NOTE In general, for those locations that observe DST: DST begins at 2:00 am on the first Sunday in April. DST ends at 2:00 am on the last Sunday in October. See “http://deil.lang.uiuc.edu/web.pages/holidays/DST.html for exceptions. 8. Touch Apply. 6-2-2-5. Time And Date Setup 1.
6-3. Operation 1. Energize IH/TS and power source. A coolant flow error should appear on the IH/TS display. Energize the cooler and the error will clear from the display. 2. Set up Temperature Profile − per code requirements (see Section 6-3-2 Programming The 2408 Controller).
6-3-1. 2408 Controller The 2408 controller in the IH/TS provides a means of establishing a heat profile for heating or stress relieving as dictated by “code” requirements, and controls the power source to meet the programmed profile. The 2408 controller has several screens (main and sub-menu) that are used to monitor status and program the control.
6-3-2. Programming The 2408 Controller Identify the “code” requirements for the heat treat. For Preheat program refer to Figure 6-1. For Postweld stress relief program refer to Figure 6-2. For a complex stress relief program (multiple temperature rise and cool rates) refer to Figure 6-3. Use worksheet in Figure 6-4 to help prepare either a pre- or post-heat temperature profile.

6-3-3. Batch Recording Using 5100 Digital Recorder The batch file generated by the recorder will consist of: GroupDescriptor~BatchName~TimeDateStamp.uhh The default Group Descriptor is set to “Group”. This setting may be changed to something that relates to the application (i.e. Company, Contract, or Project name). To change the Group Descriptor, proceed as follows: 1.
6-3-3-3. Stop Recording 1. Touch the block with the batch name. 2. Touch “Stop”. 3. Touch “Close” − screen returns to the home screen and displays “No Batch In Progress”. NOTE If a batch file was not started, the temperature data is still recorded. The Job# (Batch Name), User, Comments, and Recorder ID are not recorded.
10. Click on “Yes” to restart the computer and have changes take effect. 6-3-3-5-4. Downloading Files From Recorder 1. Connect a crossover cable between the IH/TS recorder and the PC (a crossover cable is a special network cable with pins 2 and 3 reversed on one end).
3. Click on “Instrument”, “File Services”. 4. Click on “Generic”. 5. Enter user name: “user” (leave password field blank). 6. Click on “OK”. 7. Right click on desired files and transfer them following the procedures in Sections 6-3-6 and 6-3-7. 6-3-3-5-5.
6-3-4. Running A Program To Preheat Or Stress Relief To start the Heat Treat operation, proceed as follows: Press the “RUN” button − The blue “Heat On” light turns on and the power source energizes. The power source parameters are displayed on the “Parameter Display”. The controller flashes “Hold”...
1) If the current temperature is more than 105 F above the target temperature in segment 1, the IH/TS will not require output from the power source. The blue Heat On light will be on and power source will not provide output. (Providing the Panel/Remote switch on the power source is in the remote position.)
6-3-6. Viewing Data In Review Software 6-3-6-1. Installing Review Software And First Time Setup Insert the “Chessell 5000 Series Data Management System” CD into the computer. If the installation program does not automatically start, browse to the CD using “My Computer” and run “Setup.exe”.
There are three files used to produce a chart in Review software as follows: 1. The .uhh file contains the actual temperature data downloaded from the recorder. 2. The c:\Program Files\Eurotherm\Review\Review.erv file contains a copy of the original data and any annotations added in the Review software.

Turn off IHTS power switch. Turn on IHTS power switch while touching when touched, but does not screen, and continue to touch screen (about 45 seconds) until configuration display appears on the screen.
If +24 volts dc is not present, consult power source Owner’s Manual for troubleshooting. Connect 14-pin control cable to power source. Check for +24 volts dc between pins A and D at IH/TS end of cable. If +24 volts dc is not present, replace 14-pin control cable.
