HEATING
The controller can control up to 8 independent heat-
ing outputs. Each heating output operates accord-
ing to its start and stop temperature. Refer to sec-
tion 4.5 to enable heating outputs.
Reference Temperature:
Start/stop temperatures are related to the set point.
This means that they are automatically adjusted
when the set point changes.
Heaters 1-4
:
The controller has 4 basic heating outputs.
Heaters’ Hi Fire:
In addition to its 4 basic heating
outputs, the controller can simulate additional heat-
ing outputs with the Hi Fire option. When this op-
tion is used, the controller doubles the number of
heating outputs in use. Each simulated heating out-
put (Hi Fire Step) operates as a regular heating out-
put, with its own start/stop temperatures, relay
selection and probe selection. Refer to section 4.5
to activate the heaters’ Hi fire option.

Set the following parameters:
On temperature
Set the temperature below which each heat-
ing stage starts. If the Hi/Lo fire option is
used, set this temperature separately for
both steps of the heating stage.
Off temperature
Set the temperature at which each heating
stage stops. Note that the
Off Temperature
of an heating stage must be at least 0.5°F
(0.3°C) higher that its
On Temperature.
If
the Hi/Lo fire option is used, set this tem-
perature separately for both steps of the
heating stage.

4.11 Test Mode
The test mode is used to simulate temperature
changes and to verify the controller’s performances.
When the test is enabled, all outputs of the con-
troller operate according to the simulated tempera-
ture.

First, set the simulated temperature to the
desired value then set the test mode status
to “On” to start the test.
The test automatically ends after
15 minutes of inactivity. It can also
end sooner by switching the test mode
status back to “Off”.
