DESCRIPTION  
Housed in a wall-mount, water-tight plastic enclosure, the DPS3301 Series is a powerful temperature  
monitor/indicator. It accepts a single Thermocouple, RTD or Thermistor sensor input and then displays the  
temperature in either degrees C or F. In addition, it also monitors a number of useful functions such as high  
and low process readings, process run time, rate of process change etc.  
Keys are appropriately labeled, so that the user would not have to memorize their functionality. A passcode  
requirement keeps unauthorised personel from changing critical parameters such as limits, timers etc.  
The DPS3301 also functions as a rate monitor, indicating instantaneous as well as average rate of  
temperature change. Programmable time base allows the rate to be displayed in per second, minute, hour or  
any other interval. Also, the unit can be programmed for a rate alarm. This allows control of a process if a  
predetermined rate is exceeded or not achieved. The time function keeps track of process run time.  
Maximum and minimum temperature readings are constantly tracked and can be helpful in quality control or  
monitoring unattended processes (e.g. overnight).  
Various process parameters monitored by the system may be displayed by pushing the appropriate keys on  
the front panel, e.g. (Rate, Peak etc.). The respective parameter will be displayed as long as the key is kept  
pressed. Alternately, if the key is pressed and then released, the unit will display a particular parameter  
briefly and then go back to temperature display mode.  
Four process alarms (optional) are also featured, which are programmable over the entire range of selected  
input type. Also provided are two timers (optional) that work independently or in conjunction with process  
limits e.g. turning on a fan ten minutes after limit 1 temperature is reached.  
Process limit relays may be operated in two different modes:  
1. Non-latching mode, in which the relays reset automatically as soon as the temperature  
falls below the limit (minus the relay dead-band).  
2. Latching mode, in which the relays stay energized even after the temperature falls below  
the programmed limit. In this mode the relays will stay on until manually reset.  
THERMOCOUPLE OR RTD SELECTION  
DPS3301 instruments ordered for Thermocouples or RTD’s can be programmed through the front panel keys  
to work with one of these specific inputs (Input type or options depend on Model number ordered).  
When DPS3301 is first turned on, a ‘display segment test’ is done by briefly displaying 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.,  
followed by the software revision number (rEn X.XX) and input signal type.

How to Reset and Program Thermocouple Type (or RTD)  
A DPS3301-TC that is calibrated for a J, K, T, or E type thermocouple or an RTD model may be  
programmed for a specific thermocouple, or RTD (385/392) type, by going into SETUP mode (Look under  
‘SETUP’). Alternately, a thermocouple/RTD may be selected by turning On power to the unit while holding  
in the appropriate key (see Figure 1). This procedure also clears the memory and programs factory defalult  
values for limits, rate timebase etc. Therefore, after performing Power-up reset, various parameters such as  
limits, rate time base etc., must be re-programmed to a desired value. However, if done in SETUP mode, no  
programmed parameters such as limits, Timers etc. are erased from the memory. It is recommended that  
thermocouple (RTD) selection be done in SETUP. Power-up reset should be performed if it is suspected that  
program memory may have been corrupted due to power surge, noise on electrical lines etc.

