ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
; The unit automatically executes a one-minute venting sequence
to expel air trapped in the process piping. We recommend a
longer venting sequence on larger process systems. Press and
hold the
VENT
button to force the cooling/vent valve open and
eliminate air trapped in the process piping in larger process
systems.
The controller is
OFF
and the
Vent Cycle
indicator is lighted
during the vent sequence.
; Set the microprocessor controller to the process temperature
you want by pressing the
Up Arrow
button or the
Down Arrow
button on the front of the controller.
; Allow your process to reach the set point temperature, then
auto-tune the control by pressing the
AT
key. See Section 4-10
on Page 36 for more information.
; Watch the drain for any bubbles or erratic flow, which
indicates if the system has been properly vented. If the stream
is steady, the unit was properly vented and all air is out of the
system.
; Operate the unit, checking for anything unusual that could
indicate improper operation.
Note:
You can stop your temperature control unit at any time by pressing the
STOP
button.
