Why can't I set the SV, P, I, D, proportional cycle or alarm value on my Shinko ACS-13A?
- D
  Daniel SmithAug 15, 2025
  If you are unable to set the SV, P, I, D, proportional cycle, or alarm value on your Shinko Controller, it might be due to the set value lock (Lock 1 or Lock 2) being active. To resolve this, release the lock in the [Set value lock] settings. Alternatively, AT or auto-reset may be in progress. If it is AT, cancel it. Auto-reset takes approximately 4 minutes to complete.

What to do if the indication of PV display is irregular or unstable on Shinko ACS-13A Controller?
- S
  Steve ThompsonAug 18, 2025
  If the PV display on your Shinko Controller is irregular or unstable, consider the following: Ensure the sensor input and temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit) are correctly selected. If a sensor correcting value is unsuitable, adjust it to a more appropriate value. Verify the sensor's specifications are correct. AC leaks into the sensor circuit can cause this issue, so try using an ungrounded type sensor. Lastly, nearby equipment might be causing interference; keep the controller clear of any potentially disruptive devices.

Why the setting indication does not change in the input range even if the keys are pressed, and new values are unable to be set on Shinko ACS-13A Controller?
- T
  Tyler MckinneyAug 22, 2025
  If the setting indication does not change in the input range even if the keys are pressed, and new values are unable to be set on your Shinko Controller, the scaling high or low limit value in Setup mode may be set at a point where the value does not change. To fix this, set it to a suitable value while in Setup mode.

How to troubleshoot if the temperature does not rise on Shinko Controller?
- V
  Vanessa PayneAug 26, 2025
  If the temperature does not rise when using your Shinko Controller, first, the sensor may be out of order, so replace it. Second, check whether the Sensor or control output terminals are securely mounted to the instrument input terminals. Ensure that the sensor or control output terminals are mounted to the instrument input terminals securely. Third, check whether the wiring of sensor or control output terminals is correct.

Why does the control output remain in an ON status on my Shinko ACS-13A Controller?
- M
  Morgan HarperAug 28, 2025
  If the control output of your Shinko Controller remains in an ON status, it could be because the OUT1 or OUT2 low limit value is set to 100% or higher in Setup mode. To resolve this, set it to a suitable value.

Why does the control output remain in an OFF status on my Shinko ACS-13A?
- T
  thomasrussellSep 1, 2025
  If the control output of your Shinko Controller remains in an OFF status, it could be because the OUT1 or OUT2 high limit value is set to 0% or less in Setup mode. To resolve this, set it to a suitable value.

How to fix '[ ]' flashing on the PV display on Shinko Controller?
- J
  John PetersonSep 8, 2025
  If '[ ]' is flashing on the PV display of your Shinko Controller, verify the following: Check whether the input signal wire for DC voltage (1 to 5V DC) or Direct current (4 to 20mA DC) is disconnected. Check whether the input signal wire for DC voltage (1 to 5V DC) or current (4 to 20mA DC) is securely connected to the instrument input terminals. Check if the polarity of the thermocouple or compensating lead wire is correct. Check whether codes (A, B, B) of RTD agree with the instrument terminals.
