TUNE+PV 
DEMAND TUNING PLUS PV ADAPTIVE 
TUNING—This selection provides “TUNE” on 
demand tuning plus PV Adaptive tuning whenever a 
PV process disturbance equal to or greater than 
0.3% of span occurs. After a disturbance of 1.5 
process cycles around the Setpoint occurs, this 
selection will initiate a recalculation of the Tuning 
parameters. 
 
SP+PV 
SETPOINT TUNING PLUS PV ADAPTIVE 
TUNING—This selection tunes whenever the SP is 
changed plus performs a PV Adaptive Tune 
whenever a PV process disturbance equal to or 
greater than 0.3% of span occurs. After a 
disturbance of 1.5 process cycles around the 
Setpoint occurs, this selection will initiate a 
recalculation of the Tuning parameters. 
ATTENTION  When SP Tune is active (T displayed) 
the Tuning Group parameters cannot be changed. 
DUPLEX 
 
 
DUPLEX ACCUTUNING III—These prompts only 
appear when a duplex output type has been 
configured and TUNE or TUNE+PV has been 
selected. 
 
MANUAL 
MANUAL—Tune manually using LSP 1 and LSP 2 
values. LSP 1 is used to derive tuning parameters 
associated with HEAT (output > 50 %). LSP 2 is 
used to derive tuning parameters associated with 
COOL (output < 50 %). 
 
AUTO 
AUTOMATIC—Tuning is performed automatically on 
both HEAT and COOL sequentially. LSP 1 is used 
for HEAT tuning and LSP 2 is used for COOL tuning. 
To initiate tuning, either LSP 1 or LSP 2 must be in 
use. 
 
DISABLE 
DISABLE—The current Setpoint is used to derive a 
single set of blended tuning parameters. This tuning 
is performed over the range of the output limits 
similar to Simplex Tuning. The Tuning Parameters 
derived are placed into both the HEAT and COOL 
tune sets (PID 1 and PID 2). 
SP CHANG 
5 to 15% 
SETPOINT CHANGE—This prompt appears only 
when SP or SP+PV has been selected. This is the 
minimum Setpoint change on Loop 1 that will result 
in a re-tuning process. 
For example, if the SP range is 0 to 2400 and 
Setpoint change is set to 5%, then a re-tuning 
process will take place whenever the SP is changed 
by 120 or more.
