Rated 3 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Already purchased a second time Controller was shipped and received quickly, works perfectly for our temp control at the brewery.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cost Wise This is a cost wise controller that performs well. Omega is a trusted Company I have used for years.
Date published: 2022-02-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Powerful, Compact, bit tricky to learn Works well, good features, bit tricky to program until reading on line manual. The included paper document is not clear about the button press timings to activate the three different menus.. Increasing and decreasing temperatures a bit slow as numbers increment and decrement slow as you hold the button. Bubble membrane buttons are not so easy to use they are so small, and require significant pressure to activate. You have to hold the little head unit I installed them in from moving as you press. Seems to hold temperatures very nicely, display is nice. Overall it is a very nice feature packed unit, and fairly easy to use once you figure it out.

I have a CN08D3-L-AC controller. The manual describes a "remote mode" that would allow the setting value to be controlled with a 0-10V analog signal. Can I add this feature by adding a remote board to the controller? If so, what is the part number?

Asked by: bmendelson
Thank you for your inquiry. The unit can accept the signal directly. No extra hardware needed.

Can the CN16D3-M-DC float since it is being suppled with 24 V DC?

Asked by: kls1
Thank you for your inquiry. This model operates on DC Power: 24 VDC ±10%, 5W max and does not require an earth ground connection.

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.

Asked by: Iceman
Hi Iceman, Thank you for the inquiry. Our control relays are currently limited to 10 A service; https://br.omega.com/omegaFiles/auto/pdf/XTRE_SERIES.pdf https://www.omega.com/en-us/communication-and-connectivity/interface-cards/electromechanical-relays/xtre-series/p/XTRE10B40A Best regards OMEGA

omega recommend a cm16d3-m-ac controller how do i hook up wires to retransmit temperature signal to a plc

Asked by: james o
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!

Asked by: directandrew
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.

Asked by: JFWp
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.
