Programming Press and hold for 5 seconds, then release to enter the setup menu. Press and release to cycle through the list of parameters. The upper display indicates the parameter symbol, and the lower display indicates the value of the selected parameter. User Security There are two parameters, PASS (password) and CODE (security code), which will control the lockout program. -
Page 13: Control Output
Control Output There are 4 kinds of control modes can be configured as shown below. 2.3.1 Heat Only ON-OFF Control – (Used for Solonoids and Valves) Select REVR for OUT1, Set PB to 0. O1HY is used to adjust the hysteresis for ON-OFF control. -
Page 14: Cool Only Control
2.3.3 Heat only PID Control – (Default for Electric Heaters) Select REVR for OUT1. PB and TI should not be zero. Perform Auto-Tuning for initial startup. If the control result is not satisfactory, use manual tuning or try Auto-Tuning a second time to improve the control performance. -
Page 15: User Calibration
Note: When the ramp function is used, the lower display will show the current ramping value. However, it will revert to show the set point value as soon as the up or down key is touched for adjustment. The ramp rate is initiated at power on and/or whenever the Set point is changed. -
Page 16: Failure Transfer
Note: The Filter is available only for the process value (PV), and is performed for the displayed value only. The controller is designed to use an unfiltered signal for control even when a filter is applied. If a lagged (filtered) signal is used for control; it may produce an unstable process. 2-4.Filter Characteristics Failure Transfer The controller will enter failure mode if one of the following conditions occurs:... -
Page 17: Auto-Tuning Error
2.8.1 Auto-Tuning Operation Steps 1. The system is set up to run under real-world conditions. 2. “PB and “TI” settings should not be set to zero. 3. The LOCK parameter should be set to NONE. 4. Set the set point to a normal operating value, or a lower value if overshooting beyond the normal process value will cause damage. -
Page 18: Manual Tuning
Manual Tuning In certain applications, using Auto-Tuning may be inadequate for the control requirement, or, the process moves too slowly to Auto-tune accurately. If this is the case, the user can try manual tuning. If the control performance by using Auto-Tuning is still unsatisfactory, the following guidelines can be applied for further adjustment of PID values. -

2.10 Manual Control To enable manual control, ensure the LOCK parameter is set to NONE. Press and hold until (Hand Control) appears on the display. Press and hold until the “MANU” indicator begins to flash. The lower display will show Indicates the output control variable for output 1, and indicates the control variable for output 2. - Page 20 Radiant Heaters Strip Heaters Flexible Heaters Tubular Heaters Process Heaters Instrumentation Temperature Control Temperature Sensors 607 N.
