Delay Mode

The Delay Mode signifies that a profile is active but the time base, or profile

advancement is stopped. This is caused by automatic action of the controller

when the input temperature deviates more than a specified amount from the

profile setpoint. The Delay Mode is similar to the pause mode, except the

delay mode is invoked automatically by the controller.

The Profile Deviation Error Band programmed for a positive value, allows

the Delay Mode to be invoked only during hold phases. A negative value

allows the delay mode to be invoked during “both” ramp and hold phases. The

profile automatically resumes when the process temperature is within the

prescribed error band value. The Delay Mode is indicated by “dEly” flashing

in the profile control status display and by a flashing decimal point in the upper

main display. The Delay Mode can be terminated manually by changing the

deviation error band value to a larger value or to zero for off. The new error

band value takes effect immediately.
