Setting PID Menu Values

• Proportional Band, Heat and Cool

[Pb`h]

and

[Pb`c]

: Select a value (degrees) to set up band on either side (±)

of the Primary Set Point in which the heat and/or cool proportioning function(s) will be active.
For on/off control, set

[Pb`h]

or

[Pb`c]

= 0.

Range: 0 to 999°F/555°C, or 0.0 to 999.0°F/555.0°C
Default: 25°F/17°C, or 25.0°F/17.0°C

Hysteresis, Heat and Cool

[hYSh]

and

[hYSc]

: For use with on/off control only. Select the value (degrees) for the

process variable change required to re-energize the control heat and/or cool output.
For ON/off control, set

[Pb`h]

or

[Pb`c]

= 0.

Range: 1 to 999°F/555°C, or 0.1 to 999.0°F/555.0°C
Default: 3°F/2°C, or 3.0°F/2.0°C

• Cycle Time,

[Ct`h]

and

[Ct`c]

: Select the value (seconds) required for the heat and/or cool output(s) to complete

a full ON through off cycle.

Range: Switched dc/Solid State Relay: 0.1 to 60.0 seconds
Default: 5.0 seconds
Range: Electromechanical Relay: 5.0 to 60.0 seconds
Default: 30.0 seconds

• Dead Band

[``db]

: Dead Band adjusts the effective cool set point above the primary set point by the Dead Band

value in degrees. This creates a band between the heating and cooling proportional bands where only integral and
derivative activity will occur. For more information on Dead Band fine tuning, go to p. 35.

Range: 0 to 999°F/555°C, or 0.0 to 999.0°F/555.0°C
Default: 0°

• Integral

[``It]

: Select a value (minutes/repeat) for the integral function. Integral is the inverse of Reset; It(value) =

1/Reset(value).

Range: 0.00 to 99.99 minutes/repeat
Default: 5.00 minutes/repeat

• Derivative

[``dE]

: Select a value (minutes) for the derivative function.

Range: 0.00 to 9.99 minutes
Default: 0.00 minutes

• Calibration Offset

[`CAL]

: Eliminates the difference between the displayed process temperature and the actual

process temperature value.

Range: -999 to 9999°F/C, or -99.9 to 999.9F/C
Default: 0°
