Overview

Model 5C6-323 is a microprocessor based temperature controller offering several unique features. The proportional and integral control mode provides very stable operation. The two sensor options permit extra flexibility and control functions. One sensor may be used as the control sensor with the second sensor used as a temperature limit monitor. Open board construction for behind the panel mounting minimizes installation wiring. Digital display provides visual indication of the set temperature, either sensor temperature, and can indicate in either °C. or °F.

The standard temperature offered is 25 to 120°C. The panel switches allow the user to toggle between the set temperatures, either sensor, °C. or °F. indication, and control sensor selection. All parameter selections are stored in non-volatile memory. The display resolution is .1 for 25.0 to 99.9 and 1 from 100 to 120. Indications of --- on the display is for special selection mode and F—indicates a failed sensor condition.

This is a  "Zero Voltage Switching" AC controller. It uses 120 VAC ±20%, 60 Hz line voltage for input and output power. The timebase is 1 second. Proportional control is achieved by using a portion of a second. 100% power means the output power is always on. 50% power means output power is on for 1/2 second and then off for 1/2 second. 25% power means it is on for 1/4 second and off for 3/4 second. Your application may require a different timebase and we can help you decide whether this or some other controller is appropriate for your thermal system.

Customized temperature ranges are available.

Customized repackaging of the circuit board is available.

• Input Power: 120 VAC, ±20%, 60 Hz
• Heater Power
• Imax: 10 amperes.
• Control Mode:Proportional Bandwidth plus Integral Gain (PI).
• Control Type: "Zero Voltage Switching" of the line voltage (rather than phase modulated or a voltage based variac).
• Timebase: 1 Second.
• Temperature Range: Standard temperature is 25 to 120°C. Customized temperature ranges are available.
• Sensing: Either Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 may be used for the entire control range. When Sensor 2 is used as the control sensor, Sensor 1 will limit the temperature to 15° above the set temperature. This limit of 15° will be in °F. or °C. dependent of the display selection.
• PC Board Size: 2.00" x 7.50" x .38" (Panel Side) & .88" (Component Side). Customized repackaging of the circuit board is available. 

Note: A similar controller is available in an eclosure as the Model 5C6-357 (pictured above). 15 Amperes.

Layout of switches and indicators.

SET TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
To read the set temperature, actuate the switch to the right of the display (SW1) until the "set temperature" LED (CR2) is illuminated. Additional actuation of this switch will indicate the two sensor temperatures when the corresponding LED’s (CR1 and CR3) are illuminated.

CHANGING SET TEMPERATURE
To change the set temperature, actuate the switch to right of the display (SW1) until the "set temperature" (CR2) LED is illuminated. Set temperature will increase when the switch (SW2) is depressed and will decrease when the switch (SW3) is depressed.

DISPLAY SCALE AND SENSOR CONTROL MODE SELECTION
To change the display scale or the control mode, actuate the switch to the right of the display (SW1) until the LED (CR1) is illuminated. Then depress the switch (SW3) key and hold for approximately 5 seconds until"---" appears on the display. The switch (SW2) will then toggle between the four possible combinations of the "display scale" LED (CR5) and the "sensor control" mode LED (CR4). The "display" LED (CR5) is illuminated for degrees F. and is off for degrees C. The "control" LED (CR4) is illuminated for the primary sensor control mode and is off for the alternate sensor control mode. Depressing either the switch (SW3) or the switch to the right of the display (SW1) will place the controller back in the normal mode and store the selections to non-volatile memory.