SEE SETUP ON HOW TO SELECT ONE OF THE DISPLAY MODES.  
RETAINING USER SETTINGS ON POWER DOWN  
DPS3301 saves all the programmed parameters in an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read  
only memory). An EEPROM stores the programmed parameters even when the power is removed from the  
unit. However, it is important to note that if the parameters are being changed during setup, they must be  
saved in the EEPROM by pressing and holding the ‘RESET’ key (till SAVING is displayed) as described  
under SETUP. If parameters are NOT saved and the power is removed from the unit, any newly changed  
values will be lost ( the unit will, however, maintain the old values).  
DISPLAY UNITS C/F:  
DPS3301 units can display temperature in either degrees  
Centigrade of Fahrenheit. To switch the display from Fahrenheit  
to Centigrade or vice versa, simply push the C/F key once. The  
display will read ‘dEGrE F’ if the unit enters degrees Fahrenheit  
mode. It will display ‘dEGrE C’ if Centigrade mode is enabled.  
Following the message, the unit will start displaying temperature  
in selected engineering units.  
SETPOINT DEVIATION:  
A useful feature of DPS3301 units is tracking of a setpoint  
relative to process value at any given point in time. To display  
deviation, push the key labeled ‘SP DEV’ once. The display will  
read ‘SP DEVN’ following which the deviation reading will be  
shown. A second push on the same key while it is displaying  
deviation will indicate the current setpoint value.  
Setpoint value that needs to be tracked can be entered in two  
different ways. One is during setup mode and the other is using  
the front key labled ‘SP DEV’. SETUP mode entry is used when  
a particular value needs to be programmed e.g. 500, 850 and so  
on. To enter Setpoint in this mode, look under ‘SETUP’.  
If it is desired to start tracking setpoint deviation from current process reading then front key entry mode is  
used. Assume that current reading on the display is 476 F. To enter this temperature as your setpoint, first  
push ‘SP DEV’ key twice (first push displays deviation from current setpoint, and the second push displays  
current SETPT value). After the second push keep holding in the ‘SP DEV’ key. After a brief delay the  
display will flash the message ‘SETPT’ three times. Following the third flash, the unit will take the current  
process reading and save it as the new SETPOINT. If the process reading is 500, then taking our above  
example, pushing ‘SP DEVN’ key will display 24 as your deviation value. Note that if ‘SP DEVN’ key is  
released before three flashes of ‘SETPT’ message, the unit will not enter a new setpoint. However, old  
setpoint value will be retained in the memory.  
DISPLAY HOLD FEATURE:  
DPS3301 offers a display hold feature. When ever pins 13 and 14 are shorted together (e.g. through a remote  
switch), the reading taken at the time of shorting is frozen on the display. The unit will continue displaying  
this value until the short is removed. This is indicated by the display periodically flashing the message ‘Pr  
HoLD’. Internally the unit keeps monitoring the actual process and limits and timers will be activated if  
process exceeds their programmed values. However, the display will indicate the hold temperature.

SETUP MODE  
Setup is used for configuring various parameters of DPS3301 unit.  
These parameters include entering limits, timers, dead-bands etc.  
Entering and Exiting Setup Mode:  
To get into setup mode, press and hold SETUP key. The display will  
show ELPSd t and then the value of elapsed time. Keep holding-in  
SETUP’ key till the display shows ‘SETUP’ and starts scrolling the  
message 'EntEr PASSCOdE'.  
To return from SETUP to normal display/run mode, simply push and  
hold down the ‘RESET’ key. On exiting, the display will briefly show  
'SAVING' to indicate that the new data is being saved in nonvolatile  
memory (key should be held in until the word ‘SAVING’ shows up on  
the display). Setup mode is also exited automatically if no key action is  
detected for about 5 minutes. On automatic exit, all the changes made  
up to that point are saved in the permanent memory.  
How To Increase/Decrease Programmable Values in  
Setup  
Once a parameter is displayed (e.g. 01234), the ‘^DIG v’ key can then be used for increasing or decreasing  
the value of the flashing digit. For incrementing, push and hold in ‘^DIG v’ key. To decrement, release  
^DIG v’ key and immediately push it (and hold in) again. To move on  
to the next digit, push ‘<DIG>’ key till the desired digit starts flashing.  
Again, use ‘^DIG v’ key to change its value.  
Passcode Entry:  
Passcode entry is a four digit number which keeps unauthorized  
personnel from changing the unit’s parameters. Front panel keys are  
each marked with a small digit in the lower right corner. For the five  
keys there are five digits --- 1,2,3,4,5. Pass-code is a combination of  
these digits and for DPS3301 units the pass-code to program new  
parameters is 3254. Three attempts at entering the correct pass-code are  
allowed. Anytime a wrong digit is entered, the display will read HELP.  
If correct pass-code is not entered within three attempts, the system will  
exit SETUP and return to normal display mode. To make another attempt,  
you have to get into setup again by holding in ‘SETUP’ key.  
As soon as correct four digit pass-code is entered, the unit is ready for  
setup. At this point the unit will display ‘PrG Ctr’ (for 'Program  
Controller'). Available options at this point are:  
1. PrG Ctr (for 'Program Controller’) 2. PrOG Lt (for 'Program  
Limits')  
‘PROGRAM CONTROLLER’ MODE  
The unit starts with 'Program Controller’ as the active mode (displaying  
PrG Ctr). To select alternate mode, push ‘^DIG v’ key. Once the  
desired mode is displayed, push ‘SETUP’ key to select it.  
Page 9  
 
