OTC25 N Operation

To enter the configuration menu, press and hold the Parameter key for 10 seconds until the display changes to the parameter mode. Press the Parameter key again to index through the avail- able parameters. Pressing the Parameter Key for 3 seconds or allowing 60 seconds of inactivity will cause the OTC25 N to exit the menu system and return to normal operating mode.

Parameter Descriptions

Default Display

This parameter determines whether the OTC25 N’s display shows the Setpoint or the actual temperature by default. Regardless of the selection made here, the operator can observe the other value by momentarily

pressing the Parameter Key. This will cause the alternate value to be displayed for five seconds.

Control Hysteresis

Control Hysteresis is adjustable between 2 and 252° F (1 to 140° C ). This parameter is used by the control algorithm to prevent rapid cycling of the output around Setpoint. The default value is 4° F (2° C). This means the heat will turn OFF when the Actual Temperature exceeds the Setpoint by 2° F (1° C). Conversely, the heater will not turn ON until the Actual Temperature drops 2° F (1° C) below the Setpoint.

Display Offset

Display Offset is adjustable from -126 to 126° F (-70 to 70° C). It can be used to provide limited adjustment of the displayed temperature as a com- pensation for offsets between the true temperature and the temperature seen by the thermocouple.
