PID - Proportional Band, Integral and Derivative
PID is the means of selecting the response speed or sensitivity of a propor-
tioned controller to achieve stability in the system. It should be used when
system stability or accuracy requirements are too great for use of on/off control.
AUTO Tune
1. After selecting the PID screen the next screen to appear will be AUTO
TUNE. Refer to Figure 25. Two choices are available for this selection:

The default setting is ENABLED. Use the DOWN arrow key to select
either enabled or disabled. Press the MENU key to enter your selection.
NOTE:
When AUTO TUNE DISABLED is selected, auto tuning cannot be
