SECMATIC – 970
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON
WIRING
Wiring is to be classified in three different levels.
Level 1: Low level analogical and digital signals.
- Analogical inputs: ambient probes,

- Analogical outputs: 0-10 volt.
- Digital inputs: thermal relay safeties, pressure switches,
- Computer network communications.
Level 2: Alternating current supply and operation.
- Digital outputs: command of contactors, solenoids, servomotors, relays ...

- Controller supply.
Level 3: Large power motor and equipment supply.
Cables of the same level can be assembled in trunkings or conduits, except for
controller supply that is to be laid separately in another conduit.
Controller supply will be as much straight as possible from general supply, from a
star distribution by means of either a separate hose per machine (parallel supply of
several machines is to be avoided) or from three terminals specially prepared for that
purpose in electric panel of each dryer.
Minimum gap between trunkings will be 20 cm. If this is not possible, cables
should be laid in a common trunking with three compartments which have to be
separated by means of a grounded metal barrier.
Conduits enclosing level 1 cables must not be laid parallel to conduits with level 3
cables at a distance smaller than 1.5 m.
If cables of different levels have to intersect, keep them at 90-degrees angles.
When these recommendations are difficult to be met, parallel runs must not be
longer than 1.5 m.
All level 1 cables (low level) should be shielded.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4 out of 71
WIRING IN CONTROLLER
Level 1 cables (low level) and level 2 cables reach the controller. These cables have
to arrive separately in three trunkings or compartments.
All cables of probes, safeties, analogical outputs and communications (level 1) will
reach the controller in the same conduit. Controller supply hose (level 2) will be laid in
another conduit and digital outputs hose (level 2) in a different one.
Supply hose (three wires: L1, L2/N, Ground) will get into the cabinet through the
first packing gland on the left. Within cabinet and fixed to available fastenings on side
wall, it will be taken up to supply connector. Ground wire of this hose will be the only
grounding entering controller and its only point of attachment will be the supply
connector. The cabinet can be grounded through anchor fastening screws. Controller
box is fitted with a screw with ground symbol (right side wall) that will not be used to
ground but to connect all shields of level 1 cables.
Controller supply must have a ferrite, B64290-K82-X830 (Siemens), 7 to 8 turns or

spirals (on the 3 wires); this ferrite can be located in its trunking or in the corner near
the packing gland through which the hose gets inside, taking into account that the nearer
the control the more efficient the performance.
Digital outputs hose will enter the cabinet through the second packing gland on the
left.
All level 1 cables will arrive in different shielded hoses depending on their
provenance: ambient probes, distribution box probes, safeties, analogical outputs and
communications. All these hoses will distribute their entry into the cabinet through the
three packing glands located more towards the right.
Shields of level 1 cable hoses will be connected to controller metal cabinet at

ground terminal (screw showing the ground symbol on right side wall). Length of cable
to be left without shield should be minimized. Shield junction should be the best and
shortest possible. The other end of shield (in distribution box, etc.) must not be
connected to ground or to any frame.
Inside cabinet, length of cables up to their connectors should be minimized to avoid

cable in excess within cabinet and to prevent level 1 cables from getting near or joining
level 2 cables. If it is considered necessary to leave cable in excess, this should be kept
in its own trunking.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
5 out of 71
WIRING BETWEEN CONTROLLER AND

DISTRIBUTION BOX, ELECTRIC PANEL AND
AMBIENT PROBE BOX
All the aforementioned recommendations have to be taken into account too
when making this wiring, always avoiding joining or mixing cables of different level or
controller supply.
Two separate hoses leave ambient humidity and temperature probe box: one of
them shielded, with ambient humidity and temperature probes, towards controller, the
other with two wires of maximum and minimum safety thermostats to electric panel.
Path in common of these two hoses should be minimized and, if possible, these hoses
should be kept separated from probe box itself.
Shields of hoses leaving distribution box towards controller have to be insulated

in this end as they are grounded in controller.

WIRING IN DRYER (DISTRIBUTION BOX)

Use the distribution box only for low level signals (level 1). Therefore, the two-
wire hose of maximum and minimum safety thermostats must not be taken to this box
but directly to electric panel. If this hose is to share a trunking with ambient humidity
and temperature probes, it would be advisable to add a ferrite in these two wires just
outside the electric panel, to avoid any interferences of this line being induced on probe
cables (Siemens B64290-K82-X830 ferrite with at least 7 or 8 turns or spirals).
Shields of hoses coming from probes of compressor discharge and suction

temperature, of suction and discharge pressure switches and of contacts of micro relays
should be attached at unit frame directly at distribution box inlet with the best and
shortest possible junction. Under no circumstances can the other end of shield be in
contact with frame or ground.
There must not be a connection with a ground cable between the electric panel and
distribution box. This connection already exists through frame.
.
WIRING IN DRYER (ELECTRIC PANEL)

