Conexiuni terminale:

  • Terminalele 8 și 9: Intrare de alimentare AC100-240V
  • Terminalele 10 și 11: Heating Plate Output
  • Terminalele 3 și 4: K-Type Thermocouple (TK) Input
  • Terminalele 1 și 2: Timing Start Input
  • Terminalele 6 și 7: Control Output (e.g., for a buzzer or external alarm)

3.2 Instalare fizică

Mount the controller in a suitable panel cutout. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Secure the controller using the provided mounting clips.

4. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

4.1 Panoul de control pesteview

Familiarize yourself with the front panel controls and displays:

Front panel of the TC3-701T PID Temperature Controller, showing the temperature display (SV), time display (ST), output indication (OUT), Celsius/Fahrenheit indicators, Self-tuning (AT) indicator, Countdown (AL) indicator, and control buttons for Temperature Set, Time Set, and Up/Down arrows.

Image 4.1: Front panel and display indicators of the CONTIA TC3-701T.

  • Temperature Display (SV): Afișează temperatura măsurată curent.
  • Time Display (ST): Shows the current remaining time or set time.
  • Output Indication (OUT): Se aprinde când ieșirea de control este activă.
  • Celsius/Fahrenheit (°C/°F): Indicates the temperature unit.
  • Self-tuning (AT): Se aprinde când funcția de reglare automată este activă.
  • Countdown (AL): Illuminates when an alarm condition is met or countdown is active.
  • Butonul TEMP: Folosit pentru a intra în modul de setare a temperaturii.
  • Butonul TIME: Folosit pentru a intra în modul de setare a orei.
  • Săgeți sus/jos: Folosit pentru a ajusta valorile în modurile de setare.

4.2 Setarea temperaturii

  1. Apăsați tasta TEMP button. The temperature display (SV) will flash.
  2. Utilizați Up şi Jos arrow buttons to adjust the desired set temperature.
  3. Apăsați tasta TEMP button again to confirm and exit the setting mode. The display will return to showing the current temperature.

4.3 Setarea orei

  1. Apăsați tasta TIMP button. The time display (ST) will flash.
  2. Utilizați Up şi Jos arrow buttons to adjust the desired set time.
  3. Apăsați tasta TIMP button again to confirm and exit the setting mode. The display will return to showing the current time or countdown.

4.4 Self-Tuning (AT) Function

The self-tuning function automatically calculates optimal PID parameters for your specific heating system. To activate:

  1. Ensure the desired temperature is set.
  2. Țineți apăsat butonul TEMP button for approximately 3 seconds until the AT indicatorul se aprinde.
  3. The controller will cycle through heating and cooling to determine the optimal parameters. This process may take some time.
  4. Odată finalizat, AT indicator will turn off, and the controller will operate with the newly optimized PID settings.

5. Întreținere

To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your controller:

  • curatenie: Wipe the front panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Inspecţie: Verificați periodic conexiunile cablurilor pentru a vedea dacă există slăbiri sau deteriorări.
  • Mediu: Keep the controller in a clean, dry environment, free from excessive dust or vibrations.

6. Depanare

ProblemăCauza posibilaSoluţie
Controlerul nu porneșteFără alimentare cu energie electrică; cablare incorectăCheck power connections (Terminals 8 & 9); ensure power source is active.
Temperature reading is inaccurate or 'HHHH'/'LLLL' displayedThermocouple faulty; incorrect thermocouple type; wiring errorVerify K-type thermocouple is correctly connected (Terminals 3 & 4); replace faulty thermocouple.
Heating element not activatingOutput wiring error; set temperature not reached; faulty heating elementCheck heating plate wiring (Terminals 10 & 11); ensure set temperature is above current temperature; test heating element.
Self-tuning (AT) does not completeSystem too slow or unstable; incorrect wiringEnsure the heating system is functional; check all wiring; try manual PID tuning if auto-tuning consistently fails.
