CONTINUOUS Cycle Operation
In
CONTINUOUS
(
CONT
) mode, the Model 1015 continues to
apply heater power to a stage until the stage remains at room
temperature for the cycle delay time (timeout).
To select the CONT mode, switch the rear panel
CONT
switch to
the up position and select a timeout. To select a 10 minute timeout
place the
10 min
switch in the up position, and the
5 min
switch in
the down position. To select a 5 minute timeout, place the
5 min
switch in the up position, and the
10 min
switch in the down
position. To select a 1 minute timeout put both the
10 min
and
5 min
switches in the down position (both the
10 min
and
5 min
switches in the up position selects a 10 minute timeout).
To initiate the warm-up cycle, press the front panel
START
button.
The
START
LED lights and the unit monitors the First and Second
stage temperatures to determine if they are at room temperature. If
they are, the yellow
WAIT
LED lights and the unit monitors the
stage temperature for the timeout period. If the stage is still at room
temperature after the timeout period, the
WAIT
LED turns off and
the
READY
LED lights.
If the stage is not at room temperature, the unit turns on power to
the stage, monitors it until it reaches room temperature, turns off
the stage power, and starts the timeout sequence. In the
READY
state, if stage temperature falls below room temperature, the unit
turns stage power back on and repeats the cycle. The unit checks
inputs for proper operation as in
SINGLE
mode and the
STOP
button resets the warm-up cycle at any time.
