Enter Manual Control Mode; refer to Manual 6.1 & 6.8.2~6.8.4
Setup Menu
The setup menu has been categorized into eight categories.
They are listed as below.
- Basic Menu (bASE)
- Output Menu (oUT)
- Communication Menu (CoMM)
- User Select Menu (SEL)
Basic Menu (bASE)
Use or key to get bASE in the lower display then use key to enter to basic menu parameters.
Output Menu (oUT)
Use or key to get oUT in the lower display then use key to enter to output menu parameters.
Communication Menu (CoMM)
Use or key to get CoMM in the lower display then use key to enter to communication menu parameters.
Please note that confirm A2FN set to CoMM when using communication.
User Select Menu (SEL)
Use or key get SEL in the lower display then use key to enter to select the user menu parameters.
Calibration Mode
Press key for 2 seconds or longer (not more than 3 seconds) ; then release it to enter calibration Mode.
Press key for 5 seconds to perform calibration
- Please note that it is required to use specialized equipment to apply calibration, attempting to change will affect device accuracy
Note:
- Using Manual, Auto-Tuning, Calibration modes will break the control loop and change some of the previous setting data. Make sure that the system is allowable to apply these modes.
- The flow chart shows a complete list of all parameters. For actual application, the number of available parameters will vary depending on the setup and model of the controller and will be less than that shown in the flow chart.
- The user can select up to 8 parameters to put in the user select menu by using the SEL1~SEL8 parameters in the setup menu
Before you Start, Setup Input/Output
After power-up, press and hold for 5.3 seconds, then let go to enter Setup Menu. Complete Parameter setting, INPT, UNIT, DP, O1TY, O1L and O1H.
- Enter the Setup Menu. Press for 5 seconds to enter Basic Menu (bASE). Finish setting for INPT, UNIT and DP. Exit the level.
- Return to the Setup Menu. Press for 5 seconds to enter Output Menu (oUT). Finish setting for O1TY, O1L and O1H. Press and hold and return to homepage.
