Before Entering Your Program

Before we begin to program your Series 920, there are a few other initial SETUP

parameters to enter. Verify that DIP switch #7 is OFF. If you have not tried any
programming since your cold start, the C/F/U (Celsius/Fahrenheit/Units) and GS

(Guaranteed Soak) parameters are set to their appropriate values. Refer to the glos-
sary for a more detailed definition. If you have already tried stepping through the
parameters and entering values, it might be a good idea to go back and double check

to see that the values are correct.

Continue through the SPCLFUNC menu

until you see GS

(Guaranteed Soak).

Enter a value of (0); press ENTER. This parameter has a default of 0.

Press the MODE key to move to the RETURN parameter. Press ENTER to return

Good job! You have completed the initial setup, and are ready to program the 920.

Our first step in programming will be to make a short ramp and soak program. Step 1

initializes the set point to a known starting point for the ramp, Step 2 is a short ramp,
Step 3 is a soak step, which holds the programmed set point constant for the pro-

grammed time. Step 4 will be a STOP step which signals the end of a file.

From the SYSTEM menu, press MODE until you see the PROGRAM menu.
Press ENTER.

The Series 920 asks you for a FILE?. Your 920 should already say (I), but if you

have entered any values, it may be different. Make sure it says (1). Press ENTER.

Press the MODE key and you are asked for a STEP. ENTER (1) if it is not already

there.

NOTE:

When either the

hours or minutes are

entered, internal

seconds are set to 0.

NOTE:

DIP switch #7 must
be OFF to access all

SPCLFUNC parame-

ters.
