Display Action Response
Press MENU
Press ENTER
1) Press MENU, if necessary, until "out" display appears.
2) Display advances to "Self" submenu.
SELF SUBMENU:
The Self option allows the output of the controller to be controlled manually from the front panel.
Press MAX
Press ENTER
3) Display flashes the current setting of Self, enabled or disabled.
4) Press the MAX button to select between Enable and Disable.
5) If Self enable was selected, Output 1 setting is completed and the display advances to the next menu.
6) Display advances to the ôMinimum/Percent Lowö submenu, if self is disabled.
NOTE: The output is now under the direct control of the operator and can be adjusted in the run mode, by pressing the MAX and MIN buttons. The control value (0 - 99), now display in the SV window indicate, approximately in percent, the output. For example, a setting of 0050 of an analog output of 0~10Vdc would produce roughly 5Vdc at the output. Also, to insure smooth transition when switching to self mode, the proportional control output is left in its last value, when self mode is activated for the first time.

MINIMUM/PERCENT LOW SUBMENU
Specify in percent, the minimum value (0000) for control output. If the output is analog, then the minimum voltage or current, in percent, is specified. If the output is time proportional, then the minimum duty-cycle, in percent, is specified
Press MIN/MAX
Press ENTER
7) Display shows ôLOö, and flashes the 10s digit of the current ôPercent Lowö setting.
8) Use MAX & MIN buttons to enter a new value for ôPercent Lowö.
9) Press ENTER to store the current setting and to advance to Maximum/Percent High.

MAXIMUM/PERCENT HIGH SUBMENU:
Specify in percent, the maximum value ( 0099 ) for control output. If the output is analog, then the maximum voltage or current, in percent, is specified. If the output is time proportional, then the maximum duty-cycle, in percent, is specified.
Press MIN/MAX
Press ENTER
10) Display show "HI" and flashes the 10s digit of the current Percent Low setting.
11) Use MAX & MIN buttons to enter a new value for Percent Low.
12) Press ENTER to store the current setting and to advance to *Control Type submenu.
Example: On an analog output of 0~10Vdc, a setting of %LO = 10 and %HI = 90, cause the minimum on the control output to be 1V and the maximum on the control output to 9V. The same setting on a time proportional output, will cause 10% duty cycle for the minimum control output and 90% duty cycle for maximum control output. To disable %LO/HI, set LO to 00 and HI to 99. If %LO/HI is at other values than the default (%LO=00, %HI=99), ôsoakö is disabled.
Press ENTER
Press MAX
*CONTROL TYPE SUBMENU: (Relay, SSR or Pulse Option)
13) Display flashes "on. oF" or "PId".
14) Scroll through the available selections: ON/OFF or PID. If ON/OFF is selected proceed to section Ramp & Soak
Press ENTER 15) Display flashes "strd" message and advances to "Action Type" submenu.
Note: The ON/OFF control is a coarse way of controlling the process. The "Dead Band" improves the cycling associated with the On/Off control. The PID control is best for processes where the set point is continuously changing and/or a tight control of the process variable is required. PID control requires tuning and adjustment of the "Proportional", "Integral or Reset" and "Derivative or Rate" terms by a trial-and-error method. The Controller provides an "Auto Tuning" feature making the tuning process automatic, possibly optimum.

*If Current/Voltage is your analog control output 1, this menu i.e. ctrL type will not appear, instead 4-20 / Curr or 0-20/Curr will be displayed. Select "Enbl" for a 4-20mA output or "dsbl" for a 0-20 mA output. If 4-20mA is enabled, %HI/LO setting will have no effect.
NOTE: Both Current and Voltage control outputs are active simultaneously.
Press MAX
Press ENTER
ACTION TYPE SUBMENU:
16) Display flashes "drct" or "rvrs".
17) Scroll through the available selections: Direct or Reverse.
18) Display flashes "strd" message and advances to "Auto PID" submenu.
If "ON/OFF" was selected in the Control Type, the display skips to the "Dead Band" submenu.
Note: The error that results from the measurement of the process variable may be positive or negative since it may be greater or smaller than the set point. If a positive error should cause the controller output to increase (i.e. cooling), it would be called Direct Acting. If a negative error should cause the output to decrease (i.e. heating), it would be called Reverse Acting.
Press ENTER
Press MAX
Press ENTER
AUTO TUNE PID SUBMENU:
19) Display flashes "enbl" or "dsbl".
20) Scroll through the available selections: Enable or Disable.
21) Display flashes "stored" message and advances to "Adaptive Control" submenu.
If "Enabled", the controller can determine, by enabling Start PID, the optimum values for the three adjustments ù Proportional, Reset and Rate corresponding to P, I, and D. These values may be changed once the auto tuning is complete. If "Disabled" is selected, the user will manually enter these three adjustment values. If you want the controller to do the auto PID and the P , PI or PID , first select auto disable and enter 0000 for unwanted parameter. e.q. for PI enter 0000 for the rate.
Press ENTER
Press MAX
Press ENTER
*ADAPTIVE CONTROL SUBMENU: *(NOT INSTALLED YET)
22) Display flashes "Enbl" or "dSbl".
23) Scroll through the available selections: Enable or Disable.
24) Display flashes "stored" message and advances to "Anti Integral" submenu.
If "Enabled", the Adaptive Tuning dynamically changes and updates the P, I, and D parameters for optimum control. The adaptive tuning is useful when the load continuously changes thereby requiring new values for P, I, and D.
Press ENTER
Press MAX
Press ENTER
ANTI INTEGRAL SUBMENU:
25) Display flashes " enbl" or "dsbl".
26) Scroll through the available selections: Enable or Disable.
27) Display flashes "stored" message and advances to "Proportional Band" submenu if auto PID was disabled, otherwise it will go to "Start PID"
.
If "Enabled", this feature allows the error term outside the proportional band to be calculated and accumulated for integration. This may be an important feature in applications where fast response time is desirable.
Press ENTER
Press MAX
Press ENTER
START AUTO PID:
28) Display flashes "enbl" or "dsbl".
29) Scroll through the available selections: Enable or Disable.
30) Display flashes "strd" message and advances to the cycle Time submenu.
If "Enabled", the controller is ready to calculate P, PI or PID parameters. The set points must be at least 20░F or 11░C above the (PV) process value in order to perform autotune, otherwise an error message will be displayed.
Note:To start auto PlD select PID, enable Auto PID and enable Start PID. Sometimes Auto PID parameter needs fine tuning i.e. for each 5░F over shoot increase the Proportional Band (PB) by 15% and for each ▒1░F fluctuation at the Set Point (SP) increase reset by 20%.
Once started, do not perform any operations or settings before first stopping auto-tune. Any alarms or other output is disabled during auto-tune.

If "AUTO TUNE PID" was "DISABLED", the display will show the following three submenus so the user may manually enter values for Proportional, Reset and Rate terms corresponding to P, I, and D. It also can be used for auto PID for disabling unwanted parameter e. g. PI enter 0000 for rate:
