This may seriously damage the heater PLA and PLB power limit setting will be ignored during Autotune 7 Getting Started Model 101303 50 Excellent thermal control is normally attained by automatically tuning the control parameters described below to the specific thermal system The controller should be autotuned the first time it is used and whenever the thermal properties of the system being controlled change significantly Warning For systems that cannot tolerate the overshoot that can occur during the autotuning process change the ATSP parameter as described in the advanced features to a lower value so that the system autotunes around a lower value The default autotuning point is 90 of the setpoint This may also be set to 100 to tune the controller at the setpoint if your system allows Be aware that the autotuning algorithm turns power on at 100 to measure system response Operating at 100 duty cycle may damage some types of heaters especially those used in high temperature furnaces Do not autotune the system if it will be damaged by 100 output power If this is the case refer to the Watlow Series 96 manual for the manual tuning procedure 1 Set the control setpoint to a safe operating value for your system 2 On the control module press the two arrows keys simultaneously until GPE appears in the lower display 3 Scroll up or down with the arrow keys until U5Er appears in the upper
