INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW The FTSs Pro Modular Temperature Controller works in conjunction with a pressurized glycol system to provide temperature control over the contents of your vessel. It functions by using a temperature sensor to read the present value (PV) of your vessel, and triggering an output based on the set value (SV) in order to match PV with SV.
1 and 2. SOLENOID INSTALLATION The FTSs Pro Modular Temperature Controller comes with either a ½” (1-3.5 bbl Unitank) or ¾” (5 bbl and larger Unitank) electric solenoid valve. Installation can be handled in a variety of ways based on preference and setup.

SENSOR: SETTINGS & CALIBRATION (CONTINUED) CALIBRATION Before use, it is important to ensure that your sensor is properly calibrated. There are several ways of calibrating a temperature sensor, but the simplest way is to use an ice-water mixture. When you insert your sensor into an ice-water mixture, it should read 32°F (0°C).
It contains a whole host of menu options and settings that are not crucial to the basic functioning of your FTSs Pro. Outlined below are a few of the more pertinent menu settings. For more detailed information, please consult the Omron Programming Guides.
ADDITIONAL MENU SETTINGS (CONTINUED) DECIMAL POINTS The controller can be set to adjust the decimal point displayed on the controller. This is handy if you wish to have finer temperature control, or if you are using a smaller hysteresis value. Press and hold the “Level Key”...

OPERATIONS When in “Run” mode, the user can select a set value using the up and down keys. This can be used to maintain fermentation temperatures, or for cooling purposes. When the set value is below the present value, “OUT” will display on the controller and the solenoid valve will open. When the set value is achieved, “OUT”...
