1.3 DRSSTC Instruction Manual
High Ambient Temperature
If ambient temperatures are higher than 70degF, especially
outside during hot summer days, it is recommended to keep
runtimes to a minimum. This is especially important if the coil is
placed on asphalt where surface temperatures could exceed
120degF on a hot sunny summer day.
Runtimes
Runtimes should minimized if long term reliability is desired.
We recommend keeping run times to a minimum (several
minutes at most) with cool down periods in between.
Operational Duty Cycle
Please note that the Plasmasonic system is not designed to be
operated in a continuous fashion. It is designed for light duty
demonstration purposes only. To maximum reliability, we
recommend a 25% ON / OFF duty cycle with a maximum ON
time of 2 minutes followed by 6 minutes of off (fans still enabled
for cooling)
Plasmasonic Operational Duty Cycle
Please note that the Plasmasonic DRSSTC System is classified as a light-duty
demonstrational unit only. It is not intended for continuous operation or for exhibit or
performance use where long duration operational times are required. Our general
recommendation for light demonstration use is a two minute demonstration followed by
at least a 5 minute OFF period where the fans are still operating to cool down
components. The main component that limits continuous operation is the primary coil
itself. To design a coil that is capable of continuous operation given the size and power
output of this particular coil, would require a water cooled primary. However, adding a
water cooled primary coil to this unit would greatly increase the cost, size, and
complexity of the unit.