'PROGRAM CONTROLLER' MODE  
Display Time  
On entering Program Controller mode, the very first step lets you  
program is the display time. This determines the length of time (in  
seconds) that any VALUE is displayed before message, such as  
‘PROCESS’ is flashed.  
The unit will first show 'dSPLy t' (for Display Time), and then the  
current setting in seconds. Use ‘^DIGv’ and ‘<DIG>’ key to set the  
desired display time. Push ‘SETUP’ key following the selection.  
Display Option:  
This is indicated by the display briefly reading 'dSP OPt' (for  
display option) and then the currently selected Option. Use ‘^DIGv’  
key to step thru various options. Once the desired option has been  
selected, push ‘SETUP’ key to enter it and go on to set Display Time.

Rate Time-Base:  
This step is for programming time-base for calculation of Rate. Units  
of time-base are seconds. Again, the active digit will be flashing.  
Message displayed before the value is “rATE tb:. To change the  
value, push ^v key. To activate another digit for change, use <DIG>  
key. On finishing, push SETUP key.  
Page 10  
 
Cold Junction adjustment:  
After setting Heat/Cool mode, the next parameter is the cold  
junction reference temperature adjustment. The display will first  
show 'COLd JN' , and then the cold junction temperature will be  
indicated. Use ‘^DIGv’ key to adjust until the display reads the  
proper temperature. Once the correct temperature is displayed, push  
‘SETUP’ key to enter that setting and go to temperature Calibration  
mode.  
NOTE 1: The unit comes pre-calibrated from the factory.  
However, the above procedure can be used if any adjustment is  
required to the Cold-junction reading.  
NOTE 2: Cold-junction temperture is the temperature of the connector that connects the thermocouple to  
the unit. This temperature is usually higher than ambient temperature, particularly after the unit has been  
powered for some time. This is due to the heat generated by internal electronics of the unit. For precise  
calibration, measure the temperature at thermocouple connector and then adjust Cold-junction reading.  
NOTE 3: No cold-junction calibration is required for RTD or thermistor units. Therefore, this step is  
omitted in RTD or Thermistor units.  
Thermocouple Calibration:  
For base-metal thermocouples (type J, K, T and E), calibrating one  
type of thermocouple calibrates all. While calibration can also be  
performed outside of setup procedure (in main Process display mode),  
doing this in ‘SETUP’ eliminates flashing ‘PROCESS’ message from  
interupting the procedure. Also, raw A/D input can be viewed in this  
mode by pushing ‘SETPT’ key. This allows for adjusting any offset  
errors and thus allows for more precise calibration.  
Thermocouple Calibration Procedure  
Note: Make sure the unit is reading correct cold-junction temperature before calibrating.  
If incorrect, adjust as described in the " Cold Junction adjustment" section.  
For thermocouple calibration (type J T/C), following steps should be performed. Note that only one  
type of thermocouple need to be calibrated (i.e. J,K,T or E). For example, if the calibration is done for a type  
K thermocouple, types J, T, and E are automatically calibrated.  
1. Connect a thermocouple calibration source to the signal input connector.  
2. Dial in 725 degrees centigrade (Note: unit must be programmed for displaying in  
centigrade).  
3. Adjust gain pot on the back of the instrument (ref. Fig. 7, Pg. 21) until the display reads  
'725'.  
4. Short the input connector with a wire or shorting bar (make sure the source is removed so  
as not to damage it --- shorting the input connector will short the output of the source).  
5. Push ‘SETPT’ key. The display will read 'U 00002' --- or some other value.  
6. Adjust offset pot on back of instrument (ref. Fig. 7, Pg. 21) until the display reads '0000'.  
7. Push SETUP key once -- the display should read close to Cold Junction temperature.  
8. Remove the shorting bar from the input and connect the thermocouple calibrator again.  
9. Repeat steps 2 through 7 till the unit reads proper temperature.  
Page 11  
 
