System Instructions

Your Lynx

Temperature Control System supplies a complete network of temperature control by providing each system an Operator Interface Panel and

PID Control Module to each heater. A Lynx

Module is a compact PID temperature controller with RTD, J-Type, or K-Type Thermocouple feedback. The

Lynx

Operator Interface Panel acts as a Global Programming Master for 1—8 heater strings with up to 128 Lynx

Modules per string and 1024 heaters

per OI. This unit displays user configurable graphical mapping, custom naming, and sending email alerts via hard wire CAT-5 connection or WIFI

networking. These are just some of the features that the LYNX OI provides that help with complete system control and optimization for heating

applications. This manual will provide information on these features and other advanced configurations for using the Lynx Temperature Control System.

For successful operation of this system, please read these instructions prior to use.
