This document is the Models 2404/2408 PID Controllers Installation and Operation handbook ENG. It provides an overview of the content of the installation and operation handbook, including the different chapters.
The Eurotherm 2408 and 2404 PID controllers are high‑stability temperature and process controllers with modular hardware that accepts up to three plug‑in I/O modules and two interface modules. The handbook provides detailed guidance for installing the controllers in DIN panels, connecting power and signal wiring, and achieving IP65 sealing.
The manual is organized into chapters on Installation, Operation, Access Levels, Tuning, Programmer Operation, Configuration, and User Calibration, followed by appendices covering ordering codes, safety and EMC information, technical specifications, load‑current monitoring, PROFIBUS communications and RoHS compliance.
