SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Configuring the controller to perform a sample load program involves defining a series of
ramp and dwell segments.
Once the program exists, the program is executed by pressing the Run button. To suspend
the program the Run/Hold button may be pressed briefly (Hold light illuminates) and
restarted by pressing the Run/Hold button again.
To terminate the program, the Run/Hold button is pressed until the Run light is Off. Press
the Auto/Man button to place the controller in manual mode.
Use the following procedure to define and run a program:
1.
Turn the system On.
2.
Press the Page button until the Prog menu appears.
3.
Press the Scroll button until the Segment number 1 is displayed (SEG.n with the set
point value reading 1 indicates segment number 1)
4.
Press the Scroll button twice.
5.
Enter the segment type (tYPE). Use the Up/Down buttons to enter a ramp time (rmP.t)
type.
6.
Press the Scroll button.
7.
Enter the target setpoint (tGt). This is the desired load at the end of the ramp, expressed
in units of Lbf/10.
8.
Press the Scroll button.
9.
Continue the process of defining remaining segments. The maximum number of
segments is 8.
10. The final segment type has a type End.
11. Press the Run/Hold button to start the program.
