Temperature Display
The temperature display reports the thermocouple temperature or an average of the multiple thermocouple
temperatures. The color of the main temperature display can be changed from Green to Red to Black by touching
the display area.
(Four dashes) appear on the controller display during power up. The 4 dashes are in place of the normal
thermocouple display temperature. This allows time for the initial temperature measurement to stabilize before it is
displayed.
For Multizone, the temperature display will show the average thermocouple of all the thermocouple inputs.
Temperature Units
If your controller is configured to display temperature values in °F, heating rates will be programmed as Degrees
Fahrenheit per hour and target temperatures will be programmed as Degrees Fahrenheit. If your controller is
configured to display temperature values in °C, heating rates will be programmed as Degrees Centigrade per hour
and target temperatures will be programmed as Degrees Centigrade. To change the temperature units, see the Units
screen.

have custom labels.
