Technical Data
3-20
Data from the temperature sensor are sent to a
temperature-regulator circuit on the Computer Control Board.
The microprocessor generates a signal representing the
temperature selected by the operator. This signal is compared
to the sensed temperature in the regulator circuit, which sends
a control signal to the Dryer Element.
NOTE: The temperature sensed is that on the wall of
the Drying Station. there will be temperature gradients
throughout the well that will vary with the number
and wetness of the slides. In general, the temperature at
the sensor will be several degrees lower than the
temperature of the air entering the well. An operator
will generally have to experiment to find the ideal
temperature setting for each application.
