SEGMENT FUNCTIONS
Each program has up to 20 segments. Each segment allows setting of the required
temperature.
Possible segment functions are:
Ramp
A ramp is used to change the temperature either positive or negative. The
setpoint i.e. the temperature to be reached at the end of this segment and
the increase i.e. the speed or temperature change used to reach the setpoint
define the ramp.
Dwell time / Hold
A dwell time is used to hold the temperature reached in the previous
segment for a specified period of time.
Its duration is defined using a specific time period.
End
“End” signalizes to the controller that the program ends with the previous
segment and does not require any specific definition. The preset setpoint is
“0” to allow rapid cooling down.
