Select your language from the language menu.
During quickstart, the controller checks the current flow after a short period of time. If the current flow is below the detection limit, the user will be asked whether contactor mode should be activated or whether short heating cables should be used (which deactivates the current monitoring of the output).
Select Imperial or Metric units
The unit is automatically executing a connection check. It will check the heating cable connection, ambient sensor and pipe sensor connection. A connection of the unit to an external contactor needs to be confirmed by the user.
Warning:The465 controller can't monitor the load current and ground fault current in each cable segment when an external contactor is used. External ground fault protection must be provided using appropriateGFEPD.

Sensors Set-up

Setting up Sensors 1 and 2 is fully flexible. Assign each sensor to be a line or ambient sensor. Select if you want the circuit to remain on if the given sensor fails by clicking "Power On TS Fail". Select which sensor you would want to use for high limit cutout. Make sure Sensor 1 is connected to terminals S1 and .

Fine tune the individual sensor settings in the parameters setting menu.

Control Mode Setpoint

If only one sensor is used, leave the other sensor settings blank.
This allows selection of the type of algorithm to be used to maintain the setpoint temperature. Select Ambient On/Off, PASC (Proportional Ambient Sensing Control) or Line Sensing Control. If no ambient or line sensor was assigned, the corresponding control mode will be disabled.
This is the temperature that the controller uses to determine whether its output switch should be On or Off.
