(At) 
See Page 19 of Chapter 3 for instructions on how 
to Auto-Tune your dryer. 
Note: 
Although the 
controller is calibrated at the factory, 
the manufacturer recommends that the 
unit be Auto-Tuned prior to dryer 
startup. 
 
Temperature Input 
Shift Mode (TnS) 
This setting is used to offset an error between the 
set point and the actual temperature.  The entire 
input range is shifted by a set figure 
preprogrammed by the operator. 
 Proportional 
Band 
Mode (P) 
This setting controls the amount in which the 
manipulated variable (MV) is proportionate to the 
deviated value or controller error. 
 Integral 
Time 
Mode (I) 
Setting this feature, gives the control an action that 
is proportionate to the time integral of the control 
error.  By using this setting, proportional action is 
used in combination with integral action to offset 
the control error and the set point will begin to 
match the control temperature (PV or process 
value). 
 Derivative 
Time 
Mode (d) 
Setting the derivative control provides the 
controller with the ability to correct for a future 
error in the previously set process output.
