Once the
RUN
button has been pressed, the heating process will start, as
described in paragraph 1.1, chapter 1. The heating process consists of three
subsequent periods: the heating period, curing period and cool-down period. So, first
heating period starts, fig. 3.2.3.1

- Heating period
Figure 3.2.3.1 Display contents during the heating period
During the heating process the heating plate and thus the ferrule/plug
cassette is constantly heated. The actual temperature of the heating process is
shown on LCD. Pressing the STOP button can interrupt this period. Otherwise, the
temperature rise will continue until it reaches the preset parameter. Then, the curing
period follows, fig. 3.2.3.2
- Curing period
Figure 3.2.3.2 Display contents during the curing period
During this period, the temperature should remain stable (within +/-
2°C)

.
Elapsed time is shown on the LCD display in bottom line. Please note that the button
below is without the function now, see fig. 3.2.3.2. As soon as the elapsed time
reaches the preset parameter, the cure is finished. This is announced by a long
audible beep in order to warn the operator that the cure period is over. From this
point forward, the temperature starts decreasing continuously.

Temperature shown on this figure is an example only. The operator will observe the continual increase in actual
temperature.

When the temperature reaches its preset value during the heating period, temperature overrun by more than
+2°C may occur at the beginning of the curing period. This is caused by accumulating the excessive heat in the
heating plate.
