STE-6000 Series Room Temperature Sensors 6 Applications Guide
Controller Configuration
Overview
For an STE-6012/6016 sensor, the controller will need
two inputs (thermistor and setpoint), one output,
and a common (ground) signal lines.
Since an STE-6012/6016 sensor has 0–5 volt outputs
for both the temperature and the setpoint lines,
turn o the corresponding 10,000 ohm pull-up
resistors on the controller board! Consult the
controller’s setup instructions for information on
turning o the pull-up resistors. For the other STE-
6000 series sensors, do not turn o the resistors on
the controller board as stated for the STE-6012/6016.
Controller conguration instructions are given for
both WinControl and BACstage. See the relevant
soware section.
Setpoint Voltage Input (STE-6012/6016 only)
NOTE: On the controller board, turn o the 10,000
ohm pull-up resistor.
1. In the WinControl soware main menu, select
Control > Inputs.
2. Click Edit.
3. Type in a name in the Description eld and/or
Label eld.
4. Click Units (which opens the Congure Inputs
screen).
5. Select Type: Analog if it is not the default.
6. Select 0–5 Volts.
NOTE: The voltage will be used in the formula of
line 30 of the Control Basic sample to equal
the setpoint temperature.
7. Click OK.
8. Click End Edit.
9. Click OK.
WinControl
Thermistor Input (All)
NOTE: On the controller board, turn o the 10,000
ohm pull-up resistor (for STE-6012/6016
only).
1. In the WinControl soware main menu, select
Control > Inputs.
2. Click Edit.
3. Type in a name in the Description eld (up to 20
characters) and/or Label eld (up to 8 characters).
NOTE: No two labels or descriptions in a controller
can be identical.
4. Click Units (which opens the Congure Inputs
screen).
5. Select Type: Analog if it is not the default.
6. Select Deg F (or C) KMC10K Type II.
7. Optionally, to match the STE-6012/6016 LCD
display value with the value used by the
controller, adjust the Calibration value if desired.
8. Optionally, change Format from 0 to the desired
number of temperature decimal places.
9. Optionally, change the Average to the desired
number of thermistor readings averaged before
displaying the result.
10. Click OK.
11. Click End Edit.
12. Click OK.
