They represent an exclusive combination • 1 universal input for TC, 2/3 wire RTD, PTC, NTC, performance, reliability and applicational flexibility. In particular, this new line of Gefran tempera- and linear thermocouples, supplied with current and ture controllers is the ideal solution for application voltage with accuracy better than 0.2% f.s.

This section illustrates the functions and operating modes of the displays, the indicator lights and the buttons that make up the operator interface of series 1200/1300 controllers. It is therefore an essential requirement for programming and configuring the controllers correctly.
General Operating Notes Switching on and using the Controller Self-diagnostics • Immediately after switching on the controller carries out a self-diagnostic test. During the test, all the display segments and the 7 indicator lights will flash. • If the self-diagnostics procedure does not detect any errors the controller enters the normal working status (Level 1) • Any errors found by the self-diagnostics are memorized in a record and can be displayed with the ERR function in the INF menu Normal Working - Level 1 PV Displays the value of the Process Variable.
Navigating through the Controller Menu Keep pressed down to scroll through the menus in sequence and release it when the required menu appears. Press to access the parameters of the selected menu. Keep to return immediately to level 1. Level 1 Display Menu 39.
Integral heating time [0.0 ... 99.99] % f.s. 4. 0 0 Optimal working operation of the 1200/1300 Controller in the field of application it is intended for depends largely on correct (default value) configuration and programming of the relevant control parameters.

If the Integral Time value is too long (Weak integral action), deviation between the controlled variable and the set- point may persist. Contact GEFRAN for more information on control actions. Manual Tuning A) Enter the setpoint at its working value.
Software ON/OFF switching function How to switch the unit OFF: hold down the “F” and “Raise” keys simultaneously for 5 seconds to deactivate the unit, which will go to the OFF state while keeping the line supply connected and keeping the process value displayed. The SV display is OFF.
Auto-Tuning Enabling the auto-tuning function blocks the PID parameter settings. It can be one of two types: permanent (continuous) or single-action (one-shot). * Continuous auto-tuning is activated via the Stu parameter (values 1, 3, 5). It continuously reads system oscillations, immediately seeking the PID parameter values that reduce the current oscillation. It does not engage if the oscillations drop below 1.0% of the proportional band.
