Operation Method Calibration Offset Function Description In the controller, the relationship between the temperature T Display temperature detected by the sensor and the display temperature of the (Controlled temperature) operation panel D is expressed by the equation of the line which passes the two points (T ) and (T ) shown in Fig.1.
Operation Method Independent overheating prevention device There are two safety devices in this unit: the auto-overheating preventive function of the controller (automatic recovery) and the independent overheating prevention device (manual recovery). Circuits and sensors that are independent from the controller configure them. These safety devices for the temperature overheating prevention protect the instrument in a fail-safe method.
Operation Method Temperature Rise/Fall (Reference Data) The following graph shows the data for temperature rise/fall of respective device types. The data shown is only reference because these values vary depending on the quantity of sample or an ambient temperature. Use the data for temperature rise/fall when creating programs. in-furnace temp.
