Series C Controller Configuration and Operation Manual
3-2  Athena Controls, Inc. 900M050U00
3.2 Quick Instructions
The instructions below guide you through the minimum tasks needed to configure the
controller for PID control. Unless you change the value of a configuration parameter, the
controller will use the factory defaults. The parameters modified using the instructions
below are only a few of the parameters available to customize the controller’s operation
for your application.
If you want to learn about all the parameters available, read Sections 4 through 14.
Sections 5 through 14 also contain the default values for all configuration parameters in
every menu.
1. Put the controller in standby mode.
a) Apply power.
b) After self-check display stops, press and hold the key (approximately three
seconds) until CtrLCtrL is displayed on the top line and the current mode on the
lower line.
c) Press the or key until StbYStbY is displayed.
d) Press the key again. The display will show StbYStbY alternating with the
process value on the top line. The setpoint will be displayed on the lower line.
2. Specify the input type, unless the factory setting will be used.

a) Press and hold the key until InPInP is displayed on the top line (approximately
three seconds). (If the name of a menu other than input is displayed, repeatedly
press the key until you see InPInP.

)
b) When InPInP is displayed, press the key once to make tYPEtYPE appear on the
lower line. The choice that is currently stored in the controller’s database for this
parameter will alternate with the display of tYPE.tYPE.
c) Use the or key to step through the list of choices until the desired input
type is on display. (If the type you plan to choose is different from the input
category specified when you ordered the controller, refer to Section 5 to see if
you must recalibrate and/or change input jumper settings.)
17
The input type is set at the factory to match the calibration type specified when the controller was
ordered. The factory setting for each calibration type is shown in 5.5.1. If you change the input type from
the factory setting, you may also have to change the input jumper settings. See 5.3 for details.
18
If you do not see InPInP when you access the menus (or do not see tYPEtYPE first in the input menu),
someone has accessed the menu system since the controller was powered up. At power up the menus
are displayed in the sequence shown on page 2-5. However, once you enter and leave the menu
system, the controller “remembers” where you left. When you next access the menus, the menu
parameter that was displayed when you left (or were timed out) will again be displayed. Repeatedly
pressing the key will cycle through the menus. Repeatedly pressing the key while a menu name
is on display will cycle through the parameters within the menu.
