1. Safety Precautions
Ensure the product using within the specification.
Do not touch the terminals at least while power is being supplied. Doing so may
occasionally result in injury due to electric shock.
Do not allow pieces of metal, wire clippings, or fine metallic shaving or filings from
installation to enter the product. Doing so may occasionally result in electric shock,
fire, or malfunction.
Do not use the product where subject to flammable or explosive gas. Otherwise,
injury from explosion may occasionally occur.
Never disassemble, modify or repair the product or touch any of the internal parts.
Electric Shock, fire, or malfunction may occasionally occur.
If the output relays are used past their life expectancy, contact fusing or burning may
occasionally occur. Always consider the application conditions and use the output
relays within their rated load and electrical life expectancy. The life expectancy of
output relays varies considerably with the output load and switch conditions.

6. Operating instruction
After power-on, PV screen displays current measured value and SV screen displays
current set value, the instrument is in this normal status. If PV/SV screen displays
“orAL” alternately, it means that input value is out of range (or sensor is open circuit)
or input setting is incorrect. When there is alarm output, SV screen displays character
related with alarms: HiAL (Upper Alarm Limit), LoAL (Lower Alarm Limit),
dHAL(Maximum Deviation Alarm), dLAL (Minimum Deviation Alarm).
Checking Output Value: Press “SET” Key (no more than 1S), If SV screen displays
“A”,( e.g.: ), the status is automatic control output; If SV demo display
“M”,( e.g.: ), the status is manual control output.
Auto/Manual Switch: Press “《“Key (no more than 1S),can switch the instrument
between automatic control and manual control status. In automatic control status,
RUN pilot lamp is off; in manual control status, RUN pilot lamp is on. (Remarks: If
status of setting function is “2: No manual”, it cannot operate like this.)
Temperature Setting: When SV screen displays setting value, press “︽”key（or“︾”
key）can increase( or decrease) setting value. Press“《”key can move the place of
update data. If keep pressing “︽”Key (or“︾”Key), can set the value quick.
Start the Self-adjusting Function: At the first-time use, please use self-adjusting
function to determine the control parameters (M50, P and T parameter), so it can
obtain ideal controlling. Keep pressing the “《”key for more than 2S, SV screen

displays “AT” alternately (Character: ), the instrument is in self-adjusting status. In
this status, the instrument will execute position adjustment by 2 - 5 times oscillations,
then it will turn out PID control parameter automatically (M50, P and T parameter).
The instrument will return to PID automatic control status at the end of self-
adjustment. If user want to quit in the course of self-adjusting, keep pressing “《”
key for more than 2S, till “AT” character in the SV screen disappears.
Attention: If user wants to use self-adjusting function again after first using, user
needs to set “CtrL” to be “2” to start it (more information please check “Parameter
Setting and Defining”). The parameter values of adjusting control are not the same at
the different setting temperatures, so please execute self-adjustment at the most
common setting value of the system. If the setting values change often, user can
modulate with the median.
7. Parameter Setting and Defining
After power-on, keep pressing the “SET” key for more than 2S to enter setting mode. User
can use “︽”Key（or“︾”Key）to set the value. After finishing, press “SET” key to confirm
and enter next function setting. PV/SV screen will be in normal display after setting.
Note: If there are modified operations in setting mode, the instrument will save current
value automatically after no operation for more than 10 seconds, and return to normal
status.

User-defined Parameter: In the process of setting parameters, the display modes of
last eight parameters are difference from the previous. PV screen displays prompt EP1 -
EP8, SV screen displays various prompts of technical parameters Setting (e.g. HiAL, LoAL,
dHAL and so on). Press “︽”Key（or“︾”Key）, The technical parameters in SV screen will
be listed in proper order as the above parameters table. After that, press “SET” key
confirm and enter next setting. “none” needs to be set if user don’t need to use the user-
defined parameter. Press “SET” key to set these 8 user-defined parameters till all to be set,
and then return to normal status.
Datalock (LOC): When the setting values of LOC are not “2”, “40” or “808”, the
instrument only allows to set 0-8 self-defined parameters and LOC parameters themselves.
User can set all parameters only when setting LOC value is “2”, “40” or “808”. Details are
as follows:
Loc=0，Temperature setting value and EP1-EP8 can be revamped.
Loc=1，Data can not be revamped, only can be checked.(Except LOC parameters)
