Setting Temperature  Limits

Setting Temperature  Limits

If the thermoelectric or resistive heater drives the load temperature 
beyond the temperature limits, the output will shut off and the 

T LIMIT 

LED

 will fl ash.  

    Press and release the 

TEMP LIMIT Button

.  The high and low limits 

will alternate on the display three times before reverting to the 

Display 

Select Switch 

selection.  

    Rotate the 

Digi-Pot Adjust Knob

 to change the value displayed.  

    The LFI-3751 uses the lowest number as the Low Temperature LIMIT 

and the highest number as the High Temperature LIMIT.  

   The temperature limits will not be updated until the Digi-Pot stops 

moving.

    The 

T LIMIT LED

 in the Status Section lights solid red to indicate the 

limits are displayed and can be adjusted.

   The Temperature Limits are disabled when thermistors or RTDs are 

confi gured to display resistance rather than temperature.  

   

High Temp  Limit

 and 

Low Temp  Limit

 settings are saved in non-volatile 

memory.

    If you push and release the 

TEMP LIMIT Button

 or rotate the 

Display 

Select Switch

 while displaying the temperature limits, the display will 

revert to the prior 

Display Select Switch 

selection.

    If  the 

T LIMIT LED

 fl ashes and the unit beeps, the load temperature 

has exceeded one of the limits.  The output is forced off.  Press the 

Output Button

 to clear the error.  If cleared, the unit beeps three times.  

Press the 

Output Button

 again to re-enable output current.  If the error 

persists, the unit will sound a long beep.  Once the error is corrected, you 
can press the 

Output Button

 to re-enable output current.
