CONTROL NAME FUNCTION

Note:

Pressing a keypad whose LED’s is already illuminat-

ed, will cause the computer to exit from that mode with the
exception of the “RUN” mode.

(IDLE Mode)            This action will return the controller 

to the  IDLE mode (no displays in 
Mode Select section are illuminated).

The term IDLE MODE will be used 
during installation and troubleshoot-
ing of the unit. 

c. System Status

Six LED modules display the system

status of the unit during a program cycle.

INDICATOR NAME FUNCTION

COOL 

Indicator illuminates to indicate 
when the COOL solenoid valve is 
open, injecting liquid nitrogen into 
the freezing chamber.  

COOL + 

Indicator illuminates to indicate 
when the COOL + solenoid valve is 
open, injecting additional liquid 
nitrogen into the freezing chamber.

HEAT 

Illuminates when heating circuit is 
energized.  

WAIT

Illuminates when the program is 
being run, indexing through, or being
edited contains a WAIT section.

ERROR 

Illuminates when the controller  
senses the presence of an error    
condition.  

END

Illuminates when the program is 
being run, indexing through, or being
edited contains a END section.  

d. TC Scanner

Three keys control thermocouple

scanner operation for sample only, cham-
ber only, or sample and chamber alter-
nately. This temperature information is
then relayed to the strip chart recorder.

CONTROL NAME FUNCTION

SAMP 

Selects the Sample thermocouple as 
the temperature to be sent to the 
recorder. The red LED illuminates 
when the controller is sending out 
Sample temperature to recorder.  

CHAM 

Selects the Chamber thermocouple 
as the temperature to be sent out to 
the recorder. The red LED illumi-
nates when the controller sending out
chamber temperature to the recorder.

SCAN 

Tells computer to scan both thermo-
couples at fixed rate (two seconds 
for the chamber thermocouple,     
followed by ten seconds for the  
sample thermocouple) and outputs 
the information to the recorder.

Note:

The SAMP and CHAM LEDs will alternately illumi-

nate during scanning to indicate the thermocouple being
scanned at that moment.

Note:

The SCAN keypad does not have a LED indicator.   

e. Program Display

The digital LED display of

the selected program, section
number, rate, hold time, elapse
time, and setpoint temperatures.

f. Display

Four indicators permit the operator to toggle the

display of the programmed/actual chamber or cham-
ber/sample temperature.

CONTROL NAME FUNCTION

PROG/ACT

Manually toggles the display section 
between the programmed, or actual 
temperature value.

Note:

When in PROG mode, automatically toggles

between programmed temperature and target temperature
for that programmed section.  

CHAM/SAMP 

Must be in ACT, manually switches

the display section between the CHAM and SAMP value.
