Auto-tuning
Auto-tune automatically sets PID parameters for your system.
1. Press . and , for three seconds.
2. You'll see [`Aut].
3. Press and hold ß, then select [`YES] with . or ,. [tune] will flash to indicate auto-tun-
ing. Display reverts to normal after auto-tuning.
4. [`Aut] = [``no] stops auto-tuning.

Manual Tuning
For optimum performance, tune the Series 935A to your thermal system. The settings here are for a
broad spectrum of applications; your system may have different requirements.
Tune heating outputs at a set point above ambient temperature.
Tune cooling outputs at a set point below ambient temp.
1. Apply power to the 935A and enter a set point.
In the Operations Menu, [`Aut] must = [``no].
Begin with these Configuration Menu settings:
[Pb`h = [```1], [``1t] = [`000], [``dE] = [`000],
[Ct`h] = [`%0]], [`CAL] = [```0].
2. Proportional Band Adjustment: Gradually increase [Pb`h] until the upper display temp. stabilizes
at a constant value.
3. Integral Adjustment: Gradually decrease [``It] from 30.00 until the display temperature begins to
oscillate or “hunt.” Then slowly increase [``It] until the upper display stabilizes again near set
point.
4. Cycle Time Adjustment: Set [Ct`h] as required. Faster cycle times sometimes achieve the best
system control. However, if a mechanical contactor or solenoid is switching power to the load, a
longer cycle time will minimize wear on relays.
5. Derivative Adjustment: Increase [``dE] to 0.10 minute. Then raise set point by 20° to 30°F, or 11°
to 17°C. Observe approach to set point. If load temperature overshoots, increase [``dE] by 0.50
minute. Raise set point by 20 to 30°F, or 11 to 17°C and watch approach again. Repeat until sys-
tem rises to new set point appropriately.
6. Calibration Offset Adjustment: Enter the [`CAL] offset value you want. Calibration offset adds or
subtracts degrees from the value of the input signal.
