Outstanding controller, abysmal manual.
This would be a 5+ star product if it weren't for the extraordinarily poor manual. This is a complex controller with a tremendous number of features and settings that can handle very difficult process control problems easily...once you figure out how to use it. Technical support, while very well meaning and committed to helping, was of not much assistance as they also relied on the same manual, and generally suggested "reading the manual" as a way out. I wouldn't have called if I hadn't read the manual. I will admit, that I am old, but I have been using Omega controllers for decades with few problems. The descriptions in the manual for this excellent controller were abysmal.

DONT DO THSI TO YOURSELF!
Extremely hard to program. You don't want to be spending hours just trying to program a simple step heating process and it still not working. Instructions aren't the best. There is no sense of hierarchy in the instruction steps nor a clear description of what each term means.

Capable, Simple, Affordable Controller
Handy little controller that has worked flawlessly so far. Installed to replace the failing electronics in a drying oven and found it easy to adapt to relatively low temperature use with the appropriate limits and alarms. Has brought control temperatures (using the same sensor) within 2C of the setpoint compared to 10C with the older electronics.

DON'T
The unit was so hard to program that even with Omega engineers helping/instructing me over the phone I could not get it to work. After 4 calls and about 8 hours on the phone I gave up.

CND3 Temperature Controller
Great features for the price, especially the Auto-Tune feature. The manual it comes with is not very helpful so don't expect it to teach you how to set up a Temperature Controller. The online manuals are slightly better. Once you wrap you head around the programming aspect it's a great controller.

Great Controller
Great controller but Tech Support thru "Contact Support" on website had little knowledge of how to help with controller functions. Some trial and error, and too much manual reading to make it do what I wanted.

Great programmable controller
This controller is just what I needed to upgrade my existing furnace controller to a controller with program/profile capabilities. It does everything I need it to do for this application. The only drawback is that the buttons are difficult to push, but once set up, this is a minor issue.

Is output 1 the linear V output. Is it max 250V @ 5amp? Can it work on a contactor with a 110/120V coil?
Thank you for your inquiry Tennessee1074. The 250 Vac @ 5 A output you are referring to is for the relay output of the controller. Yes, it can handle any voltage below 250 Vac as long the current rating of the load is below 5 A.

Can the CN16D3-M-DC float since it is being suppled with 24 V DC?
Thank you for your inquiry. This model operates on DC Power: 24 VDC ±10%, 5W max and does not require an earth ground connection.

Can the variables, in particular P, be negative?
Thank you for your inquiry. No it can not be negative.

Do you have a heater contactor for running (2) 1500 Watt, 240 VAC heaters ? Need (2) contactors each rated for 10 or 15A, in an enclosure.
Hi Iceman,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Our control relays are currently limited to 10 A service;

omega recommend a cm16d3-m-ac controller how do i hook up wires to retransmit temperature signal to a plc
The output of this controller is a 'powered output' so simply run terminal # 5 (+) to the Positive input of your PLC, and #4 (-) to the Negative input of your PLC.

Hi, Model CN16D3-M-AC --> Can you confirm this would work connecting the DC output of controller to the control of a SSR model SSRL240DC10? thx!
Hi Directandrew,
This will not work. You'll need the version with DC pulse; CN16D3-S-AC.
Best regards,
Omega

What is the depth of the CN16D3-M-AC controller? Could not find the info in the manual or via chat.
Thank you for your inquiry! The depth needed for the panel cutout is 79.7mm. If you need the depth for the entire controller itself please reach out to temp@omega.com.
