Operation
Power On
When power is first applied to the Series 16, both displays
and all LED indicators are momentarily illuminated. The
Process Value (PV) window then displays [ -At- ] or [ -Ap- ]
and the Setpoint Value (SV) window displays an initialization
code, e.g., [ tf06 ]. The last two digits of this code indicate the
software revision supplied with your controller. Please pro-
vide this revision number when contacting us regarding your
controller. Depending upon whether Setpoint Target Time [
SP.tt ] is enabled, you may also see this symbol: or .
This means that the controller is ramping up or down to set-
point according to its previously programmed parameters.
The default setpoint on initial power up is equal to the
process temperature (process value). Before proceeding
further, wait until the display has stabilized and then use the
Raise or Lower keys to enter or adjust your desired
Setpoint Value.
Parameter Menu Organization
Your Series 16 controller has five distinct menu levels. This
enables quick access to relevant parameters without the need
for scrolling through long menus. Menu “05” is used for
initial controller configuration and menus “02” and “03” are
used for setting or changing parameters. Menus “00” and
“01” are used when the controller is in regular unattended
operation and are not used for setting parameters. For safety
and security purposes, we recommend placing the con-
troller in menu level “00” or “01” when in regular opera-
tion; however, it is not required.
If you wish to “escape” from parameter selection within
these menus at any time, simply press the Mode key
once. A description of the menu hierarchy and a detailed list-
ing of menus and parameters begins on page 15.
