Ramp & Soak provides users with the flexibility to slowly bring the process variable to the desired set point. Ramp & Soak Values
are specified in HH.MM format. The Ramp Value indicates the time specified to bring the process variable to Setpoint 1. Once
setpoint is reached, the PID takes over and the process variable will be controlled at the desired setpoint indefinitely. If Soak is
enabled, PID will control the process variable at the specified setpoint for the duration of soak time and then will turn off Output 1.
To start a new ramp/soak cycle, reset the controller by pressing MENU and then MIN button.An active ramp/soak will change SP1
one degree above the PV and will cause the most significant digit to blink. The SP1 will be incremented by one degree until it
reaches the original SP1. The minimum ramp time must be at least twice the time that it will take the PV to reach the SV with OUT1
fully ON.
* NOTE: If ÒRampÓ Disable was selected, the display skips ÒSoakÓ submenu to the next menu item.
