• Minimum speed (LO R)
The minimum adjustable value: 1000 rpm
• Fluid type (FLUI)
The chosen fluid (No.) of the temperature setting is lim-
ited. See Section “Fluid”.
• Temperature control type (AUTO)
AUTO 1:
AUTO 1 is the default setting. The optimum settings are
determined automatically.

The proportional coefficient Kp is the controller ampli-
fication and determines how strongly the control devia-
tion (the difference between the target temperature and
actual temperature) directly affects the control variable
(on-time of the heater). Kp values that are too large can
lead to the controller overshooting.
The integral time Ti (s) is the correction time and deter-
mines how strongly the duration of the control devia-
tion affects the control variable. Ti compensates an ex-
isting control deviation. A high Ti means a smaller and
slower effect on the control variable. Ti values that are
too small can lead to instability of the controller.
The differential time Td (s) is the derivative time and de-
termines how strongly the rate of change of the control
deviation affects the control variable. Td compensates
for rapid control deviations. A high Td means a smaller
and slower effect on the control variable. Td values that
are too small can lead to instability of the controller.
AUTO 0:
For special requirements, AUTO 0 can be used with
manual adjustment of the control parameters.
If the PID control (AUTO 0) option is selected, the fol-
lowing items including Kp 1, Ti 1 and Td 1 could be
set. Otherwise they are not displayed in the menu list.
Note: Inappropriate settings may produce the follow-
ing heat-up curves:
Kp too high
Ti too low
Td too high
Kp too low
Ti too high
