1 - Key P : This is used to access the programming parameters
and to confirm selection.
2 - Key DOWN : This is used to decrease the values to be set and
to select the parameters. If the key is held down, the user returns to
the previous programming level until he exits the programming
mode. Outside the programming mode it permits visualisation of
the current measured by the TAHB input, on the SV display.
3 - Key UP : This is used to increase the values to be set and to
select the parameters. If the key is held down, the user returns to
the previous programming level until he exits the programming
mode. Outside the programming mode it permits visualisation of
the output control power, on the SV display.
4 - Key U : This is a key with a function programmable by par.
“USrb”. It can be set to : Activate Auto-tuning and Self-tuning
functions, swap the instrument to manual control, silence the
alarm, change the active Set Point, deactivate control (see par.
4.17) and modify the visibility of the parameters in “ConF” menu
(see par. 2.3).
5 - Led OUT1 : indicates the state of output OUT1
11 - Led SET : it indicates access to the programming mode and
the parameters level (see par. 2.3).
12 - Led TUN : indicates that the Self-tuning function is activated
(light on) or that Auto-tuning (flashing ) is in progress.
13 - Display PV: normally indicates the process value
14 - Display SV: normally indicates the active Set value, however it
can be programmed, using par. “diSP”, to visualize other values.
2 - PROGRAMMING
2.1 - FAST PROGRAMMING OF THE SET POINT
This procedure permits rapid programming of the active Set Point
and possibly the alarm thresholds (see par 2.3)
Push key “P”, then release it and the display will visualise “SP n”
(where n is the number of the Set Point active at that moment) and
the programmed value.
To modify the value, press “UP” key to increase it or the “DOWN”
key to decrease it.
These keys change the value one digit at a time but if they are
pressed for more than one second, the value increases or
decreases rapidly and, after two seconds in the same condition,
the changing speed increases in order to allow the desired value to
be reached rapidly.
Once the desired value has been reached, by pushing key P it is
possible to exit by the fast programming mode or it is possible to
visualise the alarm thresholds AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4 (see par. 2.3).
To exit the fast Set programming it is necessary to push key P,
after the visualisation of the last Set Point, or alternatively, if no key
is pressed for approx. 15 seconds, the display will return to normal
functioning automatically.
2.2 - SELECTION OF THE CONTROL STATE AND
PARAMETERS PROGRAMMING
By pushing key "P" and holding it down for approx. 2 sec. it is
possible to enter into the main selection menu.
S ELFTUNING
A UTO TUNING
2 sec.
Hold for
"O FF"
"rEG "
"O PLO "
Using the "UP" or DOWN” keys, it is then possible to roll over the
selections:
to swap the regulator to the manual control state and
therefore to program the % control value using the
“UP” and “DOWN” keys
"OPLO"
to activate the Auto-tuning or Self-tuning function"tunE"
to swap the regulator into the automatic control state"rEG"
to swap the regulator into the OFF state"OFF"
to enter into the configuration parameters menu"ConF"
to enter into the operating parameters menu"OPEr"
Once the desired item has been selected, push key “P” to confirm.
Selecting "OPEr" and "ConF" gives the possibility of accessing
other menus containing additional parameters and more precisely :
"OPEr" – Operating parameters Menu: this normally contains the
Set Point parameters but it can contain all the desired parameters
(see par. 2.3).

"ConF" – Configuration parameters Menu: this contains all the
operating parameters and the functioning configuration parameters
(alarm configuration, control, input, etc.)
To enter the menu “ConF” select the option “ConF”, press the key
“P” and the display will show “0”.
At this request, enter, using keys “UP” and “DOWN”, the number
reported on the last page of this manual and push key “P”.
If an incorrect password is entered, the instrument exit from
programming mode.
If the password is correct, the display will visualise the code
identifying the first group of parameters (“ ]
SP “) and with keys “UP”
and “DOWN” it will be possible to select the desired group of
parameters.
Once the desired group of parameters has been selected, the code
identifying the first parameter of the selected group will be
visualised by pushing the “P” key.
Again using the “UP” and “DOWN” keys, it is possible to select the
desired parameter and, if the key “P” is pressed, the display will
show the parameter’s code and its programming value, which can
be modified by using the “UP” or “DOWN” keys.
Once the desired value has been programmed, push key “P” once
more: the new value will be memorised and the display will show
only the code of the selected parameter.
By using the “UP” or “DOWN” keys, it is then possible to select a
new parameter (if present) and modify it as described above.
To select another group of parameters, keep the “UP” or “DOWN”
key pressed for approx. 2 sec., afterwards the display will return to
visualise the code of the group of parameters.
Release the key and by using the “UP” and “DOWN” keys, it will be
possible to select a new group.
To exit the programming mode, no key should be pressed for
approx. 20 seconds, or keep the “UP” or “DOWN” pressed until exit
from the programming mode is obtained.
The programming and exit modes for the “OPEr” menu are the
same as those described for menu “ConF” with the difference that
to access the menù "OPEr" the Password is not required.

