The hot bonder ramps once to a single set point, holds for the programmed
length of time then ramps down.
DUAL:
The hot bonder ramps once to a first set point, holds for the programmed
length of time, ramps to a second set point, holds for the programmed length of time,
then ramps down.
TRIPLE:
The hot bonder ramps once to a first set point, holds for the programmed
length of time, ramps to a second set point, holds for the programmed length of time,

AVERAGE:
This mode uses a mathematical average of all active temperature inputs
as the control temperature.
LOWEST:
This mode uses the lowest active thermocouple as the control
temperature.
HIGHEST:
This mode uses the highest active thermocouple as the control
temperature.
SPECIFIC:
Any active thermocouple, T/C 1 to T/C 10, can be selected as the control
sensor.
7.
Select the temperature units by touching either Deg F or Deg C.
8.
Select the vacuum pressure units by touching inHg for inches of mercury, mmHg for
millimeters of mercury, or mBar for millibars.
9.
Set printer mode to ON or OFF as required.
10. Set data logging interval from 1 to 99 minutes.
