USING THE CONTROLLER
When in the process, the N440 displays the temperature measured by the sensor
connected in the terminals named SENSOR INPUT.
The sensor is defined at the purchase. The user needs then to configure outputs OUT1
and OUT2 (OUT2 is optional) with the desired functionality. Parameters
Ac1
Ac1
Ac1
Ac1 and Ac2
Ac2
Ac2
Ac2
define the outputs working mode. OUT1 is normally used as the control output,
whereas OUT2 is used as the alarm output. Depending on output requirements (relay
or logic pulse), the outputs may be configured differently.
The OUT1 e OUT2 outputs can perform in the following ways:
0
00
0- Reverse action usually used for heating.
Output turns on when temperature is bellow set point minus hysteresis. Output
turns off when temperature is above set point.
1
11
1- Direct Action usually used for cooling.
Output turns on when temperature is above set point plus hysteresis Output turns
off when temperature is bellow set point.
2
22
2- Low temperature alarm.
Output turns on when temperature is bellow set point. Output turns off when
temperature is above set point plus hysteresis.
3
33
3- High temperature alarm.
Output turns on when temperature is above set point. Output turns off when
temperature is bellow set point minus hysteresis.

9- Out of range alarm with initial blocking.
Same as out of range alarm, but with initial blocking as described next.
Note 1: OUT1 and OUT2 outputs can’t be simultaneously configured for In Range and
Out of Range alarm.
Note 2: The initial blocking feature, when enabled, results in the controller ignoring
alarm conditions which exists when the controller is powered-on or started.
Alarms with initial blocking:
The initial blocking option inhibits the alarm from being recognized if an alarm condition
is present when the controller is first energized. The alarm will actuate only after the
occurrence of a non alarm condition followed by a new occurrence for the alarm.
In the front panel, OUT indicator will light on when OUT1 is active, and AL1 indicator
will light on when OUT2 is active.

sensor error. The adjusted value is added to the temperature read before indication.
Parameters write protection:
Write to parameters may be disabled for each parameter level by means of an internal
protection strap key which when ON will block access to configuration. The instrument
is not protected with the strap key in OFF position. By placing the strap at ON, access
will be limited as defined in the “
Prt

The protection parameter “

Prt” must be defined with the strap key in place otherwise
it cannot be changed.
PROBLEMS WITH THE CONTROLLER
Connection and configuration errors state for most of the problems in using the
controller. A final revision of parameters will save time and further losses. Error
messages are displayed to help the user to identify possible problems. If one of the
messages bellow is displayed, all outputs are turned off for safety.
•
Temperature above high limit.
•
Broken sensor. Pt100 badly connected
•
Temperature bellow low limit.
•
Pt100 short-circuited.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
If you encounter a problem with your controller, review the configuration with regard to
inputs, outputs, alarms, etc. If the problem persists, contact your supplier or Novus at
[email protected].
