Putting Your Control To Work To put your Series 980/985 to work, we suggest the following steps: Read the User’s Manual. Plan your installation and wiring. Cut the panel mounting hole and install the control. Wire your Series 980/985 to the system. Start the system and tune the Series 980/985.
Chapter 2 How to Install and Wire the Series 9801985 System Planning This chapter tells you how to install the Series 980/985. All mounting and wiring information is right here. Because Watlow controls are thoroughly tested and "burned in" before leaving the factory, the Series 980/985 is ready to install when you receive it.
Noise Sources Switches and relay contacts operating inductive loads such as motor, coils, solenoids, and relays, etc. Thyristors or other semiconductor devices which are not zero crossover-fired (randomly-fired or phase angle-fired devices). All welding machinery.
• Ground loops must be eliminated in the entire control system. There are obvious loops which can be spotted by studying the"as-built" wiring diagram. There are also the not-so-obvious ground loops that result from the technique of connecting internal circuit commons in the manufacturer's equipment.
"Islatros" and other similar power line filters are designed to carry the power for the control circuit and “buffer” the control circuit from A.C. line noise. Devices like the lslatrol use media (electromagnetic filtering) other than electric circuits to filter out electrical noise.
Line Filtering Configurations For Controls Figure 3 - These three diagrams show you filter configurations for removing input power noise. Choose the one best suited for your system. For very dirty or critical applications - use a microcomputer-regulated power supply or Uninterruptable Power Supply (U.
How to Install the Series 980/985 Figures 6,7 and 8 provide the Series 980/985’s panel cutout and dimensions. Do not, however, make your panel cutout until you are sure that you are placing the control in the best location. Read the noise guidelines at the beginning of this chapter before installing and wiring the Series 980/985.

Setup Parameters At the top of the menu, the Series 980/985 displays the user level of operation in the Upper display, and the LOC parameter in the Lower display. When pressing the MODE key, the value of the next parameter appears in the Upper display, and the parameter itself is in the Lower display.
Latching: Selects whether the output is latching or non-latching when Output 2 is an alarm. Latching alarms must be cleared before the alarm output will reset. Non-latching automatically resets the alarm output when the condition clears. The range is LAt or nLA, default is nLA.

Chapter 5 How to Tune and Operate Tuning - Automatic Auto-tuning: The Series 9801985 gives you the capability to automatically tune the PlD parameters to fit the characteristics of your particular thermal system. The auto-tuning procedure operates on a thermal response value - slow, medium, or fast.
Tuning - Manual For optimum control performance, tune the Series 985 to the thermal system The tuning settings here are meant for a broad spectrum of applications; your system may have somewhat different requirements. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Apply power to the Series 965 and enter a set point.
Indication of Auto/Manual operation is the LED located on the AUTO/MAN key. When the LED is ON, the control is in the Manual operation, an alarm condition is present, and the output de-energizes. When the LED is OFF, the control is in AUTO operation and the alarm is energized.
