Parameter
Value
Type
Resistive wire (nichrome: NiCrA – 80% Ni 20% Cr, 39 AWG,
53 ohms/foot)
Length/Lamp
~ 200 mm (7.87 inches)/lamp, 8 revolutions around each lamp,
resistance/wire = 36 ohms, total heater resistance = 6 ohms
Active temperature sensor
Monitor temperature sensor with the highest reading
Control
Duty cycle and maximum power time delay are stepped as shown
in Figures 15 and 16
Inverter enable
Inverter is enabled as shown in Figure 15.
If the temperature is below +10°C, inverter is turned off until the
lamps are heated.
Status indicator
Set the status indicator when the inverter is disabled. See “Heater
Operation and Over Heat Status Lines.” On page 25.