ATTENTION: The instrument is programmed in factory with all the
parameters, to exception of the Set Point "SP1" (and 2,3,4),
programmable in the menù "ConF" to the purpose to prevent wrong
accidental programming from non experienced consumers.
2.3 - PARAMETERS PROGRAMMING LEVELS
The menu “OPEr” normally contains the parameters used to
program the Set Point; however it is possible to make all desired
parameters appear or disappear on this level, by following this
procedure:
Enter the menu “ConF” and select the parameter to be made
programmable or not programmable in the menu “OPEr”.
Once the parameter has been selected, if the LED SET is switched
off, this means that the parameter is programmable only in the
menu “ConF”, if instead the LED is on, this means that the
parameter is also programmable in the menu “OPEr”.
To modify the visibility of the parameter, push key “U” : the LED
SET will change its state indicating the parameter accessibility level
(on = menu ”OPEr” and “ConF”; off = menu “ConF” only).
The active Set Point and the alarm thresholds will only be visible on
the Set Point fast programming level (described in par. 2.1) if the
relative parameters are programmed to be visible (i.e. if they are
present in the menu “OPEr”).
The possible modification of these Sets, with the procedure
described in par. 2.1, is instead subordinate to what is programmed
in par. “Edit” (contained in the group “ ]
PAn “).
This parameter can be programmed as :
=SE : The active Set Point can be modified while the alarm
thresholds cannot be modified.
=AE : The active Set Point cannot be modified while the alarm
thresholds can be modified
=SAE : Both the active Set Point and the alarm thresholds can be
modified
=SAnE : Both the active Set Point and the alarm thresholds cannot
be modified
2.4 - CONTROL STATE
The controller can act in 3 different ways : automatic control (rEG),
control off (OFF) and manual control (OPLO).
The instrument is able to pass from one state to the other :
- by selecting the desired state from the main selection menu suing
the keyboard.
- By using the key “U” on the keyboard; suitably programming par.
“USrb” (“USrb” = tunE; “USrb” = OPLO; “USrb” = OFF) it is possible
to pass from “rEG” state to the state programmed on the parameter
and vice versa.
- Automatically (the instrument swaps into "rEG" state at the and of
the auto-tuning execution)
When switched on, the instrument automatically reassumes the
state it was in when it was last switched off.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL (rEG) – Automatic control is the normal
functioning state of the controller.
During automatic control, on the SV display, it is possible to
visualize the control power on the display by pushing key “UP”.
The range of the power values goes from H100 (100% of the
output power with reverse action) to C100 (100% of the output
power with direct action).
CONTROL OFF (OFF) – The instrument can be swapped into the
“OFF” state, i.e. the control and the relative outputs are
deactivated.
The alarm outputs are instead working normally.
BUMPLESS MANUAL CONTROL (OPLO) – By means of this
option it is possible to manually program the power percentage
given as output by the controller by deactivating automatic control.
When the instrument is swapped to manual control, the power
percentage, visualised on the SV display, is the same as the last
one supplied and can be modified using the “UP” and “DOWN”
keys.
In case of ON/OFF control, 0% corresponds to the deactivated
output while any value different from 0 corresponds to the activated
output.
As in the case of visualization, the programmable values range
from H100 (100% output power with reverse action) to C100 (100%
output power with direct action).
In case of motorized actuators with time positioning, the manual
control of the output is obtainable in the following way :
- By pushing the UP key, the opening of the actuator is driven
- By pushing DOWN key, the closing of the actuator is driven
For all time during which the manual control is active, “3 Pt” or
“OPEn” is visible on the lower display if the UP key is pressed or
“CLOS” if the DOWN key is pressed.
To return to automatic control, select "rEG" in the selection menu.
2.5 - ACTIVE SET POINT SELECTION
This instrument permits pre-programming of up to 4 different Set
points (“SP1”, “SP2”, “SP3”, “SP4”) and then selection of which
one must be active. The maximum number of Set points is
determined by the par. "nSP" located in the group of parameters “
]
SP “.
The active Set point can be selected :
- by parameter "SPAt" in the group of parameters “ ]
SP “.
- by key “U” if par. "USrb" = CHSP
- by digital input if par. “diF” = CHSP or = SP1.2 or =HECo)
- Automatically between SP1 and SP2 if a time “dur.t” (see par.
4.12) has been programmed.
Set Points “SP1”, “SP2”, “SP3”, “SP4” will be visible depending on
the maximum number of Set Points selected on par. “nSP” and
they can be programmed with a value that is between the value
programmed on par. “SPLL” and the one programmed on par.
“SPHL”.

Note : in all the following examples the Set point is indicated as
"SP", however the instrument will act according to the Set point
selected as active.
3 - INFORMATION ON INSTALLATION AND USE
3.1 - PERMITTED USE
The instrument has been projected and
manufactured as a measuring and control device
to be used according to EN61010-1 for the
altitudes operation until 2000 ms.
The use of the instrument for applications not
expressly permitted by the above mentioned rule must adopt all the
necessary protective measures.
The instrument CANNOT be used in dangerous environments
(flammable or explosive) without adequate protection.
The installer must ensure that EMC rules are respected, also after
the instrument installation, if necessary using proper filters .
Whenever a failure or a malfunction of the device may cause
dangerous situations for persons, thing or animals, please
remember that the plant has to be equipped with additional devices
which will guarantee safety.
3.2 - MECHANICAL MOUNTING
The instrument, in DIN case 48 x 96 mm, is designed for flush-in
panel mounting.
Make a hole 45 x 92 mm and insert the instrument, fixing it with the
provided special brackets.
We recommend that the gasket is mounted in order to obtain the
front protection degree as declared. Avoid placing the instrument in
environments with very high humidity levels or dirt that may create
condensation or introduction of conductive substances into the
instrument.
Ensure adequate ventilation to the instrument and avoid installation
in containers that house devices which may overheat or which may
cause the instrument to function at a higher temperature than the
one permitted and declared.
Connect the instrument as far away as possible from sources of
electromagnetic disturbances such as motors, power relays, relays,
solenoid valves, etc.
The instrument can be removed from its housing from the front side
: it is recommended that the instrument be disconnected from the
power supply when it is necessary to carry out this operation.
3.3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Carry out the electrical wiring by connecting only one wire to each
terminal, according to the following diagram, checking that the
power supply is the same as that indicated on the instrument and
that the load current absorption is no higher than the maximum
electricity current permitted.
As the instrument is built-in equipment with permanent connection
inside housing, it is not equipped with either switches or internal
devices to protect against overload of current: the installation will
include an overload protection and a two-phase circuit-breaker,
placed as near as possible to the instrument, and located in a
position that can easily be reached by the user and marked as
instrument disconnecting device which interrupts the power supply
to the equipment.
It is also recommended that the supply of all the electrical circuits
connected to the instrument must be protect properly, using
devices (ex. fuses) proportionate to the circulating currents.
It is strongly recommended that cables with proper insulation,
according to the working voltages and temperatures, be used.
Furthermore, the input cable of the probe has to be kept separate
from line voltage wiring. If the input cable of the probe is screened,
it has to be connected to the ground with only one side.
We recommend that a check should be made that the parameters
are those desired and that the application functions correctly before
connecting the outputs to the actuators so as to avoid
malfunctioning that may cause irregularities in the plant that could
cause damage to people, things or animals.

