Temperature Controller - Staveb AG

3-10 Configuration and Basic OperationConfiguring the Input TypeThe Bulletin 900-TC32 supports four input/sensor types: platinum resistancethermometer, thermocouple, non-contact temperature sensor, and 0…50 mVanalog inputs. Configure the input type matched to the sensor used in theInput Type parameter (see Table A.B, List of Input Types). TheBulletin 900-TC32 general controller specifications support two types ofinputs, platinum resistance thermometer and thermocouple temperaturesensors, whose Set Values differ. Check the type of Bulletin 900-TC32 atpurchase (see Table 1.A).Input TypeExample Operation Procedure — Configuring the Input Type ThermocoupleK-20.0…500.0°C1. Press the key for at least 3 seconds to move from the Operationfunction group to the Initial Setting function group.Figure 3.7Operation function groupInitial setting function groupInput type2. Press the U key to configure the Set Value for the desired sensor.Entering the Set Value will configure the controller for the applicableinput type and range. Example: When you use K thermocouple(–20.0…+500.0°C), enter 1 as the Set Value.Figure 3.8Note: The selected Set Value is loaded into controller memory if you donot operate the keys on the front panel for 2 seconds after changing theparameter, or by pressing the or M keys. This applies to changing allvalues and/or parameters.Selecting °C/°FTemperature UnitThe Bulletin 900-TC32 allows you to select either °C or °F as the temperatureunit.Configure the temperature unit in the Temperature Unit parameter of InitialSetting function group. Note: The default is °C.Publication 900-UM003C-EN-E - January 2004
