The Model T16 Controller accepts signals from a variety of temperature sensors (thermocouple or RTD), while the Model P16 Controller accepts either a 0 to 10 VDC or 0/4 to 20 mA DC input signal. Both controllers can provide an accurate output control signal (time proportional or DC Analog Output) to maintain a process at a setpoint value. Dual 4-digit displays allow viewing of the process/temperature and setpoint simultaneously. Front panel indicators inform the operator of the controller and output status. The comprehensive programming allows these controllers to meet a wide variety of application requirements.
This bulletin describes the Red Lion T16 and P16 temperature/process controllers, covering their general specifications, sensor inputs, output options, and safety information. It explains the PID control mode, auto‑tuning, alarm functions, and optional DC analog output.
The document also includes detailed installation guidance, wiring instructions, EMC recommendations, and information on accessories such as the TP16KIT programming module. Ordering numbers, mechanical dimensions, and environmental limits are provided for proper system integration.
