Page 16: Power Limiting
Heaters with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance may be damaged if operated at full power at low temperatures. Metal film radiative heaters may not tolerate large duty cycle at high temperatures. The Model 101303-50 allows for two independent power limits and a temperature breakpoint to be set. -