4 - FUNCTIONS
4.1 - MEASURING AND VISUALIZATION
All the parameters referring measurements are contained in the
group “]
InP”.
By using par. “HCFG”, it is possible to select the input signal type
which may come: from a thermocouple (tc), a thermo-resistance or
a thermistor (rtd), from a transducer with normalised analogue
signal in current (I) or tension (UoLt) or also from a signal coming
from the communication serial line of the instrument (SEr).
Once the signal type has been selected, it is necessary to set the
type of input probe on par. “SEnS”, which can be :
- for thermocouples J (J), K (CrAL), S (S), B (b), C (C), E (E), L (L),
N (n), R (r), T (t) or for infrared sensors serie TECNOLOGIC IRS –
A range - with linearization J (Ir.J) or K (Ir.CA)
- for thermoresistances Pt100 IEC (Pt1) or thermistors PTC
KTY81-121 (Ptc) or NTC 103AT-2 (ntc)
- for normalised signals in current 0..20 mA (0.20) or 4..20 mA
(4.20)
- for normalised signals in tension 0..50 mV (0.50), 0..60 mV (0.60),
12..60 mV (12.60), 0..5 V (0.5), 1..5 V (1.5), 0..10 V (0.10) or 2..10
V (2.10).
We recommend that the instrument be switched on and off
whenever these parameters are modified, in order to obtain a
correct measurement.
For the instruments with input for temperature probes (tc, rtd) it is
possible to select the unit of measurement (°C, °F) through par.
“Unit”, and the desired resolution (0=1°; 1=0,1°) through par.
“dP”.
Instead, with regards to the instruments with normalised analogue
input signals, it is first necessary to program the desired resolution
on par. “dP” (0=1; 1=0,1; 2=0,01; 3=0,001) and then, on par.
"SSC", the value that the instrument must visualise at the
beginning of the scale (0/4 mA, 0/12 mV, 0/1 V o 0/2 V) and, on
par. "FSC", the value that the instrument must visualise at the end
of the scale (20 mA, 50 mV, 60 mV, 5 V or 10 V).
In the case of infrared sensors (TECNOLOGIC IRS-"A" range), by
programming the sensor as "Ir.J" or "Ir.CA", the par. "rEFL" is also
present and it allows the correction of possible measuring errors
caused by the environment lighting and by the reflectivity of the
material. This parameter should be programmed with a high value
if the material to be measured is particularly bright / reflective and
must be reduced if the surface is particularly dark / not reflective,
keeping in mind however that for most materials, the recommended
value is within 1.00 and 0.80.
The instrument allows for measuring calibration, which may be
used to recalibrate the instrument according to application needs,
by using par. “OFSt” and “rot”.

Programming par. “rot”=1,000, in par. “OFSt” it is possible to set a
positive or negative offset that is simply added to the value read by
the probe before visualisation, which remains constant for all the
measurements.
If instead, it is desired that the offset set should not be constant for
all the measurements, it is possible to operate the calibration on
any two points.
In this case, in order to decide which values to program on par.
“OFSt” and “rot”, the following formulae must be applied :
“rot” = (D2-D1) / (M2-M1) “OFSt” = D2 - (“rot” x M2)
where:
M1 =measured value 1
D1 = visualisation value when the instrument measures M1
M2 =measured value 2
D2 = visualisation value when the instrument measures M2
It then follows that the instrument will visualise :
DV = MV x “rot” + “OFSt”
where: DV = visualised value MV= measured value
Example 1: It is desired that the instrument visualises the value
effectively measured at 20° but that, at 200°, it visualises a value
lower than 10° (190°).
Therefore : M1=20 ; D1=20 ; M2=200 ; D2=190
“rot” = (190 - 20) / (200 - 20) = 0,944
“OFSt” = 190 - (0,944 x 200) = 1,2
Example 2: It is desired that the instrument visualises 10° whilst the
value actually measured is 0°, but, at 500° it visualises a 50° higher
value (550°).
Therefore : M1=0 ; D1=10 ; M2=500 ; D2=550
“rot” = (550 - 10) / (500 - 0) = 1,08
“OFSt” = 550 - (1,08 x 500) = 10
By using par. “FiL” it is possible to program time constant of the
software filter for the input value measured, in order to reduce
noise sensitivity (increasing the time of reading).
In case of measurement error, the instrument supplies the power
as programmed on par. “OPE”.
This power will be calculated according to cycle time programmed
for the PID controller, while for the ON/OFF controllers the cycle
time is automatically considered to be equal to 20 sec. (e.g. In the
event of probe error with ON/OFF control and “OPE”=50, the
control output will be activated for 10 sec., then it will be
deactivated for 10 sec. and so on until the measurement error
remains.).
By using par. “InE” it is also possible to decide the conditions of
the input error, allowing the instrument to give the power
programmed on par. “OPE” as output.
The possibilities of par. “InE” are :
= Or : the condition occurs in case of over-range or probe breakage
= Ur : the condition occurs in case of under-range or probe
breakage
= OUr : the condition occurs in case of over-range or under-range
or probe breakage
Using par. “diSP”, located in the group “]
PAn”, it is possible to set
normal visualization of the SV display which can be the active Set
Point (SP.F), the control power (Pou), the Set Point operating when
there are active ramps (SP.o) or alarm threshold AL1, 2, 3, 4 .
4.2 - OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The instrument’s outputs can be programmed by entering the
group of parameters “]
Out” where different parameters (depending
on the type of outputs - digital or analogue - available on the
instrument) are located.
Note: In the following examples, the number of outputs is
generically indicated withn
- DIGITAL OUTPUTS relay or SSR type :
The par. “OnF” can be set for the following functions :
= 1.rEG : Main control output
= 2.rEG : Secondary control output
= ALno : Alarm output normally open
= ALnc : Alarm output normally closed
= On : Output always activated
= OFF : Output deactivated
The coupling outputs number outputs – number alarms can be
made in the group referring to the alarm to the alarm (“]
AL1, 2, 3,
4”). The option "On" it results usable for the output OUT6 (standard
on all the models) to have an auxiliary supply output for input
sensors
- ANALOGICAL OUTPUTS 0/4..20 mA or 0/2..10 V (only
OUT1,2):
With the parameter “Aorn” it is possible to set the beginning of the
scale used for the output.
This parameter will therefore be set at:
= 0 : if one intends to use the beginning of the scale as equal to 0
(0 mA if the output is 0/4...20 mA, or 0 V if the output is 0/2...10 V)
= no_0 : if one intends to use the beginning of the scale other than
0 (4 mA if the output is 0/4...20 mA, or 2 V if the output is 0/2...10
V)
The parameter “AonF” will be present by which it is possible to
configure the function of the analogical output as:
= 1.rEG : Primary control output
= 2.rEG : Secondary control output
= r.inP : measurement retransmission output
= r.Err : error retransmission output [SP-PV]
= r.SP : Active Set Point retransmission output
= r.SEr : output led by serial communication line of the instrument
= OFF : deactivated output
In the case that analogical output is configured as 1.rEG or 2.rEG
the output signal will be proportional to the control power
calculated by the instrument starting from 0% (output signal
corresponding to the set beginning of the scale) up to 100% (output
signal corresponds to the maximum that can be supplied by the
type of output available).
The analogical control outputs can only be used for PID single
action or dual action controls.
If the set control mode was the ON/OFF type, the analogical output
could only take on the control states 0 % or 100 %.
In the case that the analogical output function should be configured
for the retransmission of the signal, it is therefore necessary to
programme another two parameters which set the minimum and
maximum reference values.
Therefore, in these cases, set the parameter "AonL" with the value
that the instrument must provide the minimum value (0/4 mA or 0/2
V) in output and the value to which the instrument must provide the
maximum value (20 mA o 10 V) to the parameter "AonH" in output.
4.3 - ON/OFF CONTROL (1.rEG)
All the parameters referring to the ON/OFF control are contained in
the group “]
rEG”.
This type of control can be obtained by programming par."Cont" =
On.FS or = On.FA and works on the output programmed as 1.rEG,
depending on the measure, on the active Set Point “SP”, on the
functioning mode "Func” and on the hysteresis "HSEt".
The instrument carries out an ON/OFF control with symmetric
hysteresis if “Cont" = On.FS or with asymmetrical hysteresis if
“Cont” = On.FA.

