SP2 / SP3 OUTPUT AND LED STATUS IN ALARM CONDITION

SP2 / SP3 ALARM ANNUNCIATOR

If a Primary Alarm mode has been configured, when an alarm condition occurs the alarm
annunciator

-AL-

will be displayed alternating with the process variable. The alarm

together with the display, will be automatically reset as soon as the alarm condition has
been cleared.

The annunciator may be disabled by selecting

no.AL

:

on

, in Level 4.

ERROR MESSAGES

SENSOR FAULT
Display flashes:

inPt: FAiL

Indicates:

sensor open or short circuit or linear input over-range.

Action:

Check sensor/wiring/connectors

NON-VOLATILE MEMORY ERROR

Action:

De-power briefly. Replace unit if problem persists

MANUAL POWER ERROR
Display flashes:

hAnd

SP1 set to on–off in

CYC.t

Action:

Select proportional mode

IMMEDIATE FAIL ON AUTOTUNE START
Display flashes:

tunE

:

FAiL

Setpoint display 0
1. No setpoint entered.

Action:

Enter setpoint

2. SP1 set to ON/OFF in

CyC.t

Action:

Select proportional mode

Note: To reset and clear error press ▲▼ together briefly to cancel message.

FAIL LATER DURING AUTOTUNE CYCLE
The thermal characteristics of the load exceed the Autotune algorithm limits. The failure
point indicated by any display 0.0 in

tech

e.g.

Ctb

= 0.0

Action:

1.

Change the conditions. eg. raise setpoint

2.

Try

tunE : At.SP

3.

If the error message persists, call local CAL representative for advice.

LINEAR INPUT

Set-up Procedure

The 4–20mA input model converts current into voltage using an internal resistor which
spreads the signal across the input range 10 to 50 mV. using multiplier of 2.5. When using a
transducer with an output less than 4–20mA, the input maximum and minimum mV values
can be calculated using the same multiplier.

Models with 0 to 5V input use an internal resistor to spread the signal across the input
range 0 to 50 mV using a divider of 100. Where a transducer provides a smaller
output, the input maximum and minimum values can be similarly calculated.

Decide what scale minimum and maximum will be required, and whether the scale needs
inverting. (See Level A; Linear Input Scaling for list of settings and limits, page 10).

The example below shows how a 4–20mA linear Input should be configured.

# e.g. 4–20mA = 60 to 260 units where 4mA = 60 units

Follow INITIAL SET-UP procedure (also see page 4).

1. Select input sensor

Select

inPt:Lin

2. Select unit

Select required unit, if not available Select

unit:SEt

3. Select SP1 output

Select from:

Rly

,

SSd

or

AnLG

Enter initial configuration into controller memory

DO NOT ENTER SETPOINT until Linear Input has been configured in Level A

See functions menu page 3
and functions list page 10.

Configure Linear Input

Enter level A

(Then using example given # above)

4. Enter scale maximum

Select

An.hi:260

5. Enter scale minimum

Select

An.Lo:60

6. Enter input maximum

Select

hi.in:50.0

7. Enter input minimum

Select

Lo.in:10.0

8. Enter display resolution

Select

dECP:0000

(WARNING – otherwise settings

marked may be altered)

Enter Linear Input configuration into controller memory and enter setpoint.

Now configure Levels 1, 2 and 3 and if required proceed with AUTOTUNE.

Note: Any apparent calibration errors can be removed using the

ZEro

and

SPAn

adjustments in Level 3.

Will be affected by

dECP

settings in Level A
