PROGRAM LEVEL
Ptol
Program
Tolerance
Maximum admitted deviation of PV with respect to SP.
If exceeded, the program execution is suspended (the
internal timer freezes) until the deviation be returns
back within the defined tolerance.
The value 0 (zero) disables the function.
Psp0
Psp9
Program SP
Program SP’s, 0 to 9: Group of 10 values of SP that
define the Ramp and Soak profile segments.
Pt1
Pt9
Program Time
Time intervals of the program segments. It defines
the duration in minutes, of each of the 9 program
segments. Configurable between 0 and 9999
minutes.
Pe1
Pe9
Program
event
Program Segment Alarm (Event Alarm). Parameters
that define the alarm must be activated during the
execution of a certain program segment:
OFF Do not activate alarm in this segment.
A1 Activate alarm 1 when program reaches
this segment.
A2 Activate alarm 2 when program reaches
this segment.
A1A2 Activate alarms 1 and 2 when program
reaches this segment.
The alarms chosen must have its function configured
as “rS”.
rPt.P
Repeat
Program
It determines the number of times the program must
be REPEATED, besides the initial execution.
Configurable between 0 and 9999 times. After the
last execution, all controller outputs are turned off
(RUN = OFF).
INPUT LEVEL
Type
tYPE
INPUT TYPE: Selects the input signal type to be
connected to the process variable input. Refer to
Table 1 for the available options.
This must be the first parameter to be
configured.

DECIMAL POINT. Defines the decimal point
position.

UNIT: Defines the indication unit in Celsius or
Fahrenheit
(
Degrees Celsius (°C);
F

Type of program to be adopted by controller:
none
Does not adopt any type of program
rate
Adopts ramp to level function
Pr
Adopts complete Ramp and Level
program.
CALIBRATION LEVEL
All types of input and output are calibrated at the factory. If recalibration
is required, it must be performed by a specialist. If this cycle is
accessed accidentally, pass through all parameters without making
changes to their values.
pass
Password. Input of the Access Password.
This parameter is presented before the protected
cycles. See item Protection of Configuration.
inL(
Input Low Calibration. Enter the value
corresponding to the low scale signal applied to the
analog input.
ink(
Input High Calibration. Enter the value
corresponding to the full scale signal applied to the
analog input.
0vL(
Output Low Calibration. Enter of the value
measured at the analog output.
0vk(
Output High Calibration. Enter of the value
measured at the analog output.
rstr
Restore. Restores the factory calibration for all input,
analog output and remote SP, disregarding
modifications carried out by the user.
(j
Cold Junction. Adjusts the of cold junction
temperature value.
Pas.(
Password. Allows defining a new access password,
always different from zero.
Prot
Protection. Sets up the Level of Protection. See
Table 2.
TYPE OF ADOPTED PROGRAM
Two forms of program execution are available in the controller. The
Program Type (Pr.Ty) parameter allows user to choose between
Ramp to Level (rate) and a complete Ramp and Level program (Pr).
User can also choose to not execute any type of program (none).
PROGRAMS OF RAMP AND SOAK
Available when the Rate option in the Pr.Ty parameter is selected.
The controller allows the process temperature to vary gradually from an
initial value until a specified final value, determining a Ramp-like behavior.
The initial value of the Ramp will always be the process initial
temperature (PV). The final value will always be the value defined in SP.
User determines the increase (or decrease) speed of the ramp in the
“rAtE” parameter, which defines a temperature variation rate in degrees
per minute. In order to disable the Ramp function, program the value 0.0.
When the SP value is reached, the controller starts to control the
process in SP (level) by an interval of time or indefinitely.
The t SP parameter, adjustable between 0 and 9999 minutes,
determines the level duration. At the end of the level, the control is
