Tuning
This controller incorporates a self-tuning fea-
ture which determines the optimum control
parameters for the best temperature accuracy
with your load and setpoint. Use this feature
the first time you use your furnace and each
time you change either your setpoint or the
type of load you are heating.
Barnstead|Thermolyne recommends you use
this feature to provide the best temperature
accuracy the controller can attain. To use the
tuning feature:
1. Adjust the setpoint to your desired
value.
2. Press the PAGE button until display
reads, “Atun.”
3. Press the SCROLL button. Display
will read, “tunE.”
4. Press the UP or DOWN button to
select, “on.”
5. Simultaneously press the PAGE and
SCROLL buttons to return to the
HOME DISPLAY. The display will
alternately flash between “tunE” and
the HOME DISPLAY while tuning is in
progress.
6. The controller will then turn the heat-
ing on and off to induce an oscillation.
When the measured value reaches
the required setpoint the first cycle will
end.
7. Tuning will be complete after two
oscillation cycles and then the tuner
will turn itself off.
8. Normal control function will resume
after the controller calculates tuning
parameters.
