5400 Series TECSource User’s Manual · Page 7
If you notice the temperature is oscillating around the set point and not
stabilizing, you may need to adjust the Gain setting in the menu. You can use
the AutoTune PID feature to automatically calculate the best PID values, or
select from a set of eight factory preset values that typically cover most
applications. To use the factory gains, if the temperature is quickly jumping up
and down, the Gain will typically need to be reduced. If the temperature is slowly
moving up and down, try a higher Gain. You may need to experiment with
several gain settings to find the ideal value, and for even finer control, you can
set the Gain to PID and directly set the PID control values.

Installation
Installation of the 5400 TECSource is very straightforward, as the quick start
section above illustrated. This section will provide additional details and
considerations for installing your TECSource.
After unpacking the unit, make sure all packing materials have been removed
and nothing obscures the ventilation ports on the back and bottom of the unit.
The TECSource has a universal input power supply, accepting 90 to 240 VAC,
and 50 or 60 Hz. This covers all conventional power worldwide, but ensure your
AC power meets these requirements.
Powering Up the Unit
Once the correct voltage selection has been made, connect the AC power cord
to the unit.
Turn the power switch, located on the front of the unit, into the on (|) position.
The unit will display the current firmware revision, go through a quick power-up
self-test, and return to the last known operating state.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 250VAC on the line input.
It is critical to select the proper voltage selection prior to
applying power to the unit. If the actual voltage exceeds
the voltage selection by +/-10%, damage to the unit
may occur.
