Current Transformer Input for OUT 1 Heater Breakdown Detection
(Optional, 7SF only) This feature allows measurement of the OUT 1 load current by means of a current transformer and signals an alarm condition when the current is below a pre-programmed threshold value.
Input Range: 50 mAac.
Scaling: Configurable from 10 Amps to 100 Amps (with a 1 Amp step).
Resolution: - for full scale up to 20 Amps: 0.1 Amp.
- for full scale from 21 Amps to 100 Amps: 1 Amp.
Active Period: - for relay output: NO or NC configurable.
- for SSR output: logic level 1 or 0 configurable.
Minimum On time to perform the measurement: 50 ms.
NOTE: The heater breakdown detection feature precludes the use of logic inputs and external setpoint selection.

Logic Inputs
The 7SF is equipped with a logic input used to select between the main and auxiliary setpoint (SP or SP2). Use an external contact with a contact rating greater than 0.5 mA, 5Vdc. The instrument needs 100 ms to recognize a contact status variation.
NOTE: This function excludes the current transformer input (Output 1 heater breakdown alarm).

Setpoints
Two setpoints are available: - Main Setpoint (SP).
- Auxiliary Setpoint (SP2).
Setpoint Transfer: Transfer between SP1 and SP2 can be driven by logic input (contact closure). The transfer can be by a step or by a ramp with two different configurable rates of change (ramp up and ramp down).
Setpoint Limiters: Setpoint low limit and setpoint high limit are configurable.

Control Action
Algorithm: PID + Smart AT.
Type: One (heating) or two (heating/cooling) control outputs.
Proportional Band: Configurable
- From 1.0% to 100.0% of the input span for process with one control output.
- From 1.5% to 100% of the input span for process with two control outputs.
Setting the PB equal to zero changes the control action to ON/OFF.
Hysteresis (for ON/OFF control action): Configurable from 0.1% to 10.0% of the input span.
Integral Time: Configurable from 20 seconds to 20 minutes or excluded.
Derivative Time: Configurable from 1 second to 10 minutes or excluded.
Integral Preload: Configurable: - for 1 control output, from 0 to 100% of the output range.
- for 2 control outputs, from -100% to +100% of the heating/cooling output range.
Out 1 (heating) Cycle Time: From 1 to 200 seconds.
AUTO/MANUAL Mode: Selectable by front pushbutton or logic input.
AUTO/MANUAL Transfer: Bumpless.
Two Control Outputs (heating/cooling)
Relative Cooling Gain: Keyboard configurable from 0.20 to 1.00.
Cooling Cycle Time: From 1 to 200 seconds.
Overlap/Deadband: Keyboard configurable from -20% (deadband) to +50% (overlap) of the proportional band.
Note: By setting the proper cooling medium (air, oil or water) during configuration, the instrument will automatically set the cooling (OUT 2) parameters.

Control Outputs
Type: Time Proportioning.
Direct/Reverse Action: Keyboard configurable.
Output Level Indication: Separate displays for the Output 1 level (heating) and the Output 2 level (cooling).
Output Status Indication: Two LED indicators (OUT 1 and OUT 2) are lit when their respective output is ON.
Output Level Limiter: - For 1 control output: From 0 to 100% of the output span.
- For 2 control outputs: From -100 to 100% of the main (heating) output span.
This function may operate at instrument startup for a configurable time. To avoid thermal shock and/or preheating, it can be left active.
Relay Outputs Output Cycle Time: Configurable from 1 to 99 seconds.
Output 1: SPDT contact. The selection of the NO or NC contact is made by jumper.
Contact Rating: 3 Amps at 250 Vac on resistive load.
Output 2 (Cooling): SPST contact with rated current 2 Amps at 250 Vac on resistive load.
Logic Voltage for SSR Driver (Output 1 Only):
Logic Level 0: Vout less than 0.5 Vdc.
Logic Level 1: 14 Vdc ±20% @ 17 mA max.
24 Vdc ±20% @ 1 mA max.
Output Safety Value: When the instrument detects an out of range or a sensor break condition, it can force the output to a configurable safety value.

Output “Turn Off” Function
This function disables the control output allowing the instrument to operate as an indicator. When control is resumed, “turn off” is disabled and the instrument will operate as follows: the integral component of the output signal will be set to zero, the soft start function will be enabled, and the alarm masking function will be enabled.

Alarms
This instrument is equipped with two independent outputs configurable as:
- Heating + Alarm 1
- Heating + Cooling
An optional output is available as Alarm 2 or the heater breakdown alarm output.
Output Action: Direct or reverse function configurable.
Alarm Functions: Each alarm can be configured as process alarm, band alarm or deviation alarm.
Alarm Reset: Automatic or manual reset programmable on each alarm.
Alarm Masking: Each alarm can be configured as masked alarm or standard alarm. Alarm masking allows suppression of alarm indicators at startup and after a setpoint change.
Alarm Indication: Two indicators show when the respective alarm is ON.
Alarm Outputs: Two SPST relays. Contact rated at 2 Amps, 250 Vac on resistive load.
Process Alarm Operating Mode: High or low configurable.