Install RC filters in all coils of contactors, relays and micro relays. These filters
are to be those recommended by manufacturer of each actuator. Otherwise, a filter with
the following characteristics is to be used:
RC : Condenser 220nF X type.
Winded resistance, 3W, 47 to 220 ohm. Other type of resistance could be pierced and
this would eliminate filter efficiency.
Filters must be installed in micro relays also, although usually they are not in operation,
nevertheless, all of them make a connection at the same time whenever there is a
voltage start.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
8 out of 71
WIRING IN DRYER (MACHINES)

Cables of probes (like those of compressor suction and discharge temperature,
etc.) must be prevented from joining or fastening to level 2 cables (like valve
operations, etc.). They must be kept apart as much as possible.
All valves have to be fitted with RC filters.
WIRING FOR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN SEC-970

AND COMPUTER.
Communication cable between controller and computer must be a four-wire

shielded cable, two wires for transmission and two for reception, and interlaced in twos,
separate shields for each couple and one shield common for both couples.
This communication cable transmits an RS-422 signal that by means of a

converter becomes an RS-232 signal to enter computer.
Converter recommended by E.F.C. is WESTERMO MA-45.

It is possible to create 9 programmes of 25 steps each.
Once number of programme, number of step and length have been chosen, we move
onto PROGRAMME and by means of <Down arrow> key we go over setpoints we
want to modify. Modification of setpoints is similar to the one in AUTOMATIC
CONTROL.



6.3 Application of programmed control in Thawing unit.
The best way to carry out a controlled thawing process is to use the "Thawing control
by probes" and to create a programme with the steps considered necessary depending on
type of product, load, speed, etc. (see 5.8)
A standard thawing process is described below (values mentioned are a reference and
user must modify them depending on his requirements):
- CTEMP 16ºC (this value should decrease in successive steps as thawing progresses)
- CTSP 4ºC (this value can be kept in all steps)
- CTIP 1ºC (this value can be kept in all steps)
And a last step (time=0= indefinite), of "Storage control" (see chapter 5.6), to store
unfrozen products at, for example, 3ºC.
Times to be set to carry out thawing should be adjusted depending on mass, product and
several other factors, (it is usual to operate in thawing processes with times adding up
between 24 and 72 hours, depending on the above mentioned factors, but "each person
has his own way of thinking" and this point is not binding).
This “control of thawing by probes”, has two essential characteristics. The first one is
that as soon as CTSP or CTEM are reached machine stops providing heat. The second
one is that as soon as CTIP is reached by product internal Temperature, step is
considered finished and with no need to wait for step total time to elapse, it will
automatically jump to the following step that in last control would be "control of
storage". This means that as soon as thawing has finished it goes directly to storage
without waiting for timed fixed to elapse.

14. AIR DISTRIBUTION DAMPERS
Distribution dampers have to be adjusted at start-up.
The adjustment has to result in the correct air distribution or sweeping within
room. (This is essential to achieve the best homogeneity in product.)
There are different systems to properly adjust these dampers, for example, with
an anemometer, etc.
Whenever fan is running, air distribution dampers have to be running.
Their running philosophy is as follows:
Running is exactly the same in all types of controls (Self-contained, centralized

or tandem).
Configuration of the following data will be made in "Distribution and defrost"
display:
• Percent. of CP1 minimum opening CP1 (%MIN_CP1)

Range of edition = 0 – 50%
Value of load by default = 17%
• Percent. of CP1 maximum opening (%MAX_CP1)
• Percent. of CP2 minimum opening (%MIN_CP2)
• Percent. of CP2 maximum opening CP2 (%MAX_CP2)
• Time of total run
Range of edition = 0´30” – 4´00
Value of load by default = 2´30”
• Time of stop at each end
Range of edition = 1” – 60”
Value of load by default = 2”
There are 4 available outputs to enable damper opening and closing:

• Opening CP1 (CP1A)
• Closing CP1 (CP1C)
• Opening CP2 (CP2A)
• Closing CP2 (CP2C)
• The basic purpose intends to carry out the following:
To have the possibility of balancing the air as much as possible (unbalance

can be the result of conduit laying and other reasons), by limiting each
damper maximum and minimum opening, so that flow is limited.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
45 out of 71
• The basic running intends to carry out the following:
Assuming different opening values in both dampers and a stroke time for
both servomotors, basic running must make CP1 close while CP2 opens
and conversely. Shortest closing time damper must meet some waiting time
for synchronization to be correct.
Display of damper running status:
<Left arrow> + <Down arrow>
By holding down at the same time <Left arrow> + <Down arrow> keys from main
synoptic chart we reach a display where damper running status can be seen.
It shows how positioning is being made.

On which side positioning is taking place (side 1 or side 2)
Whether it is a standard operation, a readjusting operation or initial adjusting.
In addition, percents of opening of both dampers (closing, opening or stopped) are

shown at any time. Counter of number of operations since last readjustment is shown
as well.

15. TEMPERATURE ALARM AND ACCESS PERMIT TO

MODIFICATIONS.

