Converter Temperature
When the converter temperature button is pushed, the digital display shows the
temperature of the converter. The temperature is displayed only as long as this button is
pressed. The converter temperature can be adjusted via a jumper located on the power
board, which is shown in figure 3-3. The standard unit is shipped form the factory with
the reactor temperature set at 450C. If carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons appear to be
breaking through the reactor at high flow rates, the set point may be increased. However,
the operator should be aware that increased operating temperature may result in
decreased heater lifetime and increased operating costs.
