10. Click Next to proceed to the Temperature Limits screen.

11. The Temperature Limits fields allow temperature alarm limits unique to the test to be defined.

These values typically are set at 3°F for the minor limit and 15°F for the shutdown limit. If these

values are changed, be sure to enter values that will protect the specimen and system hardware

in case of control failure.
NOTE: Tests are not interrupted for minor alarms; however, an entry is made in the event log for

deviations beyond minor alarms.
12. The Setpoint Ramping Offset value is used to aid the furnace in reaching the operating

temperature more rapidly. This value should remain at 0.0°F. It is not recommended to use any

value other than 0.0°F.
