5| | Differential gap (Hysteresis)| When the controller is on ON/OFF controlling mode (P=0), if the measured value (PV) is close to setpoint temperature (SV) relay contact may repeatedly turn ON and OFF. The differential gap (hysteresis) setting can prevent this ON/OFF repetition by giving a range to the set point temperature (SV).| 0.1-50.0| 0.5
6| | Proportional Band| This parameter is set when the controller is on PI or PID controlling mode (for heating/cooling PID action).

When Pl the controller Is on ON/OFF controlling mode.

11| | Hot/Cold| 0:reverse control(heating)
1:positive control(cooling)| 0-1| 0
12| | Alarm type| 0: Alarm function OFF;

1: Process high alarm;

2: Process low alarm;

13| | Digital Filter| This is a 1st-order lay filter by software prepared in order to reduce fluctuations of the measured value (PV) by noise.| 0-99| 20
14| | Decimal point position| Position of the decimal point, for the, displayed measured value (PV).| 0-3| 1
15| | Set data lock| LOCK=18, all parameters can be set Otherwise, No parameter can be changed.| 0-50| 18
16| | Initial output (Output percentage)| After auto-tuning, increase the value of this parameter if the measured value (PV) is less than the set value (SV) for a long time.| 0-100| 10
17| | Measured value (PV) unit select| C: Celsius F: Fahrenheit If the value is changed, the controller needs to execute Auto-tuning again. Refer to row 10. Auto-tune d this table.| C, F| F

Operation

4.1 Basic Setting Level:
Press and hold the SET key for 3S to enter the main Parameter setting mode (the controller will display the parameters code (1～25) in the upper window and the parameters value at the lower one). Press ▲,▼ or ◀ key to adjust each parameter, and then by pressing the SET key each parameter will be saved. The parameters can be saved automatically and the controller goes out of parameter setting mode within 10 seconds if no action is taken or no key is pressed. All the Parameter can be set or revised when Lock=18
4.2 Setting value (SV):
Press the SET key once to enter SV Setting Mode. The Set value (SV) can be set when the operation mode is on Auto-tuning.
4.3 Manual Control Operation:
Press and hold ◀ key for 3S to enter the manual regulation. When it displays “H” on the lower window you can set the output power. Press and hold ◀key for 3S again to get out of manual regulation mode.
4.4 Output percentage:
Press ▲ key to enter output percentage.

Determining PID Constants (Auto-tuning)

When AT is executed, the optimum PID constants for the setpoint at that time are set automatically. A method (called the limit cycle method) for forcibly changing the manipulated variable and finding the characteristics of the control object is employed.
Set HY on 0.5～1℃. If the output is a relay, set t=2S and then set AT=On. AT lamp will be flashing and at this time controller enters Auto-tuning mode. Now, the controlling way is on-off mode and after 3 times vibrating (3 control period) P, I, D parameters will be automatically saved and the self-adjusting process is completed (Operation will be as shown in the diagram):

Attentions：

• When Auto-tuning, the controller should not change the set value.
• When the power turns Off during Auto-tuning, it will restart Auto-tuning next time.
• When it is needed to artificially exit during Auto-tuning, set parameter (AT) to OFF so can exit (but the setting result will not be valid).

Alarm function

Alarm (ALM) function sets up the alarm status when the measured value (PV) or the deviation reaches the alarm set values. In the alarm status, the alarm output is dry contact type (terminals 1 and 2), and the alarm is used to drive the equipment danger signals or the safety equipment.

value
Process low alarm| Measured value<Alarm set value| Measured value>Alarm set value
Deviation high alarm| Measured value>Alarm set value + Set value| Measured value>Alarm set value + Set value
Deviation low alarm| Measured value<Alarm set value – Set value| Measured value>Alarm set value – Set value

Band alarm

| Measured value<Alarm1 set value And Measured value>Alarm2 set value| Measured value>Alarm1 set value Or Measured value<Alarm2 set value

Out of band alarm

| Measured value>Alarm1 set value Or Measured value<Alarm2 set value| Measured value<Alarm1 set value And Measured value>Alarm2 set value
