Setting The Target Conditioning Cycle (Tcc) Timer; Setting Joule Mode; Setting The Joule Setpoint - Advanced Energy Pinnacle 20 kW Manual

SETTING THE TARGET CONDITIONING CYCLE (TCC) TIMER

PROCESS → CONTROL → TCC
When TCC is enabled, the TCC algorithm executes automatically the first time the output is
turned on. The TCC timer feature lets you set an acceptable idle time for subsequent runs. If
the output is off for less than the idle time, the TCC algorithm does not re-initiate upon the
next on command. If the output is off for longer than the idle time, the TCC algorithm
executes with the next on command.
Note: If the timer is set to 0 and the TCC algorithm has been enabled, the unit will initiate the
TCC algorithm every time output is turned on.
To enable the TCC timer, follow these steps:
1. Press PROCESS → CONROL → TCC → TIMER.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select the timer value.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.

Setting Joule Mode

PROCESS → CONTROL → JOULES
This option lets you use joule mode, a method of automatically delivering a specified number
of joules to the target. Choose THRESHOLD to specify a power level that must be exceeded
before beginning calculation, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the calculation by disabling
the calculation during ignition. Choose ENABLE to enable or disable joule mode. Choose
SETPT to program the number of joules you want to be delivered.
To enable joule mode, follow these steps:
1. Press PROCESS → CONTROL → JOULES → ENABLE.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select Yes or No, to enable or disable joule mode.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.

SETTING THE JOULE SETPOINT

To program the number of joules you want to be delivered (joule setpoint), follow these steps:
1. Press PROCESS → CONTROL → JOULES → SETPT.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select a value between 0 and 9,999,999 joules (in 1 joule
increments).
If you are rotating the MODIFY knob slowly, press the appropriate soft key to indicate
how quickly you want the display to increment the value (x1000, x100, x10 or x1). Note:
If you turn the MODIFY knob quickly, the counts per click setting takes effect.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.
