Cutout 9.8
As a protection against a hardware fault or user error, the calibrator is equipped with
an adjustable cutout device that shuts off power to the heater if the tank temperature
exceeds a set value. This protects the instrument and probes from excessive
temperatures. The cutout temperature is programmable by the opera tor from the front
panel of the controller.
The cutout for the 6102 Bath is defaulted to 225°C.
If the cutout is activated because of excessive temperatures, the heater shuts off and
the instrument cools. The tank cools until it reaches a few degrees below the cutout
set-point temperature. At this point, the action of the cutout is deter mined by the
setting of the cutout mode parameter. The cutout has two modes – automatic reset
or manual reset. If the mode is set to automatic, the cutout auto matically resets itself
when the temperature falls below the reset temperature al lowing the tank to heat up
