Automatic Control Operation
The Triad Freeze Dry System is equipped with a microprocessor-based
controller that permits temperature to be programmed using as many as six
different segments. The first segment is Pre-freeze with automatic “Max
Cold” setting and an adjustable time setting of 0, 3 hours to 99.9 hours or
indefinite. The additional five segments consist of a temperature ramp
function and a temperature hold function. There are five programs of six
segments each that can store settings. One of the five may be selected by
pressing the DISPLAY button until the AUTO indicator lights. Press the
UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired program, and then press ENTER.
The display will change to show the parameters for this program. The ramp
allows the temperature of the sample to be increased or decreased at any
desired rate within the capacity of the heating and cooling systems of the
Triad Freeze Dry System.

cooling at a rate of approximately .5°C/minute from 50°C to 0°C,
.25°C/minute from 0°C to –55°C. and can heat at approximately 3°C/minute.
Hold temperatures may be set anywhere from +50°C to –55°C in 1°C
increments. Hold times are set in hours.
