2.1
Furnace or Oven Controls
Most Carbolite Gero products are fitted with an “Instrument Switch” which cuts off power to the
controller and other parts of the control circuit. See the instruction manual for the furnace or oven
for the overall operating instructions.
To operate the 2216 there must be power to the furnace or oven, and the Instrument switch must
be on. If a time switch is included in the furnace or oven circuit, this must be in an On period.
2.2
The 2216 – Operation
When switched on, the controller lights up, goes through a short test routine, and then displays
the measured temperature and starts to control. The output light glows or flashes as heating
occurs.
The
Page
key
allows access to parameter lists within the controller; most lists and parameters
are hidden and cannot be accessed by the operator because they contain factory-set parameters
which should not be changed.
A single press of the page key
displays the temperature units, normally set to °C; further
presses reveal the lists indicated in the Navigation Diagram in section 2.6. The
Scroll
key
allows access to the parameters within a list. Some parameters are display-only; others may be
altered by the operator. Some parameters only appear in appropriate circumstances – for
example, working setpoint does not appear if setpoint ramp rate is Off.
A single press of the scroll key
displays the temperature units; further presses reveal the
parameters in the current list indicated in the Navigation Diagram.
To return to the Home list at any time, press Page
and Scroll
together, or wait for 45
seconds.
The
Down
and
Up
keys are used to alter the setpoint or other parameter values.
2.3
Basic Operation
Normally no operator action is required other than entering the setpoint, as the 2216 starts to
control on being switched on, as described above.
