Caution: Incorrect wiring can damage the device and connected equipment. Always double-check connections before applying power.
6. Operation
6.1 Basic Power On
After successful installation and wiring, apply power to the device. The display will illuminate, showing the current Process Value (PV) and Set Value (SV).
6.2 Setting the Set Value (SV)
- Press the MODE button to enter the parameter setting mode.
- Use the Up or Down arrow buttons to navigate to the SV parameter.
- Press MODE again to select the SV for editing.
- Use the Up or Down arrow buttons to adjust the desired temperature.
- Press MODE to confirm the new SV and exit the setting mode.
6.3 Running and Stopping Control
- To start temperature control, press the RUN button. The controller will begin regulating the temperature according to the SV.
- To stop temperature control, press the STOP button. The output will be deactivated.
6.4 Advanced Settings (PID Tuning, Alarms)
For advanced settings such as PID auto-tuning, alarm configurations, and input type selection, refer to the detailed programming guide (if available) or contact technical support. These settings are typically accessed via specific button combinations or menu navigation using the MODE and arrow buttons.
