Temperature Parameters
(contd.)
Controlled System Heating Rate
NOTE: The setting Normal generally does not need to be changed. It cannot
be changed for grid and reservoir.
There are fixed parameter sets for the first four types.
Type Suitable for
Slow* Temperature channels that heat slowly
Normal Grid, reservoir, hose, applicator
Fast ** Temperature channels that heat quickly
Very fast Air heater
Customer
defined Refer to Parameters (Screen 3) .
* To be set if heating the last 5 °C (9 °F) up to the setpoint takes too long
(possible with a very high temperature setpoint)
** To be set if the temperature swings above the setpoint during heatup
(possible with a very low temperature setpoint)

Parameters (Screen 3)
Controlled System Heating Rate: Customer defined
The PID control parameters can be selected as desired in this screen.
NOTE: Should be adjusted only by personnel with experience in metrology
and control technology.
NOTE: The I‐component can be deactivated with the value 0 .
The control band is the +/- range around the temperature setpoint. Above the
band the heater is always off, and below the band the heater is always on.
Recommended control band: 5 °C (9 °F)

parameters
For orientation purposes, the parameter set of one of the
four controlled system heating rates can be loaded. Then individual values
can be adjusted.
