Setup and Programming
There is
no need to recalibrate
the controller
when first received from the factory.
The controller is
factory calibrated
for all
input types prior to shipment on calibration
equipment that is certified to NIST standards.
Overview
There are no jumpers to set for the controller input
selection.
Setup and programming are done using SuperNova
software or through the front panel buttons.
After power and input signal connections have been
completed and verified, apply power to the controller.
Setting Up the Controller
The Programming Menu is organized into various
Groups. These Groups contain individual parameters
to configure the functions of the controller.
It is recommended to
begin programming by
configuring the Input Group (G.IN)
. Changing
certain input parameters will reset most other
setup parameters.
Configure the Input Group first. It is then
recommended that you proceed to the Output Group,
Setup Group, and continue in order, ending with the
Set Value Group to enter a control set point. Finally,
for most applications, initial auto-tuning in the Control
Group.
