Features

Congratulations on your purchase of an Athena Series 16C Temperature/Process Controller. It is designed for ease of use and reliability wherever accurate control is required.

After following the instructions for installation, simply step through and set your operating parameters using the controller’s easy menu system. The instrument may then be automatically or manually tuned to your process for optimum setpoint control.

A Quick Setup Reference Card is on page 5 and also attached as a tear-off card to the back of the instruction manual for experienced users of PID controllers.

As you look through this manual, you will notice blue italicized text appearing in the margins and adjacent to operating information. These notes impart important informa- tion about the controller and may answer questions you may have about its setup or operation. If you still have questions or require any assistance, please contact your Athena repre- sentative or call technical support at 1-800-782-6776. Outside the USA, please call 610-828-2490.

After unpacking, inspect the instrument for any physical damage that may have occurred in shipping. Save all packing materials and report any damage to the carrier immediately.
