If you lose the operating manual, you can download a new one from our LAUDA homepage. When operating the device, there is a risk of injury from high and low tem- peratures, fire and the presence of electrical energy. These risks posed by the device have been mitigated in the design to the extent possible in keeping with the applicable norms.
Service work may only be performed by the LAUDA Service department or a service partner authorized by LAUDA. Materials All parts that come into contact with heat transfer liquid are manufactured from high-quality materials adapted to withstand the operating temperature.
Heat transfer liquid The device is designed exclusively for non-combustible heat transfer liq- uids according to class I as per DIN 12876-1. The use of heat transfer liquids poses a risk of injury from high and low temperatures if certain upper or lower temperature thresholds are exceeded or the external application is broken and a reaction is initiated with the heat transfer liquid.

If a temperature deviation is discovered during inspection of the device with a reference thermometer, the offset value (that’s the additive part of the char- acteristic line) of the internal measurement chain can be adjusted or a 2- point calibration carried out with the menu item Calibration . The reference thermometer must, in accordance with the requirements of the calibration certificate, be incorporated into the outflow of the device.

5.10 Control 5.10.1 Control basics Definition A brief explanation of terms Actuating - Initial value of the controller to compensate for the differ- signal ence between the actual value and target value (control deviation). PID con- - The PID controller operates with extreme speed and preci- troller sion and consists of a P, I and D-component.
Page 27
If the Xp parameter selected is too large, the actual value will reach the pro- portional range early and the P-component will be less than 100 % of the actuating signal. It takes longer to reach the target value and as a result, the simultaneously integrated I-component has more time to establish its actuating signal component.
The actual value increases relatively sharply towards the specified target value. The proportional area settings seem to be correct. If the control devia- tion becomes smaller, the actual value approaches the target value much more slowly. The integration component (I-component) must compensate for the drastic reduction of the proportional component (P-component).
