Program Hold with Holdback
If a holdback value has been set and the program goes into a hold state, the green HLD
indicator will flash until the measured temperature catches up.
While in this condition, the program itself is put into hold by pressing the RUN/HLD
button, the 'HLD' indicator will stop flashing and remain on with the 'RUN' indicator.
When the program is started again by pressing the RUN/HLD button, the 'HLD' indicator
will flash again if the measured temperature has not caught up with the program.
Programming note: For P10 and P25 models, other programs can be created or
changed whilst the current program is operating.

Power Failure Recovery
If there is a power interruption to the controller during a program, when power is
restored the controller pauses the program, then ramps the temperature back up to
the current program setpoint (PSP) before continuing the program.
• Power failure during ramp segments: The ramp rate will be that of the current ramp
segment.
• Power failure during dwell segments: The ramp rate will be that of the previous ramp
segment. If a previous ramp segment does not exist, then the dwell will continue at the
current measured temperature.
• Power failure during time-to-target segments: The ramp rate will be that of the
current segment. The ramp rate is maintained, but the time remaining is recalculated.
If there is a power interruption while controlling to setpoint, when power is restored the
controller automatically calls for maximum power.

Alarms
Alarms are used to alert the operator when a pre-set level has been exceeded or a
function error has occurred such as a sensor break. They are indicated by a flashing red
