The SET BACK SETPOINT is the lower process air temperature that will keep the material ready for processing but not damage it over an extended period of time.

The SET BACK DELAY button prevents the control from going to the SET BACK SETPOINT until the subject time period has elapsed.

When the return air temperature reading is above the SET BACK TEMPERATURE the SET BACK SETPOINT is used on the process air setpoint.

When the return air temperature reading is below the SETUP TEMPERATURE, the process air setpoint returns to normal.
