EZT-570S User Manual

3. Manual Operation

The EZT-570S controller can function as either a static (single) set point

controller or as an automatic

ramp/soak program

controller. The EZT-570S is in static mode (single set point operation) when it is

not running a ramp/soak program. This section describes how to operate the chamber in this mode.

3.1 Set

Point

Adjustment

Figure 3-1 Single Set Point Adjustment

To adjust a set point:

1. Select either the Main loop view or Overview screen from the home View menu.

2. Touch the set point for the desired loop on the Main screen or select the loop row from the list on

the Overview screen. The numeric keypad will be shown. Enter the desired set point value and
press the “Enter” button.

Figure 3-2 Numeric Entry

3. Turn on the Chamber event. See the following Section 3.2, Manual Operation.
