MAXIMUM/PERCENT HIGH SUBMENU:
Specify in percent, the maximum value (99) for control output. If the output is
time proportional (Relay, SSR, or Pulse), then the maximum duty-cycle, in
percent, is specified.

Example: On an Analog Output of 0~10 Vdc, a setting of %LO = 10 and %HI = 90,
cause the minimum on the control output to be 1 V and the maximum on the
control output to be 9 V. The same setting on a time proportional output, will
cause 10% duty cycle for the minimum control output and 90% duty cycle for
maximum control output. To disable %LO/HI, set LO to 00 and HI to 99. If
%LO/HI
is at other values than the default (%LO = 00, %HI = 99),
SOAK
is disabled.

The ON/OFF control is a coarse way of controlling the process. The “Dead
Band” improves the cycling associated with the On/Off control. The PID control is
best for processes where the set point is continuously changing and/or a tight
control of the process variable is required. PID control requires tuning and
adjustment of the "Proportional", "Integral or Reset" and "Derivative or Rate"
terms by a trial-and-error method. The instrument provides an "Auto Tuning"
feature making the tuning process automatic, possibly optimum.
ACTION TYPE SUBMENU:
The error that results from the measurement of the Process Variable may be
positive or negative since it may be greater or smaller than the Setpoint. If a
positive error should cause the instrument output to increase (i.e. cooling), it would
be called Direct Acting. If a negative error should cause the output to increase
(i.e. heating), it would be called Reverse Acting.
