RES-409
Version 1
The burn-in effect described here does not occur if the heatsealing band has already been thermally pretreated
by the manufacturer.
9.3.3
Replacing the heatsealing band
All power supply leads must be disconnected from the RESISTRON
®
temperature controller in order to replace
the heatsealing band.
The heatsealing band must be replaced in accordance with the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
Each time the heatsealing band is replaced, the zero point must be calibrated with the AUTOCAL function while
the band is still cold, in order to compensate production-related resistance tolerances. The burn-in procedure
described above must be performed for all new heatsealing bands.

Startup procedure
Please also refer to section 1 "General information" on page 3 and section 2 "Application" on page 7.
Installation and startup may only be performed by technically trained, skilled persons who are
familiar with the associated risks and warranty provisions.
9.4.1
Initial startup
Prerequisites: The controller must be correctly installed and connected (
section 8 "Montage und Installation" on
page 14).
Proceed as follows to start up the controller for the first time:
1. Switch off the line voltage and verify that all circuits are deenergized.
2. The supply voltage specified on the nameplate of the controller must be identical to the line voltage that is
present in the plant or machine. The line frequency is automatically detected by the temperature controller in
the range from 47 to 63Hz.
3. The settings of the coding switches on the controller depend on the ROPEX Application Report, the heatsealing
band that is used, the required baud rate, and the identifier in the CAN network (
4. Make sure that no START command is being sent.
5. When the voltage is switched on, the yellow "AUTOCAL" LED lights up for approximately 0.3 seconds to
indicate that the controller is being powered up correctly.
All controllers manufactured as of February 2007:
If the red "FAULT" LED lights up for 0.3s in addition to the yellow "AUTOCAL" LED when the voltage
is switched on, the configuration of this controller has been changed in the visualization software
(
section 10.12 "Diagnostic interface / visualization software (as of February 2007)" on page 50). In order
to avoid malfunctions, please check the controller configuration before continuing the startup procedure.
