Home Page Overview

The Home Page is the default display of the Series
SD31 controller. The Home Page can be configured to
display either the process value or set point value. (see
the

{~Dsp} prompt on the Setup Page.) This parameter

determines what parameters and values are displayed.

Automatic Mode

The % indicator light is off.

Manual Mode

The % indicator light is on.

Error condition

The % indicator light is on. If the controller was in Auto mode it will
switch to Manual mode when it detects an input error.

Alarm Message

During Ramping

The display alternates between the current set point achieved in the
ramp, the actual process value and the target set point. The prompt
appears in the display first and then the value for that prompt.

To change the target set point value, press and hold the

ß

Key

and adjust the set point value using the UP

¿

or DOWN

¯

Once the current set point reaches the target set point value, the
ramp is complete and the display stops alternating.

Adjusting the control set point

The controller must be in automatic mode. Adjust the

control set point on the Home Page. It is not necessary to
enter any other page. With

[~dsp] = [~pro] (on Setup

Page), the process temperature appears in the display.
Press and hold the

ß Key to display the control set

point.

To adjust the set point:

1.

Ensure the controller is in the automatic mode and
that you are on the Home Page. If you are on any
other page, press the Infinity Key

ˆ.

2.

The process temperature is displayed in the display
window. Press and hold the

ß Key, and use the

Up Key

¿ to increase the set point or press the

Down Key

¯ to decrease the set point value.

3.

The controller will automatically begin using the
new set point after three seconds. or press the Infini-
ty Key

ˆ to immediately use the new value.

With

[~dsp] = [~set] (on Setup Page), the control set

point appears in the display, if the controller is in the au-
tomatic mode.

To adjust the set point:

1.

Ensure the controller is in the automatic mode and
that you are on the Home Page. If you are on any
other page, press the Infinity Key

ˆ.

2.

The temperature set point is displayed in the dis-
play window. Press the Up Key

¿ to increase the

temperature. Press the Down Key

¯ to decrease the

temperature.

3.

The controller will automatically begin using the
new set point after three seconds. or press the Infini-
ty Key

ˆ to immediately use the new value.

Note: The

[`lOC] parameter can lock the ability to adjust the set

point. If you are unable to adjust the set point, check

[`lOC] set-

ting on the Setup Page.

Note: To stop the Series SD31 controller from controlling to a set
point, press and hold the

ß

Key and press the DOWN

¯

Key until

the set point value displays

[`OFF]. A set point value of one less

than the SP Low value turns the control outputs off and the controller
will no longer attempt to maintain a set point.

ç

Caution:
The controller is in the manual mode when the percent LED %
is lit. If the controller is in the manual mode, the manual out-
put power value is displayed in place of the automatic mode
control set point. Setting this value can force an output to stay
on regardless of the temperature reading. Always ensure you
are in the automatic mode when adjusting the temperature
set point value.
