Frequently Asked Questions

What process is Soft Start best suited for?

It is ideal for processes requiring careful, exact, and slow heating of product, such as those in the Thermo-Plastics industry.

What types of sensors can I use with this controller?

The unit accepts thermocouple inputs (Type K, J, B, T, E, R, N, C) and RTD inputs (PT100Ω).

How do I maintain stable and precise control quickly?

Use the One-touch Auto Tuning feature for quick setup of stable and precise PID control.

What operating modes are available if I want to manually adjust output?

You can use Manual mode to override automatic control, allowing you to drive the controller output higher or lower.
