Heat Control
• Single temperature, heat to a set temperature.
• Ramp to temperature, Ramp to final temperature in a user set time.
• Step temperature, heat to Temp 1, for X minutes, then temp 2 for X
minutes, then Temp 3 for X minutes. A maximum of 3 steps can be
used.
Set temperatures as required for these options. 50-160ºC.
For Ramp set the time to final temperature.
For Step set the temperature and the time at each step.
Interval
Set the time interval at which the results are computed and printed. Range is
1 to 99 seconds.
Rapid heat
Set the rapid heat function to be on, off or under user control.
Rapid heat will cause the target temperature to be 145% (or 160ºC, which
ever is less) of the value set for Single or the first Step for a time of 3
minutes. For example is the Single temperature is 105ºC, the rapid heat will
heat to 105X 1.45= 152ºC for 3 minutes then maintain 105º after that time.
If set to Rapid = Off
The rapid heat function is disabled.
Rapid =On
The rapid heat function will occur every time a test is started, either manually
or automatically.
Rapid = MANUAL
When a test is started Manually, the user will be asked if Rapid heat should
