How to Setup and Operate
First, connect the heater load and the sensor to the load and sensor receptacles on the front panel. Next, plug the control
line cord into an appropriate 3-wire grounded power receptacle. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. Wait five
seconds for the control unit to energize.
The control is shipped from the factory with the display reading in degrees C. If a display in degrees F is desirable, press
the
UP/DOWN
arrow keys simultaneously for three seconds to access the Setup Page. Press the
Advance
key until the
Celsius_Fahrenheit parameter [C-F] is shown in the lower display. Press the
UP
arrow key to change from C to F.
After changing the display, press the
Infinity
key to display the set point temperature and the process temperature
(temperature at the sensor).
To begin the heating process, use the
Up/Down
arrow keys to enter the desired set point temperature. This is shown in
the lower display. Auto-tuning is recommended in all applications. Auto-tuning allows the control to set the PID
parameters without those parameters being manually entered/calculated by the user. It also minimizes the amount of
temperature overshoot of the set point and decreases the time required for the process to stabilize. See page 8 for
instruction on performing the auto-tune function.
It is recommended that the auto-tune feature be used every time the process temperature set point has been changed. If
the process is being repeated, the parameters learned in the initial setup are stored in the memory of the control and the
auto-tune process is
n’t required to be repeated in most applications.
