6.4 More about Run and Shutdown
RUN
– the system measures the heat gain of every zone and automatically holds back the
faster (probe) zones to the same rise rate as the slowest rising zone. This ensures that you
get a homogenous rise across the whole tool.
SHUTDOWN
– the system operates in a similar but reverse method to startup. It switches off
the slowest zone and sets the set temperature of all others to be 30° lower. This ensures that
you get a smooth uniform cool down across the whole tool.