The control works in the following way : in the case of reverse
action, or heating (“FunC”=HEAt), it deactivates the output, when
the process value reaches [SP + HSEt] in case of symmetrical
hysteresis, or [SP] in case of asymmetrical hysteresis and is then
activated again when the process value goes below value [SP -
HSEt]. Vice versa, in case of direct action or cooling
("Func”=CooL), it deactivates the output, when the process value

reaches [SP - HSEt] in case of symmetrical hysteresis, or [SP] in
case of asymmetrical hysteresis and is activated again when the
process value goes above value [SP + HSEt].
4.4 - NEUTRAL ZONE ON/OFF CONTROL (1.rEG - 2.rEG)
All the parameters referring to Neutral Zone ON/OFF control are
contained in the group “]
rEG”.
This type of control can be obtained when 2 outputs are
programmed respectively as 1.rEG and 2.rEG and the par. “Cont”
= nr .
The Neutral Zone control is used to control plants in which there is
an element which causes a positive increase (ex. Heater,
humidifier, etc.) and an element which causes a negative increase
(ex. Cooler, de-humidifier, etc).
The control functions works on the programmed outputs depending
on the measurement, on the active Set Point “SP” and on the
hysteresis "HSEt".
The control works in the following way : it deactivates the outputs
when the process value reaches the Set Point and it activates the
output 1rEG when the process value goes below value [SP - HSEt],
or it activates the output 2.rEG when the process value goes above
[SP + HSEt].
Consequently, the element causing a positive increase has to be
connected to the output programmed as 1.rEG while the element
causing a negative increase has to be connected to the output
programmed as 2.rEG.

4.5 -SINGLE ACTION PID CONTROL (1.rEG)
All the parameters referring to PID control are contained in the
group “]
rEG”.
The Single Action PID control can be obtained by programming
par."Cont" = Pid and works on the output 1.rEG depending on the
active Set Point “SP”, on the functioning mode "Func” and on the
instrument’s PID algorithm with two degree of freedom.

In order to obtain good stability of the process variable, in the event
of fast processes and with control by digital output, the cycle time
“tcr1” has to have a low value with a very frequent intervention of
the control output.
In this case use of a solid state relay (SSR) is recommended for
driving the actuator.
The Single Action PID control algorithm foresees the setting of the
following parameters :
"Pb" - Proportional Band
"tcr1" - Cycle time of the output 1rEG (digital output only)
"Int" - Integral Time
"rS" - Manual Reset (if “Int =0 only)
"dEr" - Derivative Time
“FuOC” - Fuzzy Overshoot Control
This last parameter allows the variable overshoots at the start up of
the process or at the changing of the Set Point to be avoided.
Please remember that a low value on this parameter reduces the
overshoot while a high value increase it.

4.6 - DOUBLE ACTION PID CONTROLLER (1.rEG - 2.rEG)
All the parameters referred to PID control are contained into the
group “]
rEG”.
The Double Action PID control is used to control plants where there
is an element which causes a positive increment (ex. Heating) and
an element which causes a negative increment (ex. Cooling).
This type of control is obtainable when 2 outputs are programmed
respectively as 1.rEG and 2.rEG and the par. “Cont” = Pid.
The element causing a positive increase has to be connected to
the output programmed as 1.rEG while the element causing a
negative increase has to be connected to the output programmed
as 2.rEG.
The Double Action PID control works on the outputs 1.rEG and
2.rEG depending on the active Set Point “SP” and on the
instrument’s PID algorithm with two degree of freedom.
In order to obtain a good stability of the process variable, in case of
fast processes and with control by digital outputs, the cycle times
“tcr1” and “tcr2” have to have a low value with a very frequent
intervention of the control outputs.
In this case it’s recommended to use solid state relays (SSR) to
drive the actuators.
The Double Action PID control algorithm needs the programming of
the following parameters :
"tcr1" - Cycle time of the output 1rEG
“tcr 2” - Cycle time of the output 2rEG
"rS" - Manual Reset (if “Int =0 only)
"Prat" - Power Ratio or relation between power of the element
controlled by output 2.rEG and power of the element controlled by
output 1.rEG.
4.7 - PID CONTROL FOR MOTORIZED ACTUATORS WITH TIME
POSITIONING (1.rEG - 2.rEG)
All the parameters concerning the PID control for motorised
actuators are contained in the group “]
rEG”.
This type of control is used to control installations that have a
motorised actuator with digital opening and closing controls that
remain at the point they have reached if no command is received
and which are started up when 2 outputs are configured as 1.rEG
and 2.rEG respectively and the parameter “Cont” = 3 Pt is set.
The opening command for actuation will be supplied by the output
configured as 1.rEG while the closing command will be supplied by
the output configured as 2.rEG.
The PID type control for motorised actuators therefore acts on the
outputs 1.rEG and 2.rEG depending on the active Set point “SP”

