Setup

NOTE:

Shaded parameters
may not appear,
depending on the
controller’s configu-
ration and model
number.

Operation Parameters

Proportional Band 1 and 2: A proportional band, expressed in degrees or % of
span, within which a proportioning function is active for Output 1 or 2. When
[`Pb1] is set to 0, the unit functions as an on-off control on Output 1 and 2.
[`Pb2] will not appear if [`Pb1] is set to 0 or [`Ot2] is not set to [`Con]. The
switching differential is determined by the

[`HSC] parameter.

Range if

[`dFL] is set to [``US]: [`Pb1]: 0 to 555°C/0 to 999°F/0 to 999 Units; 0.0

to 55.5°C/0.0 to 99.9°F/0.0 to 99.9 units,

[`Pb2]: The same as [`Pb1] except lower

limit is 1 or 0.1. Defaults:

[`Pb1] is set to 25°F/2.5°F. [`Pb2] is set to 25.

Range if

[`dFL] is set to [``SI]: 0 to 999.9% of span

Defaults:

[`Pb1] is set to 3.0% [`Pb2] is set to 3.0%

Reset /Integral 1 and 2: An integral control action for Output 1 or 2 that auto-
matically eliminates offset, or "droop," between set point and actual process tem-
perature.

[`rE1]/[`It1]: Will not appear if [`Pb1] is set to 0. [`rE2]/[`It2]:

Appears if

[`Pb1] is not set to 0 and [`Ot2] is set to [`Con]. Either reset [``rE]

or integral

[``It] will appear depending on how the [`dFL] parameter is set in

the Calibration Menu. See the Appendix.
Range if

[`dFL] is set to [``US]: 0 to 9.99 repeats/minute Default: 0.00

Range if

[`dFL] is set to [``SI]: 00.1 to 9.99 minutes per repeat Default: 0.00

Rate/Derivative 1 and 2: The rate (derivative) function for Output 1 or Output
2.
Eliminates overshoot on startup, or after the set point changes.

[`rA1]/[`dE1]:

Will not appear if

[`Pb1] is set to 0. [`rA2]/[`dE2]: Appears if [`Pb1] is not set

to 0 and

[`Ot2] is set to [`Con]. Either rate [``rA] or derivative [``dE] appears

depending on how

[`dFL] is set in the Calibration Menu.

Range if

[`dFL] is set to [``US] or [``SI]: 0 to 9.99 minutes Default: 0.0

Cycle Time 1 and 2: Time for a controller to complete one time-proportioned cycle
for Output 1 or Output 2; expressed in seconds.

[`Ct1]: Will not appear if [`Pb1]

is set to 0, or Output 1 is 4-20mA.

[`Ct2]: Will not appear if [`Pb1] is set to 0 or

[`Ot2] is not set to [`Con].

NOTE:

The upper display
will always return to
the process value
after 1 minute with-
out key strokes.

Entering the Operation Menu

The Operation Menu contains parameters that determine how the controller will con-
trol and operate. These are parameters that users may need to change from time to
time. The Operation Menu is entered by pressing the ‰Advance key. The setting of
the

[`LOC] parameter will affect the ability to access this menu.
