INTRODUCTION
This INTRODUCTION section provides an overview of the
Watlow 1500 controller. The microprocessor based
controller is capable of measuring, displaying and
controlling temperature and humidity from a variety of
inputs.
The controller is easy to use. Control functions, alarm
settings and other parameters are easily entered through
the front keypad. Limited data can be protected from
unauthorized changes with its guarded access mode
security system. Battery back-up protects against data
loss during AC power outages.
In this application the controller has been factory
configured to control temperature and humidity conditions
in your Despatch chamber. Under normal conditions, you
should not have to reprogram this controller. We have,
however, included reprogramming instructions in this
manual to help guide you through that process if it should
become necessary.
NOTE:
Your control has already
been configured at
Despatch. Use this manual
as a guide to typical settings.
CAUTION:
Before making changes to
your control, consult with
Despatch Industries Product
Service at 1-800-473-7373.

Profile Mode
This section of the manual provides details on programming
the Watlow 1500 in the Change Data (CHG DATA) mode,
the Change Parameters (CHG PARA) mode and Guarded
Access. Refer to the Watlow 1500 manual for more details.
Change Data Mode
When the Watlow CHG DATA LED is lit, the processor is in
the change data mode. While in this mode, the
programming steps can be entered into the processor.
There are three step types:
CSet Point (SP)
CJump Loop (JL)
CWait (WT)
Halt Conditions
The Watlow 1500 can HALT in three ways, when the:
Cprocessor encounters a Blank Step in the program,
CRUN/HALT key is pressed while the program is
running,
Cremote hold input is shorted.
While in the HALT condition, the Watlow 1500 actively
maintains set points and event output conditions which
existed at the time the processor was halted.
If you do not want the hot or humid conditions to be retained
at the end of a programmed halt, add a step just before the
Blank Step [End of Program] to establish stand-by set points
near ambient with all Event Outputs OFF.
Page 14Despatch/Watlow 1500 Control Instruction Manual
Blank Step
Any unprogrammed step is first a Blank Step before
information entered makes it a Set Point, Jump Loop or Wait
Step.
In normal programming, only the last step in the program
remains a Blank Step. A Blank Step halts the processor. If,
however, the RECYCLE option was selected in the CHG
PARA mode, the program will return to Step #01 and repeat.
When programming a HAST chamber, a Blank Step is not
used. A Jump Step is used to jump over blank steps to
ensure the program will not stop until reaching steps 47-51
required for cooldown and shutdown.
Set Point Step
The existing start conditions for each step depend upon the
programmed step previously performed by the Watlow 1500.
The desired end conditions for each step are also
programmed.
During any set point step, the Watlow 1500 follows a linear
path between the existing start conditions and the desired
end conditions. When programming set points in the
Watlow 1500, it is important to keep track of the ramping
conditions at the start of a step and at the end of a step.
To clear a step:
1.Place the controller in halt by pressing the RUN/HALT
key until RUN/HALT LED is lit.
2.Place the controller in the desired step to be cleared.
3.Press the CLEAR pushbutton.

Wait Steps
The Wait (WT) submode allows the Watlow 1500 to wait for:
CChannel 1 and/or Channel 2 actual process inputs,
Cthe real time of day (not elapsed time as in set point
steps).
You can wait for one or two of these conditions, or all of
them. If you don't need one wait condition, just press the
FCTN key and the next Wait prompt will appear. By doing
this the particular wait function will remain blank and be
ignored.

When waiting for Time, program all three units (HR-MN-SC).
If you program only 53 for minutes, but enter nothing for
Hours or Seconds, the programmed time will be 53 minutes
after midnight, 00 53 00.
If you press ENTER when WH, WM or WS is shown, you
could end up waiting for midnight when you wanted wait for
time ignored.2
A Wait Step maintains the same set points and event output
conditions that existed at the end of the previous step. To
establish new set point values, place a short (1 second) step
containing the conditions you wish to achieve immediately
before the Wait Step.
Page 20Despatch/Watlow 1500 Control Instruction Manual
Wait Steps (Cont.)
The Wait Step does not allow the linear ramping path to
reach the new conditions, as a Set Point Step does. To
optimize control (reduce the overshoot and undershoot), a
Wait Step uses the PID Parameters to satisfy the wait
condition. In other words, select the step type which best
matches your needs.
Next Step
The Next step (NX) step is used to select the program step.
After the final prompt in each of the step types (SP, JL or
WT), pressing ENTER advances the processor to NX. At
the same time the STEP display will advance by one.
Pressing ENTER again will bring up SP, JL or WT if the next
step has no programmed information. If there is data in the
subsequent step, the processor will move to the first prompt
in that submode.
If you want a different step from NX, select the number of
the step you want in the DATA display with the > key and ?
key, then press ENTER. Again, the processor will move to
one of the three step types if the step is blank, or to the first
prompt in the step type loop: S1, JS or W1.
Pressing FCTN at NX instead of ENTER will send the
processor back to the initial prompt in the current step.
Recycle Option
You may request that your program repeat indefinitely by
selecting RC=1 in the GA=5 area of the CHG PARA mode.
With the Recycle option active, you may expect to see
continuous activity as the program sequence repeats.
However, if your Step #1 is programmed as a Wait Step, the
processor will be waiting for a time or actual condition and
no action will be taking place.

Write Your Program
The number of steps in the program may be as many as 51.
We suggest that you write it out on copies of the charts in
this section. This will enable you to program the Series
1500 quickly and without mistakes. This Programming
Chart will provide you with a back-up copy of your entire

Ecosphere Sample Program
The sample program on the following page is provided to
demonstrate the function of the unit. It is pre-programmed in
the factory and available for you to run upon installation of
your chamber. If the program has been cleared somehow,
you may wish to re-enter it as programming practice.
Table 9 Despatch Sample Program
StepDescription
1Set points of 25EC and 95% RH entered for S1 and S2. Event 1.1 is on. This
enables the humidity control system. This step is held for 10 minutes so that the
humidity system has sufficient time to fill up with water.
2
3No change in set points (S1 or S2) or events (E1 or E2). Therefore, control will act
4
S1 is changed to 40EC. S2, E1 and E2 are left blank by pressing the FCTN key
when those functions are displayed. In a set point step, blank data defaults to
previous settings, so S2 = 95, E1 = 0001, and E2 = 0000. Since Step #1 was the
previous step, by doing this if you wished to change S2 to 85% throughout the
program you only have to change it on Step #1. The step duration is 30 minutes.
Since the previous set point was 25E, the process set point will be ramped continuously from 25E to 40E over the 30 minute span.
to hold 40EC and 95% for 30 minutes.
S1 is set back to 25EC. It is ramped from 40EC over 30 minute period.
5Again, a hold for 30 minutes.
6S1 is changed to -10EC. This is ramped over a 1 second period so it is
essentially a step change. Note Event 1.1 is turned off. To protect the
equipment, humidity control generally needs to be disabled when below
freezing.
7The control is set to wait for the CH-1 process to reach -8. All other waits
are blank so they will be ignored. Do not type zeros into wait functions that
are to be ignored. This is caused by pressing the ENTER key instead of the
FCTN key when you scroll past the function you wish to ignore. The above
is the most typical problem encountered in a wait-for-step.
8Another hold for 30 minutes.
9This is a jump to Step #2. Steps 2-8 will be repeated.
10Set points are changed to 25EC and 60%, a normal condition, before
program is ended.
11
Is a blank step (SP when viewed in CHG DATA mode). Program execution
will end here.
