Operating Modes

Remember to press the Mode/Enter key after making your selection.

If both outputs are

set to or , the Series C will func- tion as a non-control- ling indicator. Control outputs will be disabled and the Operating Modes will not be displayed.

The Series C’s operating modes are: Manual, Standby, Normal, Autotune, Ramp/Soak Recipe, Run and Hold. To select a different

operating mode, press the Mode/Enter key for three seconds. The operating mode that the controller is currently in will be dis- played. To index through the available operating modes, press the

Raise or Lower keys. When the desired mode is displayed,

press the Mode/Enter key once to select the mode.

Manual

Standby

Normal

Autotune

(Only available when unit is placed in Standby mode and one output is PID.)

Start Ramp/Soak Recipe

(Only when programmed.)

Run

(Only available when recipe is active.)

Hold

(Only available when recipe is active.)

Operating Modes

Manual operating mode overrides auto- matic control, allowing you to control the outputs using a fixed percentage of output power, regardless of the process variable or setpoint.

If current automatic control is PID, transfer to Manual mode is “bumpless.”
