Page 18: Overtemperature Protection
Overtemperature Protection 9 Overtemperature protection Overtemperature protection is an option on the 301 controller. An independent control circuit and temperature sensor provide the over temperature protection. There are two reasons for overtemperature protection: 1. To prevent the material being used in a furnace or oven from over-heating. 2. -
Page 19: Changing The Overtemperature Limit
Overtemperature Protection Changing the Overtemperature Limit Note: If protection of the sample being processed is required, the overtemperature limit is normally set 15 C above the temperature setpoint of the controller. If protection of the furnace or oven is required, the overtemperature limit is normally set 15 C above the maximum setpoint of the furnace or oven. -
Page 20: Overtemperature Activation
Overtemperature Protection Overtemperature Activation When an overtemperature circuit is fitted and is operating, the overtemperature indicator is green. When the temperature of the furnace or oven goes above the overtemperature limit, the overtemperature circuit activates. The power supply to the heating elements is cut and the overtemperature indicator changes to flashing red. -
