Flow Control

Worcester Actuation Systems

4.7 Manual Setpoint Mode

Manual Setpoint Mode is used to override the electrical setpoint
input signal and establish a new setpoint. The mode is useful in
testing the controller at various setpoints without having external
equipment generate them. When the manual setpoint is set, it
will remain in effect until disabled or changed by an operator.
The setpoint state will be preserved even if power is removed.
So if the DRC is operating with a manual setpoint and power is
removed and reapplied, it will continue to control using the
manual setpoint.

4.7.1 Entering the Manual Setpoint Mode

In the Run Mode, press either the

key or the

key

until the mode display appears.

Press ENT to edit the value. It will start blinking the
current mode.

Press either

or

until MSET is visible.

With MSET blinking, press the ENT key to change to the
Manual Setpoint Mode.

If the security code is zero, no security code is needed to
enter the mode.

Otherwise, when prompted for the security code, press
ENT.

Press

and

to enter the correct security code then

press ENT to enter the mode.

If the incorrect security code is entered, the Manual
Setpoint Mode cannot be entered.

The Manual Setpoint Mode is exited by pressing the
key to return to the Run Mode.

4.7.2 Enabling, Disabling, and Changing the Setpoint

When the mode is entered, the display will alternate
between Man Setp and the setpoint value. If the manual
setpoint is disabled, the display will show Disabled as the
value.

To disable manual setpoint, simultaneously press both the

and

keys while the display is alternating Man Setp

and the setpoint value. The display will then indicate
Disabled as a value.

To enable manual setpoint or to change the value, press
ENT while the display is alternating Man Setp and the
setpoint value. The current setpoint value will begin
blinking. Press the

and

keys to change the setpoint

to the desired value. Note that the setpoint can only be
set in the range of the lower and upper setpoint values