This alarm and this permit are configured in display 'USER'S CONFIGURATION' that
can be accessed from main display by holding down at the same time <Left arrow> +
<Right arrow> keys.
USER'S CONFIGURATION KEY = 235
Before the possible configuration options appear it is necessary to enter user's key. This
key is different from the one for general configuration. If a faulty key is entered, control
returns to main display.
Once correct key has been entered:
USER'S CONFIGURATION CLAVE = 235

High temperature hysteresis HTA=OFF
Modification permit....YES
With <Down arrow> key we move onto 'Hysteresis..." line and then its status can be
modified by pressing <Up arrow> and <E> keys.
In case of OFF, no high temperature failure control is carried out; if there is any value,
this value would be of hysteresis over temperature setpoint and in the case room
temperature is higher than CTEM + HTA, we will receive a failure alarm but this will
NOT stop machine.
With <Down arrow> key we move onto 'Modification permit...' line. Its status is
modified by pressing <E>key.
If 'Modification permit .....NO', no data can be modified, no action whatsoever, like start
or stop a control, can be carried out, not even <ON/OFF> key would have any effect. It
will be possible to increase or decrease data but these values cannot be validated by
pressing <E> key.

Humidity safety band 4.0%
Display includes:
Current hour and day.
Weekly table for saving hours.
Safety bands.
Value of current hour and day is not controlled by a clock that will keep running during
supply cuts, therefore, hour can be delayed with respect to actual hour a period of time
equivalent to the time unit has been kept without supply. Any installation fitted with a
commercial computer will avoid this problem since from time to time computer will
update hour as well as day, saving table and bands.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
48 out of 71
Programming of a day, in the hour table, consists of 3 sections or intervals where

energy saving it to be carried out; thus, a section 7-15 means that the energy saving will
start at 7 o'clock and will end at 15 o'clock.
In the hour table a value of 0 to 24 h can be edited as well as xx that will mean that this
interval does not exist.
Safety bands are limits that if exceeded, will make saving stop. Value of these
temperature limits is equal to value of temperature setpoint ± temperature safety band.
Actually, humidity safety band is not a true band as it is just a limit over high
humidity setpoint (HR2) in drying controls (humidity, humidity and time, and losses) or
under low humidity setpoint (HR1) in curing and thawing unit controls.
With <Up arrow> and <Down Arrow> keys we move over the different line
headings. With <Right arrow> key edition fields are accessed. Once inside one of these
fields value will be modified with <Up arrow> and <Down arrow> keys and it will be
validated with <E> key. In edition fields of hour table, if <Right arrow> key is kept held
down, all table fields will scroll quickly.
The edition of several days with the same intervals can be carried out by making a
copy of intervals of the day before. For that purpose, it is necessary to go onto heading
of the day on which we wish to make a copy and hold down <E> key for 1 sec. Thus
copy of intervals of day of previous line is made.
Evidence of saving being carried out is by means of the quick blinking of

<ON/OFF> key.
Energy saving operation:
Control will begin saving process provided the following conditions exist:
- Current hour within a saving interval.
- Temperature and humidity within safety bands.
- Humidity > HR2 - 2 ºC (drying controls) or
- Humidity < HR1 (curing or thawing controls).
Control will stop saving when the following conditions exist:

- Current hour out of a saving range.
- Temperature or humidity out of safety bands.
If control has discontinued saving because temperature or humidity are out of

safety bands, the unit will resume saving as soon as temperature reaches its setpoint and
humidity is < HR2 - 2 ºC (drying controls) or humidity is > HR1 (curing or thawing
controls).
_____________________________________________________________________________________
49 out of 71
In time and storage control types only the temperature safety band it to be taken
into account.
The evidence that saving is in process is given by the quick blinking of

<ON/OFF> key. If control is stopped or on stand-by but within a saving interval,
blinking will also take place.
During saving process, actuations will be shown in display, although actually they
will not take place as long as the saving condition is maintained, unless it is question of
fan running by cyclic times or a cyclic or forced air renewal.
During saving process, fan will be running by cyclic times and cyclic or forced
renewals can be made.
While saving is being carried out, the use of outside air is not permitted. However,
it will be permitted, if while being in a saving interval, saving has been discontinued
because it is out of safety bands.

PERSONNEL TRAINING
TRAINING OF PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE START-

UP , MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
Given the electric power used and how unit operates, personnel who is going to
carry out above operations must be familiar with both the electrical system and the
refrigeration system. This knowledge has to be confirmed by training courses or
recognised specific knowledge.
SAFETY MATERIAL TO BE USED DURING THE

OPERATIONS OF START-UP, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
It will be necessary to tell apart operations in electrical system and in

refrigeration system. In any case, material used must be in accordance with system to be
checked. Likewise, the exacting compliance of safety measures concerning electric
contacts and protections, is required.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Given unit construction and how they are delivered, it is assumed that there are
no risk areas, taking into account particularly, that personnel responsible for any
intervention must be familiar with unit. Nevertheless and as they are important, the
following should be mentioned:
Fan and its transmission are covered with a metal housing that can be removed with the
appropriate tool, in that case it is necessary to remove voltage and to take care not to
introduce any extremities or sharp objects into fan, motor or transmission.
The electric panel, in its condition as a power supply centre, must be handled
without voltage and with total lack of sharp objects.
To handle it, use indicators of unit status to avoid the accidental start-up.
