- Safety Information We use note, caution and warning symbols throughout this book to draw your attention to important operational and safety information. A “NOTE” marks a short message to alert you to an important detail. ç CAUTION or WARNING Ó Electrical Shock Hazard CAUTION or WARNING A “CAUTION” safety alert appears with information that is important for protecting your equipment and performance. Be especially careful to read and follow all cautions that apply to your application. 
- 1 Overview Watlow's Series L family of temperature limit controllers* provide an economical limit controller solution for applications where thermal system protection is needed. A limit controller is added to applications to prevent over or under temperature conditions. The limit provides safety assurances against instances where a thermal runaway condition occurs as a result of a failed sensor, controller or output device.

While pressing the bezel firmly against the panel, slide the mounting bracket over the back of the controller. Be sure the levers on the mounting bracket line up with the teeth on the case. 4. Press the bracket up to the back of the panel. The controller should fit tightly in the panel cutout. Removing the Panel Mount Square 1/8 DIN Controller 1. 
- 3 Wiring Ó Warning: Use National Electric (NEC) or other country-specific standard wiring and safety practices when wiring and connecting this controller to a power source and to electrical sensors or peripheral devices. Failure to do so may result in damage to equipment and property, and/or injury or loss of life. Note: Insulated terminals required for quick connect style terminals. For quick connect terminals 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, AMP P/N 3-520406-2 or equivalent recommended.

- Troubleshooting Indication Probable Cause(s) Corrective Action On indicating limits, the display is not illuminated. • Power supply switch off. • Fuse blown. • Breaker tripped. • Safety interlock door switch activated. • Wiring incorrect or open. • Power supply voltage incorrect. • Defective limit. • Turn switch on. • Replace fuse (check cause of failure). • Reset breaker (check cause of failure). • Close door. • Check wiring. • Verify input power • Repair or replace limit. 
- Indication Probable Cause(s) Corrective Action Troubleshooting RTD inputs Temperature reading is incorrect, showing a sensor error, [Er;In] , or ALARM LED is switching at the wrong temperature. • Setting for degree C or F is incorrect. Check model part number for Degree C or F. If the model has Increment/Decrement keys, then the C/F setting is adjustable. • Sensor or limit may be bad. Sensor connections may be bad. • Place a 110 ohm resistor across the sensor input terminals. 
- Specifications Controller • Microprocessor based, limit controller. • Nominal switching hysteresis, typically 1.7°C (3°F) • High or low limit, factory selectable. • Latching output requires manual reset upon over or under temperature condition. • Manual or automatic reset on power loss, factory selectable. • Internal front panel or external customer supplied momentary reset switch. • Input filter time: 1 second. Operator Interface (model dependent) • Four digit , 7 segment LED displays, .28" high.
