  • Page 11 K8AC-H Operation Main K8AC-H Functions The K8AC-H is a digital heater burnout detector that detects heater burnout by measuring the heater current from various power supply systems. The K8AC-H provides the following functions. Applicable Heater Control Methods Error Detection The following heater control methods can be used. The following errors are detected according to status.
  • Page 12 As a result, high-precision detection of heater burnout is not possible. The effect on the heater and setting methods depends on the heater being used. Therefore, consult with your OMRON Output Operation Time Charts representative before using a heater with varying resistance values.
