✔ NOTE:
If the Series F4 is already installed in an environmental
chamber, oven, furnace or other equipment, most parame-
ters will already be configured and access to the Setup
Page may be limited (locked).
✔ NOTE:
To see how all the pages, menus and parameters are
grouped, see the software map on the inside back cover of
this manual.

Overview
This chapter presents information about configur-
ing the controller software through the Setup Page.
This is where you:
• indicate what hardware the input and output
pins will be connected to;
• indicate how the inputs and outputs will func-
tion (Some of the inputs, outputs and functions
may not be visible, depending on the model
number of your controller);
• choose Celsius or Fahrenheit scales;
• make other choices about the display of infor-
mation on the Main Page and in the Upper
(LED) Display; and
• set up computer communications with the con-
troller.
Many control features are explained in greater
depth in the Features Chapter.
To reach the Setup Page from the Main Page, move
the cursor to Go to Setup, then press the Right .
Key.
Setup Guidelines
Setup Page parameters affect many areas of the
controller’s function:
• which parameters and functions are visible in
other pages;
• the way the controller responds to your applica-
tion; and
• the way information is displayed on the Main
Page.
Setting up the controller properly will provide a
sound foundation for settings in other pages.
Parameter Setup Order
Initial configuration of the Series F4 is best done in
the following order:
1. Go to the System Menu (Setup Page). Here you
will indicate:
• the current time and date;
• preference of PID units — U.S. (Reset,
Rate) or SI (Integral, Derivative);
• preference of Celsius or Fahrenheit scales;
• whether or not to display these units in the
controller’s Upper Display,
