  • Page 5: Detailed Operation

    Detailed Operation • Heater Voltage is regulated by a Solid State Relay (SSR), which is turned ON and OFF rapidly according to the temperature controller DC OUT signal. A “zero cross” type SSR is used to minimize electrical noise. • Heater Element is protected with a resistive photo detector and a thermal resistor (thermistor) mounted at the heater inlet.
