4. RAMP TO SOAK FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS
This function makes the process temperature rise gradually from the starting point (present PV) to the temperature value
set in “
SP
SP
SP
SP
“ (Ramp).
The user defines the rate of rise in degrees per minute at the “
rAtE
rAtE
rAtE
rAtE
” prompt.
When SP is reached the temperature is leveled at this point for 1 to 9999 minutes as programmed at the “
t SP
t SP
t SP

” prompt.
Setting

(zero) at “

” prompt. To disable the soak function set

” prompt (thus
making a 1 minute soak) and the control output will go off in 1 minute. To restart control set 1 at the “

” prompt.
After a power failure the controller will resume ramp to soak execution at the equivalent previous ramp point. If the proces
temperature is the same as the SP (no temperature drop) the controller will repeat the soak segment.

5. PROBLEMS WITH THE CONTROLLER
Connection and configuration errors state for most of the problems in using the controller. A final revision of parameters will
save time and further losses.
Error messages are displayed to help the user to identify possible problems.
:
Process temperature is below the selected sensor range.
:
Process temperature is above the selected sensor range
:
Controller or sensor error. Example:
•
Broken thermocouple or Pt100.
•
Pt100 badly connected, short-circuited or high cable resistance.
5.1 ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER VISUALIZATION
To read the 8-digit serial number go to the Operation Level and press the
key for 3 seconds. The display will show the
first 4 digits. Keep the
key pressed for 3 seconds and the display will show the last 4 digits.

LAST 4 DIGITS
When powering the unit the display will show the software version for a few seconds.
6. ALARM
FUNCTIONS
Low and high alarms are used to signal minimum and maximum temperature values as programmed in the “
SPA1

” ande
“
SPA2

” prompts.
Differential alarms are used to indicate deviations from the desired setpoint (
SP
) temperature. These deviations are
programmed at the “
SPA1

” and “
SPA2
SPA2

” prompts.
Error alarm shows sensor defects or not properly connected.
Alarm hysteresis is fixed and factory set as described below:
•
Pt100:
1.1ºC
•
Thermocouples: type J: 1.3ºC; types K and S: 2.3ºC
Table 2 shows each alarm function operation with their respective code. Alarm 1 is used as an example.
