    Therefore, in actual use, the ON/OFF temperature control action has some hysteresis which is named dead band or control sensitivity. This prevents the quick chattering around the set value when the process value is very near. Heat Manager Pro User Manual V1.5 Page 66...

  • Page 67: Proportional Action

    Large slow systems that react slowly to deviations generally need a higher P action than small quick systems. Note: Setting the P action to 0 will result in on/off control action. This will result in relatively large over- and undershoots. Heat Manager Pro User Manual V1.5 Page 67...
