Parameter Description 

(c)

P04) 

Select degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

P05) T/C Type

 - Select thermocouple types J or K.

P06) Over-temp. Alarm Limit 

- Alarm when process temp. is over setpoint value as set 

in parameter.

P07) Under-temp. Alarm Limit 

 - Alarm when process temp. is under setpoint value as 

set in parameter.

P08) T/C Pinched

 - Time, in seconds, that the controller will take to detect a pinched or 

shorted thermocouple. (There is current, no rise in temperature)

P09) Open TRIAC/Heater 

- Time, in seconds, that the controller will take to detect an 

open TRIAC, open heater, or open wire. (No current and no rise in temperature)

P10) APO Enable

 - In the event of a T/C break and the controller is at set point, the 

controller uses the last average output power (APO) to maintain temperature. (Automatic 
Bumpless Transfer). T/C must be repaired as soon as possible.

P11) Boost Time setting

 - Time (in seconds) desired for boost mode.

P12) Auto Mode Boost Temp.

 - Boost temperature over setpoint. (Boost temp. + set-

point)

P13) Manual Mode Boost Power

 - Manual percentage power output during boost mode 

for a set time (P15).

P14) Manual Mode Standby Power

 - Manual percentage power output during standby 

mode.

P15) Auto Mode Standby temp.

 - Standby/idle setpoint value.

P16) Soft-Start Time

 - Time duration, in minutes, that the controller is in Soft-Start. 

(Bake Out)

P17) Soft-Start Lock

 - Prevents users from changing mode while in soft-start.

P18) Audible Alarm Enable/Disable

 - controller audible alarm.

P19) Keypad Lock

 - 

YES:

 Disables all keys, except for the *PMTR* key, to prevent 

unwanted changes. 

NO:

 All keys enabled.

P20) Frequency

 - AC line frequency (Display only).

P21) Tuning Stabilization

 - Adjustment for heaters with lagging thermocouple or low 

mass (quick heat dissipation heaters). If there is fl uctuation of temperature, adjust higher 
(recommended maximum of 75).
