- Page 6 Loss of power or turn-off during warm-up requires a re-start from ambient. Change of state processes, i.e. solid to liquid or liquid to gas, may introduce erroneous tuning parameters during process warm-up. GENERAL 1. Accurately measures, linearizes and displays temperature in °F and °C.
- Page 8 Output Modules The Athena 6050 offers users field interchangeable output modules. This unique feature makes it possible to fill output requirements for a variety of applications with a single controller model. Module Type B: This 7A/5A relay (at 120/240 Vac) is used for driving resistive heaters.
- Page 9 INTERNAL SWITCHES Damping Control -To allow the controller to provide automatic tuning for processes with varying heating characteristics and with varying heating capabilities, the 6050 offers three damping choices: High damping: for over-powered heating systems, systems with multiple heat lags, and/or poor coupling between the heater and the temperature sensor.
- Page 10 THERMOCOUPLE PLACEMENT Proper thermocouple placement can eliminate many problems in the system. The probe should be placed so that it can detect any temperature change with minimal thermal lag. In a process that requires fairly constant heat output, the probe should be placed close to the heater.
- Page 11 Upon completion of tuning, the "AT" L.E.D. will be off. NOTE: The parameters that the 6050 calculates automatically can be entered on the Athena 6000/6200 to achieve the same smooth and precise temperature control on your process.
- Page 12 The new parameters will now take control of the process. To calculate the PID parameters without using the automatic tuning mode, consult the Athena 6000/6200 instruction manual. Reading automatically calculated PID parameters Press the "index" key. The LED‘s in the "Index" display will light in sequence, and as they change, the lower digital display will show each parameter.
- Page 13 TROUBLE SHOOTING Front dark - no instrument power. Process display shows CCCC - Open thermcouple. Short terminals 1 and 2. Process display should indicate temperature at back of case. Repair or replace thermocouple. About Half or Twice Expected Reading - Check position of °C/°F switch.
