3.2.

 

Click 

RETRIEVE

 to upload settings from the controller board. 

 

Input

  

Displays live feedback from the controller board, calculated with user settings to indicate values.  

Regulator Information

  

Displays the set point and temperature point used in the regulator control loop.  

Output 

 

Displays controlled output values to main output, fan 1 and fan 2. The unit of measure for main is in 

percent with range between -100% to +100%.  The unit of measure for fans is in volts with range 

between 0 to 60 Volts. 

 

 

5. User Tabs

 

 

 

  

There are six tabs that the user can reference to change parameters in controller and visually monitor 

parameters.  All data is saved in the setting file *.sc type.  

  

5.1 Base   

 

 

 

 

 

Base tab allows for quick setup of the regulator. Select temperature sensor, set point and enter 

description information under notes to recall settings for future reference. All data will be stored in the 

file.
