Overview
✔ NOTE:
Make sure your controller inputs are properly
configured before entering profiles. Analog Input
setup changes may delete profiles.
✔ NOTE:
For more information about how parameter settings affect
the controller’s operation, see the Features Chapter.
✔ NOTE:
If your Series F4 is a single-channel controller, you will
see only the temperature on Channel 1 of the embedded
profile. This is not the true Military Standard Test 810D.
This chapter explains how to program a ramp-and-
soak profile so that it will be stored in the Series
F4 memory.
• The first section explains profiles, steps and
step types.
• The second section explains how to name and
program a ramping profile. The Series F4 pre-
sents a sequence of questions that prompt you
to define the steps and the step properties.
While reading this section, refer to the profile
already embedded in the Series F4 software.
You can use this profile, Military Standard Test
810 (MILSTD 810D), as a template and learn-
ing tool.
• The third section explains how to edit and
delete an existing profile. In the Series F4, you
choose from a list of the steps and their param-
eters, much like in previous controllers.
• You will also find a User Profile Record to use
to record the steps and parameters for your
profiles.
If you receive this controller as a separate unit, you
will have to install, wire and configure the Series
F4 before you set up a ramping profile.
If you receive this controller already installed in an
environmental chamber, furnace or other equip-
ment, continue with this chapter. You will not have
to configure the controller if the manufacturer has
done this for you. You should check the Setup Page
in the controller software for settings of relevant
inputs and outputs.
