Setting Recipes

Use the RECIPE menu to implement a ramping recipe. This function lets you program
the Pinnacle unit to ramp up in incremental steps (1 to 8 steps are possible). For each
step, you must set a ramp time, a setpoint, and a run timer. Ramp time is the amount of
time (in seconds) that the Pinnacle unit takes to ramp up to the setpoint for the
specified step. Run timer is the amount of time (in seconds) for which the Pinnacle
unit runs at setpoint for the specified step.
To enable this function, set the number of steps to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. To disable
this function, set the number of steps to 0.
To set the number of recipe steps:
1. Press the CONTROL soft key at the main menu.
2. Press the RECIPE soft key.
3. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select a value from 1 through 8.
4. Press ENTER; the display progresses to a series of screens through which you
enter ramp time, setpoint, and run timer for each step.
To set the ramp time, setpoint, and run timer value for each step:
