Small value can improve control accuracy.
For SSR output, generally 0.5 to 3 seconds.
For Relay output, generally 15 to 40 seconds, because small value will
cause the frequent On-Off of mechanical switch and shorten its service

The value of FIL will determine the ability of filtering noise.
When a large value is set, the measurement input is stabilized but the
response speed is slow. Generally, it can be set to 1 to 3.
If great interference exists, then you can increase parameter FIL
gradually to make momentary fluctuation of measured value less than
2 to 5.
When the instrument is being metrological verified, FIL s can be set
to 0 or 1 to shorten the response time.
