RERUN CURRENT CYCLE—When enabled, this selection 
allows you to reset the program via the keyboard to the 
beginning of the current cycle. The Recycle value is not 
affected. The program mode (RUN or HOLD) is not affected. 
HOTSTART Hot Start 
This function determines whether LSP1 or PV is used as the 
setpoint when the program is initially changed from HOLD to 
RUN. The selections are: 
DISABLE =  When the program is initially changed from HOLD 
to RUN the present LSP1 value is captured as 
the default setpoint. If the program is terminated 
or the power cycled before the program has 
completed, the LSP1 is used as the control 
setpoint. The beginning segment uses this value 
as the initial ramp setpoint. 
ENABLE =   When the program is initially changed from HOLD 
to RUN the present PV value is captured and 
used as the beginning setpoint value for the ramp 
segment. If the program is terminated before 
completion, the setpoint value will revert back to 
the PV value captured at the initial HOLD to RUN 
transition. If the power is cycled before program 
completion, upon power-up the setpoint is set to 
the PV value at power-up and when the program 
is restarted that setpoint value is used initially. 
RAMPUNIT 
SEGxRAMP or 
SEGxRATE  
Ramp time or 
rate segments 
A ramp segment is the time it will take to change the setpoint 
to the next setpoint value in the program. 
Ramps are odd number segments (1, 3, . . . 19). Segment #1 
will be the initial ramp time. 
Ramp time is determined in either: 
  TIME - Hours.Minutes     Range = 0-99hr.59 min. 
   or 
  RATE - EU/MIN or EU/HR   Range = 0 to 999 
This selection of time or rate is made at prompt “RAMPUNIT”. 
Set this prompt before entering any Ramp values. 
 ATTENTION   Entering “0” implies an immediate step change 
in setpoint to the next soak.
