DESCRIPTION
Generates a fire rate based on the error that exists between
the setpoint temperature and the actual outlet temperature.
If the actual error is less than the proportional band setting
(1°F to 120°F, 0.55°C to 66°C), the fire rate will be less than
100%. If the error is equal to or greater than the
proportional band setting, the fire rate will be 100%.
This sets the fraction of the output, due to setpoint error, to
add or subtract from the output each minute to move
towards the setpoint. Gain is adjustable from 0.00 to 1.00
(Default is 1.0).
This value (0.0 to 2.0 min.) responds to the rate of change
of the setpoint error. This is the time that this action
advances the output.
Range = 1 – 120°F (0.55°C to
66°C)
Range = 0.00 – 2.00
Range = 0 - 240 seconds
Allows Tuning menu options to be reset to their Factory
