Output Type Description
B 5A/3A (120/240 Vac) relay, normally open, used for switching resistive loads. If relays or
solenoids are to be driven, select the “T” output. If a “B” output is selected, order snubber
network 235Z005U01.
E 0-20 mA
F 4-20 mA, full output to load with 500 ohm impedance max. (suppressed).
S 20 Vdc pulsed output for solid-state relays.
T 1 A @ 120/240 Vac , solid-state relay, zero voltage-switched and optically isolated from drive
signal. Only resistive loads to may be controlled directly. Larger loads may be controlled
using an external contactor.
Y 5A/3A (120/240 Vac) relay, but normally closed (output 2 only).
Operation
Athena Series 16 Universal Controller
The Series 16 is a full-function, autotuning PID controller, calibrated and pre-configured for your application
requirements, according to the ordering code specified, either as a temperature or linear process controller.
(See page 39 for specifications and ordering code).
Just a few easy steps are required before the instrument can be placed into service. After completing the
mounting and wiring procedures as previously instructed, set your individual process parameter values by
stepping through the Series 16’s setup menus, using the simple front-panel keys as instructed. Then, initiate
the autotuning sequence as shown (or tune manually).
Notes on Outputs
When you ordered your Series 16 controller, a specific output type was specified, designated as either “B”,
“E”, “F”, “S”, “T” or “Y”. You also had the option of configuring your controller with either one or two output
actions. Generally, output 1 is a heat (reverse-acting) function and output 2 is a cool (direct-acting) function.
For best results, follow the recommendations for setting cycle times for the output type supplied with your
controller. A brief description of output types follows:
Mode Key Used to access Standby,
Tune, Run or Manual modes.
Lower Key Used to scroll down through
available parameter settings, decrease values
or change menu levels (Hold for fast-step
progression)
raise Key Used to scroll up through available
parameter settings, increase values or change menu
levels (Hold for fast-step progression)
ParaMeter/access Key Used to index through parameters or to
access Menu Levels
After mounting and wiring your Series
16 controller, you are ready to set the
parameter values required of your
application. Take a moment to
familiarize yourself with the unit’s
front panel controls and indicators.
