Chapter 5
Switching on the device
This chapter describes the device start-up routine. The warm up screen, see Figure 5.1, shows the
block temperature while the block warms up. After the warm up, the device switches to the operation
screen, see Figure 5.2. From the operation screen the main menu can be opened.
The device can be run in two different modes: in the safety mode or in normal mode. In the safety
mode every action has to be confirmed by the operator code (default: 111.000). Also in normal mode,
certain actions require an expert code, for example when changing the operator code and changing
between normal and safety mode. This manual refers to the device operated in normal mode.

Figure 5.1: warm up screen of the FTC300
The warm up screen shows the current block temperature during warm up in the center of the screen
(see Figure above). The target value of the block temperature, 63
◦
C for the standard version or 70
◦
C
for the high temperature version, is shown in the bottom line of the screen. The current loop, relays
and analog outputs are deactivated during warm up. When the difference between the measured
temperature and the target temperature is smaller than 0.6 K, the device switches to the operation
screen.
Pressing the <UP> key during warm up switches directly to operation screen and
activates the current loop. The displayed concentration value will not be precise until the
needed block temperature is reached.