and the result of the PID control algorithm with two degrees of
liberty for the instrument.
The control system used does not foresee a retroaction for finding
the current position of the actuator.
If the actuator is not fitted with safety stop contacts that interrupt
the actuator at the end of its run it is necessary to equip the
installation with these contacts (SQo, SQc) as shown in the
diagram
S u p p ly
C L O S EO P E N M
S Q o
1 . r E G 2 . r E G
S Q c
T L K 9 4
The PID control algorithm for motorised actuators with time
positioning foresees the setting of the following parameters:
“Pb” - Proportional band
“Int” - Integral time
“rS” - manual reset (only if “Int =0)
“dEr” - Derivative time
“tcor” - time of actuator run.
This is the time, expressed in seconds that is needed for the
actuator to pass from the “completely open” position to “completely
closed” position.
“SHrI” - Minimum control value.
It is the value that the control must have reached (in %) before it
has an effect on the output. It is needed to prevent the control from
intervening too frequently.
“PoSI” - Switch on position.
This is the position that the actuator must reach when the
instrument is switched on. It can have the following values :
nO = the actuator remains where it is,
oPEn = the actuator goes to the “completely open” position,
cLoS = the actuator goes to the “completely closed” position.
If the options "OPEn" or "CloS" are programmed, when it is turned
on the device with activate the output 1.rEG (if "oPEn") or 2.rEG (if
"cLoS") for the time set on parameter "tcor" after which control
begins.
In the event of an error in measurement, the outputs are activated
so that the valve moves to the position fixed by the parameter
“PoSI”.
4.8 - AUTOTUNING AND SELFTUNING FUNCTIONS
All the parameters referring to the AUTO-TUNING and
SELF-TUNING functions are contained in the group “]
rEG”.
The AUTO-TUNING and SELF-TUNING functions permit the
automatic tuning of the PID controller.
The AUTO-TUNING function (FAST or OSCILLATING type)
permits the calculation of the PID parameters by means of a tuning
cycle and, at the end of this operation, the parameters are stored
into the instrument’s memory and remain constant during control.
The SELF-TUNING function (rule based "TUNE-IN") instead allows
control monitoring and the continuous calculation of the parameters
during control.
All functions automatically calculate the following parameters :
"tcr1" - Cycle time of the output 1.rEG
and, for the Double Action PID control, also :
“tcr 2” - Cycle time of the output 2.rEG
"Prat" - Ratio P 2.rEG/ P 1.rEG
To activate the AUTO-TUNING function proceed as follows :
1) Program and activate the desired Set Point.
2) Program par. "Cont" =Pid or =3 Pt if the instrument drives a
motorized actuator with time positioning.
3) Program par. "Func" according to the process to be controlled
through output 1.rEG.
4) Program an output as 2.rEG if the instrument controls a plant
with double action or a motorized actuator with time positioning.
5) Set the parameter "Auto" as:
= 1 - if FAST autotuning is desired automatically, each time the
instrument is switched on, on the condition that the process value
is lower (with “Func” =HEAt) than [SP- |SP/2|] or higher (with
“Func” =CooL) than [SP+ |SP/2|].
= 2 - if FAST autotuning is desired automatically, the next time the
instrument is switched on, on the condition that the process value
is lower (with “Func” =HEAt) than [SP- |SP/2|] or higher (with
“Func” =CooL) than [SP+ |SP/2|], and once the tuning is finished,
the par. “Auto” is automatically swapped to the OFF state
= 3 - if manual FAST autotuning is desired, by selecting par. “tunE”
in the main menu or by key “U” correctly programming as “USrb” =
tunE. The Autotuning will start at the condition that the process
value is lower (with “Func” =HEAt) than [SP- |SP/5|] or higher (with
“Func” =CooL) than [SP+ |SP/5|].
= 4 - if it’s desired to activate the FAST autotuning automatically at
the end of programmed Soft-Start cycle or each time the Set Point
is changed. The Autotuning will start at the condition that the
process value is lower (with “Func” =HEAt) than [SP- |SP/5|] or
higher (with “Func” =CooL) than [SP+ |SP/5|].
= - 1 - if the OSCILLATING autotuning is to be started automatically
each time the instrument is turned on.
= - 2 - if the OSCILLATING autotuning is to be started
automatically when the instrument is turned on the next time and,
once tuning has been completed, the parameter “Auto"=OFF is set
automatically.
= - 3 - if OSCILLATING autotuning is started up manually, by
selecting par. “tunE” in the main menu or by key “U” correctly
programming as “USrb” = tunE.
= - 4 - if OSCILLATING autotuning is to be started automatically
each time the Set Point is changed.
Note : the Autotuning Fast type is particularly rapid and has no
effect on the control as it calculates the parameters during the Set
Point reaching phase.
In order to correctly perform the Autotuning Fast type it’s necessary
that at the start of the cycle there is a certain difference between
the process and the Set Point and for this reason the instrument
activates the Autotuning Fast type only when :
- For “Auto” = 1 or 2: the process value is lower (with “Func”
=HEAt) than [SP- |SP/2|] or higher (with “Func” =CooL) than [SP+
|SP/2|].
- For “Auto” = 3 or 4 : the process value is lower (with “Func”
=HEAt) than [SP- |SP/5|] or higher (with “Func” =CooL) than [SP+
|SP/5|].
The Autotuning Fast type is not advisable when the Set Point is
next to the initial reading or when the measured variable changes
irregularly during the tuning cycle (for reasons due to the process
the variable goes up or down).
In this cases we advice the Autotuning oscillatory type that
activates some ON-OFF control cycles permitting the oscillation of
the process value around the Se Point value and afterward the
control swap to the PID type with those values calculated by the
Autotuning.
6) Exit from the parameter programming.
7) Connect the instrument to the controlled plant.
8) Start up autotuning turning off and on the instrument if “Auto" = 1
or 2, by selecting “tunE” in the main menu (or by correctly
programming key “U” ) if “Auto" = 3, or by varying the Set value if
“Auto" = 4.
At this point, the Autotuning function is started up and is marked by
the turning on of the led TUN.
The regulator starts up a series of operations on the connected
system in order to calculate the most suitable PID regulation
parameters.
If, at the FAST Auto-tuning start, the condition for the lower or
higher process value is not found the display will show “ErAt” and

