The CN38S Series offers an innovative solution for programming through an ergonomic keypad which uses the technology “Sensitive Touch”. This sensor keyboard guarantees complete protection from dust and liquids in every critical environmental situation. Providing on/off control or PID control with Autotune, this controller is the solution for many applications. The CN38S series offers a soft start feature. This function makes it possible to eliminate thermal shock and mechanical stress (due to dilatation) that a system undergoes during start up. In other cases the aim is that of slowing down the increase in temperature in such a way that this can spread itself out evenly inside the material, especially when the machine is equipped with ‘stirrers’ that cannot be started up at room temperature. The CN38S also offers a compressor protection time feature, where some actuators, compressors, and pumps cannot be turned off or turned back on too quickly for their constructive characteristics. To protect the working life of the device it therefore becomes essential to be able to activate a timer that guarantees the minimum time between the switching off of the machine and the following start up. ## **Specifications** **Power Supply:** 12 Vac/Vdc, 24 Vac/Vdc, 100 to 230 Vac/Vdc (±10%) **Power Consumption:** Maximum 6VA **Device Class:** Class II **Nominal Pulse Voltage:** 2.5 KV **Category of Overvoltage:** II **Isolation:** Reinforced isolation between low voltage (input and output relay) and frontal parts; reinforced isolation between low voltage and very low voltage parts (inputs, static outputs) ## **Thermocouple Input** **Type:** J, K programmable **Resolution:** 0.1°C with automatic scale change **Unit of Measurement:** °C or °F programmable **Cold Junction:** Automatic compensation 0 to 50°C **Cold Junction Accuracy:** 0.1°C/°C @ 25°C after a warm-up (instrument switch-on) of 20 minutes **Calibration:** According to EN 60584-1 ## **CN38S-TC-R1-R2 shown actual size.** **Burn-Out:** At the end of scale **Thermocouple Type Range:** **J:** -40 to 999°C (-40 to 999°F) **K:** -40 to 999°C (-40 to 999°F) **RTD** **Type:** Pt 100 and Pt 1000, 2-wire **Resolution:** 0.1°C with automatic scale change **Unit of Measurement:** °C or °F programmable **Burn-Out:** At the end of scale **RTD Range:** -50 to 850 (-58 to 999°F) -50.0 to 99.9 (-58.0 to 99.9°F) ## **Thermistor Input** **Type: PTC:** 990 Ω @ 25°C **NTC:** 10 kΩ @ 25°C **Unit of Measurement:** °C or °F programmable **Model Range: PTC:** -50 to 150°C (-67 to 302°F), -50.0 to 99.9°C (-67.0 to 99.9°) **NTC:** -50 to 110°C (-58 to 230°F), -50.0 to 99.9°C (-58.0 to 99.9°F) ## **Outputs** **Output:** 1 and 2 **Function:** Control output **Output Action:** Direct/reverse, programmable **Type:** Relay output **Contact:** SPDT **Contact Load:** Out 1 - 8 A/250 Vac on resistive load - 3 A/250V **Relay Electric Life:** 100,000 operations **DC Pulse: Isolation:** Output NOT isolated as regard the very low voltage parts **Logic State:** **1:** 12V ±20% @ 1 mA, 10V ±20% @ 20 mA **0:** <0.5V **P-1** **==> picture [92 x 59] intentionally omitted <==** **Mounting:** Flush in panel **Dimensions:** 78 x 35 mm (3.07 x 1.38"), depth 64 mm (2.52") **Panel Cut-Out** : 71 (2.8") x 29 (1.14") **Display:** 3-digit single display, red, 12 mm (0.47") **Weight:** 180 g (6.3 oz) approximately **Screw Terminals:** 11 screw terminals (screw M3 for cables 0.25... 2.5 mm[2] or AWG 22...