NOTE 1: The unit must be powered up for at least ten minutes before any adjustments are made.  
NOTE 2: For calibrating units with RTD or Thermistor inputs, connect the source to input connector, dial in  
a temperature near high end of the scale and adjust gain potentiometer on the back of the unit (See figure 7  
for reference).  
Thermocouple type Selection:  
Next function is the last one in system setup. Here you select the type of thermocouple for which the unit has  
been calibrated. First the display shows the message ‘IP tYPE’ (for ‘Input Type’) followed by current  
thermocouple selection. For various thermocouples the unit reads:

For units with RTD input, the selection is between RTD 392 or RTD 385. Thermistor units display  
‘tHrStOR’ (for ‘Thermistor’) and units with R, S and B type thermocouples display ‘r tC’, ‘S tC’ and  
‘b tC’ respectively with no selection option (since these units offer only one type of input)  
To make an alternate selection, push ‘^DIGv’ key. After making the selection, push ‘SETUP’ key. This  
last push will take you to the very beginning of setup mode with the display reading 'PrG Ctr’. At this  
point either push RESET key to get out of setup or select any other option as described before.  
‘PROGRAM LIMITS’ MODE:  
Process Limits (1 thru 4):  
If selection made from programming group is for ‘PROG LT’  
then the very first parameter programmed is process limit 1.  
This is indicated by the message ‘PrG. LT1’ followed by pre-  
programmed value of the limit. Again, use ‘<DIG>’ key to  
move flashing to the next digit and ‘^DIGv’ key to  
increment/decrement value of the flashing digit.  
The procedure for programming limits 2,3 and 4 are very  
similar to limit 1 (provided Limits 3 and 4 are setup as process  
limits). However, limits 3 and 4 can be configured to work as  
rate and deviation limits. If such is the case, then, after  
programming limit 2, the next step takes us into selection of  
limit 3 as rate or process limit.  
Selection of Limit 3 as Process or Rate Limit:  
This step comes after programming Limit 2 and is indicated by  
the message ‘LT3 RTE’ (if Limit 3 is setup as Rate limit) or  
‘LT3 Pr’ (if Limit 3 is setup as Process limit). Alternate  
selection can be made by pushing ‘^DIGv’ key. Push ‘SETUP’  
key after making the selection.  
Page 12  
 
Programming Limit 3:  
As Process Limit:  
If Limit 3, in the above step, was configured as a Process limit, then the message displayed on entering this  
mode will be ‘PrG Lt3’. This will be followed by displaying the current value of Limit 3 . Use ‘<DIG>’  
key to move flashing to the next digit and ‘^DIGv’ key to  
increment/decrement the value of flashing digit.  
As Rate Limit:  
If Limit 3, in the above step, was configured as a Rate limit, then  
the message displayed on entering this mode will be ‘RATE Lt’.  
This will be followed by displaying the current value of Limit 3 .  
Use ‘<DIG>’ key to move flashing to the next digit and ‘^DIGv’  
key to increment/decrement the value of the flashing digit.  
Selection of Limit 4 as Process or Deviation  
Limit:  
This step comes after programming Limit 3 and is indicated by the message ‘LT4 Pr’ (if Limit 4 is setup as  
Process limit) or ‘LT4 dEN’ (if Limit 4 is setup as deviation limit). Alternate selection can be made by  
pushing ‘^DIGv’ key. Push SETUP key after making the selection.  
Programming Limit 4:  
As Process Limit:  
If Limit 4, in the above step, was configured as a Process limit,  
then the message displayed on entering this mode will be ‘PrG  
Lt4’. This will be followed by displaying the current value of Limit  
4 . Use ‘<DIG>’ key to move flashing to the next digit and  
‘^DIGv’ key to increment/decrement the value of the flashing  
digit.  
As Deviation Limit:  
If Limit 4, in the above step, was configured as a Deviation limit, then the message displayed on entering this  
mode will be ‘dEVN Lt’. This will be followed by displaying the Limit 4 value . Use ‘<DIG>’ key to  
move flashing to the next digit and ‘^DIGv’ key to increment/decrement the flashing digit.  
Configure Timing Mode  
DPS3301 is equipped with 2 versatile timers that may be  
programmed to operate in 3 different modes, referred to as Timer  
Mode 0, 1, or 2.  
Mode 0 is an elapsed time mode in which the timer starts running  
as soon as the instrument is turned on or the timer is reset. After  
the programmed amount of time has elapsed, the timer output is  
Page 13  
 
