Features
The Controller B 150 is an electronic temperature
regulator with the following features:
The Controller is provided with a number of electronic
safety equipment. If a fault occurs, the furnace switches
itself off automatically and an error message appears on
the LC display. You can find more detailed information
in the chapter Error messages.
Switch mains switch to position I. Type and version of
the Controller appear on the display. Then the Controller
is ready to operate. All necessary settings for proper
functioning were already made at the factory.
Setting or changing programs/delay time
The program has a ramp and a holding time:
A linear rise in temperature (slow heating) is set in
the ramp via segment temperature T1 and segment
time time 1.
In holding time 2 you can define how long the
temperature set in T1 is to be maintained. During
the program run the holding time can be changed by
actuating the key, selecting the time value
time 2 and keeping the +/- button pressed.
The values can be changed with the +/- key. By
actuating the key repeatedly, the value is changed by
1 C (1 F) or by one minute.
Keep the key pressed to change the value more quickly.

Confirm the entry in T or time by actuating the
key. If this key is not pressed, the changes are
discarded and the previously set value remains valid.
To ensure that old program values are not retrieved in a
newly generated program, you should first call in the
program 0.
The unit of the expected value C/F or h:mm is shown
on the display.
Input the time in hours and minutes, e.g. enter 06:30 for
six hours and 30 minutes.
Skip values that are not to be changed with .
Changed settings are first of all only stored temporarily
(please see also Saving programs).
After a program has been input or changed, the modified
values are saved in a volatile memory.
If you want to store the program changes permanently,
actuate the storage key twice. The program can
then be called from memory location 1.
If the storage key is not pressed a second time
within 10 seconds the Controller displays again
the furnace temperature. In this case the program
is not stored.
Program locations that are already occupied are
overwritten without further notice and can no longer be
recovered.
Stored programs remain in the memory even when the
system is switched off.
Call the stored program with the P key and check the
program by actuating the button.
After input of a heating program the process can be
started with start/stop . After the program has been

started the diode of the respective active segment time1
or time 2 lights up during the program run. The set
temperature profiles are automatically controlled by the
Controller and the status field heat starts flashing
during the heating cycle.
When a delay time has been defined the diode wait
lights up and the remaining delay time is counted down
on the display. The status field heat flashes only
when the program has been started.
To abort a program press the start/stop key again.
The heater is switched off and the status field end
flashes.
The program can be aborted at any desired time.
However, it is not possible to abort a program only
temporarily.
To prevent unintentional or prohibited access to the pro-
gram run, the keyboard can be blocked by means of the
key lock after the program has been started.
The key lock can only be released when the Con-
troller is switched off and then on again (behaviour
during switching off, please refer to Power failure
behaviour)!
By actuating the info key, the following process
information can be displayed:

The Controller B150 can be equipped with an RS 422
data interface, that is optionally realized via a 9-pin D-
Sub plug connection. This interface can be used to send
and receive control functions as well as archive data. A
data transmission is indicated on the display by com
(communication with PC).
The interface is immediately ready for operation; e.g. for
the Nabertherm furnace supervision software Control-
therm (see also Setting of the interface address.)
To operate several Controllers/furnaces on one data
network the interface address might have to be changed
(see Setting of the interface address).
If the data connection line between the furnace and the
PC/notebook is longer than 20 m, communication errors
may occur if an interface power supply that is available
as option is not used.
Special settings that affect the operational behaviour of
the Controller are to be made in the configuration menu.
The configuration menu is divided into 2 access levels
that can be called via different passwords.
Possibilities of settings at configuration level 1

Keep the Info key pressed and actuate the - - - - - key
briefly, then release the Info key again. Co 0 is
displayed and the system is waiting for the password.
Actuate +/- to enter the code for the desired
configuration level and confirm by pressing the
storage key. Scroll the screen with to display the
parameters one after the other as described above.
Changed settings must be stored by pressing the
storage key. During write operation the value is flashing
briefly on the display.
Changing the control parameters may affect the
function of the control system considerably.
To calculate the power consumption in kW/h in the info
menu, the furnace performance which is indicated on the
rating plate must be input. In general these settings were
already defined by Nabertherm. Otherwise select
parameter PF at configuration level 0 and input the

e.g. furnace performance 3.6kW * 10 = input 36.
Acknowledge the settings with .
When several Controllers are operated within a data
network, different addresses are to be set at the Control-
lers.
Select parameter Adat configuration level 0, input
a new addresss (1...99) and confirm by actuating the
storage key.
Select parameter Fat configuration level 0, set to
1 and acknowledge with .
The safety cut-out in the Controller is automatically
converted, all the other temperature settings must
subsequently be changed to F, if necessary.
The preset heating programs are always programmed in
C and must be adapted manually if the temperature
units are changed.
The control parameters of the Controllers are already set
for an optimum regulation of the furnace at the factory. If
this control behaviour should be inappropriate for your
process, you can improve it by automatic optimization.
The Controller has four different parameter sets, that
were preset for different furnace models.
The preset parameter set is indicated in parameter PA
(please see also Configuration).
When the automatic optimization is carried out the control
parameters of the selected parameter set are determined
and stored by a special measuring method.
Start the automatic optimization only when the furnace
has cooled down (T < 60 C) since otherwise wrong
parameters will be determined for the controlled process!
First input a program in which the temperature to be
optimized is programmed in T1. Set all time displays
time to 00:00.

Switch-over C/F
Automatic optimization

Select parameter tu at configuration level 2, set to
1 and confirm by pressing the key. The automatic
optimization is now started and tune and the furnace
temperature appear alternately in the display.
When the optimization is finished the status field End
is flashing. The determined parameters are stored by the
Controller in the parameter set for the corresponding
temperature range.
In any case the automatic optimization is carried out at
appr. 70% of the value set in T1 in order to prevent
destroying the furnace, e.g. when the maximum
temperature is optimized.
The automatic optimization can take more than 3 hours
for some models, dependent on the furnace type and the
temperature range.
The control behaviour may deteriorate in other temperature
ranges when an automatic optimization was executed.
Nabertherm rejects all liability for damages which are
caused by manual or automatic changes of the control
parameters (please see also Temperature-dependent
parameter sets)!
Temperature-dependent parameter sets
If 0 is set in parameter PA, all 4 parameter sets are
available to control the furnace. The parameter sets are
then divided as follows:
Parameter set 1 T = 0 -250 C (0 -482 F)
Parameter set 2 T = 251 -500 C (483 -932 F)
Parameter set 3 T = 501 -1000 C (933 -1832 F)
Parameter set 4 T > 1000 C (>1832 F)
Read out the parameter set selected in PA before you
activate the temperature-dependent parameters. Then
set the same P-, I- and D-values in all parameter sets.
You can then search special parameters for a certain
temperature range which do not affect the remaining
temperature ranges.
Carry out an automatic optimization for all temperature
ranges, if necessary.

Error messages can be reset by switching the mains
switch off and on. Leave the equipment switched off for
at least 5 seconds.
Recirculation motors (if installed) remain switched on,
even in case of an error. The heater is in any case
switched off.
If the error message does not reappear within one minute
after the system is switched on, the Controller is again
ready for operation. If the error message reappears, inform
Nabertherm service.
