Quick Start Guide
4.4.1
Operation as a simple controller
When switched on, the controller goes through a short test routine and then shows the
measured temperature (PV = Process Value) in the upper part of the display and below
it, the desired temperature (Setpoint).
4.4.2
Changing the Setpoint
Press Up
or Down
to select the required SP. If the SP is higher than the measured
temperature, the OP1 indicator will illuminate in the top left corner of the display,
indicating that the controller is calling for power (giving an output).
The controller will immediately attempt to reach the setpoint and then maintain it.
This will cause the product to heat as quickly as possible which may not be appropriate
where the product contains sensitive ceramic components. For products with ceramic
components, e.g. a tube furnaces fitted with a long ceramic work tube, use the ramp
rate feature set with a low heating rate such as 5°C per minute (300°C per hour), to
prevent damage.
4.4.3
Using the Controller
The parameters in the controller are first shown by a short code (mnemonic). After 5
Seconds a description of the parameter will scroll once along the display and then revert
back to the mnemonic. The scrolling text can be interrupted at any time by a single
press of any of the buttons, but will not scroll again until the parameter is returned to.
