Pegasus R Iss.07 – 08/13
INITIAL TESTING
This unit was tested before despatch to you but please check its operation as outlined below and in Appendix 1.
After connecting the Pegasus 'R' to the electricity supply, the temperature controller display will show the
temperature of the furnace and the last set-point value. The 'R' controller and indicator both go through a self-test
sequence first. The fan on the side panel should be heard running.
Change the set-point to 200 C and observe that the furnace temperature rises and settles to this value. For the 'R';
place a thermometer in the source and connect it to the suitably configured (see 'R' procedure) indicator. Confirm
that the indicator agrees within a few degrees of the controller.
Your unit should have performed as described above and can now be used for calibration.
If any problems or faults arise during these tests please contact us or our agents for help and advice.
WARNING
To prolong the life of the heater windings the temperature should not be increased by more than in 200 C
increments, allow the temperature controller to indicate it as at the fixed point before resetting the next temperature
increment.
The controller's function settings should not normally require any changes from what we have set them to.
