    M080 Training - Sincere-P3 New Fusing Unit Detection User maintenance kit: In a new fusing unit, the connector contains a fuse, which blows shortly after the machine is turned on. The technician’s spare part does not have this fuse circuit The CPU has enough time to detect this fuse, and uses this to tell when a new fusing unit has been installed.

    M080 Training - Sincere-P3 Fusing Temperature Control Thermostat Thermistor Thermistor: Measures the fusing unit temperature Thermostat: Prevents overheating Overheat Protection: If the hot roller temperature becomes greater than 245 °C, the CPU cuts off the power to the fusing lamp. At this time, SC543 will be generated. If the thermistor overheat protection fails, there is a thermostat in series with the common ground line of the fusing lamp.
  • Page 124 M080 Training - Sincere-P3 Fusing Temperature Control When the main switch turns on, the CPU turns on the fusing lamp using the soft start process. (The soft start process prevents the room lights from flickering.) The lamp stays on until the thermistor detects the ready temperature. Then the CPU maintains this temperature using on-off control.
