General instruction 

The controller cabinet RSL 98 contents the temperature controller ETR98. 

The ETR98 is a multiple temperature control unit for 8 temperature control 

zones. It is operated by means of a key-pad on its front panel, and is protected 

against the unintentional input of data. 

Right reserved to make modification 

These operating instructions have been drawn up with the aim of being up 

to date and correct. Nevertheless, technological improvements can make 

it necessary to make modifications to this control unit or to the way it is operated 

which deviate from these instructions. For this reason we can bear 

no legal liability under such circumstances for any malfunction or interruptions 

in operation or for any consequent loss or damage. 

Despatch / delivery 

The packaging of this controller cabinet normally unit is shatterproof and 

will normally ensure adequate protection during despatch. However, if external 

damage is visible even before the box has been opened, the unit 

should be examined carefully for any sign of internal damage. Please contact 

the sender or the firm of PSG PLASTIC SERVICE GMBH so that an assessment 

can be made of any damage. CAUTION: the unit must not be 

taken into operation if there is any suspicion that it has been damaged.

M loop display 

In the main level the actual values are shown in the 8 loopdisplays. The 

loopdisplays are numbered on the frontfoil. 

In the diplay below the name of the parameters in the loopdisplay is 

shown (information display). In the main level you see °C for the actual 

value. 

The LED in the alarm key flashes if an alarm is detected. 

If the LED in the parameter key is shining you see the diplayed parameter 

in the information display (e.g. target value).


If the LED in the hand key is shining at least one loop is in actuator mode. 

In the loop displays is shown which zone is in actuator mode. You have an 

alternating display of the actual value and Stb in the loop diplay. 

If the left LED in the hand key is shining you are in the ‘2nd target value/lowering 

mode’. 

To indicate that the zones are in the standby mode 2So cyclially flashes up 

in the loop displays. 

If no thermocouple is detected 999 is displayed in the loop displays. 

If it is a sensor break Fb cyclially flashes up in the loop display. 

If a wrong sensor polarity is recognised, the information FP will appear in 

the loop display.

Instructions for use 

The controller is operated by means of a keypad on its frontpanel. 

The functions are clearly divided in 3 levels : 

1. After switching on the controller you are in the main level, in which all 

actual temperature values ar shown in the loop display. If you once 

press the manual key (‘Hand key’) the actual gradient angle is diplayed, 

after a second press the actual current is shown. 

You can choose the parameters in dependence on use in two levels. To 

change in the control level or in the parameter level you maust be in 

main level. 

2. All functions can be founded at the control level that are needed for 

the normal daily operation of the controller. You reach the control level 

(user level) with a keyhit. 

3. The parameter level, which you reach with a key combination, contains 

all the functions which as a rule only have to be used once, when 

the unit is being started up or you have a greater change in your configuration. 

You find a list of the controllertypes available from stock in chapter 4. Not 

used parameters are not seen for the user. 

Following the steps if you work with the controller: 

1. Change from main level to control level and choose the wanted parameter. 

The values of all zones are shown in the loopdisplay. 

2. To change a parameter you have to release the input barrier and select 

the zone. Top change the parameter for all loops you have to activate 

the block entry. 

3. Change the values and acknowledge the entry. If there is no acknowledge 

30 seconds after a change the values that have been entered will 

not be saved to file and the old values will remain in effect.

been given the values that have been entered will not be saved to file 

and the old values will remain in effect. 

You save changed values in control or parameter level if you press the 

Loop/Enterkey. 

Leaving control/user- resp. parameter level 

The main level can be reached using the state/escape key. Previously 

changed values have to be acknowledged.

In the following chapter all available parameters of the controller ETR98 

are listed. On the right margin you find the condensation of every parameter 

and the standardvalue stored if delivered from manufactury. In 

case of other configurations the settings are recorded in seperate parameter 

lists. You find the parameterlists for units from the stock in appendix 4. Following 

all temperaturevalues are listed in °C. With parameter CEL you are 

able to change the display to °F. 

Parameters of the control level 

Target value 

zonespezific parameter range: 000...999 

If target value is set to 0 the loop is switched off but the monitoring of the 

current is still activated. 

Gradient angle 

zonespecific parameter range: -99...99 

This parameter indicates the current regulation ratio in % during normal 

regulation mode. The value correspondents to the heating or cooling 

output of a connected heating or cooling unit. 

If the zone is in actuator mode the regulation ratio for actuator mode is entered. 

The regulation ratio manual can be set to other values. 

Current tolerance 

zonenspezific parameter range: 000...99.9 

You can enter the number of A by which the current actual value may 

deviate from the current target value without incurring an alarm signal. 

The value must be about 10% of the set current targetvalue.


Target current 

zonenspezific parameter range: 0...99.9or 0...999 

To monitor the current you need the peripherical cards STI88 and VSW41. 

If the power consumption of the heating is known, this can be entered direct 

at this point. If the power consumption is not known, it is possible to 

measure the current with a current transfer. 

The current monitoring is deactivated if you set the target current to 0 A. 

Parameters of the parameter level 

Actuator mode 

zonespezific parameter range: on/off 

If this parameter is set to on, the closed-loop control is disactivated and 

the controller operates in actuator mode. 

In the loop displays Stb is shown cyclially. The green LED with the % in the 

Hand key is on. 

Lower limit 

zonespecific parameter range: 000...999 

The users enters the number of °C by which the actual value deviate from 

the target value without incurring an alarm signal. In relation to the parameter 

AS2 it can be an absolute or relative value. 

Upper limit 

zonenspezific parameter range: 000...999 

The users enters the number of °C by which the actual value deviate from 

the target value without incurring an alarm signal. In relation to the parameter 

AS1 it can be an absolute or relative value. 

Target value 2/Lowering value 

zonespecific parameter range: 000...999 

This parameter serves the 2nd target. 

2So is shown cyclically in the loop display. 

Temperature increase 


This specifies how quickly the entered target value should change. Normally, 

the entered target value is accepted directly by the controller. This 

parameter enables the target value to be increased, not suddenly, but via 

a ramp. The entered value then terminates the number of degrees by 

which the target value may change in a minute. 000 means that the tem- 

20


perature increase is disactivated. 

Approach hold 

zonespezific parameter range: on / off 

The approach hold function regulates the connected temperature zones 

to 100°C and holds this temperature for the length of time set as the approach 

time, at the end of which it then changes over to the normal regulation 

program or to the pre-set required time. Precondition is that, after a 

reset, an actual value smaller than 60 °C and a target value greater than 

100°C are detected. Afb is shown cyclially in the loop display. 

After the start up time normal regulation mode is activated. 

Approach time 


Time during the approach hold is activated. The remaining approch time 

is shown in the loop display. 

Passive / active zone 

zonespezific parameter range: on / off 

Individual zones can be switched off by setting the parameter to on. Alarm 

functions are not activated in this case. 

Unit of temperature 

parameter for all zones range: on / off 

Definition of the temperatureunit: Celsius (CEL=on) or Fahrenheit 

(CEL=off).
