8.2 Power Settings & Adjustment

The furnace control system incorporates electronic power limiting. The power limit parameter

OP.Hi

is accessible to the operator, and can be used to match the furnace to the actual supply

voltage.

All standard models covered by this manual are fitted with 208V elements and are designed for
use over the range of voltages 200V-240V; the power limit parameter is set accordingly. These
models may be relocated to a different voltage within the range

The power limit depends on the voltage s follows.

200V

208V

220V, 380V

230V, 400V

240V, 415V 254V, 440V 277V, 480V

Non-standard models

Special versions (i.e. with non-standard heating elements) may not follow the table above. Check
the initial setting (see below) or contact Carbolite if in doubt.

Power Adjustment

Set the Heater Switch to Off to prevent heating while adjusting the power limit.

Press Page  until

oP

(output list) is displayed. Press Scroll  until

OP.Hi

(Output High) is

displayed. Press Down  or Up  once to display the value of

OP.Hi

(it is good practice to write

down the original value). To alter the parameter to the desired value use Down  or Up .

A power setting of zero prevents the furnace from heating: useful for demonstrating the controls
without taking power.

Do not increase the power limit simply “to get more power”. The elements could burn out, or a
fuse could blow.
