1) Selecting a Programmed Memory Setup
There are nine possible program memories that store programmed setup information, and maintain those
programmed parameters even after turning off the unit. Any one of those nine memory setups (Program
numbers) can be accessed by pressing the associated numeric key, [1] to [9], on the keypad (i.e.: pressing
the [5] key will bring up the programmed settings for Program 5). For all program memories, all timing
parameters and output levels are factory programmed to zero, with no temperature control.
2) Running the Current Program
The Program that is currently displayed on the five alternating screens can be run by pressing the START
key.
3) Accessing the MENU Options
By pressing the MENU key, options are shown to change the temperature units (degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit), and to select whether the knob value should be stored when processing is stopped.
4) Returning to the MicroTip Question
If it is necessary to change the answer to the MicroTip question, press CLEAR when the five screens are
being displayed.
5) Programming a Memory Setup
Pressing the PROG key when the five screens are alternating will access the Programming Mode, in which
any or all programmed values can be changed for the currently displayed Program.
NOTE: Any of the following screens that prompt for a settable parameter will always show the currently-
programmed value, such that pressing ENTER/YES will skip to the next screen. After any value is changed
AND ENTER is pressed to store that value, when the next screen appears, the EXIT key can be pressed to
revert to the initial five screens. All parameters after the value that was changed will be retained in memory.
For example, a Program has the following parameters: Process Time = 00:10:00, Pulse-ON Time = 00:02.5,
Pulse-OFF Time = 00:10.0, Initial Level = 4.0, and only using Temperature Monitoring (no temperature
control). If it is desired to only change the Pulse-OFF time to 00:05.0, press PROG when the five screens are
cycling, then press ENTER twice to bypass the Process Time and Pulse-ON time. Key-in [5][0] and press
ENTER, then press EXIT. The Initial Power Level and temperature settings will remain as previously set.
Process Time Programming
The first display that appears will show the following screen, with the bottom line alternating at three-
second intervals:
00:00:00 (hr:min:sec)
Set Total Process Time
00:00:00 (hr:min:sec)
Then Press ENTER
The actual value shown will depend on whether a value was previously programmed.
The “Process Time” is the total processing time desired. When running this Program, processing will
continue until the Elapsed Time equals this programmed Process Time. Note that Elapsed Time is only
counted when the horn is “ON”, therefore, only “ON-Time” is counted. Pressing CLEAR at any time will
zero the Process Time value. Setting this value to 00:00:00 will allow the unit to run “forever” with no
automatic shutdown (see “Elapsed Time Counter”). The maximum value allowed is 99:59:59. When
finished keying in the desired value, press ENTER.
