Sensor Input
Connections
Make sure that you are using the appropriate thermocouple and extension wire. Connect the negative lead
(generally colored red in ISA-type thermocouples) to contact #9; connect the positive lead to contact #10.
Extension wires must be the same polarity as the thermocouple.
Thermocouple circuit resistance should not exceed 100 ohms for rated accuracy; errors will occur
at higher resistance values. If shielded thermocouple wire is used, terminate the shield only at
panel ground.
Use wire with a resistance no greater than 10 ohms. An error of 0.2° F will result for each
additional 10 ohms of resistance encountered. If shielded RTD wire is used, terminate the shield
only at panel ground.
Note: For 2 Wire RTD
Jumper 8 & 9
The Series 16 accepts input from 2- or 3-wire, 100 ohm platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
Connect 2-wire RTDs to contacts #9 and #10, with a jumper across contacts #8 and #9. Keep leads short
and use heavy gauge copper extension wire, if necessary, to minimize lead resistance. For long runs,
3-wire RTDs should be used.

Power Wiring
Voltage Inputs: Connect the positive voltage input to contact #10; the negative input to contact #8. mV/
Current Inputs: Connect the positive current input to contact #10; the negative input to #9.
The Series 16 power supply accepts 100 to 250 Vac and 100 to 330 Vdc line power without any switch
settings or polarity considerations. All connections should be made in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local regulations, using only NEC Class 1 wiring for all power terminals.
It is advisable, but not necessary, to fuse one leg of the incoming power line, contact #11, with a 2AG, 0.5
amp rated fuse. Be sure that only instrument power input is fused — not power to the load.

Operation
Athena Series 16 Universal Controller
The Series 16 is a full-function, autotuning PID controller, calibrated and pre-configured for your application
requirements, according to the ordering code specified, either as a temperature or linear process controller.
(See page 39 for specifications and ordering code).
Just a few easy steps are required before the instrument can be placed into service. After completing the
mounting and wiring procedures as previously instructed, set your individual process parameter values by
stepping through the Series 16’s setup menus, using the simple front-panel keys as instructed. Then, initiate
the autotuning sequence as shown (or tune manually).
Notes on Outputs
When you ordered your Series 16 controller, a specific output type was specified, designated as either “B”,
“E”, “F”, “S”, “T” or “Y”. You also had the option of configuring your controller with either one or two output
actions. Generally, output 1 is a heat (reverse-acting) function and output 2 is a cool (direct-acting) function.
For best results, follow the recommendations for setting cycle times for the output type supplied with your
controller. A brief description of output types follows:
Mode Key Used to access Standby,
Tune, Run or Manual modes.
Lower Key Used to scroll down through
available parameter settings, decrease values
or change menu levels (Hold for fast-step
progression)
raise Key Used to scroll up through available
parameter settings, increase values or change menu
levels (Hold for fast-step progression)
ParaMeter/access Key Used to index through parameters or to
access Menu Levels
After mounting and wiring your Series
16 controller, you are ready to set the
parameter values required of your
application. Take a moment to
familiarize yourself with the unit’s
front panel controls and indicators.

Operation
Power On
When power is first applied to the Series 16, both displays and all LED indicators are momentarily
illuminated. The Process Value (PV) window then displays [ -At- ] or [ -Ap- ] and the Setpoint Value (SV)
window displays an initialization code, e.g., [ tf06 ]. The last two digits of this code indicate the software
revision supplied with your controller. Please provide this revision number when contacting us regarding
your controller. Depending upon whether Setpoint Target Time [ SP.tt ] is enabled, you may also see this
symbol: or . This means that the controller is ramping up or down to setpoint according to its
previously programmed parameters. The default setpoint on initial power up is equal to the process
temperature (process value). Before proceeding further, wait until the display has stabilized and then use
the Raise or Lower keys to enter or adjust your desired Setpoint Value.
Your Series 16 controller has five distinct menu levels and is designed to allow quick access to relevant
parameters without the need for scrolling through long menus.
Menu “05” is used for initial controller configuration;
Menus “02” and “03” are used for setting or changing parameters;
Menus “00” and “01” are used when the controller is in regular unattended operation and are not used for
setting parameters. For safety and security purposes, we recommend placing the controller in menu level
“00” or “01” when in regular operation; however, it is not required.
If you wish to “escape” from parameter selection within these menus at any time, simply press the Mode
key once. A description of the menu hierarchy and a detailed listing of menus and parameters is shown
later in this section.
Stby
When the controller is placed in Standby Mode, outputs are disabled; however, access is permitted to all
menu levels and, unless the controller is at Run menu levels “00” or “01”, operating parameters may still be
changed. Use this mode for tuning the controller.
To enter Standby Mode, press and hold the Mode key for four seconds until the lower window display
flashes [ StbY ].
To exit Standby Mode from Menu Levels “01” to “05”, press and hold the Mode key for four seconds
until the lower window display flashes [ tUnE ]. ( Note: If the Damping setting in menu “02” is [ OFF ],
then [HEAt ]or [Cool ] will be displayed instead of [tUnE ]). Press and hold the Mode key for four
more seconds until the lower window returns to a steady display of Setpoint Value. (This procedure will not
affect tuning). Removing power to the controller will also take the instrument out of Standby Mode.
P.c.C.d
To access menu levels from Standby Mode or from menu levels “02” to “05”, press the Parameter/Access
key once. From menu levels “00” and “01”, press and hold the Parameter/Access key for
approximately 11 seconds until the lower window display alternates between [ Ac.Cd ] and the menu level
number last activated.
05
To change menu levels, access the menu level display as instructed in the previous paragraph, then use the
Raise or Lower key to set the desired menu level number. To display the current menu level setting
in menu levels “02” to “05”, from Standby or while adjusting/viewing parameters, press the Parameter/
Access key once. For menu levels “00” and “01”, press and hold the Parameter/Access key for
approximately 11 seconds.
Note: You cannot enter Standby Mode from menu level “00”. Follow the instructions for changing menu
levels to select another level and then enter Standby Mode.
6
Operation
This is the menu level used for specifying initial configuration parameters before the controller is placed in
Run mode.
After changing the access code to “05” , press the Parameter/Access key to step through the various
control parameters. Available parameters will flash in the lower window display, alternating with the current
value for that parameter. To increase or decrease the value, simply press the appropriate Raise or
Lower key, then press the key to step to the next parameter. To exit the menu at any time, press
the Mode key. Note: When programming in menu level “05”, all outputs are disabled; however, any
active alarms will remain active until the alarm condition is removed. New alarm conditions will not be
recognized.
This menu is used to set up the controller for digital communications and for recalibrating the controller. If
your Series 16 controller was ordered with the digital communications option, set these parameters next. To
access this menu level, follow the instructions previously given.
In this menu, alarms, cycle times, setpoint target time and limits are established. After changing the access
code to “03”, press the Parameter/Access key to step through the various parameters. To set or change
parameter values, follow the instructions given previously.
Gain, Rate and Reset parameters are automatically set during autotuning. However, they can be manually
adjusted by the operator. To return the controller to the Run mode, change the menu level access code
back to “00” or “01” as previously shown.
The only parameter that can be changed at this menu level is the Setpoint Value, using the appropriate
Raise or Lower key. To set or change other parameters, the operator must access another menu
level by pressing and holding the Parameter/Access key for 11 seconds.
This menu is automatically active when power is first applied. Both display windows are illuminated;
however, access is denied to all parameters. To set or change parameters,
the operator must access another menu level as instructed previously.
