IMPORTANT 

NOTE:

 

The 

digital 

temperature  controller  for  the  unit  comes 
pre-programmed from the Koehler factory. 
Please do NOT attempt to re-program the 
digital  temperature  controller  as  this  will 
void the product  warranty.  If assistance is 
required, please do not hesitate to contact 
the Koehler technical service department. 

 

Setting  the  Temperature

.  Set  the  desired 

operating  temperature  by  adjusting  the  set 
point with the up and down keys. The set point 
will  be  displayed  in  the  lower  green  Set  Point 
LED display and the actual temperature will be 
displayed  in  the  upper  red  Process  LED 
display.  Please  allow  the  instrument  to  fully 
equilibrate before proceeding with any testing. 

 

Temperature Calibration.

  This routine allows the 

digital  temperature  controller  to  be  calibrated 
to a certified thermometer.  

 

a.  Use  a  certified  calibrated  measuring 

device  to 

acquire  the 

temperature. 

Calculate  the  difference  between  the 
measuring  device  and  the  Process  value 
displayed on the controller. 

b.  Press the program key two times until 

PCt

 

is  displayed  in  the  lower  green  LED 
display.  Press  the  DOWN  key.  CAL  will 
display on the lower green display. If there 
is  a  value  observed  in  the  upper  red  LED 
display, add  it  to the calculated difference 
obtained  in  the  previous  step.  This  is  the 
offset value. 

 

c.  Press  the  Program  Key.  The  lower  green 

display will flash. Use the up or down keys 
to  adjust  to  the  new  calibration  offset 
value  on  the  upper  red  display  calculated 
in  the  previous  step.  When  the  value  has 
been 

entered, 

the 

controller 

will 

automatically  store  the  value.  The  lower 
green  display  will  stop  flashing.  If  further 
adjustments  are  necessary,  press  the 
Program  Key  again.  Resume  regular 
operations by pressing  the Exit / Function 
key two times. Verify if the new calibration 
is  correct  by  observing  the  upper  red 
display  and  comparing  the  value  with  the 
calibrated reference device.  

 
 

Auto  Tune.

  This  routine  allows  the  digital 

temperature  control  to  learn  the  heating 

parameters needed for any particular set point 
temperature.  This  operation  should  be  done 
when  installing  a  new  unit,  after  replacing  or 
changing  the  bath  medium  type,  or  utilizing  a 
different  temperature  set  point  20%  different 
from 

the 

previously 

used 

set 

point 

temperature. 

 

a.  Set  the  operating  temperature  to  the 

desired setting. 

 
b.  Press  the  up  and  down  arrow  buttons 

simultaneously for about 5 seconds. When 
Auto  Tune  is  active,  the  lower  green  LED 
display  will  blink 

TUNE

.  Auto  Tune  will 

automatically toggle off when the set point 
temperature is reached. Auto tune can be 
terminated  by  pressing  the  up  &  down 
buttons simultaneously again.
