Fixing Temperature Control
●
Heater Temperature Control
The heater temperature control is to keep the fixing heater in the fixing film unit to the
specified temperature.
The engine controller monitors the fixing heater temperature detection signal (FSRTH) and
outputs the fixing heater drive signal (FSRD) according to the detected temperature.
The fixing heater drive PCB controls the fixing heater according to this signal to keep the
fixing heater temperature within the target values.

Protective Functions
●
Protective Function of fixing assembly
Host machine carries the following 3 functions to prevent the fixing heater from overheating.
1) Protective function by CPU
CPU of engine controller monitors the thermistor (TH1) temperature consistently.
When TH1 reaches approx 220 deg C, CPU determines that the fixing heater is overheating
and stops the fixing heater drive signal (FSRD) output and also turns OFF relays to shut
the power supply to fixing heater.
2) Protection function by fixing heater safety circuit
Fixing heater safety circuit monitors the thermistor (TH1) temperature consistently.
When TH1 reaches approx 235 deg C, it determines that the fixing heater is overheating
and the fixing heater safety circuit turns OFF the relay drive circuit to shut the power supply
to the fixing heater.
3) Protection function by temperature fuse (TP1)
When the fixing heater temperature rises abnormally and temperature fuse (TP1)
temperature reaches approx 226 deg C, TP1 opens to shut the power supply to the fixing
heater.
●
Failure detection
With this machine, 8 types of failure detection are available.
1) Initial startup failure detection
When temperature of the Fixing Assembly does not exceed 50 deg C within 1.48 sec after
the start of temperature control performed at initial rotation, it is judged as initial startup
failure.
2) Initial Thermistor open detection
When temperature of the Fixing Assembly does not exceed 35 deg C within 1.48 sec after
the start of temperature control at warm-up rotation temperature control or at cleaning
mode, it is judged as Thermistor open failure.
3) Short circuit of Thermistor/abnormal high temperature detection
When temperature of the Fixing Assembly is 220 deg C or higher for 30 consecutive times
by monitoring the temperature for every 5 msec, it is judged as Thermistor short circuit
failure. In addition, this function also doubles as abnormal high temperature detection
function of the Fixing Assembly.