energized.  
In Mode 1 the timer is ON for a programmed amount of time after a temperature limit is reached (limit1  
for Timer 1 and Limit 2 for Timer 2). When programmed amount of time has elapsed, the timer is de-  
energized.  
Mode 2 is used to produce a programmable time delay after the temperature limit is reached. After the  
delay, the timer output comes ON and stays ON until reset by the operator. For more details, refer to the  
TIMER MODES section.  
This mode is indicated by tr 0, tr 1 or tr 2 for timer mode 0, 1, or 2.  
Use DIG key to select desired timer mode.  
Timers 1 and 2:  
This mode lets you enter values for timer 1 and 2. The display will  
read ‘TR1 LT’ (for timer 1 limit) and ‘TR2 LT’ (for timer 2 limit)  
followed by current programmed value of each of the timers. To  
change the value use ‘<DIG>’ key in conjunction with the ‘^DIGv’  
key. Once done, push ‘SETUP’ key to go to the following parameter.  
Relay Deadband:  
The parameter programmed after timers is limit deadband. The display  
will first read "DEAD BD" and then show the value of previously  
programmed dead-band. To change the value of flashing digit, press ^v  
key. To move flashing digit, push <DIG> key. After programming the  
desired value of "dead-band" push ‘SETUP’ key to get to the next  
function.  
Configuring Limits Normally Open/Normally Closed:  
Following relay deadband, the alarm outputs are configured as normally closed or normally open. This will  
be indicated as ‘LT1 N.O.’ ( if limit 1 is programmed as normally open) or ‘LT1 N.C.’ (if limit 1 is  
programmed as normally closed). To make an alternate selection, push the ‘^DIGv’ key. After selecting or  
to retain current setting, push ‘SETUP’ key. The following three steps are similar to the last step and in it  
limits 2,3 and 4 are setup as normally open or normally closed.  
Relay Latching/non Latching:  
The next function is configuration of relays as latching or non-  
latching. In non-latching mode, the relays will reset automatically  
when the process variable drops below the programmed limit. In the  
latching mode once the relays are energized they have to be reset  
manually even though the process variable might have fallen below  
the limit ( latching/non-latching mode is only for process, rate and  
deviation limits). If the system is in latching mode the display will  
read ‘LATCH’. Alternately, the display will read ‘NON LCH’ (for  
"non latching"). To get the alternate mode push ‘^DIGv’ key. To  
retain present mode push ‘SETUP’ key.  
Page 14  
 
Audio Alarm On/Off:  
This unit supports an audio alarm option which comes on when ever  
a limit value is exceeded. This alarm can be turned On or Off, as  
desired. The selection is made by pushing ‘^DIGv’ key. If the alarm  
is ON, the display will read ‘ALR ON’ (Alarm On). Alternately, it  
will display ‘ALR OFF’ (for ‘Alarm Off’). Push ‘SETUP’ key after  
desired setting is displayed. This last push on SETUP key will also  
take you back to the very beginning of setup mode.  
To get out of SETUP mode at this point (or at any time during setup),  
simply push and hold RESET key. The display will read ‘SAVInG’  
and then exit setup.  
RATE  
DPS3301 monitors rate of change of temperature per programmed time base and can be displayed by  
pushing the ‘DATA’ key (time base is programmed during SETUP procedure). The unit is capable of  
displaying instantaneous (calculated over the last time base period) as well as average rate of temperature  
change. Push DATA key sequentially till the display reads ‘In rAtE’. On releasing the DATA key at this  
point will display instantaneous rate. One more push on DATA key will bring up the unit in Average rate  
display mode. The unit will display Average rate value preceeded by the message ‘AG RATE’. Averaging  
of the rate can be reset by resetting ‘Elapsed Time’ (push ‘TIME’ and ‘RESET’ keys simultaneously to  
reset TIME).  
Rate Alarm:  
Limit 3 has the capability to work either as process alarm or as rate alarm. This configuration is done during  
setup (look under SETUP). Also entered during setup is the alarm value. Programmed rate alarm value is  
absolute and it works on negative as well as positive rates e.g. if rate alarm value is 10, then alarm output  
will get activated if rate exceeds –10 or +10. It should be noted that rate alarm is based on instantaneous  
rate calculated over last time period (look under SETUP to program time period).  
Resetting Rate Alarm:  
Once energized, rate alarm can be reset in two different ways --- automatically or manually (non latching or  
latching). In non latching mode the alarm output will de-energize automatically when rate drops below rate  
limit value. In latching mode, the output has to be reset manually. For manual reset, first make the display  
indicate ‘rAtE Lt’ (for ‘Rate Limit’) by pushing the ‘DATA’ key successively (also look under ‘Process  
Alarms’). Next, while keeping the ‘DATA’ key pushed, go on to push the ‘RESET’ key. Rate alarm will  
de-energize and the display will indicate so by displaying RLY RST. Selection of latching or non-latching  
mode for outputs is done during setup.  
SETPOINT DEVIATION ALARM:  
Setpoint deviation is the differential between actual process reading  
and current setpoint. This feature is useful for monitoring how well  
the process is keeping up with the ramping setpoint. To display  
deviation, push ‘SP DEV’ key once. The display will read ‘SP  
DEVN’ following which the current deviation of process from the  
Page 15  
 
