RK3000 High Frequency Power Supply
Operating Manual
Page 35 of 73
The normal operating mode for the Quench parameter is Arc mode. In that mode, only
when an Arc occurs will the control Quench (turn-off) the power for the number of cycles
programmed into the Quench Time (under the discrete Quench key). Under some
circumstances, like extreme upset conditions, it may be desirable to quench the power
when either an Arc or a Spark occurs.
If the operating mode is to be changed, simply press the 0 or 1 key corresponding to the
new mode (the old value will be overwritten) and press ENTER. If the present operating
mode is acceptable, simply press ENTER without making any changes
Press the DOWN or UP keys to view more prompt screens or press ESC to return the
display to either the Electrical Reading Screen or the Device Status Screen depending on
the screen you were in prior to pressing the PROMPT key.
Process Sense
Press the PROMPT key and then the DOWN
key until the “Process Sense” Prompt
Screen appears
Pres
s ENTER and the ‘Process Sense” Parameter Screen will appear.
Process Sense is the time interval where the control senses to see if sparking has
occurred. If sparking has not occurred in this time period, and the control is not at a limit,
the control will rapidly raise the power level at a preprogrammed ramp rate, until a spark
or a limit is reached. This allows a rapid recovery after an upset condition.
The acceptable range for the Process Sense time period is presented to the right to the
word “Range.” In this example the range is 10 to 99 seconds.
The present operating value is presented to the right of the word “Enter”. In this example
the present operating value is 90 seconds.
If the operating value is to be changed, simply press the numeric keys corresponding to
the new value (the old value will be overwritten) and press ENTER. If the present
operating value is acceptable, simply press ENTER without making any changes.
