10. Key definition****
    | key：| In normal display state, click this key to switch on and off the light.
    ---|---|---
    | key：| In normal display state, click this key to enter the modification interface of the setting values , and long press this key for 3 seconds to enter the modification interface of the parameter table.
    | key| In the setting state, click this key to make the setting values shift, flash and modify.
    | key：| In the setting state, click this key to increase the setting values.
    | key：| In the setting state, click this key to decrease the setting values.

11. Instructions of operation:
    ** 2.1 When the controller is powered on, the upper row of the display window displays [graduation number and instrument model], and the lower row displays [version number]. After about 3 seconds, it will enter the normal display state.
    2.2 The reference and setting of temperature and time
    Note:** the timing function and timing mode (timing / countdown) are optional. See the values of parameter NDT and NDE in internal parameter table-2.

12. If there is no timing function:
    Click the [setting] key to enter the temperature setting state, and the prompt “SP” will be displayed on the upper display window, while the setting temperature will be displayed in the lower row. The temperature can be modified to the required one through the [ increase ], [decrease] and [shift] keys; then click the [setting] key to exit the setting state, and the modified values will be automatically saved.

13. If there is timing function
    Click the [setting] key to enter the temperature setting state, and the prompt “SP” will be displayed on the upper display window, and the setting temperature ~ will be displayed in the lower row, and the modification method is the same as above; then click the[setting]key again to enter the time setting state, and the prompt “ST” will be displayed on the upper display window, while the setting time will be displayed in the lower row; and then click the [ setting ] key to exit the setting state, and the modified values will be automatically saved.
    ‘When the time is set to “0”, it means that there is no timing function, and the instrument operates continuously, and the setting values of temperature are displayed in the lower row of the display window; when the setting time is not “0”, the running time is displayed in the lower row of the display window, and the “time unit” is on. When the timing starts, the “time unit” flashes. ‘When the timing is over the operation completes, the lower row of the display window displays “End”, and after the buzzer beeps intermittently for EST seconds (refer to the internal parameter table-2 for details), it stops. After the scheduled operation is over, long press the [decrease] key for 3 seconds to restart the operation.
    2.3 Alarm for abnormal temperature
    If “—” is displayed on the upper row of the display window, it means that there is something wrong with the temperature sensor or the temperature exceeds the measuring range or the controller is broken; the controller will automatically disconnect the heating output; the buzzer will beep continuously and the alarm light will be on constantly. Please check the temperature sensor and its wiring carefully.
    2.4 When the upper deviation is over temperature and an alarm appears, the buzzer beeps and beeps, and the “ALM” alarm light is always on, disconnecting the heating output; when the lower deviation is over temperature and an  alarm appears, the buzzer beeps and beeps, and the “ALM” alarm light flashes; if the over temperature alarm generates due to the change of the temperature setting values, the “ALM” alarm light is not on, and the buzzer does not beep, either. 2.5 In the normal display state, long press the increase key for 2 seconds to manually lock the screen. Click the increase key to release the lock screen under the lock screen state; or in the main interface, the screen will be locked automatically after no key  operation for a certain period of time (refer to internal parameter TABLE-1, parameter LCT for details).
    2.6 When the buzzer beeps, you can press any key to eliminate it.
