5-3 Starting the Temperature Control Unit

; Turn on the water supply, apply main power to unit, press

ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

; The unit automatically executes a one-minute venting sequence

to expel air trapped in the process piping. We recommend a
longer venting sequence on larger process systems. Press and
hold the

VENT

button to force the cooling/vent valve open and

eliminate air trapped in the process piping in larger process
systems.

The controller is

OFF

and the

Vent Cycle

indicator is lighted

during the vent sequence.

; Set the microprocessor controller to the process temperature

you want by pressing the

Up Arrow

button or the

Down Arrow

button on the front of the controller.

; Allow your process to reach the set point temperature, then

auto-tune the control by pressing the

AT

key. See Section 4-10

on Page 36 for more information.

; Watch the drain for any bubbles or erratic flow, which

indicates if the system has been properly vented. If the stream
is steady, the unit was properly vented and all air is out of the
system.

; Operate the unit, checking for anything unusual that could

indicate improper operation.

Note:

You can stop your temperature control unit at any time by pressing the

STOP

button.