the instrument will be swapped to normal control conditions
according to the previously programmed parameters.
To make the error “ErAt” disappear, press key P.
The autotuning cycle is limited to a maximum of 12 hours.
If the process has not ended in 12 hours the instrument will show
"noAt" .
Instead, if a probe error should occur, the instrument will interrupt
the cycle being carried out.
The values calculated by Autotuning will be memorized
automatically by the instrument at the end of the correct completion
of the autotuning cycle in the parameters related to PID regulation.
Note : The instrument is already programmed in our factory to
carry out auto-tuning at every instrument switch on ("Auto" = 1).
To activate the SELF-TUNING function proceed as follows
1) Program and activate the desired Set Point.
2) Program par. "Cont" =Pid.
3) Program par. "Func" according to the process to be controlled
through output 1.rEG.
4) Program an output as 2.rEG if the instrument controls a
dual-action plant
5) Program par. "SELF" = yES
6) Exit from the parameter programming.
7) Connect the instrument to the controlled plant.
8) Activate Self-tuning selecting par. “tunE” in the main menu (or
by correctly programming key “U”).
When the Self-tuning function is active, the led TUN is permanently
lit up and all the PID parameters ("Pb", "Int", "dEr", etc.) are no
longer visualized.
To stop the Auto-tuning cycle or deactivate the Self-tuning function
select one of the control types : "rEG", "OPLO" or "OFF" from the
menu “SEL”. If the instrument is switched off during Auto-tuning or
with the Self-tuning function activated, these functions will remain
activated the next time it is switched on.
4.9 - CONTROL POWER LIMITATION
Using this function, it is possible to limit the output control power
(separately for both control outputs) within a minimum limit and a
maximum limit .
It is only possible to use these limits if the PID control is single or
dual action and it may be useful to overcome some mechanical
problems of the actuators such as valves that do not open until the
output has reached at least 20% and/or are already completely
closed when the power has reached 80%.
The PID control of the instrument normally works producing power
between 0 and 100 % in the case of single-action PID and –100
(C) and 100 (H) % in the case of dual-action PID.
The function is therefore deactivated by setting “ro1.L” =0 “ro2.L” =
0 and “ro1.H” =100, “ro2.H” = 100.
By setting different values the power is lowered to within the limits
set in order to use the actuator’s dynamics to the maximum.
The parameters that can be set for this function, contained in the
“]
rEG” block are:
“ro1.L” - minimum power in output from 1.rEG (H)
“ro1.H” - maximum power in output from 1.rEG (H)
“ro2.L” - minimum power in output from 2.rEG (C)
“ro2.H” - maximum power in output from 2.rEG (C)
The limitation is not active under the “OPLO” manual control mode.
4.10 - LIMITATION OF THE CONTROL POWER VARIATION
SPEED
This function makes it possible to limit the variation speed of the
control power in output (separately for both control outputs).
It is only possible to use this function if the PID control is single or
dual action and can be useful for overcoming some problems with
the actuators that may need a slow progressive variation in power.
The parameters that can be set for this function, contained in the
block “]
rEG”, are:
“OPS1” - variation speed of the output power from 1.rEG (H)
expressed in [% / sec].
“OPS2” - variation speed of the output power from 2.rEG (C)
expressed in [% / sec].
The limitation function is deactivated by setting the parameters =
InF and if “OPLO” is not active in manual control mode.
4.11 - SPLIT RANGE FUNCTION
The use of this function is only possible if the PID control is dual
function and can be used to delay or bring forward the intervention
of the actuators commanded by the instrument.
Using this function it is therefore possible to optimise the
intervention of the two actuators in such a way that their actions do
not overlap or so that they overlap so that they obtain the mix of the
two actions of the actuators.
Basically, this means setting two power offsets (one for direct
action and one for reverse action) that set the beginning of the
intervention of the actuator commanded by the output.
The parameters that can be set for this function contained in the
block “]
rEG”, are:
“thr1” : Power threshold at which output 1.rEG begins to operate.
“thr2” : Power threshold at which output 2.rEG begins to operate.
Basically, if one wishes to bring forward the reverse action (1.rEG)
and delay the direct action (2.rEG) it is necessary to set positive
values on parameter “thr1” and negative values on parameter
“thr2”.
In this way, the area within which the two outputs are not activated
at the same time is increased.

Vice versa if one wishes to extend the reverse action (1.rEG) and

tive values on parameter “thr1” and positive values on parameter
“thr2”.
In this way, the area within which the two outputs are activated at
the same time is increased.

4.12 - REACHING OF THE SET POINT AT CONTROLLED
SPEED AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHING BETWEEN TWO SET
POINTS (RAMPS AND DWELL TIME)
All the parameters referring to the ramps functioning are contained
in the group “]
rEG”.
It is possible to reach the set point in a predetermined time (in any
case longer than the time the plant would naturally need). This
could be useful in those processes (heating or chemical
treatments, etc.) where the set point has to be reached gradually,
in a predetermined time.
Once the instrument has reached the first Set Point (SP1) it is pos-
sible to have automatic switching to the second Set Point (SP2) af-
ter a set time, thus obtaining a simple automatic process cycle.
These functions are available for all the programmable controls
(PID single and double action, ON/OFF and Neutral Zone
ON/OFF).
The function is determined by the following parameters :
"SLor" - Gradient of first ramp expressed in unit/minute
"SLoF" - Gradient of second ramp expressed in unit/minute.
"dur.t" - Dwell time of Set Point “SP1” before automatic switching
to Set Point “SP2” (expressed in hrs. and min.).
The functions are deactivated when the relative parameters are =
InF.
If is desired only one ramp (ex. to reach “SP1”) it is enough to
program on the par. "SLor" the desired value.
The ramp "SLor" it will always active at power on and when the
Active Set Point value is changed.