setpoing will be indicated.  
Deviation Alarm:  
Limit 4 has the capability to work either as process or as deviation alarm. This configuration is done during  
setup (look under SETUP). Also entered during setup is the alarm value. Programmed value is absolute and it  
works on negative as well as positive deviation e.g. if deviation alarm is set to 10, then output will get  
activated if process deviates –10 or +10 from the Setpoint.  
Resetting Deviation Alarm:  
Deviation alarm can be programmed to reset automatically or  
manually (non latching or latching). In non latching mode the  
alarm output will de-energize automatically when deviation drops  
below deviation limit value. In latching mode, the output has to be  
reset manually. For manual reset, first make the display indicate  
‘dEVn Lt’ (for ‘Deviation Limit’) by pushing ‘DATA’ key  
successively (also look under ‘Process Alarms’). Next, while  
keeping the ‘DATA’ key pushed, go on to push the ‘RESET’  
key. Deviation alarm will de-energize and the display will indicate  
so by displaying RLY RST. Selection of latching or non-latching  
mode for outputs is done during setup.  
PROCESS ALARMS  
Displaying:  
The DATA key is used for displaying Process Variable limits.  
Pushing the ‘DATA’ key sequentially brings up the display of limit  
1 through limit 4 value. Display format is ‘PR LT1’ followed by  
the value of limit 1. Each consecutive push there after will display  
‘PR LT2’ and programmed limit 2 value, ‘PR LT3’ and its value,  
‘PR LT4’ and its value. If limits 3 and 4 are configured as rate and  
deviation limits respectively, then the third push will display  
‘rATE Lt’ followed by rate value and the fourth push will display  
‘dEVn Lt’ followed by deviation limit value. The programming of process limits is done during setup  
procedure (look under SETUP).  
Resetting:  
Once energized, alarms can be reset in two different ways --- automatically or manually (non latching or  
latching). In non latching mode the alarm outputs will de-energize on their own when the process variable  
drops below the limit value. In the latching mode they stay energized even if the process variable drops  
below the limit. To reset the energized outputs in latching mode, first make the display indicate the limit that  
needs to be reset e.g. ‘PR LT2’, by pushing the ‘DATA’ key (as described above under ‘Displaying’). Next,  
while keeping the ‘DATA’ key pushed, go on to push the ‘RESET’ key. The respective alarm output will  
de-energize and the system will indicate so by displaying RLY RST. Selection of latching or non-latching  
mode for outputs is done during setup.  
Electro-Mechanical Relay Option  
DPS3301 units can be ordered with either open collector outputs or electro-mechanical relays for process  
Page 16  
 
limit alarms. (Check model number printed on the unit for option). If ordered with relays, then these relays  
are programmed during Setup to operate as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). The default  
setting is Normally Open. Each of these limit relays provides a switched output whenever a limit is reached.  
The maximum rating for a 120Vac unit is 120Vac @ 0.5 amp or 28 Vdc @ 1.0 amp.

