    7. PRODUCT OPERATION. 7.1. The MC810B controller has been designed for easy operation. The illustrations below show detailed layouts of this control unit. Instruction book label (refer to this book). Mains input IEC socket with fuses. 3 digit LED display Orange Neon power on indication lamp.
  • Page 11 7.2. Connection. 7.2.1. Plug in the temperature probe to the 5 pin DIN socket. Place the temperature probe into the sample ensuring that at least 40mm of the probe tip is in contact with the sample. Ensure the temperature probe is correctly plugged into the 5- pin DIN socket at the rear of the MC810B Controller.
  • Page 12 7.3.3. Proportional, Integral and Derivative Control. A proportional controller continuously adjusts the power, so the heat input to the process is approximately in balance with the process heat requirements in order to maintain a stable temperature. The range of temperature over which power is adjusted is from 0% to 100%.
  • Page 13 MC810B controller will activate with the last preset parameters. Furthermore by pressing the key from any condition the unit will revert back to Function mode. 7.6. Configuration. 7.6.1. Enter Programming mode as described in paragraph 7.11 The available parameters in the configuration menu are as shown in the table on pages 15 to 7.6.2.
  • Page 14 Start Auto-tuning. 7.10.2. During normal operation, keep buttons pressed for 3 seconds.1CT blinks on the display. With pressed set the cycle time in order to define the dynamic process to be controlled. To abort the auto-tuning function, press ; to start auto- tuning press or wait or 30 seconds.
  • Page 15 7.11. Configuring Parameters. 7.11.1. To select the parameter, enter Programming mode press button for 5 seconds. Use the buttons to select the parameter for modification. Press the button to display the value. By keeping the button pressed, use the buttons to set the desired value.
  • Page 16 Integral action time. 0..999s The steady-state error is cancelled by inserting an integral action. The integral action time, determines the speed with which the steady-state temperature is achieved, but a high speed (1IT low) may be the cause of the overshoot and instability in the response.
  • Page 17 *ATM Alarm threshold management. NON; NON: all temperature alarms are inhibited (the following parameter will be SB). ABS; ABS: the value programmed in ALM and AHA represent the real alarm thresholds. REL: the value programmed in ALR and AHR are alarm differentials reerreed to 1SP and 1SP+1HY Low temperature alarm threshold.
