Man 5001237
The N322T 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.
Displays the Compressor Protection Function by Supply Voltage Monitoring, important in the
protection of compressors for refrigeration systems.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
Fig. 1 below shows the controller connections to sensor, mains and outputs.
Fig. 1 - N322T 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.
Recommendations for the installation
 Temperature sensor drivers must go through the plant separate system for drivers of control
output and power supply if possible electroducts terrified.
 The controller's power should come preferably a campus network for instrumentation or
different from that used by phase control output.
 Installing RC filters (47 R and 100 nF, series combination) is strongly recommended at
contactor coils or any other inductors.
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 / Voltage indication
2 Configuration
3 Calibration
Upon power-up, the N322T 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 “SP” message shows up. 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.
U Voltage - The screen voltage measurement. For values lower than 150 Vac and
higher than 254 Vac presents the message 0.
Function available for model N322T-NTC-LVD.
SP Set Point - Temperature adjustment for control. SP value is limited to the values
programmed in SPL and SPk in the programming level.
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.
0 - Thermocouple type J
1 - Thermocouple type K
2 - Thermocouple type 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.
kys OUTPUT Hysteresis: defines the differential range between the temperature
value at which the OUTPUT is turned on and the value at which it is turned off.
In degrees.
ale Alarm Enable:
0 Alarm disabled;
1 Buzzer alarm and output 2 pulsed (1 second);
2 Buzzer alarm and output 2 pulsed;
3 Output 2 pulsed (1 second);
4 Output 2 pulsed.
Function available for models N322T-NTC and N322TB-NTC.
For N322T-NTC model 1 and 2 parameter work as 3 and 4 parameters
respectively.
Alarm function works only for fot = 2 parameter.
Alt Alarm Time - Sets the time for which the alarm will be triggered.
1
to 255 seconds
To turn the alarm off before the programmed time, just press for 1 second.
Function available for models N322T-NTC and N322TB-NTC.
Alarm function works only for fot = 2 parameter.
Act Control action for OUTPUT 1:
0 Reverse: For heating applications. Outputs turn on when temperature is
lower than SP.
1 Direct: For cooling applications. Output turns on when temperature is
above SP.
(nt Control - Associates Setpoints and Outputs.
0
Setpoint is assigned to OUTPUT1 and Setpoint to OUTPUT2 (factory
setting).
1 Setpoint is assigned to OUTPUT2 where as Setpoint is directed to
OUTPUT1.
oft Off time - Defines the minimum off time for control OUTPUT. Once OUTPUT is
turned off, it remains so for at least the time programmed in oft. For
thermocouple inputs this parameter is not available. This parameter is intended
for refrigeration systems where longer compressor life is desired. For heating
systems, program oft to zero. Value in seconds, 0 to 999 s.
Ont On time - Defines the minimum on time for control OUTPUT. Once turned on,
OUTPUT remains so for at least the time programmed in ont. For
thermocouple inputs this parameter is not available. This parameter is intended
for refrigeration systems where increased compressor life is desired. For
heating systems, program ont to zero. Value in seconds, 0 to 999 s.
dly Delay - Delay time to start control. Upon power-on, control OUTPUT 1 is kept
off until the time programmed in dly is elapsed. Its usage is intended to
prevent multiple compressors to start simultaneously after the turn-on of a
system with several controllers. Value in seconds, 0 to 250 s.
