INTRODUCTION
The modular power controller described in this manual and shown on the cover is a separate unit for the independent
control of a maximum of 4 temperature zones. It offers high applicative flexibility thanks to the extended configurability and
programmability of its parameters.
Instrument configuration and programming must be performed with a GFX-OP operator terminal or a PC connected
in USB/232/485, with specific software
(not supplied)
.
Since it is impossible to foresee all of the installations and environments in which the instrument may be applied,
adequate technical preparation and complete knowledge of the instrument’s potentials are necessary.
GEFRAN declines all liability if rules for correct
installation, configuration, and/or programming are
disregarded, as well as all liability for systems upline
and/or downline of the instrument.
FIELD OF USE
The modular power controller is the ideal solution for applications in heat treatment furnaces, in thermoformers, in
packaging and packing machines and, in general, in standard temperature control applications. Nevertheless, because it is
highly programmable, the controller can also be used for other applications provided they are compatible with the instrument’s
technical data.
Although the instrument’s flexibility allows it to be used in a variety of applications, the
field of use
must always conform to the
limits specified in the technical data supplied.
GEFRAN declines all liability for damage of any
type deriving from installations, configurations, or
programmings that are inappropriate, imprudent, or
not conforming to the technical data supplied.
Prohibited use
It is absolutely prohibited:
- to utilize the instrument or parts of it (including software) for any use not conforming to that specified in the technical docu-
mentation supplied;
- to modify working parameters inaccessible to the operator, decrypt or transfer all or part of the software;
- to utilize the instrument in explosive atmospheres;
- to repair or convert the instrument using non-original replacement parts;
- to utilize the instrument or parts of it without having read and correctly understood the technical documentation supplied;
- to scrap or dispose of the instrument in normal dumps; components that are potentially harmful to the environment must be
disposed of in conformity to the regulations of the country of installation.
CHARACTERISTICS OF PERSONNEL
This manual is intended for technical personnel, who commission the instrument by connecting it to other units, and
for service and maintenance personnel.
It is assumed that such persons have adequate technical knowledge, especially in the fields of electronics and auto-
mation.
The instrument described in this manual may be operated only by personnel who are trained for their assigned task,
in conformity to the instructions for such task and, specifically, to the safety warnings and precautions contained in such in-
structions.
Thanks to their training and experience, qualified personnel can recognize the risks inherent to the use of these
products/systems and are able to avoid possible dangers.
It is forbidden to employ untrained personnel, per-
sons with disabilities, legally disqualified persons,
persons who are not sober, or persons who take
drugs.
