4-7 Controller Factory Setup
The controller is set up and tested at the factory for optimum operation, and doesn’t
need to be adjusted. If the controller does not work properly, or you suspect someone
has accidentally changed some settings, you can do two things. First, perform the Auto-
Tune Procedure described in the following section. If that doesn’t work, restore the
controller to the original factory settings as described later in this manual.
