RDK-150-DC Supplementary Instruction Manual
Version 1.2 (May, 2015)
WARNING
The default set temperature on RDK-150-DC is 500 ° F. The controller will
start to heat the coil immediately after it is power up; so please make sure
the coil is placed in a secure place before power up.
Disconnect the coil from the controller before you change any of the
parameter that is locked with pass code. Failure to do so may result in
coil heater damage from overheating.
The coil heater should NOT be heated above 1000 ° F. Build-in alarm is
preset to 1000 ° F.
When controller is turned off, the coil will stay at very high temperature for at
least 20 minutes. The heated coil is very dangerous: it will cause severe
burn if touched.

Introduction
This is a supplementary manual for the RDK-150-DC hot runner coil heater.
Only the advanced parameter settings will be covered in this manual. Please
check the main instruction manual for a quick guide. Advanced parameters are
divided into groups and can be accessed by entering a special access code.

Note 1. Set Temperature.
There are two ways to set the target temperature.
a. During the normal operation mode, press Λ or V once to switch the
display from process value (PV) to set value (SV, or target temperature).
The display will start to blink. Press Λ or V again to increase or decrease
the SV. When finished, wait 8 seconds and the settings will take effect
automatically (the display will stop blinking).
b. Press SET key once. Use >, Λ and V keys to enter code 0001. Press
SET key to confirm, then the display would be SV (Su). Press SET key
again to display the SV setting. Use >, Λ and V keys to enter the new SV
value and press SET to confirm. Press V key to change the display to
END. Then, press SET to exit. You can also ignore the steps after
confirmation of SV. The controller will return to normal operation mode
automatically if no key is pressed for 1 minute. The flow chart below
shows how to set the SV and alarms in details.

Note 2. Set alarm
The controller offers two alarms that can be set to turn on the buzzer at
specific temperatures. The first alarm is controlled by parameters AH1
and AL1. The initial setting will turn on the buzzer at 1000°F and off
when temperature drops below 999°F. The second alarm is controlled by
parameters AH2 and AL2. The second alarm is initially deactivated.
AH1 and AH2 are the temperatures to turn buzzer on; AL1 and AL2 are
the temperatures to turn buzzer off. When AH1(2) >AL1(2), the alarm is
set for absolute high alarm as shown in Figure 2 below. When AH1(2)
<AL1(2), the alarm is set for absolute low alarm as shown in Figure 3
below. When AH1(2)=AL1(2), the alarm is deactivated.
Example, if AH1=250, AL1=249, when the temperature goes up to
250°F, the buzzer will be on; when the temperature drops down to
249°F, the buzzer will be off.
User can press the shift key (>) to temporarily mute the buzzer sound.
The alarm will buzz again if the alarm set temperature is reached again.
To permanently deactivate the alarm, set AH1=AL1 or AH2=AL2. Please
see flow chart in Figure 1 on how to set the value.
