Temperature Calibration Screen - Advanced Poly-Packaging Advanced Poly-Bagger T-1000-S18H Operation Manual

3.35 Temperature Calibration Screen

This calibrated temperature screen will allow for temperature calibration of the heater bar. A typical temperature
setting is 400°F or 204°C. The maximum temperature setting is 600°F or 260°C. The operator will have the option
of choosing between two thermocouples (TC 1 and TC 2). Since variables such as position and age of the
thermocouples may affect the actual reading, a calibrated readout will provide for more consistency in sealing. See
Figure 3 - 34.
To access the Temperature Calibration Screen, from the
Main Menu press Technical Assistance (this requires a
level 1 Passcode), press Bagger Factory and press the
yellow Temperature Calibration button along the right
side of the screen (See
Figure 3 - 40
Measured Temperature: Displays the current temperature of
both thermocouples, for example, 400°F (or C equivalent).
Adjustment: An entry field to enter an adjusted
temperature. If there is an outside source to read the
temperature of the heater bar and there is a variance between
the bagger and the outside source temperature gauge, the
<Adjustment> button allows for that variance to be accounted for. For example, if the outside calibration
equipment reads 403°F and the bagger shows 400°F, a value of -3° can be entered into Adjustment, allowing the
variation to be known. By pressing the green button, a numeric keypad is accessed where two digits, negative or
positive can be entered into this field.
Read Out: Combines the Current Temperature and Adjustment then displays the calculated adjusted temperature,
in the case of the above example, 397°F.
Control Mode (Read): Standard temperature control by a single thermocouple.
Control Mode (Compare): Dual Temperature control, both readings have to be within the Compare Range, set
on the screen by the operator. If either thermocouple exceeds the Compare Range, an alarm is displayed and the
Heater Bar shuts down.
Heater LED: Duplicates the indicator on the Bagger Settings Screen (See Settings Screen 3.7), and shows the
status of the Heater:
•
Green indicates Heater is functioning correctly.
•
Red indicates a fault condition.
The Heater status is monitored for two conditions:
•
Fast Heating – Temperature must increase by 10° F over threshold within 60 seconds
•
Temperature Maintenance – Temperature is monitored every 10 seconds for sudden variations over a 30
second interval.
If either of these conditions occur, a fault condition is triggered, and the Heater will be disabled until the <Reset>
button is pressed.
