Controller N480
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER – OPERATION MANUAL – V2.6x
N480
1. ASSEMBLY
The controller should be installed in a panel cut out as specified in
item 2.1. First remove the mounting clamp and insert the controller
into the panel cut out. Place the unit into the panel cut-out and slide
the mounting clamp from the rear to a firm grip at the panel.
The internal circuitry can be fully removed from the housing without
disconnecting any wiring. By using the thumb just press the tab in
the lower part of the front panel, grab firmly the front panel and pull
out the circuitry from the housing.

3. CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
Prior to first operation the controller should be fully configured. The
user must set basic parameters as temperature type (“TYPE
TYPE

TYPE
”), the
desired control set point (“ SP
SP
SP
SP
“), the alarms set points (“SPA1

” and
“SPA2

”), etc.
3.1. PARAMETERS FLOW CHART
The programming parameters are organized in 4 different sets or
levels:
•
Operation level
•
Alarms and tuning level
•
Configuration level
•
Calibration level
At power up the controller displays a prompt at the Operation Level
and remains in this level while under normal operation.
The other levels are only accessed when a change of parameters is
necessary (except for Set Point change). To reach these other
parameters the user must keep the INDEX Key ( ) pressed for
about three seconds. After this time the controller will show the first
parameter of the next level. By keeping the INDEX key pressed for
another 3 seconds the next level will be accessed.
Release the
key when the desired level is reached. Press once
the
to go to the next prompt in the same level.
When a parameter is shown the display will alternate its name and
value. The value can then be changed by pressing the
or
key.
