Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property 
damage.
Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring 
or making wiring connections, to prevent electrical 
shock or equipment damage.
If any wiring changes are required, first be sure to remove 
power from the controller before starting work. Pay 
particular attention to verifying the power connection (24, 
120, or 240 Vac).
After the controller is installed and wired, apply power.
Power Loss
The date and time settings are retained for 24 hours after 
a power outage. After a power loss of more than 24 hours, 
the date and time settings may need to be reentered. All 
other settings are stored permanently.
Temperature Sensor Calibration
As wire length increases, resistance increases and thus 
the temperature reading increases. If necessary, calibrate 
the sensor input by reducing the value by the amount 
shown in the Table 3. For example, a wire run with 18 
gauge wire of 1,000 feet, requires a calibration offset of 
-6.0° F (-21° C).
IMPORT ANT
If the calibration value in the table exceeds the 
controller’s calibration limits of +/-10° F (+/-6° C), 
you must use a heavier gauge wire.
For example, with a wire run of 1,000 feet you 
must use 20 AWG wire or heavier in order to 
calibrate for wire loss within the limits of the 
controller.
See “2.2.2.2. CALIBRATE (the sensor)” on page 18 for 
the instructions to enter the calibration value.
Fig. 23 shows how sensor resistance varies with 
temperature for a sensor having a positive temperature 
coefficient (PTC) of 2.1 Ohms per degree F (3.85 Ohms 
per degree C)
