    3. In the case of controllers manufactured up to March 2005, the settings of the DIP switches on the controller are indicated in the ROPEX Application Report and depend on the heatsealing band that is used (section 6.2 "Con- troller configuration" on page 17).
  • Page 21 If the zero point has not been calibrated successfully, the red "ALARM" LED blinks slowly (1Hz). In this case the controller configuration is incorrect ( section 6.2 "Controller configuration" on page 17 and ROPEX Appli- cation Report).

    An indicating instrument can be connected to this output in order to visualize the temperature of the heatsealing band. The characteristics of the ROPEX ATR-x temperature meter (size, scaling, dynamic response) are ideally suited to this application and this instrument should therefore always be used ( section 12 "How to order" on page 47).

  • Page 32: Heatup Timeout (As Of April 2005)

    The temperature diagnosis function can thus be explicitly deactivated, e.g. if the temperature drops tem- porarily owing to the closure of the sealing jaws. The values that can be set in the ROPEX visualization software for the upper and lower tolerance band are iden- tical to those for the "Temperature OK" signal (MOD 46).
