Factory default control parameters 

The parameters used in the controller have been developed by Accurate Thermal Systems to give the best unit 
performance for most applications. If the need arises the “AT” autotune command can be run to further optimize 
results based on the thermal block load and ambient conditions. Contact us for further support and details. 
 
 

Switching the display from Degrees C to Degrees F and vice versa 

 
To switch the display press and hold down the left key until the display indicates “CN-t”, next press the 2

nd

 key 

from the left one time and the top line will show “d-U” which is display units. Switch to either C or F. After setting  
this value hold down the left most key so the controller resets and accepts the new value. 

Next press the first button on the left and then the 2
