PID Controller Parameters

If the factory default PID settings do not adequately stabilize the system, you can 

manually adjust the PID parameters. WPI doesn’t recommend changing these 

parameters manually unless you are familiar with the functions of each PID parameter. 

Setting PID Parameters

1.  Press the 

PID

 button to display the PID screen. The two arrows on the screen 

indicate which digit is being adjusted.

 

Fig. 22—The PID screen shows you the proportional, integral and derivative values

2.  Press the 

Config

 button to select the P line to modify the proportional value, I 

line to modify the integral value or the D line to modify the derivative value.

3.  Press the 

PID

 button to select the digit to modify. Each time you press the 

PID

 

button, the top arrow moves one space to the left.

4.  Press the 

Up

 or 

Down

 button to change the value.

5.  When you are finished adjusting the PID values, press the 

Display

 button to save 

them and return to the home page screen.

Resetting Factory Defaults

To reset all the configuration parameters to the factory defaults, turn the unit off. 

Then, hold down both the 

Up

 and 

Down

 buttons while you turn the unit on again.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Heating Plate

CAUTION

: Do not immerse in liquids. Do not autoclave. 

Do not use acids or strong bases.

Clean the heating plate with mild soap and water and rinse with water. Be careful to 

keep water away from the cord, especially where the cord connects with the heating 

plate. If desired, use enzymatic cleaners to wash the heating plate. Sterilize with 

alcohol, if needed.

Cleaning Rectal Probe Tip

CAUTION

: Do not immerse the entire probe in liquids. 

Do not autoclave. 

Do not use acids or strong bases.

To clean the tip of the rectal probe, use an enzymatic detergent like Enzol (WPI #

7363-

4

). Soak 

the tip

 of the probe in Cidex Plus (WI #

7364

) for 20-45 minutes to disinfect it.
