Setting information shown in upper display cannot be modified. 1 Applicable value shows in upper Monitoring items may be viewed in standby or while display operation is in progress.
Page 49
4. OPERATION PROCEDURE Monitoring Data Heater Output Heater output shows heater power output ratio in a percentage of rated capacity. Output is controlled by a PID operation value between 100 and 0% until temperature setting is reached. Example If upper display shows , ouput is at 45.6% of rated heater capacity.
4. OPERATION PROCEDURE Independent Overheat Prevention Device DF/DH series units feature redundant safety devices: 1) The internal automatic overheat prevention (automatic reset) feature, and 2) the Independent Overheat Prevention Device (IOPD) with discrete power supply, circuit and sensor; completely independent of the CPU board. The IOPD main relay functions to activate and cut power to the heater when chamber temperature goes too far beyond objective temperature.
In the event that a foreign object accidentally falls inside, turn off main power (ELB) immediately, disconnect power cable and contact a local dealer, or Yamato sales office for assistance. Continuing to operate unit without removing object may cause fire or electric shock resulting in serious injury or death.
6. ALWAYS run equipment within specified temperature range. Working temperature range is room temperature +15°C~260°C (DF412/612) and +15°C~ 360°C (DH412/612). Never attempt to operate unit outside of specification range. Equipment malfunction or damage may result.

Page 55
5. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Caution 11. Temperature control. The temperature sensor for this unit is installed on the inside wall of the chamber and used to control chamber temperature. Chamber temperature reading, as detected by the sensor, may not always agree with the temperature of test specimens. More often than not, chamber and test sample temperatures will differ largely immediately after opening or closing chamber door.
Page 56
5. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Caution 17. Cable port precaution. Whenever a manual temperature gauging sensor or probe is inserted through the cable port, close the port cover as fully as possible and completely seal any gaps with heat-resistant insulation or sealant. If the seal is inadequate, temperature characteristics or other performance properties will be degraded and inaccurate.
“Er07” will appear in the upper display. An alarm will also sound and ERROR lamp will illuminate. Main power switch (ELB) and overheat prevention device must be inspected, as prescribed above, prior to every instance of extended or overnight operation. ◆Contact a local dealer or Yamato sales office for further assistance.
Dispose of or recycle this unit in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner. Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd. strongly recommends disassembling unit, as far as is possible, in order to separate parts and recycle them in contribution to preserving the global environment.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING Error Codes All possible error codes are shown in Table 8.1 below. On DF/DH series units, operation stops and a sounding alarm accompanies occurring errors. Pressing any key (except ) will pause the alarm. After three minutes alarm will sound again. Upper display shows error code and error source source appears in lower display.
