Main Controller: 1x8 & 5x16 Segment Programmable |
Chapter 6
The set point remains constant for a specified period at the specified target. The operating
set point of a dwell is inherited from the previous segment.
Remaining Time
Time remaining before the dwell segment completes.
Elapsed Time
The time elapsed since the Program/Timer was activated.
1-Program 8-Segment Controller Operation
An internal timer in 3216c controller can be configured to operate in four different modes:

Dwell at temperature. This may be used in combination with the set point ramp limit
to provide a simple ramp/dwell temperature sequence.

Delayed switch on timer. This may be used to implement a switch on delay, and often
eradicates the need for a separate timer device.

Soft Start timer. Starts automatically on power up. It applies a power limit until the
temperature reaches a threshold value or the timer times-out after the dwell period.

8-Segment programmable controller (4 ramps & 4 soaks).
NOTE For all modes except the setpoint programmer, the time remaining may be
edited while the program is running, in this case the program duration is modified
immediately. This is useful for extending or shortening the duration of a batch.
