4.2 Wiring Connections
Refer to the wiring diagram on the side of the unit and the instructions below for correct connections. Use appropriate gauge wires for all connections.

Figure 4.2: Detailed wiring diagram on the side of the MC701 unit, showing connections for power, sensor input, SSR, and relay outputs.
- Power Supply (85-265VAC): Connect to terminals 8 and 9.
- SSR Output (OUT): Connect to terminals 10 (+) and 11 (-).
- Relay Output (RELAY): Connect to terminals 13 (NO - Normally Open) and 14 (NC - Normally Closed). Terminal 12 is the common (COM).
- RTD Input (PT100): Connect to terminals 4 (A), 5 (B), and 6 (B).
- Thermocouple Input (TC): Connect to terminals 5 (+) and 6 (-).
- Alarm Outputs (AL1, AL2): Connect to terminals 1, 2, and 3.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Ratidza Pamusoroview
The MC701 features a dual display:
- PV (Process Value): Displays the current measured temperature.
- SV (Set Value): Displays the desired target temperature.
Indicator lights:
- OUT: Indicates output status (heating/cooling).
- AT: Auto-tuning indicator.
- ALM1, ALM2: Alarm indicators.
5.2 Bhatani Mabasa
- SET: Enters parameter setting mode or confirms a setting.
- < (R/S): Shifts cursor during setting, or resets alarm.
- V (Down Arrow): Decreases value during setting.
- ^ (Up Arrow): Increases value during setting.
5.3 Kugadzirisa Tembiricha Yakatarwa (SV)
- Press the SET bhatani kamwe chete. Chiratidziro cheSV chinotanga kupenya.
- Shandisa iyo ^ uye V mabhatani ekugadzirisa tembiricha yaunoda.
- Shandisa iyo < button to shift the cursor for faster adjustment.
- Press SET again to confirm the new SV and exit the setting mode.
5.4 Mitemo Yepamusoro Yekugadzirisa
To access advanced parameters (e.g., PID parameters, alarm settings, input type, temperature unit), press and hold the SET button for several seconds until the first parameter code appears on the PV display.
- Shandisa ^ uye V to navigate through parameters.
- Press SET ku view kana kugadzirisa kukosha kweparameter.
- Rongedza kukosha uchishandisa ^, V,uye <.
- Press SET to save the value and return to the parameter list.
- To exit advanced settings, press and hold SET again, or wait for a timeout.
6. Kuchengeta
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MC701 controller.
- Cleaning: Wipe the display and casing nemucheka munyoro, wakaoma. Usashandise abrasive cleaners kana solvents.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation slots on the sides of the unit are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
- Storage: If storing the unit, keep it in a dry, dust-free environment within its specified operating temperature range.
7. Kugadzirisa matambudziko
| Dambudziko | Zvinogona Kukonzera | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chiratidziro chinoratidza "HHHH" kana "LLLL" | Sensor open circuit or short circuit; temperature exceeds range. | Check sensor wiring and connection. Verify sensor type matches setting. Ensure temperature is within range. |
| Controller kwete kudziyisa/kutonhora | Output wiring incorrect; SV not set correctly; PID parameters need tuning. | Check output wiring (SSR/Relay). Confirm SV is set to desired temperature. Perform auto-tuning if necessary. |
| Temperature fluctuates widely | PID parameters not optimized; sensor placement. | Perform auto-tuning. Ensure sensor is placed correctly and securely. |
| Hapana dambudziko rekuratidza/simba | Hapana magetsi; waya dzisina kururama. | Check power connections (terminals 8 & 9). Verify power source is active. |
