There are two modes of operation for ADAPTIVE CONTROL:
Adapt To 10 Rundowns:
The Control Target Torque is adjusted by the difference between the mean of the first
10 rundowns and the hi/lo limit mean.
Adapt To All Rundowns:
The Control Target Torque is adjusted by a percentage of the
difference between the mean of each consecutive 10 rundowns and the high/low limit mean.
This percentage is programmable through advanced user access.
ADAPTIVE CONTROL should be used only in specific situations. Please contact AcraDyne Technical
Support or your AIMCO representative for information on using and adjusting ADAPTIVE CONTROL.
