Device address in the network for communication with Sitrad software application.
Warning: it is not allowed to have more than one device with the same address in a network.
5. AUTOTUNING
The AutoPID plus uses the Critical Period method to calculate automatically its PID parameters. This
method consists in making the system temperature oscillate around the setpoint so that the necessary
data can be collected to adjust the controller. The user must input two parameters for the method to work
properly: Temperature Hysteresis (F09) and Output Amplitude (F08). Both parameters must be chosen
to permit a recognizable oscillation around the setpoint. The autotuning operation time will vary for each
response from the system. Systems with a bigger cooling/heating capacity will have quicker responses
and the autotuning function will finish the data collection quicker.
The method for starting the autotuning can be configured in the function F11 and may operate in the
following modes:
Manual activation: The autotuning can be activated either through the controller keyboard or through
®
the Sitrad software.
When activating the automatic control: The autotuning will be executed every time the controller
enters the automatic control mode (PID).
Temperature not steady: The autotuning will be executed every time the temperature does not
stabilize inside the time period programmed in the function F12.
When activating the automatic control and the temperature is not steady: The autotuning will be
executed every time the controller enters in the autotuning mode and when the temperature does not
stabilize inside the time period programmed in the function F12.
If an error occurs during the system data collection, the controller will interrupt the autotuning and emit
an alarm with the message
. Then it returns to the operation mode set before the autotuning
activation.

6.4 - Canceling the active alarms
Press the
key shortly to cancel the indication of current active alarms. After pressing the key, the
message is displayed and all the current active alarms will be deactivated.
6.5 - Autotuning manual activation/deactivation
You can activate or deactivate the PID parameter autotuning by holding the
seconds. The
message will be displayed followed by the
(for deactivating). When manually activating the autotuning, its starting conditions described in
item 5 will not be tested.
7 - DISPLAY MESSAGES
Low temperature alarm
High temperature alarm
Autotuning error
Indicates that the instrument is operating in a permanent state.
Indicates the autotuning was not completed after 12 hours.
Indicates an error occurred in the parameter calculation during the autotuning.
Indicates an error occurred in the temperature reading during the automatic control.
Temperature sensor disconnected or out of range

CONNECTION BLOCK
It is used to connect more than one controller to the Interface. The wire connections must be made as follows: Terminal A of the
controller connect to terminal A of the connection block, which in turn, must be connected to terminal A of the Interface. Repeat the
procedure for terminals B and , being the cable screen.
IMPORTANT
According to the chapters from the IEC60364 standard:
1: Install protectors against over voltage on power supply
2: Sensor cables and computer signals can be together, however not at the same place where power
supply and load wires pass for
3: Install suppresor of transient in parallel to loads to increase the usefull life of the relays

questions, please contact Full Gauge Controls.
Products manufactured by Full Gauge Controls, as of May 2005, have a warranty period of 10
(ten) years directly with the factory and 01 (one) year with accredited resellers, starting from the
date of the consigned sale that appears on the tax receipt. After this year with resellers, the
warranty will continue to be in force if the instrument is sent directly to Full Gauge Controls. This
period is valid for the Brazilian market. Other countries have a warranty of 2 (two) years. Products
are warranted in the event of manufacturing failure that makes them unsuitable or inadequate for
their intended applications. The warranty is limited to the maintenance of instruments
manufactured by Full Gauge Controls, disregarding other types of expenses, such as indemnity
due to damage caused to other equipment.
The Warranty does not cover shipping and/or insurance costs for shipping products with
indications of defect or malfunction to Technical Support. Also, the following events are not
covered: natural wear of parts, external damage caused by falls, or improper packaging of
products.
The product will lose the warranty automatically if:
- Failure to follow the instructions for use and assembly contained in the technical description
and the installation procedures contained in Standard NBR5410;
- It is subjected to conditions beyond the limits specified in its technical description;
- It is tampered with or repaired by a person not on Full Gauge's technical team;
- Damage is caused by falling, hitting and/or impact, water infiltration, overload and/or
atmospheric discharge.
In order to receive the warranty, the customer must send the duly packaged product, along
with the corresponding purchase Tax Receipt, to Full Gauge Controls. The shipping charge of the
products is at the customer's expense. It is also necessary to send as much information as
possible regarding the detected defect, thus enabling faster analysis, testing and execution of the
service.
These processes and the eventual maintenance of the product will only be carried out by Full
Gauge Controls Technical Assistance, at the Company's headquarters - Rua Júlio de Castilhos
250 - CEP 92120-030 - Canoas - Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil.
