Quick Start Guide 2. Press up to select level 2. After a short pause the display will show “Access Pass code”. 3. Press up or down to enter the pass code 9, Pass is momentarily displayed. After a short pause the display will return to home, the controller is now in level 2.
Quick Start Guide 4 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 2, see section 3.5. Maximum output power setting Press page ...
Programming 5 Programming Programming Notes Programs can be created in Level 1 or Level 2 of the 3508. For the P10 and P25, new programs can be created while the current program is running. To avoid unwanted heating at the end of a program, set the controller SP temperature to zero before running a program.
‘WaitVal’ set for that segment. * The fixed threshold used by deviation parameters is set in the configuration level of the programmer and if required should be requested when purchasing a furnace from Carbolite Gero. Program Cycling The Cycles parameter sets the number of times the program will run.
Programming Creating a Program From the home display, press page three times to get to the programming page, the display will show “ProgEdit 1”. Program number On P10 or P25 models press up or down to select a new program number. The display will show that new programs have only one segment.
Programming GoBack Cycles (visible only for GoBack segments) Press scroll until the display shows “GoBack Cycles”. Press up or down to set a value. Call Cycles (Visible only for call segments) Press scroll until the display shows “Call Cycles”. Press up or down to set a value. End Type (Visible only for End segments) Press scroll ...
Programming 5.10 Program Status While a program is running the home display shows 3 values: Top: Measured temperature Centre: Program setpoint (PSP) Bottom: Power output percentage To see more detail: Press page once to go to the program status page. The top and centre values from the home page remain on the display.
Programming Power fail during Time-to-target segments: The ramp rate will be that of the current segment. The ramp rate is maintained, but the time remaining is recalculated. If there is a power interruption while controlling to Setpoint, when power is restored the controller automatically calls for maximum power.

To reveal or hide parameters in the controllers it is necessary to go into configuration modes, a security code is needed. Please consult Carbolite Gero. Digital Communications – RS232 If the RS232 option is supplied, then the furnace or oven is fitted with one subminiature D- socket connected to the controller communications (comms) module.
