Before Starting Pretune
Before starting Pretune, configure/adjust the loop as follows:
Auto/Manual: Either mode is acceptable. Changing the loop mode after starting pretune will abort the
pretune, causing an error message to appear.
Process Variable: Adjust setpoint or output to bring the process variable to normal operation range.
Adjusting or switching setpoints or output after starting pretune will abort the pretune, causing an error
message to appear.
Gain/Proportional Band, Reset: Use known good settings. Or, set Gain = 1.0 (PB = 100), Reset = 1.0 and
place loop in Manual mode.
Rate: Optional. If OFF, pretune will not calculate a Rate.
Suppress Overshoot: Set to OFF. Pretune may detect changes to the working setpoint and abort. Turn this
setting back on after pretune is complete.
After Starting Pretune
After starting the pretune, do not change/adjust the loop mode, loop output, loop setpoint, or operating
mode. If you do, the pretune will abort. See Pretune Abort Messages later in this section.
