Every time the control panel is powered up, the programmed probe type will briefly flash on the display in the green section. Factory Default for the Red
Lions is [tC-J]. This needs to be set to [r385] in order to show accurate temperatures for the 3-wire PT100 temperature probes supplied with your equipment.
To change the parameter ‘TYPE’, Hold down the ‘P’ key until the display shows either [CNFP/NO] or [TUNE/NO], if [CNFP/NO] displays first then skip to the next
step.
If [TUNE/NO] shows up first, we need to navigate to [CNFP] by pressing the ‘P’ key several times.
Once the display alternates between [CNFP] and [NO], press the ‘UP’ arrow once to show [1-1N].
Press the ‘P’ key to enter this programming loop.
[TYPE] is the first parameter within the 1-1N loop.
Use the ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ arrows to find [r-385].
Once [r-385] is displayed, press the ‘P’ key to save this setting, the display will progress to the next parameter within the 1-1N loop.
Press the ‘D’ key to exit the programming loops, the controller will briefly display [END] to show it is exiting controller configuration mode.
CHECKING PROBE TYPE AND CHANGING PROBE TYPE
If your Red Lion controller’s Control Mode (CtrL) is set to PID (heaters are pulsing On/Off) and you have a 3.5BBL System or larger, the Control Mode will need
to be changed to On/Off. The factory default for this parameter is PID.
To change the parameter ‘CtrL’, hold down the ‘P’ key until the display shows either [CNFP/NO] or [TUNE/NO], if [CNFP/NO] displays first then skip to the next
step.
If [TUNE/NO] shows up first, we need to navigate to [CNFP] by pressing the ‘P’ key several times.
Once the display alternates between [CNFP] and [NO], press the ‘UP’ arrow twice to show [2-OP].
Press the ‘P’ key to enter this programming loop.
[CtrL] is the second parameter within the 2-OP loop, press ‘P’ once to navigate from [OPAC] to [CtrL].
Once [CtrL] is displaying on the controller, use the ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ arrows to find [On/Of].
After you’ve found [On/Of] on the display, press the ‘P’ key to save, the display will progress to the next parameter within the loop.
Press the ‘D’ key to exit the programming loops, the controller will briefly display [END] to show it is exiting controller configuration mode.
CHANGING CONTROL ACTION TO/FROM PID OR ON/OFF
If your temperature is consistently showing off by a specific value as compared to a recently calibrated/trusted temperature probe, a correction can be made
on the Red Lion controller to compensate. This is the parameter ‘SHFt’ within the 1-1N programming loop.
This is best done by temporarily removing the probe from the vessel and making an ice water bath. The value the probe is above/below 0*C or 32*F is the
value that should be used in the ‘SHFt’ parameter.
To compensate the displayed temperature either higher or lower, Hold down the ‘P’ key until the display shows either [CNFP/NO] or [TUNE/NO], if [CNFP/NO]
displays first then skip to the next step
If [TUNE/NO] shows up first, we need to navigate to [CNFP] by pressing the ‘P’ key several times.
Once the display alternates between [CNFP] and [NO], press the ‘UP’ arrow once to show [1-1N].
Press the ‘P’ key to enter the ‘1-1N’ loop.
Press the ‘P’ key several more times to find [SHFt].
Use the ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ keys to change the value above/below 0 (this is the offset/compensation in degrees). This value can either be + or – from 0.
Once desired value is entered for compensation, press the ‘P’ key to save.
-Press the ‘D’ key to exit the programming loops (display will show [END]).