Note: In case of PID control, if Auto-tuning is desired whilst the
ramp function is active, this will not be carried out until the tuning
cycle has been completed. It is therefore recommended that
Auto-tuning be started avoiding activating the ramp function and,
once the tuning is finished, deactivate Auto-tuning (“Auto” = OFF),
program the desired ramp and, if it automatic tuning is desired,
enable the Self-tuning function.
4.13 - SOFT-START FUNCTION
All the parameters referring to the Soft -Start functioning are
rEG”.
The Soft-Start function only works through PID control and allows
the limitation of control power when the instrument is switched on,
for a programmable period of time.
This is useful when the actuator, driven by the instrument, may be
damaged excess power supplied when the application is not yet in
the normal rating. (ex. for certain heating elements).
The function depends on the following parameters :
“St.P” - Soft-Start power
“SSt” - Soft-Start time (expressed in hh.mm)
“HSEt” - End Soft Start cycle threshold
If both parameters are programmed with values other than OFF,
when switched on the instrument gives an output power as
programmed on par. “St.P” for the time programmed on par. “SSt”
or when is reached the absolute value programmed at par. “HSEt”.
Practically, the instrument works in manual condition and switches
to automatic control at the elapsing of time “SSt” or when is
reached the absolute value programmed at par. “HSEt”.
To disable the Soft-Start function simply program par. “SSt” = OFF.
Whenever, a measurement errors occurs during the Soft-Start
execution, the function is interrupted and the instrument gives an
output power as programmed on par. “OPE”.
If the measurement is restored, the Soft-Start is still deactivated.
If it’s desired to activate the Autotuning with Soft-Start set par.
“Auto”=4 / -4
The Autotuning will start automatically at the end of programmed
Soft-Start cycle (see. par. 4.8).
4.14 - ALARMS OUTPUTS FUNCTIONS (AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4)
The alarms depend on the process value (AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4) and
before setting them to work, it is necessary to know which output
the alarm has to correspond to.
First of all it is necessary to configure in the groups of parameters
“]
Out ”, the parameters relative to the outputs required as alarm
(“O1F”, “O2F”, “O3F”, “O4F”, “O5F”, “O6F”) programming the
parameter relating to the desired output as follows :
= ALno if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is active,
while it is OFF when the alarm is not active
= ALnc if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is not
active, while it is OFF when the alarm is active
Note: In all the examples that follow is made reference to the alarm
AL1. Naturally the operation of the other alarms results analogous.
Have now access at the group “]
AL1”, and program on par.
“OAL1” , to which output the alarm signal has to be sent.
The alarm functioning is instead defined by parameters :
"AL1t " - ALARM TYPE
"Ab1" - ALARM CONFIGURATION
“AL1” - ALARM THRESHOLD
“AL1L” - LOW ALARM THRESHOLD (for band alarm) OR
MINIMUM SET OF AL1 ALARM THRESHOLD (for low or high
alarm)
“AL1H” - HIGH ALARM THRESHOLD (for band alarm) OR
MAXIMUM SET OF AL1 ALARM THRESHOLD (for low or high
alarm)
“HAL1” - ALARM HYSTERESIS
“AL1d” - ALARM ACTIVATION DELAY (in sec.)
"AL1i" - ALARM BEHAVIOUR IN THE EVENT OF
MEASUREMENT ERROR
"AL1t" - ALARM TYPE : the alarm output can behave in six
different ways.
LoAb = ABSOLUTE LOW ALARM: The alarm is activated when
the process value goes below the alarm threshold set on parameter
"AL1” and will be deactivated when it goes above the value
[AL1+HAL1].
With this mode is possible to program the minimum and the
maximum set of “AL1” by “AL1L” and “AL1H” parameters.
HiAb = ABSOLUTE HIGH ALARM: The alarm is activated when the
process value goes higher than the alarm threshold set on
parameter "AL1" and will be deactivated when it goes below the
value [AL1 - HAL1].

ways, depending on the value added to par. “Ab1”.
+0 = NORMAL BEHAVIOUR: The alarm is always activated when
there are alarm conditions.

alarm is not activated. It will be activated only when the process
value is in non-alarm conditions and then back in alarm conditions.
"AL1i" - ALARM ACTIVATION IN CASE OF MEASUREMENT
ERROR: This allows one to establish how the alarm have behave
in the event of a measurement error (yES=alarm active; no=alarm
deactivated).
4.15 - HEATER BREAK ALARM FUNCTION (HB)
All the parameters referring to the Heater Break alarm function are
Hb”.
The Heater Break alarm function (Breakage of the heating element)
is only available when the instrument is equipped with the input
(TAHB) to measure the current and if use a digital output to control
the load.
This input accepts signals coming from current transformers (TA)
with max. output 50 mA.
The first operation to be carried out in order to obtain a correct
current measurement, is to set the current that the instrument has
to measure at the end of scale of the input TA (50 mA) on par.

It is necessary to establish to which output the alarm has to
correspond.
To do this it is necessary to set the parameter relative to the output
to be used (“O1F”, “O2F”, “O3F”, “O4F”, “O5F”, “O6F”) in the
groups “]
Out”, programming the parameter as :

