Basic Operation Procedures
The BTC15 temperature controller is ready to run from factory
settings.
Basic Operation:
Turn power on by pressing the *POWER* button.
SOFT START mode:
The controller will start in SOFT START
mode if the process value is below
212° F or 100° C. After the
SOFT START duration time (parameter P16), the controller will go into
AUTO mode (factory default).
Note*
: MODE changes cannot be made during SOFT START mode
unless the lock is disabled in parameter (P17).
SETPOINT CHANGE:
To change the setpoint value, use the *UP* and
*DOWN* keys to select the desired temperature then press *ENTER*.
The minimum and maximum values for temperature and setpoint are
32° - 999° Fahrenheit (5° - 650° Celsius).
Mode:
There are 4 running modes available: manual (open loop), automatic
(closed loop), standby (idle), and boost. A solid lit LED indicates the
mode the controller is in.
To change mode:
Press the *MODE SELECT* key until the blinking LED is over the
desired mode, then press the *ENTER* key. A solid lit LED will indicate
the current running mode.
Note*
: To exit the mode function with no changes, press the *MODE
SELECT* then the *UP* or *DOWN* key.
Siren will momentarily sound when status changes occur (e.g. when
BOOST is enabled).
ENTER must be pressed after any adjustment (such as setpoint,
parameter, or mode) is made to store new information.
