Page 5: Installation
2.0 Installation Unpacking and Handling When unpacking and handling the product, always lift it by its base. Do not use the door or any other projecting cover or component to support the equipment when moving it. Use two or more people to carry the product where possible. Carefully remove any packing material from inside and around the product before use. -
Page 6: Electrical Connections
Ensure that the product is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or disconnected from the electrical supply. Each chamber is fitted with an air guide (a horizontal plate dividing the top from the bottom), and a sample tray (in the lower part of the chamber). Ensure that these items are present. -
Page 7: Gas Supply
The supply should be fused at the next size equal to, or higher than the current on the label. This manual contains a table of the most common fuse ratings. When the mains cable is factory fitted, internal fuses are also fitted. It is essential that the operator ensures that the product is correctly fused. -
Page 8: Desiccator (If Supplied)
The flowmeter on the right is only used to test for leaks in the MFS/1 gas flow. The gas exiting the chamber passes through the valve positioned at the back of the product labelled “OFF/ TEST”. The normal operating position for this valve is “OFF”. With the valve in this position the outlet gas passes directly from the chamber to the gas outlet connection. -
Page 9: 2416 Controller
3.0 2416 Controller Description This manual applies to the 2416, 2416CG and 2416P8 controllers. Special customer requirements may result in changes to the available parameters and the navigation diagram. It is not possible to list all the possibilities in this manual. 2416CG Controller The Eurotherm model 2416CG is a digital instrument with PID control algorithms which may be used as a simple controller or an 8-segment programmer. - Page 10 Fig 2 - Control with Ramp-to- Setpoint Fig 1 -Simple Control Fig 3 - A Program Seg 1 = Ramp Sep 2 = End (Dwell) Temperature Time Setpoint Actual Temperature WSP Working Setpoint Ramp Dwell Step...

Page 11: Operation
Operation Most Carbolite Gero products are fitted with an instrument switch which cuts off power to the controller and other parts of the control circuit. See section 5.0 for operating instructions. To operate the 2416 Controller there must be power to the furnace or oven and the instrument switch must be on. - Page 12 Auto/ Disabled. The unit is always in 'Auto' mode Manual Used to start, stop or pause a program. Short presses cause it to alternate between 'Run' and 'Hold', but if it is RUN/HOLD held for 2 seconds the programmer goes into 'Reset' mode where it behaves as a simple controller.
-
Page 13: Programming
Programming Note that a currently active segment cannot be altered - put the programmer into 'Hold' or 'Reset' whenever it is necessary to do so to alter a parameter. Go into 'Reset' mode (i.e. press RUN/HOLD for 2 seconds) before starting to create or modify a program. Press page until 'ProG LiSt' is displayed. -
Page 14: Multi-Program Model (2416P8)
If all segments are used so that there is no 'End' segment, then on completion the program automatically goes into 'Dwell'. Dwell segments of length zero can be included. This is a way of allowing space for future program changes. For an example of program creation, see section 3.3.6. -
Page 15: Program Example
For a more detailed view, press page to access the 'Run' list page and scroll to see its contents as shown in the Navigation Diagram below. Provided the unit is first put into 'Hold' mode, temporary changes may be made to parameters; these apply only until the program ends or is reset. -
Page 16: Controller Options
Controller Options As options can be ordered in a variety of combinations and for a variety of purposes, exact instructions are not given here. The full Eurotherm manual may be required to determine customer parameter settings. To reveal or hide parameters in the controllers it is necessary to go into configuration mode, a security code is needed. -
