3. Functionality description
MiniLCD is able to control with ON-OFF method or PID algorithm the temperature (see paragraph 7) and with mode ON-OFF the incubation humidity.
At power on, a welcome message will appear briefly followed by firmware version of the board.
MiniLCD will prompt the current temperature and by pressing the arrow UP or DOWN the relative humidity.
By pressing the SET button you can modify the temperature and humidity value already set.
In case temperature or humidity probe fail, or in case one of them isn't connected, in the relative visual mode will prompt ERR and the output will
not controlled. MiniLCD has in addition two different menus, one for the user, where you can customize the basic functions, and one technical that
permit to setup the machine and adjust the probe.
During start-up, menu for setting the type of temperature control.
4. User setup
After you turn-on MiniLCD by pressing the

you can change the set temperature.
• T. incubazione [5 .. 75] (default 30.0) - This parameter define the temperature that the machine must be maintened during the incubation period.
The range of values you can set is between 5 and 75 °C or equivalent in F.
You can save the value by pressing the

parameter pressing
or
• Umidità incubazione [10 .. 99] (default 40) - This parameter allows you to set the relative humidity to be maintained during the incubation period.
The range of values that can be set in this field is between 10% and 99%.
After editing the values MiniLCD automatically exits the edit menu if no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds by saving the value shown.
5. Technical setup

MiniLCD will exit automatically after 15 seconds if no keys are pressed by saving the value shown.
List of parameters showed by pressing
• Unit [C,F] (default °C) - Setting the temperature units Celsius or Fahrenheit
• t.CAL [-3,0 .. +3,0 °C] (default 0,0 – step di 0,1 °C)
t.CAL [-5,4 .. +5,4 F] (default 0,0 – step di 0,1 F) - It allows to calibrate the temperature read by the probe, in Celsius or Fahrenheit depending on
the setting assigned at the previus point.
• H.Cal [-5 .. +5] (default 0 – step di 1%) - It allows to calibrate the humidity value read by the probe.
6. Control mode temperature
By pressing simultaneously
• Controllo [PID,v ON-OFF] (default PID) Allow you to select the type of temperature control.
• PID = Control PID
• ON-OFF= Control ON-OFF
