Tuning

This controller incorporates a self-tuning feature which
determines the optimum control parameters for the best
temperature accuracy with your load and setpoint. Use
this feature the first time you use your furnace and each
time you change either your setpoint or the type of load
you are heating. It is recommended you use this feature
to provide the best temperature accuracy the controller
can attain. To use the tuning feature:

1.

Adjust the setpoint to your desired value.

2.

Press the PAGE button until display reads,
“Atun.”

3.

Press the SCROLL button. Display will read,
“tunE.”

4.

Press the UP or DOWN button to select, “on.”

5.

Simultaneously press the PAGE and SCROLL
buttons to return to the HOME DISPLAY. The
display will alternately flash between “tunE” and
the HOME DISPLAY while tuning is in
progress.

6.

The controller will then turn the heating on and
off to induce an oscillation. When the measured
value reaches the required setpoint the first
cycle will end.

7.

Tuning will be complete after two oscillation
cycles and then the tuner will turn itself off.

8.

Normal control function will resume after the
controller calculates tuning parameters

.

Note

Furnace must be at ambient 
temperature before starting a tune.

Note

Tune has completed when “tunE”
stops flashing on display.
