DIP Switch Locations and Functions

The Watlow Series 988 has at least one and as many as six dual in-line package (DIP) switches inside the controller, depending on the model number. They allow users to configure the controller for a variety of input sensors, to provide power for external signal conditioners or to lockout front panel access to some functions.
To set any DIP switch:
• Remove the controller from the case by pressing firmly on the two release tabs on one side or the top of the bezel until they unsnap. Then firmly press the two release tabs on the opposite side or the bottom of the con­trol until they unsnap. You will need to gently rock the bezel back and forth to release it from the chassis.
• Use the illustrations on the following pages to locate and set each DIP switch.

NOTE: Removing the con­troller chassis from its case makes mounting easier.

Installing the Series 988

Installing and mounting requires access to the back of the panel.
1. Make a panel cutout using the panel cutout dimensions from the previ­ous page.
2. To remove the controller chassis from its case, press in firmly on the two tabs on one side or the top of the bezel until they unsnap, then unsnap the two tabs on the opposite side or the bottom. Pull the chassis out of the case by gently rocking it.
3. Slide the case into the panel cutout. Check to see that the gasket is not twisted, and is seated within the case bezel flush with the panel. Slide
Figure 2.2 ­Side and top view.
2.2 WATLOW Series 988 User’s Manual

the mounting collar over the back of the control.
4. Loosen the mounting bracket screws enough to allow for the mounting collar and panel thickness. Place each mounting bracket into the mounting slots (head of the screw facing the back of the controller). Push each bracket backward then down to secure it to the control case. To guarantee a proper NEMA 4X seal, Series 986 and 988
units (vertical) must have the mounting brackets located on either side of the unit. When installing Series 987 and 989 units (horizon­tal) the brackets must be on the top and bottom of the unit.
ç
CAUTION: Follow the installa­tion procedure exactly to guarantee a proper NEMA 4X seal. Make sure the gasket between the panel and the rim of the case is not twisted and is seat­ed properly. Failure to do so could result in damage to equipment.
5. Make sure the case is seated properly. Tighten the installation screws firmly against the mounting collar to secure the unit. To ensure a
NEMA 4X seal, there should be no space between the bezel and panel. Overtightening the screws will distort the case and make it diffi-
cult to remove or replace the controller.
6. Make sure the inside gasket is seated properly and not twisted. Insert the controller chassis into its case and press the bezel until all four tabs snap.
7. To release the mounting brackets, loosen the mounting bracket screws and push the brackets forward, then pull it up and out.

Wiring the Series 988

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. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
˜
NOTE: Input-to-output iso­lation is defeated when the external signal conditioner power supply is used to power a transmitter con­nected to input 1 or input 2.
Wiring options depend on the model number and DIP switch settings. Check the terminal designation stickers on either side of the controller and compare your model number to those shown here and with the model number breakdown on the inside back cover of this manual.

Input-to-output Isolation

The Series 988 uses optical isolation between the analog inputs and the controller outputs/digital input. This isolation provides a 500VÅ (ac) bar­rier to prevent ground loops when using grounded sensors and/or periph­eral equipment.
Here is a breakdown of the isolation barriers:
• Analog inputs 1 and 2 are grouped together.
• Outputs 1 through 4 and the standard event input are grouped together. This does not apply to Output 4 when configured as communications.
• The digital communications output (4) is separate from the above groups.

Sensor Installation Guidelines

Wiring
ç
CAUTION: The Series 988 will not function with two grounded ther­mocouple inputs. Avoid using a grounded thermo­couple for both input 1 and input 2. Failure to follow this guideline could result in damage to equipment.
NOTE: Input-to-output iso­lation is defeated when the external signal conditioner power supply is used to power a transmitter connect­ed to input 1 or input 2.
Maintain isolation between input 1 and input 2 to prevent a ground loop. A ground loop may cause incorrect readings, dashes across the upper dis­play or the display of error codes.
Thermocouple input: Extension wire for thermocouples must be of the same alloy as the thermocouple itself to limit errors.
Using grounded thermocouples for both input 1 and input 2 may create ground loop problems. To correct this problem, replace at least one of the grounded thermocouples with an ungrounded thermocouple. If the appli­cation requires grounded thermocouples, use an isolated transmitter, such as a Watlow Gordon 5702 isolated transmitter.
RTD (100 ) input: Each 1of lead wire resistance can cause a +2°C
error when using a two-wire RTD. A three-wire RTD sensor overcomes this problem. All three wires must have the same electrical resistance (i.e., same gauge, same length, multi-stranded or solid, same metal).
Process input: Isolation must be maintained between input 1 and input
2. If both input 1 and input 2 are used as process inputs, a separate
power supply and transmitter must be used for each input. Output option T (external signal conditioner power supply) can be used to supply power for only one input.

NOTE: A process output cannot be installed on output 1 when using a current transformer input.
NOTE: Successful installa­tion requires five steps:
• Model number and software choice (Appendix);
• DIP switch set­tings (Chapter 1);
• Sensor match (Chapter 2 and Appendix);
• Sensor installation (Chapter 2); and
• Wiring (Chapter 2).

The current transformer must be purchased separately. Watlow current transformer part number 16-0246 (up to 50 amps).
Systems that use more than 50 Amps need an interstage transformer. For example, if you use a 300A current transformer, part #16-0073, and an interstage transformer, part #16-0176, the 300A current transformer provides a 5A signal to the interstage transformer. In turn, the trans­former sends a 20mA maximum signal to the controller.
Single-phase Single-phase current sensing up to 300 amps
3-phase using 2 current transformers 3-phase current sensing up to 300 amps.

CAUTION: Changing the value of [`In1] changes most other prompts to the factory default values. Document all set­tings before chang­ing sensor type. Verify the correct sensor type before making a change. Failure to follow this guideline could result in damage to equipment or prop­erty. Document all settings before changing sensor type.
When you are in the Setup menus, the Series 988 displays the menu selec­tion ( [InPt], [OtPt], [GLbL] or [COM] ) in the upper display, and [`SEt] in the lower display.
The Up-arrow > or Down-arrow key < selects another menu. Press the Mode key µ to display the prompt in the lower display and its value in the upper display. Use the Up-arrow > or Down-arrow < key to change the value in the upper display. The new value will not take effect until after a five-second delay or until you press the Mode key µ.
Input 1
Select sensor type for input 1. This selection must match the sensor type connected to terminals 8, 9 and 10. See Appendix for more information about sensors.
• Changing the value of [`In1] changes all other prompts to the factory
default values, except the Communications and Lockout menus, the [`C_F] prompt in the Global Menu and the [`dFL] prompt in the Calibration Menu. If you change the value, the default warning [dFLt] will flash in the upper display.
• Changes do not take effect automatically after five seconds; you must
press the Mode key µ to enter the sensor type change and advance to the next prompt.
