7.1 Start running.
After the controller has been mounted to the control panel and wiring is completed, it can be started
in the following manner.
(1) Turn the power supply to the JCL-33A ON.
For approx. 3s after the power is switched ON, the sensor input character and the temperature unit
are indicated on the PV/SV display. See (Table 5-1) on page 8.
During this time, all outputs and LED indicators are in OFF status.
After that, control starts indicating the following depending on the controller status.
• Fixed value control status
Control starts indicating memory number on the MEMO/STEP display and input value or main setting
value (SV) on the PV/SV display. (If PV indication is selected during PV/SV indication selection, input
value is indicated. If SV indication is selected during PV/SV indication selection, main setting value
is indicated.)
• Program control standby status
The MEMO/STEP display is turned off, and the PV/SV display indicates input value or " ".
