Introduction Intended Use Do not exceed operating temperatures shown in ““General Specification” page 9.” Exceeding these limits will result in severely reduced element life. Intended Use The Type F6000 furnaces are general purpose laboratory and heat treating furnaces. For optimum element life, we recommend observing these temperature ranges: from 100°C (212°F) to 1093°C (2000°F) continuous use or from 1093°C (2000°F) to 1200°C (2192°F) for intermittent use.

Installation Site Selection Be sure ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F). Ambient above this level may result in damage to the controller. Allow at least six inches of space between the furnace, at least 40 inches above the furnace and any combustible surface. This permits the heat from the furnace case to escape so as not to create a possible fire hazard.
Installation Electrical Conditions in the EU Electrical Conditions in the EU Electrical Conditions for operating the furnaces in the EU: The furnaces are intended for use at a network supply with a maximum system impedance of Zmax= 0.0229 ohm at the point of connection, according to EN 61000-3-11 clause 6.2.2. The user has to ensure that the device is operated on a network supply that meets these requirements.

Single Setpoint Models w/OTP Eurotherm 3216 Controller Operation Eurotherm 3216 Controller Operation The single setpoint model w/OTP furnace controller is a single setpoint controller, which provides a single digital display to indicate the current chamber temperature or setpoint temperature. This temperature controller features sensor break protection, self-tuning capability and over temperature protection (OTP) with an additional OTP relay device.
Single Setpoint Models w/OTP Buttons and Indicators Buttons and Indicators OP1 (Output 1): Illuminates when the output is ON (normally heating). The cycle light on the display will turn on and off as the furnace reaches the setpoint. OP2 (Output 2): Illuminates when the output is ON (normally cooling). OP4 (Output 4): Illuminates when the AA relay output is ON (will go on during an alarm situation).
Single Setpoint Models w/OTP Alarms TM.CFG: Timer configuration. TM.RES: Timer Resolution (minutes and hours). THRES: Timer start threshold (default is OFF). END.T: Timer End Type (default is DWELL). Pid List Pb: Proportional band (in display units). ti: Integral time in seconds. td: Derivative time in seconds.
Single Setpoint Models w/OTP Tuning Tuning This controller incorporates a self-tuning feature, which determines the optimum control parameters for the best temperature accuracy with your load and setpoint. Use this feature the first time you use your furnace and each time you change either your setpoint or the type of load you are heating. Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends you use this feature to provide the best temperature accuracy the controller can attain.

Single Ramp & Dwell Functions Functions This type of controller has two step ramp and dwell programming capabilities. The Ramp and Dwell can be configured to three different modes. 1. Mode 1 (DWELL) The dwell time begins once the setpoint reaches the set threshold. The END TYPE action is executed when the dwell timer reaches the end.
Single Ramp & Dwell Program Overview 3. Mode 3 (SF.ST) Starts automatically on power up. This is a soft-start function. If the PV is below the Soft Start Threshold, then the power is limited to the Soft Start Limit until the threshold is met.
Single Ramp & Dwell SetPoint Rate Limit Setup The above four options is to set what is expected of the unit to do once the program is complete. For example, if it is desired for the controller to stop doing anything at all once the timer is finished, set End.T to OFF.
Single Ramp & Dwell Verifying a Running Program Verifying a Running Program Press the SCROLL button until “T.SAT” is displayed. The display will show “run” if the program is running, “hold” if it is paused or “res” if it is not running. Press the PAGE button to display Actual temperature.

8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP Eurotherm 3216 Controller Eurotherm 3216 Controller The Eurotherm 3216c and 3216p temperature controllers sense the furnace's chamber air temperature (the PV or process value) and provides the heat needed to reach the required set point. There are two choices of controls used in the various furnaces models: The 3216c controller is a basic single setpoint and Timer (1-program 8-segment or Dwell timer or Delay timer).
8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP Operator Interface & HOME Display Operator Interface & HOME Display When the controller is turned ON, it will perform a brief self-test and then display the HOME Display page. The measured value (process value) is found in the upper display and the set point is found in the lower display.

8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP Alarms & Diagnostics To Apply an Offset Connect the input of the controller to the source device which you wish to calibrate to. Set the source to the desired calibration value. The controller will display the current measurement of the value. If the display is correct, the controller is correctly calibrated and no further action is necessary.
8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP Sensor Break & Loop Break Protection Sensor Break & Loop Break Protection Sensor Break Protection - The controller provides sensor break protection in the event the thermocouple opens. If an open thermocouple condition occurs, the digital display will blink “S.br”, a red alarm beacon will be illuminated and the power to the heating element will be shut off.

8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP 1-Program 8-Segment Controller Operation The 8-segment programmable 3216c controller consists of microprocessor based three-mode PID (Proportional, Integral and Derivative) and appropriate output switching devices to control the furnace. The programmable controller can be used as a single set point controller or as a programmable controller.
8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP Delayed Switch On Timer Soft Start Power Limit The soft start function limits the power delivered to the heater until it has warmed up. The SS.PWR is the power limit applied until the PV reaches the SS.SP or the timer has elapsed. Delayed Switch On Timer The timer is used to switch on the controller output power after a fixed length of time.
Page 53
8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP Delayed Switch On Timer Timer Start Threshold A single threshold value is available to provide a holdback on the entry to the dwell part of the ramp/dwell pair. It holds back the dwell until the PV has reached the band defined by +/- threshold around the PV.
Page 54
8 Segment & 5x16 Segment Programmable Models w/OTP Delayed Switch On Timer End Type parameter The action which occurs at the end of program or in reset depends on the configuration of the ‘END.T’ parameter. The ‘END.T’ can be: OFF : The heating is turned OFF. dwEll : Controls at last program setpoint.
