SECTION 3 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Use the following procedure to define and run a program. These steps will
program a Ramp to user-defined Temperature in a user-defined amount of time
and then Dwell. This can also be done using the 5270 software.
1. Turn the system On.
2. Press the "Page" button until P.SET is displayed.
3. Press "Scroll"; Observe P.NUM (Program Number) 1 is indicated.
4. Press "Scroll"; Verify that HB.STY (Holdback Style) is set to PROG.
5. Press "Scroll"; Verify that HB.TYP (Holdback Type) is set to OFF.
6. Press "Scroll"; Verify that RAMP.U (Ramp Units) is set to P.mIN (Per Minute).
7. Press "Scroll"; Verify that DWEL.U (Dwell Units) is set to mINS (Minutes).
8. Press "Scroll"; Verify that P.CYC (Program Cycles) is set to 1.
9. Press "Scroll"; Change P.END (Program End Type) is set to dwEL (Dwell). Available
options are:
a. dwEL (Dwell): Dwell at the last set point.
b. rSEt (Reset): Reset to the set point used prior to starting the program.
c. tRAk (Track): same effect as Dwell
10. Press "Scroll"; Observe that S.NUM (Segment Number) 1 appears.
11. Press "Scroll"; Observe that S.NAME (Segment Name) is set to "S1". Segment Names
are used when the Segment Type is set to CALL.
12. Press "Scroll"; Change S.TYPE (Segment Type) as desired. For this example, tImE
(Time to Target) is used. Available options are:
a. rAtE (Ramp at Rate to Target): Ramp the set point at a given Rate (°/min) for a given
Time.
b. tImE (Time to Target): Ramp to a given Target for a given Time.
c. dwEL (Dwell): Dwell at the last set point for a given Time.
d. StEP (Step to Target): Instantaneously change to the given Set Point.
e. CALL (Call Program Number): Execute another program as a subroutine (this is not
common).
f. ENd (End Program): The very last segment of a program. Behavior is defined by the
Program End Type (see above).
13. Press "Scroll"; Change TSP (Target Setpoint) to the desired initial sample temperature
using the "Lower" or "Raise" buttons. This is the temperature to be achieved at the end of
the ramp.
14. Press "Scroll"; Change R.TIME (Ramp Time) to the desired ramp time in hh:mm.
15. Press "Scroll"; Observe that S.NUM (Segment Number) is now 2.
16. Press "Scroll"; Observe that S.NAME (Segment Name) is now S2.
17. Press "Scroll"; Change S.TYPE (Segment Type) to "ENd".
18. Press "Scroll"; P.NUM (Program Number) 1 is indicated.
19. Press the "Page" button twice to return to the Home display.
