Quick Setup Instructions - Series 16C Temperature Controller

Experienced users, already familiar with the Series 16C, and using the controller with PID outputs, may follow these condensed instructions to autotune the controller and get started quickly once the instrument is prop-

erly mounted and wired, and the Security Level is set to . Once setup is complete, we recommend changing the Security Level back to the most restrictive level suitable for your application.

These quick setup instructions are not meant as a substitute for reading the full instruction manual supplied with the controller. Please be sure to read

through the manual for specific details of operation and, most importantly, for safety precautions. If you have any questions, or experience problems with setting up your controller, consult the full instruction manual first and, if you still need assistance, contact your Athena representative or call 1-800-782-6776.
