OPERATING MANUAL - V1.8x
Man 5001230
The N322 is a 2-output digital electronic controller for heating and cooling applications.
It is available with NTC thermistor input sensor, Pt100, Pt1000 or J/K/T type
thermocouple. Sensor offset correction is provided. The 2 independent outputs can be
used as control or alarm. The features of a particular model (input sensor type, sensor
range, mains supply, etc.) are identified by the label placed on the controller body.
SPECIFICATIONS
INPUT SENSOR: The input sensor type can be chosen form the options below
(specified when placing the order):
NTC Thermistor, 10 k
@ 25 °C; range: –50 to 120 °C (-58 to 248 °F);
Accuracy: 1.0 °C (1.1 °F), with original sensor;
Sensor interchangeability: 1 °C (1.35 °F). This error can be compensated by the
offset parameter in the controller.
Pt100 (
= 385); Range: –50 to 300 °C (-58 to 572 °F);
Accuracy: 0.7 °C (1.3 °F); IEC-751.
Pt1000 (
= 385); Range: –200 to 530 °C (-328 to 986 °F); Accuracy: 0.7 °C (1.3° F);
J, K or T thermocouple (IEC-584):
Type J: Range: 0 to 600 °C (32 to 1112 °F); Accuracy: 3 °C (5.4 °F);
Type K: Range: -50 to 1000 °C (-58 to 1832 °F); Accuracy: 3 °C (5.4 °F);
Type T: Range: -50 to 400 °C (-58 to 752 °F); Accuracy: 3 °C (5.4 °F);
Note: In the controller with NTC input, a 3 m-sensor cable is bundled with the
instrument. The cable can be extended up to 200 m.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
It is important to follow the recommendations below:
Signal wires should be installed in grounded conduits and away from power or
contactor wires.
The instrument should have its own power supply wires that should not be shared
with electrical motors, coils, contactors, etc.
Installing RC filters (47 R and 100 nF, series combination) is strongly recommended
at contactor coils or any other inductors.
Fig. 1 below shows the controller connections to sensor, mains and outputs.
Fig. 1 – N322 terminals
Pt100 with 3 conductors: Terminals 11, 12 and 13 must have the same wire
resistance for proper cable length compensation. For 2 wire Pt100, short circuit
terminals 11 and 13.
OPERATION
The controller requires the internal parameters to be configured according to the
intended use for the instrument. The parameters are organized in 4 groups or levels:
Level
Function
0
Temperature measurement
1
Setpoint Adjustment
2
Configuration
3
Calibration
Upon power-up, the N322 display shows for 1 second its firmware version. This
information is useful when consulting the factory.
Then, the temperature measured by the sensor is shown on the display. This is the
parameter level 0 (temperature measurement level).
To access level 1, press
for 1 second until the “SP1” message shows up. Pressing
again, the “SP2” parameter is presented. To go back to level 0, press
once
more.
To access level 2 of parameters, press
for 2 seconds until the “uNT” message is
shown. Release the
key to remain in this level. Each new pressing on the
key
will advance to the next parameter in the level. At the end of the level, the controller
returns to the first level (0). Use the
and
keys to alter a parameter value.
Notes: 1
A parameter configuration is saved when the
key is pressed to
advance to the next parameter in the cycle. The configuration is stored in a
non-volatile memory, retaining its value when the controller is de-
energized.
2 If no keyboard activity is detected for over 20 seconds, the controller saves
the current parameter value and returns to the measurement level.
Level 1 –Setpoint Adjustment
In this level only the Setpoint (SP1 and SP2) parameters are available, alternating the
names with their respective values. Adjust the desired temperature for each setpoint
clicking on the
and
keys.
SP1
Set Point 1
Temperature adjustment for control OUTPUT 1. SP1 value is limited to
the values programmed in SPL and SPk in the programming level
(Parameter configuration, level 2).
SP2
Set Point 2
Temperature adjustment for control OUTPUT 2. SP2 value is limited to
the values programmed in SPL and SPk
Level 2 – Configuration - Parameters configuration Level
Contains the configuration parameters to be defined by the user, according to the
system’s requirements. Use
and
keys to set the value. The display alternates
the parameter name and respective value.
Unt
Temperature Unit - Selects display indication for degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
0
– Temperature in degrees Celsius
1
- Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
typ
Input Type - Selects the input sensor type to be connected to the
controller. Available only for thermocouple models, allowing selection of
types J, K and T.

ofs
Sensor Offset - Offset value to be added to the measured temperature
to compensate sensor error.
spl
SP Low Limit - Lower range for SP1 and SP2. SPL must be
programmed with a lower value than spK.
spK
SP High Limit - Upper range for SP1 and SP2. SPx must be greater
than spl.

temperature value at which the OUTPUT 1 is turned on and the value at
which it is turned off. In degrees.

temperature value at which the OUTPUT 2 is turned on and the value at
which it is turned off. In degrees.
