• the guaranteed soak band for each channel;
• open-loop detection warnings on or off; and
• profile-power outage actions.

2. Go the Setup Page and define all inputs, out-

puts and alarms:

• Analog Input x (1 to 3);
• Digital Input x (1 to 4);
• Control Output x (1A, 1B, 2A or 2B);
• Alarm Output x (1 or 2);
• Retransmit Output x (1 or 2);
• Digital Output x (1 to 8); and
• Communications

3. Go to the Operations Page and tune or set the

PID sets.

4. Go to the Operations Page and set the alarm

set points.

5. Go to the Profiles Page to program the profiles.

After the initial configuration of the controller, the

most frequent changes will be to profiles, alarm set

points and PID sets. The Setup Page is likely to be

the least frequently accessed for changes. Some

manufacturers may prefer to lock out this page to

prevent user access.
Changing parameters may change other parame-

ters. For example, changing the type of units (tem-

perature, relative humidity, etc.) will affect settings

that assume either Reset or Rate and Integral or

Derivative. Changing from the Celsius to the

Fahrenheit scale will affect every parameter with a

numerical value in one or the other scale. In some

cases, a change in one parameter will affect the de-

faults of others.

NOTE:
Changes to some parameters will affect other parameters.

Customizing the Main Page

Up to 16 lines can be added to the Main Page to

display status and information from the controller.
Go to the Setup Main Page menu on the Setup

Page. The first screen will prompt you to choose

one of the 16 lines to customize. "P1 Parameter" is

the first line; "P16 Parameter" is the 16th. After

choosing this line by pressing . , select a parame-

ter to monitor. Your choices are:

* When a digital input or output is active, its number will
appear in the Main Page display; when it is inactive, its
position will be underlined.
When a Wait for condition is still pending, its number
will appear in the Main Page display; when it is no
longer being awaited, it will be underlined.
