12 Watlow Series 935B User’s Manual
The Series 935B Operations Menu is the first menu you encounter when you press the .and ,keys simultane-
ously for three seconds. The Operations Menu provides a location to initiate the following actions or complete the
following tasks:
• Auto-tune [`Aut]:Start or stop the auto-tuning process. Auto-tuning selects a set of viable proportional, integral,
and derivative values for heat and/or cool output.
• Alarm Points, [`ALO] and [`Ah ]:Select the values for the high alarm point and the low alarm point. Alarm points,
dependent on sensor type high and low ranges, reside in the Operations Menu for easy access.
• Timer Countdown Time [tMr]:Select a countdown time value between 00:00 and 99:59 hours:minutes or
minutes:seconds. Time interval choices [thM] and [tMS] reside in the Configuration Menu for Output 2.
• Idle Set Point [ DLE]:[trAc] or an adjustable value between [``rL] and [``rh]. Choose to have the Idle Set
Point track [trAc], or equal, the Primary Set Point; or select an Idle Set Point value in °F or °C between the range
low [``rL] and range high [``rh] values. The Idle Set Point is active both before and after the timing sequence.
The normal or Primary Set Point controls during the timing sequence.
• Go to the PID Menu [`Pid]: Choose [`YES] to proceed to the PID Menu.
• Go to the Configuration Menu [CnFg]: Choose [`YES] to proceed to the Configuration Menu.
The table on the next page presents this information in graphic form.
NOTE: Not every prompt listed here or on p. 13 in the Operations Menu will appear in your unit. Prompts vary
with lockout function and output set-up. Whether or not prompts appear in the Operations Menu depends on
two features of the Series 935B:
•Lockout function; the Lockout Tag [`tAg] function masks prompts from view in the various menus. (If you cannot
see a prompt, you can make no change.) See Using Lockout Functions, p. 20, for more information.
•Output 1 and 2 Configuration; some outputs are mutually exclusive. For example, if Output 1 is Alarm, then Output 2
cannot be Timer. Therefore, the Operations menu will have no timer-related prompts. See the Valid Output Functions
Table, p. 5, or Setting Up Inputs and Outputs, p. 22.

Choosing a PID Setting Strategy
You may rely solely on the Auto-tune [`Aut] function (p. 34) and factory defaults to determine PID values for your
system, or you may use auto-tuning and additional manual adjustments. You must select dead band [``db] and
calibration offset [`CAL] values manually.
The Series 935B PID Menu is the first sub-menu you encounter after moving to the Operations Menu. The PID Menu
provides a software location to select the individual heat or cool proportional band, hysteresis, and cycle time values;
and the dead band, integral, derivative, and calibration offset values.
To go to the PID Menu:
1. Go first to the Operations Menu by pressing .and ,simultaneously for three seconds.
2. Scroll through the Operations Menu with ,until you see the [`Pid] prompt.
3. While pressing ßto display [``no], choose [`YES] with .or ,.
4. Release ß to see the first PID prompt.
NOTE: Access to the PID Menu and the prompts there varies with lockout function and output set-up. The PID
Menu is locked out when the 935B leaves the factory.
•Lockout function; the Lockout Tag [`tAg] function masks menus from view (if you cannot see a prompt, you can
make no change).
See Using Lockout Functions, p. 20.
•Output set-up; you must choose [hEAt] or [COOL] in either Output 1 or Output 2 to have access to the PID Menu.
With a [hEAt] only choice, [COOL] prompts are not visible, and vice versa.
See the Valid Output Functions Table, p. 5, or Setting Up Inputs and Outputs, p. 22.
NOTE: Proportional Band, Integral, Derivative, Dead Band, and Calibration Offset values are adjustable in
whole or tenth °F or °C, depending on input type [`` n] and [`C_F] Celsius/Fahrenheit Configuration Menu
choices.
Learn the PID Menu

Setting PID Menu Values
• Proportional Band, Heat and Cool [Pb`h] and [Pb`c]:Select a value (degrees) to set up band on either side (±)
of the Primary Set Point in which the heat and/or cool proportioning function(s) will be active.
For on/off control, set [Pb`h] or [Pb`c] = 0.
Range: 0 to 999°F/555°C, or 0.0 to 999.0°F/555.0°C
Default: 25°F/17°C, or 25.0°F/17.0°C
•Hysteresis, Heat and Cool [hYSh] and [hYSc]:For use with on/off control only. Select the value (degrees) for the
process variable change required to re-energize the control heat and/or cool output.
For ON/off control, set [Pb`h] or [Pb`c] = 0.
Range: 1 to 999°F/555°C, or 0.1 to 999.0°F/555.0°C
Default: 3°F/2°C, or 3.0°F/2.0°C
• Cycle Time, [Ct`h] and [Ct`c]:Select the value (seconds) required for the heat and/or cool output(s) to complete

Range: Switched dc/Solid State Relay: 0.1 to 60.0 seconds
Default: 5.0 seconds
Range: Electromechanical Relay: 5.0 to 60.0 seconds
Default: 30.0 seconds
• Dead Band [``db]:Dead Band adjusts the effective cool set point above the primary set point by the Dead Band
value in degrees. This creates a band between the heating and cooling proportional bands where only integral and
derivative activity will occur. For more information on Dead Band fine tuning, go to p. 35.
Range: 0 to 999°F/555°C, or 0.0 to 999.0°F/555.0°C
Default: 0°
• Integral [`` t]:Select a value (minutes/repeat) for the integral function. Integral is the inverse of Reset; It(value) =
1/Reset(value).
Range: 0.00 to 99.99 minutes/repeat
Default: 5.00 minutes/repeat
• Derivative [``dE]:Select a value (minutes) for the derivative function.
Range: 0.00 to 9.99 minutes
Default: 0.00 minutes
• Calibration Offset [`CAL]:Eliminates the difference between the displayed process temperature and the actual
process temperature value.
Range: -999 to 9999°F/C, or -99.9 to 999.9F/C
Default: 0°

20 Watlow Series 935B User’s Manual
Key Lockout Information
The Series 935B offers three different security, or “lockout,”options. Set up
one or all three lockout options in the Configuration Menu.
•Front Panel Lock [`FPL] uses an input for an external hardware switch;
it requires wiring, see p. 25. Choose Front Panel Lock [`FPL] from the
[`rts] choices.
•Choose Set Point Lock [SLOC] as the simplest lockout option. It locks
the Primary Set Point from change, but not from view.
•Choose the Security Tag [`tAG] as a means of masking the Series
935B software menus from view. By selecting all or part of the four-digit
binary acronym, [PCOA] (Proportional / Configuration / Operation / Auto-
tune), you can choose to mask those items from view, and therefore from
change. For example: In the Configuration Menu [`tAG] set-up, if you
can see the P, the operator cannot see the PID menu.
•Exceptions to [PCOA] [`tAG] are:
“C”does not lock out [`tAG] .
“O”does not lock out [CnFG] .
