PID Controller

All programming functions of the PID controller have been preset by LW Scientific, and the temperature has been
preset to 98.6°F (37°C). There are many complicated programming functions built into the PID controller, which should
not be altered by the customer. The only two functions that may need to be adjusted by the customer are “Set Tem­perature” and “Change from Fahrenheit to Celsius” as described below. For any questions about altering other
programming, please contact the LW Scientific technical support department at 800-726-7345 (770-270-1394).
