To locate a controller, search on the part number such as 965A-1CD0-00RG. Use the Help feature in Adobe Reader on
how to search documents.
If there are multiple listings, then the retrofit is conditional upon field use. Select the appropriate selection. The User’s
Manual is included at the bottom of this document when available.
Before selecting a replacement controller:

1. Know the application.
• Temperature range
• Sensor type
• Is the sensor upgradable if required?
• Additional input requirements – remote set points, secondary sensor or events
• Output required – control, alarm, event
• Is the power-switching device upgradable?
• Operating voltage of controller
• Mounting requirements – panel space
• Is a safety limit device required?
2. Know the product.

• Inputs – type and number of
• Control function – direct (cool) or reverse (heat)
• Outputs – switched DC, SSR, or mechanical relay
• Communication requirements
• Which control features are required? (cascade, slidewire, differential, remote control, other)
3. Use your best judgment for selecting a replacement controller. All applications require close examination of input,
output and the control mode needs to have the controller function properly.
4. Safety: Remember to make sure all redundant safety equipment is in place and working when retrofitting equipment.
If a system has been retrofitted without the proper safety equipment, you could be liable if an accident occurs.
This is only a guide to replacement controllers. If you have doubts, please call (507) 454-5300
and ask for technical support or email wintechsupport@watlow.com. We’re here to help. The
suggested replacement will differ in fit and form. Please review the replacement controller
specifications for suitability. Carefully check the notes for additional information that may
apply.

Action – determines the direction of control. Heat (reverse acting) or Cool (direct acting).
Auto Reset – the limit will automatically reset on a power cycle but requires manual reset on limit trip.
Cascade – a control algorithm in which the output of one control loop provides a set point for another loop. The second
loop, in turn, determines the control action.
Ch – Channel refers to an analog input. There are single and dual channel controllers.
Control Mode – the method that a controller uses to switch the outputs such as PID, ON/OFF, and Manual.
Differential - control algorithm in which the output is based on the difference of the inputs plus set point.
DIN – Deutsche Industrial Norm, a set of technical, scientific and dimensional standards developed in Germany. RTD
sensors with the DIN curve change resistance at a rate of 0.00385 ohms/ohms/C.
DIN Rail – standard DIN EN50022 mounting method for attaching devices onto a metal rail.
Fixed – refers to a set point that is fixed at one value.
High Limit - device will deactivate output on a temperature rise above set point.
Inductive Load – any device that has a wire winding such as solenoids, electromechanical relays or transformers.
Input – refers to the sensor types that may be connected.

Integral – the set point in integral (on board) to the controller.
JIS – Joint Industrial Standards, a set of technical, scientific and dimensional standards developed in Japan. RTD sensors
with the JIS curve change resistance at a rate of 0.00396 ohms/ohms/C.
Line Voltage – the voltage required powering the electronics of the controller.

exceeds the hysteresis.
Open Brd – the form factor of this controller is an open circuit board mounted on four standoffs.
Manual Reset – the limit must be reset on a power cycle and requires manual reset on limit trip.
Multi RSP – multiple remote set potentiometers were supported. Each allowed the set point to be selected and adjusted.
Relay – refers to an electromechanical relay.
Remote – set point is adjusted using a remote potentiometer.
Panel – the form factor of this controller is mounted through a hole cut in the panel.
PI – Proportional and Integral, a control mode with two functions: proportional action dampens the systems response,
and integral corrects for droop.
PID – Proportional, Integral, and Derivative, a control mode with three functions: proportional action dampens the
systems response, integral corrects for droop, and derivative prevents overshoot and undershoot.

Shorted Output Protection

The Watlow DIN-a-mite alarm option provides
shorted output protection. If there is output current
and no input command signal, the DIN-a-mite
triggers an alarm. Typical indicators such as a
latching limit, light, or audible alarm (customer-
supplied) are triggered by the DIN-a-mite triac,
rated for 24/240VÅ 300mA @ 25°C and 125mA @

Shorted SCR Alarm Non-latching Operation

The shorted SCR detector compares the input command signal and actual load
current. If load current is present without an input signal then the shorted SCR
alarm will energize a triac (on board the DIN-a-mite) output. There is about a
four second delay before the output switches. This is a non-latching alarm. This
output can be used to drive various indication devices, i.e. coil, light, buzzer, etc.

If the DIN-a-mite triac alarm output energizes it will energize the RY1 RESET SWITCH

Phone: 507-454-5300, Fax: 507-452-4507 DIN-a-mite solid state power control. This
product represents the state-of-the-art in solid
state power control design. Please consult this
user’s manual when placing your new DIN-a-
mite in service. It contains all the necessary
information to mount and wire it into the applica-
tion. This manual also contains all pertinent
specifications and semiconductor fusing recom-
mendations. Please refer to national and local
electrical code safety guidelines whenever
installing electrical equipment.
This DIN-a-mite product is capable of switching

up to 100 amps single phase, at 600VÅ (ac) at
30°C, depending on the model selected. It is
electrically touch-safe and includes: standard
back-panel mounting; on-board semiconductor
fuses; and a current transformer option for exter-
nal load current monitoring. A shorted SCR
alarm option can notify the user of a shorted
SCR condition. This is done via a circuit that
monitors load current and input command signal
simultaneously. If there is load current when
there isn’t a command signal, a secondary triac
output will energize in about 3-4 seconds elapse
time. This triac output can be wired to a remote
alarm indicator.
The DIN-a-mite D mounting footprint matches

that of an industry standard 100 amp mercury
displacement relay. This DIN-a-mite is CE
Approved, UL 508 listed, C-UL and VDE 0160.
