Overview
The Ahiba IR Pro employs a powerful user interface that communicates
programming and system information, using internationally-recognized symbols,
translatable text and icons. Because of this design, Ahiba IR Pro allows for
maximum flexibility and delivers a very easy to follow and understand interface.
The IR Pro’s color touch screen display utilizes color change to alert the operator
of certain statuses and LED lights and a status bar visually displays important
information about the process. The controller also has a variable audible alarm
system that alerts the operator to the conditions and status of the process.
Sophisticated firmware runs monitoring and controls in the background, ensuring
the proper operation and control of the process. When an error occurs, the
controller communicates the error via text status messages, display color
change, LED light and audible alarms.
The Ahiba IR Pro works with stored programs that contain customized time and
temperature dyeing sequences. The unit can hold a maximum of 99 programs,
each having a maximum of 15 steps. A stored program remains in the system
memory until it is deleted by the operator. Programs can be edited to change
processing specifications, or to add or remove steps. An installed USB flash drive
slot allows for fast program back-up and transfer of programs to multiple
machines.
One step in a program includes the following inputs:
•
Temperature
•

•
Time at temperature
•
Speed of rotation
•

This information is entered through touches on the display and a numeric keypad
and icons on the display screen.
