This document describes the UTC-2202G Temperature Controller, a device designed for precise temperature management.
Function Description
The UTC-2202G is a temperature controller that offers various control modes and features for industrial applications. Its primary function is to regulate temperature based on user-defined set points and parameters. The device supports different input types (J, K, PT-100, J.1, K.1, PT.1) and provides multiple control outputs, including PID, ON-OFF, and alarm functions. It also incorporates a "Soak Time" feature, allowing the process to be held at a preset temperature for a specified duration.
The controller can operate in several cases, including:
- Case 1: Heat + Soak + Alarm: For processes requiring heating, a soak period, and alarm notifications.
- Case 2: Heat + Heat: For dual heating applications.
- Case 3: Heat + Cool: For applications requiring both heating and cooling control.
- Case 4: Heat + Alarm: For heating with alarm functionality.
- Case 5: Cool + Cool: For dual cooling applications.
- Case 6: Cool + Alarm: For cooling with alarm functionality.
- Case 7: Alarm + Alarm: For dual alarm functionality.
The device features an Auto-tuning function that automatically calculates and sets optimal Proportional band (Pb), Integral time (It), Derivative time (dt), and cycle time parameters based on the process characteristics. A dedicated LED indicates when Auto-tuning is active. If power is interrupted during auto-tuning, the process will restart upon power restoration.

Usage Features
Key Operation:
- SET: To enter parameter setting.
- A (Up Arrow): To start/stop PID auto tuning, increment parameter value.
- V (Down Arrow): To go to factory setting mode (press 3 sec), decrement parameter value.
- ENT: To reset process after soak time end, save & exit parameter setting.
Parameter Setting:
- Set Point Setting: Allows setting of primary (PV) and secondary (SV) values, and alarm limits (LO, HI).
- Control Parameter Setting: Configures PID parameters (Pb, It, dt, Ct), cooling parameters (C-Pb, C-On, C-Off), and alarm parameters (AL.n, AL.n2).
- Basic Configuration: Sets input type (In.Pt) and control logic cases (Heat + Soak + Alarm, Heat + Heat, etc.).
Soak Time Function:
- Allows holding the process at a preset temperature for a preset time (0 to 999 hours).
- Displays "End" when soak time is completed. Pressing ENT for 3 seconds restarts the process.
- Soak Time Memory (READ): If power fails, "YES" indicates remaining soak time continues on power-up; "nO" indicates soak time restarts.
- Soak Time End (End): If "SAVE" is applied in configuration, the "End" display persists after power failure and resets only by pressing ENT for 3 seconds.
Error Display:
- OPEN: Sensor not connected, over-range condition, or sensor break.
- Sr.E: Sensor connection is reversed.
- Corrective Action: Check sensor and input wiring. If the problem persists, replace the sensor or contact the company.
Status LED Description:
- 1: Soak Time counting indication.
- 2: Control O/P 1.
- 3: Control O/P 2.
- 4: Auto Tuning on indication.
Maintenance Features
Mechanical Installation Guidelines:
- Prepare the panel cutout with specified dimensions.
- Fit the unit into the panel using the provided clamp.
- Ensure the equipment is not near heat sources, caustic vapors, oils, steam, or other unwanted byproducts.
- Use specified size crimp terminals (M3.5 screws) for wiring the terminal block, tightening to 1.2 N.m.
- Do not connect anything to unused terminals.
Maintenance:
- Regularly clean the equipment to prevent blockage of ventilating parts.
- Clean with a soft cloth; do not use isopropyl alcohol or other cleaning agents.
- Fusible resistor must not be replaced by the operator.
Safety Precautions:
- Always follow safety codifications and instructions in the manual.
- Improper handling may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
- Read instructions before installation and operation.
- WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
- Power supply must be OFF during wiring.
- Do not touch terminals when power is supplied.
- Use adequate rated and twisted wires for reduced electromagnetic interference.
- Cable for power connection must have a cross-section of 1mm or greater with insulation capacity of at least 1.5kV.
- Use standard power supply cable for better anti-noise effect.
Installation Guidelines:
- The equipment is built-in type and typically becomes part of a main control panel, making terminals inaccessible to the end user after installation.
- Prevent metal pieces, wire clippings, or fine metallic fillings from entering the product to avoid safety hazards.
- Install a circuit breaker or mains switch between the power source and supply terminal for easy ON/OFF control, located in an accessible place.
- Use and store the instrument within specified ambient temperature and humidity ranges.
