General Operation
Temperature Controller
The bath is operable within the temperature range given in the specifications. For
protection against solid-state relay failure or other circuit failure, a bi-me tallic cutout
automatically turns off the heater anytime the bath temperature exceeds the maximum
temperature.
The controller allows the operator to set the bath temperature with high resolu tion,
adjust the proportional band, monitor the heater output power, and pro gram the
controller configuration and calibration parameters. The controller may be operated
in temperature units of degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. The controller is operated and
programmed from the front control panel using the four key switches and digital LED
display. The controller is equipped with a serial RS-232 digital interface for remote
operation. Operation of the controller using the front control panel is discussed in
Section 9. Operation using the digital interfaces is discussed in Section 10.
When the controller is set to a new set-point the bath heats or cools to the new
temperature. Once the new temperature is reached the bath usually takes 15 – 20
minutes for the temperature to settle and stabilize. There may be a small over shoot or
undershoot.
