See link below for a video on how to program profiles into the Watlow F4T control using the touch screen, and using Watlow Composer software.
Below is a transcript of the video.
Watlow F4T Profile Programming.
There are two ways to enter profiles into the F4T control.
The first is directly from the control touch screen display.
The second is by using the Watlow Composer software.
We will cover both methods in this video.
For both methods we will enter the same short sample profile, with 1 minute ramp up to 200. 1 minute soak. 120 deg per minute ramp down with cooling on. And an end step, with the end of cycle relay on.
Profile Entry by touch screen display.
From the home screen, press Profile Actions.
Press Create Profile.
Touch the Profile name.
Press backspace to clear the existing name.
Enter the new name, then press enter.
For this example, we will use profile 1.
Press the Guaranteed Soak Deviation value.
Guaranteed Soak Deviation when turned on in a step, will put the profile in a hold condition, if the process value deviates from the setpoint by more than the Guaranteed Soak Deviation value
Press Clear, then enter the desired Guaranteed Soak value.
Press enter.

Select Ramp Rate.
Enter a target setpoint of 80.
