IV.1

The

C key

This key is used to toggle the units in which temperatures are displayed and entered. The right
most digit in the main display indicates the units currently being used (F = Fahrenheit; C = Centi-
grade).

IV.2

RUN

STBY

The Run/Stby Key

The

RUN/STBY

key initiates or stops operation of the Programmable Temperature Controller. To

initiate a temperature program or single setpoint operation, press

RUN/STBY

. The LED labeled

RUN will light up to indicate the present status of the controller. When the Temperature Controller is
operating, pressing the

RUN/STBY

key will place the unit in a standby mode and cease control of

the Thermo Container.

IV.3

SET

The Set Key

The

SET

key is pressed when the operator wants to view or edit temperature and time data. In single

setpoint (non-program) mode, the

SET

key accesses the temperature setpoint. In programmed mode,

the

SET

key is used to cycle through the time/temperature program and to accept various options

when the user is “building” a temperature/time program.

IV.4

PGM

The Program Key

The

PGM

key is pressed when the operator wants to establish, review or use a temperature/time

program. The LED labeled PROGRAM is illuminated when the Programmable Temperature Con-
troller is in the program mode.

IV.5

The Arrow (direction) Keys

The

ARROW

keys are used to increment (or decrement) temperature values and to scroll through

sub-program options where required. When used to input temperatures, a single press of either of
these keys will result in a single digit increment in the displayed temperature value. When large
temperature steps are required, the user will find it simpler to press and hold these keys. At first, this
will result in a slow increment (or decrement) of the display temperature. However, after a couple of
seconds, the display will rapidly increment (or decrement) and the user must be careful not to over-
shoot (or undershoot) the desired input value.

These keys will not work when the Programmable Temperature Controller is in the run mode.

IV.6 HEAT

The Heat LED

The

HEAT

LED is illuminated when the controller is providing power to the Thermo Container. The

LED will flash at a rapid rate when the temperature of the Thermo Container is being maintained at
a programmed temperature.
