2. APPLICATION
• Freezing and heating chambers The value for this parameter is calculated automatically at the end of autotuning by using Ti and Td
• Refrigeration plants parameters according to the formula above.
• Set of compressors etc.

- Power Supply: 90 to 264Vac (50/60 Hz) noise from the temperature sensor. When you reduce this parameter value, you increase the immunity
- Controlled Temperature: -50 to 100°C (with resolution of 0.1°C) to noise.
- Indication Accuracy: 0.1°C between -10 and 100°C
and 1°C for the rest of the scale
- Controlling Accuracy: 0.1°C for the whole scale Control type
- Proportional Outputs: Voltage output: 0~10Vdc 5mA Indicates the process type that the controller will operate.
PWM:Adjustable period 5mA Cooling
- Alarm Output: 5(3)A250Vac 1/8HP Heating
- Dimensions: 71 x 28 x 71mm
- Operation temperature: 0 to 50°C Output amplitude for autotuning
- Operation humidity: 10 to 90% RH (without condensation) Initial amplitude of the signal to be applied in the proportional output during the autotuning stage.
4. CONFIGURATION This value is recalculated automatically by the controller during the autotuning and it must be chosen so
4.1 - Setpoint adjustment that the system can distinguish the temperature oscillation around the setpoint and the hysteresis.
Press SET for 2 seconds until it displays and then release the key. The operation temperature you
set is displayed. Use and keys to change this value and press SET to configure the new value Temperature hysteresis for autotuning
when ready. This hysteresis is used together with the setpoint to control the temperature oscillation in the 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 Alarm power

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 For a current higher than the specified value,

the Sitrad software. use a power relay for activating the alarm.
When activating the automatic control: The autotuning will be executed every time the controller
enters the automatic control mode (PID). Integrating Controllers, RS-485 Serial Interface and Computer
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.
