Changing The Automatic Manual Control (Amc) Setting; Changing The Output Power Limit Setting; Changing The Zone Control From Art To Pid - Husky Altanium Matrix2 User Manual

User Guide
Altanium allows users to turn Earth Leakage Check On or Off for the each zone. The default
setting is "On" for all zones. Turning Earth Leakage Check off is only necessary under very
special circumstances. To turn the Earth Leakage Check off globally for the entire system,
please call the nearest Husky Regional Service and Sales office.

7.5.20 Changing the Automatic Manual Control (AMC) Setting

If a thermocouple malfunctions during normal operation, Altanium can automatically apply
a manual power output percentage to the heater, based on the information gathered before
the thermocouple failed. This feature is called Automatic Manual Control (AMC).
If a thermocouple fails and AMC is turned ON, the control changes the failed zone into
manual mode and sets a manual power output, based on the previously recorded average
power output to that heater. If AMC is turned OFF, the control skips to PCM (Priority Control
Mode) and performs the designated task. The default setting is ON for all zones.
To change the AMC setting for a zone, do the following:

7.5.21 Changing the Output Power Limit Setting

The Output Power Limit setting allows users to set the maximum amount of power that can
be delivered to the heaters. The default power limit for all zones is 100%.

7.5.22 Changing the Zone Control from ART to PID

Altanium can automatically adjust the control algorithm to suit different heater
requirements. This control method is referred to as Active Reasoning Technology (ART). In
some cases, it may be necessary to switch from the automatically adjusted ART algorithm to
an algorithm that can be manually adjusted. This control method is referred to as PID. When
switching a zone from ART control to PID control, the user can manually enter values for the
Proportional, Integral and Derivative parameters. The default control mode for all zones is
ART.
To toggle the zone control between ART and PID, do the following:
1.
