Included in your system parts is a thermocouple. The thermocouple is the sensor used for communicating
temperature signals to the controller. Practical common sense should be used to position the sensor. The sensor
should be placed such that it can detect the average temperature of the heated medium. In other words, the
thermocouple needs to be protected from the heater’s direct rays without being too far away for the controller
to detect a temperature increase promptly. Your complete system, as designed by Ecodyst, has an architecture
that allows you to slide the temperature probe securely into your solution via the lid of the reaction vessel. The
thermocouple can then be connected to the controller by plugging it into the receptacle of the temperature sensor
port on the controller box.
2.2 Sensor Placement
1. High Limit Controller
–This controller measures the temperature at which the over-temperature circuit is
activated to disconnect power from the receptacles (13). Visit Section 3.3 for more information on Setting the
controller for safe connection.
2. Setpoint Controller
–The setpoint controller is used by the user for regulating the temperature of the reaction to
desired or appropriate measures.
3. Temperature Display
–The process temperature is always shown on the temperature display. The intended
temperature is shown as the set point temperature when the ‘
*
’ button is pressed.
4. Raises set point
when ‘
*
’ button (6) is simultaneously pressed.
5. Lowers set point
when ‘
*
’ button (6) is simultaneously pressed.
