Frequently asked questions

How do I enter parameter modification mode on the PC900 controller?

Press the PAR/SET key for 3 seconds; the controller enters parameter modification mode where you can use the ▲/▼ keys to change values.

What communication interfaces are supported by the PC900?

The controller can be equipped with RS232 or RS485 digital communication modules, both using optical isolation and supporting baud rates up to 19.2 kbps.

How can I connect a printer for data logging?

Connect the PC900 RS232 port (terminal 9) to the printer’s receive pin (pin 3) and ground terminal 8 to the printer’s ground (pin 5), then set matching baud rates and enable the print function in the parameters.

What is the rating of the controller’s relay output?

The relay output provides a normally‑open contact rated at 3 A and 250 V AC.
