CD101 PID Controller

Undocumented Settings / Features
The available documentation for this controller is poor. By playing with the configuration settings, I have discovered some useful but undocumented features. If anyone knows of more hidden features, please add them here.
Note: These settings apply to the FK02-VM*AN-NN. I haven't tested them on any other CD101 variants.
These settings can be accessed by holding SET and < at the same time for 3s, then setting Cod to 0000. More information is available in the 2nd user manual given above.
- SL 2 = 0000 sets the unit to display all temperatures in Celsius
- SL 2 = 0001 sets the unit to display all temperatures in Fahrenheit
- SL 6 = 0001 disables OUT2 (the relay output) and stops the audible clicking associated with it
Known Issues
- The STOP feature doesn't seem to work.
- Pressing the R/S button for 2 sec results in STOP being shown on the upper display, but the outputs continue to function. According to the documentation, outputs and alarms should be disabled in STOP mode. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. — jeff 01/12/2011 12:53
