1. Introduction The purpose of this manual is to allow quick set-up of the SX100 controller, providing information on the most commonly used functions when used for control of the EasiHeat unit. See the SX100 Operator's Manual and Site Manual.
Press SCROLL key to return to BASE MODE. 2.2 Selecting and running a program (Refer to SX100 Operator's Manual) Note: if a program is already running, (i.e the 'RUN' indicator is lit), first press the RUN /HOLD key for more than 5 seconds to return unit to BASE MODE.
2.3 Adjusting the setpoint (Refer to SX100 Operator's Manual) Note: This setting is normally set to 0°C . It does not represent the running setpoint temperature. Setting the temperature at this level will prevent the steam valve opening with no circulating pump running.

Table 1 Parameters common to all programs ('P No.' = A) (PROGRAM DEFINE MODE) To enter from BASE MODE: Press UP and SCROLL buttons together. Press UP button to select unlock code. Press SCROLL button. Press PROF button repeatedly until 'A' is visible in the 'P No.' display. This permits the user to view / modify parameters common to all programs.

Table 2 Parameters which apply to a specific program No. ('P No.' = 1 - 8) (PROGRAM DEFINE MODE) To enter from BASE MODE: Press UP and SCROLL buttons together. Press UP button to select unlock code. Press SCROLL button. Press PROF button repeatedly until required program no.
Table 3 Parameters which apply to segments in a specific program ('P No.' = 1 - 8, SEG No. = 1 - 5) (PROGRAM DEFINE MODE) To enter from BASE MODE: Start from Table 2, with SEG window blank, then to move on to the Segment No. parameters, press the RUN / HOLD button (Segment No.

2.5 Example of how to set a program: In this example we wish to create a program which will turn on domestic hot water heating in a building. (This example is the same program as is factory set in Program No. 1). The required settings are that: Start time = 0800 hrs Days hot water is required = Monday to Friday...

Segment 1 Press the RUN / HOLD button so that '1' appears in the SEG window (This means we are programming the settings for Segment No. 1). Use UP and DOWN buttons to set the required 'Final SP', i.e. 65. This is the desired temperature for the end of the segment.
Table 4 CONTROLLER DEFINE MODE To enter from BASE MODE: - Press UP and SCROLL buttons together. - Press UP button to select unlock code. - Press SCROLL button. - Press MODE button. Controller parameters These are independent of Program or Segment Nos. ('P No.' 1 - 8), SET led on, SEG display blank.

2.6 Example of how to set the PID settings (Refer to Table 4, pages 10 and 11) It is a good idea to set the PID values to their optimum values, using for example, the Ziegler-Nicholls frequency response method (see DB-S27-08). In order to adjust the settings, from BASE MODE, or RUN MODE: Press UP and SCROLL buttons together.

2.8 Hardware definition parameters (Refer to SX100 Site Manual) This is a special facility which specifies the hardware fitted (input type, output types etc.); this must be compatible with the hardware actually fitted. It can be accessed, in CONFIGURATION MODE by pressing the DOWN and SCROLL keys together.
