Connection Assembly
Safety: Ensure the voltage, phase and cycle on the temperature control panel is the same as the power supply.
Turn the A/M switch to the
0
(off) position.
1.
Install a suitable electrical connector to the power supply cable. Refer to the electrical specifications
indicated on the serial plate and in the record of purchase. Ensure the green wire is connected to earth.
2.
Lift the covers on the platen connectors on the back panel of the temperature control panel and connect the
platen cables. Press the plugs firmly into the receptacles and rotate the latches to secure the plugs. When the
cables are removed, close the covers to protect the connector from water and dirt.
3.
Connect the temperature control panel to the power supply. Refer to the electrical specifications indicated
on the serial plate and in the record of purchase. The temperature controllers should indicate the actual
platen temperature and the set point temperature.
5.
OPERATION
The RC3(P)-LOG temperature control panel has one
datalogging temperature control unit, which controls
the temperature of the upper platen and the lower
platen. The average user need only adjust the
temperature set points for top and bottom platen. The
temperature controller has many other settings that
have been set by the factory.
The operator interface consists of a display screen and
four navigation push buttons.
PAGE BUTTON
From
any
non-configuration
page,
pressing this push button causes the top
level menu (figure 4:) to appear. The
figure shows the menu for a user logged in with ‘Engineer’ level access. Other access levels
may have fewer menu items.
Within configuration pages, the Scroll button can be used as an enter key to select lower menu
levels. In such cases the page button is used to reverse this action, moving the user up one
menu level per operation.
SCROLL BUTTON
From trending pages, operation of the scroll push-button scrolls through the channels enabled
in the group. The Faceplate cycling ‘Off’ selection can be used to keep a particular channel
permanently displayed, and the scroll pushbuttons can then be used to select channels
manually.
In configuration pages, the scroll key operates as an ‘enter’ key to enter the next menu level
associated with the highlighted item. Once the lowest menu level is reached, operation of the
scroll key allows the value of the selected item to be edited by the relevant means (for
example, the raise/lower keys, or a keyboard entry).
The ‘Page’ key is used to move the user back up the menu structure, until the top level
menu is reached, when the scroll key can be used again to return to the Home page.
