4.1 Konec nadzorne ploščeview
Familiarize yourself with the front panel controls and displays:

Image 4.1: Front panel and display indicators of the CONTIA TC3-701T.
- Temperature Display (SV): Prikazuje trenutno izmerjeno temperaturo.
- Time Display (ST): Shows the current remaining time or set time.
- Output Indication (OUT): Illuminates when the control output is active.
- Celsius/Fahrenheit (°C/°F): Indicates the temperature unit.
- Self-tuning (AT): Illuminates when the auto-tuning function is active.
- Countdown (AL): Illuminates when an alarm condition is met or countdown is active.
- Gumb TEMP: Uporablja se za vstop v način nastavitve temperature.
- Gumb TIME: Uporablja se za vstop v način nastavitve časa.
- Puščice gor/dol: Uporablja se za prilagajanje vrednosti v načinih nastavitev.
4.2 Nastavitev temperature
- Pritisnite TEMP button. The temperature display (SV) will flash.
- Uporabite Up in Dol arrow buttons to adjust the desired set temperature.
- Pritisnite TEMP button again to confirm and exit the setting mode. The display will return to showing the current temperature.
4.3 Čas nastavitve
- Pritisnite ČAS button. The time display (ST) will flash.
- Uporabite Up in Dol arrow buttons to adjust the desired set time.
- Pritisnite ČAS button again to confirm and exit the setting mode. The display will return to showing the current time or countdown.
4.4 Self-Tuning (AT) Function
The self-tuning function automatically calculates optimal PID parameters for your specific heating system. To activate:
- Ensure the desired temperature is set.
- Pritisnite in držite TEMP button for approximately 3 seconds until the AT indikator sveti.
- The controller will cycle through heating and cooling to determine the optimal parameters. This process may take some time.
- Ko je dokončan, AT indicator will turn off, and the controller will operate with the newly optimized PID settings.
5. Vzdrževanje
To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your controller:
- Čiščenje: Wipe the front panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Pregled: Občasno preverite, ali so priključki ožičenja ohlapni ali poškodovani.
- Okolje: Keep the controller in a clean, dry environment, free from excessive dust or vibrations.
6. Odpravljanje težav
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Krmilnik se ne vklopi | Ni napajanja; napačna ožičenje | Check power connections (Terminals 8 & 9); ensure power source is active. |
| Temperature reading is inaccurate or 'HHHH'/'LLLL' displayed | Thermocouple faulty; incorrect thermocouple type; wiring error | Verify K-type thermocouple is correctly connected (Terminals 3 & 4); replace faulty thermocouple. |
| Heating element not activating | Output wiring error; set temperature not reached; faulty heating element | Check heating plate wiring (Terminals 10 & 11); ensure set temperature is above current temperature; test heating element. |
| Self-tuning (AT) does not complete | System too slow or unstable; incorrect wiring | Ensure the heating system is functional; check all wiring; try manual PID tuning if auto-tuning consistently fails. |
