If the process hunts between heating and cooling, a
deadband setting may be needed. Enter a small value,
eg. 1 and observe the process. Increase the setting until
hunting stops.

Water cooled applications
Water cooled applications operating at temperatures greater
than 100°C may suffer from the non linear effect caused by
water turning to steam. This can be countered by the non
linear setting for SP2;
In level 2 set

Multi zone applications
When tuning multi zone applications like extruders,
distortions due to thermal interaction between adjacent
zones can be minimised by running autotune on all
controllers at the same time.
