Parameter
Descriptions
Setting output cycle time to “00” initiates a 200 ms timebase. A cycle time setting is required for smooth
proportional action. Too long a setting will cause proportional ripple; too short will decrease relay contactor life.
When changing thermocouple types, be sure to check/adjust upper and lower setpoint limit values.

process to reach setpoint temperature (ramp to setpoint), from disabled [ OFF ] or 1 to 100 minutes. When
enabled, the ramp sequence starts on power-up. The ramp-to-setpoint feature will also be initiated whenever
a new setpoint target time is entered AND the Setpoint Value is 5° F or more from the current process
temperature. In operation, the controller’s lower window display will flash
or
to indicate that it is
“ramping” up or down to setpoint. The Setpoint Value cannot be changed during this procedure. After it is
finished, the operator can adjust the setpoint temperature to the desired value.
While in ramp startup, the ramp-to-setpoint mode can be aborted and the controller returned to regular
operation by pressing the Parameter/Access key until parameters are displayed and then pressing the
Mode
key once.
Note: Shorter cycle times may be used when driving heater loads directly.
