3.3.2.User Level
Process value offset correction
The value to be added to the PV to correct the sensor offset error.
Control output percentage
In Auto mode ( = ), it shows the percentage of power applied to the control output.
In Manual mode ( = ), the upper display will show the process value (PV) and
“ ” alternately and the “MA” indicator is lit. The value of percentage can be changed manually.
Control mode
Select the control mode to be
Off – Standby mode. Both control output and alarm are turned off.
On – Auto mode (closed loop control). In this mode, the control output percentage is determined
by PID algorithm or ON/OFF action.
AT1 – Auto-tuning mode 1. In this mode, the controller will tune the PID parameters automatically
at SV. The process will oscillate around the SV during AT1 process (Figure 6). Use AT2
mode if overshooting beyond the normal process is likely to cause damage.
AT2 – Auto-tuning mode 2. In this mode, the controller will tune the PID parameters automatically
at (SV-10%). The process will oscillate around (SV-10%) during AT2 process (Figure 6).
Man – Manual mode (open loop control). In this mode, the control output can be set manually.

Wiring precaution:
Inverter, mechanical contact relays, arc welders, and ignition transformers are all common sources
of electrical noise in an industrial environment, so always keep signal wires away from those
noise-generating devices.

Figure 3. Front panel description
PV ( Upper display ) : Display the process Value, parameter index code or error code
SV ( Lower display ) : Display the set point value or the set value of parameter
C1 : Control output 1 indicator
C2 : Control output 2 indicator
A1 : Alarm 1 indicator
A2 : Alarm 2 indicator
AT : Auto-tuning indicator (The right-most decimal point of upper display)
MA : Manual mode indicator (The right-most decimal point of lower display)
Keypad description
SET key : Use to menus navigation and set value registration
Shift key : Shift the digit of numeral
Down key : Decreases the parameter value or change the setting
Up key : Increases the parameter value or change the setting
SET + Shift key for 2 sec. : Enter set up mode
SET + up key : Return to PV/SV display
Shift + Down key on powering up : set all parameters to default setting

3.3.Configuration
3.3.1.Menu Flowchart
After powering up procedure, the controller stays in PV/SV display. The upper display shows the
process value (measuring value) and the lower display shows the set point value (target value). All
the configurable parameters are located in different levels and can be accessed by keypad
operation as shown in figure 5.
