  • Page 7: Controls

    Controls Display The Fisher 800 Series Programmable Ovens are equipped with a digital PID control routine that gives pre- cise temperature controlability. The control is capable of storing multiple 24-step programs for ramp and soak pro- filing. The following sections briefly describe the locations and functions of various display fields and keypad controls.
  • Page 8: Keypad

    ONTROLS Keypad The 800 Series incorporates a four-key, tactile keypad (see Figure 1). The function of each key is discussed individually below. During programming or setup, successively pressing the Menu Key causes the controller display to sequentially step through menu selections. In Control mode, pressing the Up Arrow Key increases the oven set temperature, as indicated on the Set Display.

  • Page 11: Creating A Ramp And Soak Program

    PERATION A Jump Loop operation causes program execution to jump to another designated program step. Each program step, up to the Jump Loop, is then sequentially repeated. Use of a Jump Loop allows a programmed temperature cycle to be repeated up to 100 times. A Jump Loop can- not be used as the first step in a program.
  • Page 12 PERATION Press the Menu Key to edit step #1, or use the Up or Down Arrow Key to change the step num- ber to the desired step for editing before press- ing the Menu Key. The Set Display then indicates “StyP” to signify that step type must be selected from a menu of four operations being shown in Actual Display.
  • Page 13 PERATION 12. The Set Display then indicates “rAtE” to prompt the operator to select a desired heating or cool- ing rate in degrees/min. Press and hold or until the desired rate is shown in the Actual Display. Press the Menu Key to enter the selected rate. Proceed to step 20.

    PERATION Actual Display to indicate the desired step num- ber to jump to. Press the Menu Key to enter the jump step. NOTE: The jump step number must be lower than the current step number. The jump cannot be to the current step or a higher step.
  • Page 15 PERATION To run a program currently in memory, perform the follow- ing steps: Press the Run Key once. The Run indicator light begins to flash and the displays indicate which program in memory is ready to run. To change program numbers, press the Up or Down Arrow Key.
  • Page 16 PERATION The specific control parameters displayed in any instance depend upon whether the current step is a Set Point or a Soak operation. The sequence of control parameters dis- played in each case, and the corresponding Set Display messages, is as follows: Ramp Step End Set Point Target final temperature at the...
  • Page 17: An Example Program

    PERATION An Example Program Implementing the following program provides a good example of how to program the 800 Series ovens for ramp/soak operations. Step 1: Ramp from ambient to 200°C at 8.0°C/min. Step 2: Ramp from 200°C to 325°C at 4 °C/min. Step 3: Soak at 325°C for two hours Step 4: Turn off power to the heaters and allow to oven cool.
  • Page 18 PERATION Programming Step 2: Press the Menu Key again. The displays will indicate the next program step for editing (“2 Step”). Press the Menu Key to enter the step. Use the Up or Down Arrow Key to select the step type for step #2. Press the Menu Key when the displays indicate “SP StyP”.
  • Page 19: Menu Items

    PERATION Programming Step 4: 18. Press the Menu Key to initiate programming the fourth program step (“4 StEP”). 19. Use the Up or Down Arrow Key to adjust the Actual Display to indicate the End operation (“End StyP”). Press the Menu Key to select End.
  • Page 20: Units (°C/°F)

    PERATION To enter a Temperature Offset, carry out the following steps: With the oven in Control Mode, press the Menu Key twice. This will bypass the program edit mode and bring up the Temperature Offset (“0 CAL”) display. To change the offset value, use the Up Arrow Key (to increase) or Down Arrow Key (to decrease).

    PERATION Further menu items will begin to appear. Press the Menu Key two additional times for the con- troller to again display the Set and Actual tem- peratures (control mode). Power Loss Options In the event of a power loss during program execution, the controller will react in one of three ways: •...
