Setting up the Controller
Before using the controller (or during its lifetime) certain parameters may have to be
set, depending on specific requirements. To do this the controller must be set to
supervisor level (Level 2).
4.6.1
Maximum Output Power
Press scroll
until the display shows OP.HI <OUTPUT HIGH>. Use the up
and down
keys to select the output power required as a percentage. Once the setting is made,
turn the instrument switch off and on to power cycle the temperature controller.
Depending on the furnace or oven model, the maximum output power setting OP.Hi
may be accessible or locked.
For silicon carbide heated furnaces, the parameter is accessible to allow compensation
for element ageing.
In many models the maximum output power setting depends on the supply voltage, see
section 11.0.
4.6.2
Customer ID
A furnace or oven identification number can be entered if required. This maybe used to
identify one of many units for production or quality control systems.
Press scroll
until the display shows ID <CUSTOMER ID>. Use the up
and down
keys to enter your own identification number. This can range from 1-9999.
4.6.3
Units
Press scroll
until the display shows UNITS <DISPLAY UNITS>. Use the up
or
down
keys to select the required units.
