If the Controller is new and has not previously
been configured it will start up showing the ‘Quick
Start’ codes. This is a built in tool which enables
you to configure the input type and range, the
output functions and alarms.
!Incorrect configuration can result in
damage to the process and/or personal injury
and must be carried out by a competent person
authorised to do so. It is the responsibility of
the person commissioning the instrument to
ensure the configuration is correct.
To Configure Parameters in Quick
Start Mode
With ‘QckStart’ selected, press to scroll
through a list of parameters.
Edit the parameters using Vor .
When the required choice is selected a brief blink
of the display indicates that it has been accepted .
The first parameter is ‘Units’.
This parameter is associated
with Loop 1 ‘LP1’ and resides
in the ‘PV Input’ list as shown.
Continue setting up the paras presented until the
‘Finished’ view is displayed.
If all parameters are set up as required press V
or to select ‘Yes’.
The loop(s) are set to Auto on exit from Quick
Start and the controller re-starts in operator level
2.
The ‘HOME’ display is shown - see ‘Normal
Operation’.
☺If you wish to edit parameters again do not
select ‘Yes’ but continue to press .
All available parameters are shown in the following
tables.

The LP1 parameters listed above are repeated for LP2 if the LP2 PV Input is configured.
Logic function (input or output)
To configure the function of Logic IO which
can be an output or an input.
Not Used, Lp1 Ch1, Lp1 Ch2, Lp2 Ch1, Lp2 Ch2,
Alarm1 to 8, AnyAlarm, NewAlarm, ProgEvnt1 to 8,
LP1SBrkOP, LP2SBrkOP*, LPsSBrk*, (outputs)
LP1 A-M, LP1 SPsel, LP2 A-M, LP2 SPsel, AlarmAck,
ProgRun, ProgReset, ProgHold (Inputs)
[Note 1] [Note 2]
* LP2 and LPs (both loops) only shown if
the second loop is configured.
Programmer options only available if the
controller is a programmer/controller.
Init
LgcIO LA
Min OnTime (if configured as a control OP) Auto, or 0.01 to 150.00 [Note 2] [Note 3]
The above two parameters are repeated for the LB Logic I/O (LgcIO LB)
Init
RlyOP AA
AA Relay output
function
This relay is always fitted.
Not Used, Lp1 Ch1, Lp1 Ch2, Lp2 Ch1, Lp2 Ch2, Alarm 1 to 8, Any
Alarm, New Alarm, ProgEvnt1 to 8, LP1SBrkOP, LP2SBrkOP*, LPsSBrk*.
Always if the instrument Is ordered as a
programmer/controller. [Note 4]
Init
RlyOP AA
AA Relay Min OnTime Auto, or 0.01 to 150.00 [Note 2] [Note 3]
Note 1) Parameters only appear if the function has been turned on, eg If ‘Control Channel 1’ = ‘Off’, ‘Chan 1’ does not appear in this list. When a control
channel is configured for valve positioning, LgcIO LA and LgcIO LB act as a complementary pair. If, for example, Chan 1 is connected to LgcIO LA
(valve raise) then LgcIO LB is automatically set to Chan 1 (valve lower). This ensures the valve is never raised and lowered simultaneously.
The same complementary behaviour also applies to dual output modules and channels A and C of triple output modules
Note 2) If any input function, for example Chan 1, is connected to another input it will not appear in this list
Note 3) Is available if the Control Channel is not On/Off and is allocated to the LA, LB or AA output as applicable
Note 4) For valve position control Chan 1 or Chan 2 will not appear in this list. Valve position outputs can only be dual outputs such as LA and LB or dual
relay/triac output modules
To Re-enter Quick Start Mode
If you have exited from Quick Start mode (by selecting ‘Yes’ to the ‘Finished’ parameter) and you need to make further changes, the Quick start mode can be entered again at any time.
1. Hold down then power up the controller. Keep this button pressed until the ‘Startup’ - ‘Goto QckStart’ screen is displayed.
2. Press to enter the quick start list. You will then be asked to enter a passcode.
3. Use Vor Wto enter the passcode – default 4. If an incorrect code is entered the display reverts to the ‘Quick Start’ view.
It is then possible to repeat the quick configuration as described previously.
Note: The Quick Start view contains two additional parameters - ‘Cancel’ and ‘Config’.
Select Cancel to revert to normal operating mode.
Config will allow full configuration mode to be entered (after entering the correct pass code). Configuration is described in the Engineering Manual HA027988.

Quick Start Parameters - Plug in I/O Modules
The controller automatically displays parameters applicable to the module fitted - if no module is fitted in a slot then it does not appear in the list.
Each module can have up to three inputs or outputs. These are shown as A, B or C after the module number and this corresponds to the terminal numbers on the back of the instrument. If the I/O is single only A
appears. If it is dual A and C appears if it is triple A, B and C appear.
Note: If an incorrect module is fitted the message ‘Bad Ident’ will be displayed.

Normal Operation
Switch on the controller. Following a brief self-test sequence, the controller will start up
in AUTO mode and show the ‘HOME’ display in Operator Level 2 (following Quick Start).
If the controller is configured as a dual loop instrument the start up view shows a
summary of the two loops.
Note: Views shown in this guide are for 3504 and represent typical examples.
Beacons
OP1 Illuminates when output 1 is ON (normally heating)
OP2 Illuminates when output 2 is ON (normally cooling or alarm)
MAN Illuminates when manual mode active. If the HOME display is showing the dual loop overview, MAN
illuminates if Loop 1 is in manual. If the Loop 1 or Loop 2 overviews are being displayed MAN applies to the
loop being displayed.
REM Illuminates when alternative setpoint is active
SPX Illuminates when setpoint 2 is active
ALM If an alarm occurs the red alarm beacon flashes together with a message showing the source of the alarm,
for example ‘AnAlm1 - Abs Hi’ (the latter can also be a customised message). When acknowledged the
alarm message disappears. If the alarm condition is still present the beacon lights continuously. For non-
latched alarms it will extinguish when the alarm is cleared.
RUN Illuminates when the programmer running – flashing indicates End
HLD Illuminates when the programmer is in Hold (frozen)
J Flashes when J Channel digital communications is active
H Flashes when H Channel digital communications is active
IR On when infra red communications is enabled and flashes when infra red communications is active
