1 Introduction to the Controller and Manual

1.1 Using This Manual

This manual aims to explain how to set up and operate the Eurotherm 3216CC series of

controllers; it must be read in conjunction with the product main manual.

Due to the complex nature of furnace or oven control the use of technical terms throughout

this manual is unavoidable. Explanations of these terms can be found in the ‘Glossary of

Terms’ at the back of this manual.

This manual covers the operation of:

1.1.1 3216CC - Controller

The 3216CC is a digital temperature controller which uses PID algorithms to give excellent

temperature control when properly set. This controller can only be used as a simple

temperature controller, it cannot be programmed.

1.2 PID Control

The 3216 series of controllers use PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) temperature

control. This type of control uses a complex mathematical control system to adjust the

power being sent to the elements and to hold the furnace or oven at the desired

temperature.
