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 14: 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 15 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.

User Calibration - Display Offset Each unit is calibrated in the factory before shipment. The user can still modify the calibration in the field. The basic calibration of the controller is highly stable and set for life. User calibration allows the user to offset the permanent factory calibration in order to: ! Calibrate the controller to meet a user reference standard. -
Page 17: 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 18 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 19: 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. -