Open Collector Option  
Whenever a limit is reached (on units with open collector output option) an open collector output provides a  
return for 5 Vdc signal at 50ma on the output connector, e.g. Limit 1 provides its 5 volt output signal  
between pins 1 and 2. A solid state control relay with a 5Vdc coil that draws 50 ma. or less is recommended  
for use as shown in figure 4 below. The monitor supplies +5Vdc on pin #2 and the open collector switch to  
ground on pin #1. The control relay should be driven by controller’s internal power supply off of pin #2 to  
avoid introducing ground loops or electrical noise into the unit.

TIMERS  
The system features two timers that can be programmed from 1 -  
99999 seconds. These timers come in handy when some time-  
based functions have to be performed. For example, it is possible  
to start a vacuum pump after a certain amount of preprogrammed  
time or to shut down a process a certain amount of time after  
reaching a preprogrammed temperature ,etc. Timers can be  
programmed to operate in one of three possible modes (see below).  
Page 17  
 
To display Timer #1 value, push the TIME key twice. The first push shows elapsed time, while the second  
push will first display 'tr1 Cnt' (for Timer1 Count) and then Timer 1 value.  
To display Timer #2 value, push TIMER key three times. First two pushes display elapsed time and timer 1  
value respectively, while the third push brings up timer 2 value on the display. This is , however, preceded by  
the message 'tr2 Cnt' (for Timer 2 Count).  
Resetting Timers:  
The two Timers can be reset any time and their timing cycle started all over again. To reset Timer 1, push  
‘TIMER’ key twice and hold it in. This will bring time left on Timer 1 on the display. While this is being  
displayed, simultaneously push the ‘RESET’ key. Timer 1 will reset and its timing cycle will start again  
(depending on Timer Mode and Process reading i.e. if it is above Limit 1or below).  
Similarly, to reset Timer 2, push ‘TIMER’ key three times and hold it in. This will display remaining time  
onTimer2. While this is being displayed, simultaneously push the ‘RESET’ key. Timer 2 will reset and its  
timing cycle will start again (depending on Timer Mode and Process reading i.e. if it is above Limit 2 or  
below).  
TIMER MODES  
Timer Mode #0  
The timer starts timing from the moment the system is either turned on or the timer is reset. After the  
programmed amount of time has elapsed, the respective timer outputs will energize.  
Timer Mode #1  
When temperature Limit #1 or Limit #2 has been reached, the corresponding timer output (Timer #1 output  
for temperature Limit #1 and Timer #2 for temperature Limit #2) will energize and will stay energized for  
programmed length of time. After this time has elapsed, the output will de-energize.  
Timer Mode #2  
The timing for respective timers starts after the temperature Limit #1 or Limit #2 has been reached. For  
example, if temperature Limit #1 and Limit #2 are 500 and 1000 degrees respectively and Timer 1 and Timer  
2 are programmed for 30 minutes each, then Timer 1 output will come on 30 minutes after the system reads  
500 degrees temperature. Similarly Timer 2 output will come on 30 minutes after 1000 degrees temperature  
has been reached.  
ELAPSED TIME  
The system keeps track of process run time since the unit is turned on or the time is last reset. To display  
elapsed time, press the ‘TIME’ key. The display will briefly read 'ELPSd t' (for elapsed time), and then  
indicate process run time. Display format is HH.MM.SS (HH=hours, MM = minutes, SS = Seconds).  
Maximum time that can be displayed is 999 hours 59 minutes and 59seconds.  
How to reset Elapsed Time  
To reset elapsed time and start timing again, press ‘TIMER’ key once and while keeping it pressed, push  
‘RESET’ key. The display will show current elapsed time very briefly, and then reset to 0.  
Page 18  
 