= ALno if the alarm output has to be active when the alarm is
active while it is deactivated when the alarm is not active.
= ALnc if the alarm output has to be active when the alarm is not
active while it is deactivated when the alarm is active.
Enter group “]
Hb” and program which output the alarm signal has
to address on parameter “OHb.
The functioning mode of the alarm is instead defined on par.
“HbF” which can be set in the following way :
= 1 : The alarm is active when, with output 1rEG active, the current
measured by the input TAHB is lower than the value programmed
on par. "IHbL" .
= 2 : The alarm is active when, with output 1rEG not active, the cur-
rent measured by the input TAHB is higher than the value pro-
grammed on par. "IHbH" .
= 3 : The alarm is active when, with output 1rEG active, the current
measured by the input TAHB is lower than the value programmed
on par. "IHbL" or with output 1rEG not active, the current meas-
ured by the input TAHB is higher than the value programmed on
par. "IHbH".
= 4 : The alarm is active when the current measured by the input
TAHB is lower than the value programmed on par. "IHbL" or the
measured current is higher than the value programmed on par.
"IHbH", independently by the state of the output 1.rEG.
On par. “IHbL” the value of the current normally absorbed by the
load when output 1.rEG is active has to be set, while on par. “IHbH”
the current normally absorbed by the load when output 1.rEG is not
active.
The programming of these parameters has to be carried out while
also considering the fluctuations of the net voltage to avoid
undesired alarms.
With regards to the hysteresis of the HB alarm, this is automatically
calculated by the instrument as 1% of the programmed thresholds.
During functioning it is possible to visualize the current measured
by the input TAHB when output 1rEG is activated, by pushing the
“DOWN” key and the current measured when output 1.rEG is deac-
tivated, by pushing the “DOWN” and “U” keys at the same time.
To exclude the Heater Break alarm it is enough to set “OHb” =
OFF.
Note : The HB current measurement is valid if the output 1rEG is
activated (or deactivated) for 264 ms. at least.
This means that, if the cycle time (“tcr1”) is = 1 sec, the HB alarm is
able to intervene only when the output power is higher than 26,4%.
4.16 - LOOP BREAK ALARM FUNCTION
All the parameters referring to the Loop Break alarm function are
LbA”.
The Loop Break alarm is available on all the instruments, which
intervenes when, for any reason (short-circuit of a thermocouple,
thermocouple inversion, load interruption), the loop control is
interrupted.
First of all, it is necessary to establish to which output the alarm
has to correspond.
To do this it is necessary to set the parameter relative to the output
to be used (“O1F”, “O2F”, “O3F”, “O4F”, “O5F”, “O6F”) in the
groups “]
Out ”, programming the parameter as :
= ALno if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is active
while it is OFF when the alarm is not active.
= ALnc if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is not
active while it is OFF when the alarm is active.
Enter group “]
LbA” and program which output the alarm signal
has to be addressed to on par. “OLbA”.
The Loop Break alarm is activated if the output power remains at
the 100% of the value for the time programmed on par. "LbAt"
(expressed in sec.).
To avoid false alarms, the value of this parameter has to be set
considering the time the plant takes to reach the Set point when
the measured value is a long distance from it (for example at the
plant start-up).
On alarm intervention, the instrument visualizes the message
“LbA” and behaves as in the case of a measurement error giving a
power output as programmed on par. “OPE” (programmable in
the group “]
InP”).
To restore normal functioning after the alarm, select the control
mode “OFF” and then re-program the automatic control (“rEG”)
after checking the correct functioning of probe and drive.
To exclude the Loop Break alarm, set “OLbA” = OFF.
4.17 - FUNCTIONING OF KEY “U”
The function of key “U” can be set through par. “USrb” contained
in the group ““]
PAn”.
The parameter can be programmed as :
= noF : no function
= tunE : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to
activate/deactivate Auto-tuning or Self-tuning
= OPLO : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to swap
from automatic control (rEG) to manual one (OPLO) and vice
versa.
= Aac : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to
acknowledge the alarm. (see par. 4.14)
= ASi : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to
acknowledge an active alarm (see par. 4.14)
= CHSP : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to select
one of the 4 pre-programmed Set Points on rotation.
= OFF : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to swap
from automatic control (rEG) to OFF control (OFF) and vice versa.
4.18 - DIGITAL INPUT
The instrument is equipped with 2 digital inputs whose function can
be set by the parameter "diF" contained in the group “]
InP”.
The parameter can be programmed as:
= noF : the input does not carry out any function
= AaC : By closing the contact connected to the digital input, it is
possible to reset a memorised alarm (see par. 4.14)
= ASi: By closing the contact connected to the digital input, it is
possible to silence an active alarm (see par. 4.14)
= HoLd: By closing the contact connected to the digital input the
measurement taken at that moment is blocked (N.B.: not the
reading on the display, therefore the indication may stabilise itself
with a delay that is proportional to the measuring filter). With the
hold function turned on, the instrument carries out control
according to the memorised measurement. By opening the contact,
the instrument starts normal measurement acquisition once more.
= OFF : When the instrument is in “rEG” status, by closing the
contact connected to the digital input, the instrument is placed in
OFF status. By reopening the contact, the instrument returns to the
automatic control status “rEG”.
= CHSP : by closing and reopening the contact connected to the
digital input, it is possible to select one of the 4 memorised set
points in rotation.
= SP1.4 : The following combination of the connected contacts to
the two digital entries allows the activation of one of the 4
memorized set points.

SET POINTDIG IN2DIG IN1
The function can be activated using “nSP” = 4 , also, when it is acti-
vated, it disables the selection of the active set by the parameter
“SPAt” and by the key U.
= HE.Co : by closing the contact connected to the digital input it is
possible to select as active the set point SP2 in “CooL” mode. Reo-
pening the contact is select as active the set point SP1 in “HEAt”
mode. This function is possible only when “nSP” = 2.
4.19 - RS 485 SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument can be equipped with a RS 485 serial
communication interface, by means of which it is possible to
connect the regulator with a net to which other instruments
(regulators of PLC) are connected, all depending typically on a
personal computer used as plant supervisor. Using a personal
computer it is possible to acquire all the function information and to
program all the instrument’s configuration parameters. The
software protocol adopted for TLK94 is a MODBUS RTU type,

widely used in several PLC and supervision programs available on
the market (protocol manual is available on request).
The interface circuit allows the connection of up to 32 instruments
on the same line.
To maintain the line in rest conditions a 120 Ohm resistance (Rt)
must be connected to the end of the line.
The instrument is equipped with two terminals called A and B which
have to be connected with all the namesake terminals of the net.
For the wiring operation it is advisable to adopt a screened cable
wired as in the drawing.

If the instrument is equipped with a serial interface, the parameters
to be programmed are the following, all present in the parameters
group “]
SEr” :
"Add" : Address of the station. Set a different number for each
station, from 1 to 255.
"baud" : Transmission speed (baud-rate), programmable from
1200 to 38400 baud. All the stations have to have the same
transmission speed.
"PACS" : Programming access. If programmed as "LoCL" this
means that the instrument is only programmable from the
keyboard, if programmed as "LorE" it is programmable both from
the keyboards and serial line.
If an attempt is made to enter the programming from the keyboard
whilst a communication through the serial port is in progress the
instrument will visualise "buSy" to indicate the busy state.
4.20 - PARAMETERS CONFIGURATION BY “ A01”
The instrument is equipped with a connector that allows the trans-
fer from and toward the instrument of the functioning parameters
through the device TECNOLOGIC A01 with 5 poles connector.
This device it’s mainly useable for the serial programming of the
instruments which need to have the same parameters configuration
or to keep a copy of the programming of an instrument and allow its
rapid retransmission. To use the device A01 it’s necessary that the
device or instrument are being supplied.
