• 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.