HIGH AND LOW PEAKS  
A useful feature provided by the DPS3301 system is its ability  
to track high and low temperature peaks. This function is  
useful if a process must be left unattended for a long period of  
time, and it is necessary to find temperature extremes during  
the unattended period.  
High and low process peaks are displayed by pushing  
‘HI/LO’ key. Pushing this key once will display the message  
'HIGH Pt' (for High Point) and then the value of the highest  
temperature monitored by the unit. Similarly, to display the  
lowest reading monitored, press ‘HI/LO’ key a second time.  
The display will read 'LO Pt' (for ‘LOW POINT’) followed  
by the value of the lowest monitored reading.  
How to Reset High & Low Peak readings  
To reset high peak to current temperature, display the value of high peak as described above. While keeping  
the ‘HI/LO’ key pushed (as the high peak value is displayed), simultaneously push the RESET key. On  
resetting, the display will indicate the new high peak value.  
To reset low peak to current temperature, push ‘HI/LO’ key twice (first push displays high peak value).  
While low peak value is being displayed, simultaneously push the RESET key. On resetting, the display will  
indicate the new low peak value.  
OUTPUT STATUS:  
The system has optional process and timer alarm outputs that are activated when the limit is achieved.  
Alarms can be programmed as normally open or normally closed (see SETUP). The status of these is  
indicated by LEDs on the front panel. When ever an alarm is activated the respective LED is turned on.  
POWER  
Power connection should be made to the 3 terminal Connector as shown in figure 7. It should be noted that it  
is very important that while making the connection, the power LINE inputs and the power GROUND are not  
switched. Doing so will permanently damage the instrument. Refer to Figure 7 for proper connections. For  
convenience, the printed circuit board is labeled L1 L2 GND on the solder as well as component side of  
the board.  
On DC units, L1 = DC Ground and L2 = + DC Supply.  
NOTE: Do not switch power LINE and power GROUND while making connection to the  
AC power terminal. This will result in permanent damage to the instrument.  
DOUBLE CHECK THE CONNECTIONS BEFORE APPLYING POWER!!  
SIGNAL CONNECTION  
Thermocouple (RTD, Thermistor) connection should be made to the 2 input terminal connectors labeled  
Page 19  
 
‘SIGNAL CONNECTOR’ in figure 4. Also indicated are the input signal’s positive and negative polarities  
for thermocouple connection. These markings are also on the printed circuit board in front of the connector.  
Care should be taken to connect the positive and negative legs of the signal source to the proper terminals on  
the connector. A wrong connection will result in incorrect process readings. (No polarity is necessary for  
RTD or thermistor).  
OUTPUT CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENT  
Table 1 shows the output connector pin numbers and signal description. For convenience, the printed circuit  
board is labeled R1 through R7. Additionally, positive and negative outputs for open collector outputs are

DIRECT INTERFACE TO UNIVERSAL RELAY MODULE  
For high amperage loads, DPS3300 series units can be used in conjunction with Universal Relay Module  
(Model RELAY-URM400/800) which provide up to eight 15 ampere relays. Both open collector and relay  
models can be interfaced directly to RELAY-URM400/800 units.  
RELAY-URM400/800 series relay module is a very versatile instrument that is used for switching up to eight  
15 ampere loads. In addition to the DPS3300 direct interface, RELAY-URM400/800 series relay module  
accepts low level input signals from PLCs, process controllers, indicators, motor starters, etc. Selectable input  
allows activation of output relays on direct acting or reverse acting signal. In addition to working with  
control/logic level signals, another very useful feature of RELAY-URM400/800 is activation of output relays  
on contact closure. The use of the RELAY-URM400/800 allows heavy loads requiring up to 15 amps to be  
controlled by the DPS3300 with minimal equipment & wiring.  
Input and output connections for the RELAY-URM400/800 are made through euro style pluggable connectors  
which are conveniently located on the top and bottom of the unit. Screw in terminals allow for quick  
connect/disconnect of wires. The unit is housed in a versatile enclosure that can be configured for mounting on  
a DIN rail or on a wall. If desired, the same enclosure can be panel mounted with relay, AC and DC supply  
status visible on the front. LEDs on the front panel turn on when a relay is energized. Two different versions are  
offered in this series. First one is RELAY-URM400 that has four relay outputs. The second one is RELAY-  
URM800 that has eight relay outputs. (Future versions will also include 4-15A solid state relays). Both units  
come with a built-in universal power supply. It operates from 100vac to 240vac. This power supply provides  
power not only to the internal electronics and relays but has up to 20watts (5vdc) available for external  
applications by the user.
