TEMP SETUP
The Temp Setup contains functions related to temperature setup.
SETUP
The SETUP menu contains the parameters that set the stability limit and scan rate for the Product.
SCAN RATE
The Scan Rate parameter can be set such that when the set-point is changed, the Product heats or
cools at a specified rate, degrees per minute (°C/min or °F/min), until it reaches the new set-point.
The Scan Rate can be set from 0.1 to 500 °C/min (0.2 to 900 °F/min). However, the maximum scan
rate is limited by the natural heating or cooling rate of the Product, which is often much less than
500 °C/min (900 °F/min), especially when cooling.
Use the arrow buttons to adjust the scan rate. Once the scan rate has been set, push
ENTER
to accept
the new scan rate.
STABLE LIMIT
Note
The Product should not be expected to operate better than the stability specification set forth in
. The minimum setting of the stability limit should not be less than the stability
specification.
The STABLE LIMIT parameter notifies the user when it has achieved the stability limit set in this
parameter. There are two notifications: visual and audible. The visual notification is always active. As
the Product operates within the stability limit, the stability graph on the main screen remains flat once
the Product is within the given specification for 1 minute. Otherwise the graph indicates that the
Product is not yet stable. The audible, if enabled, alerts the user once per set-point when the Product
achieves the set stability limit. Use the arrow buttons to set the desired stability limit and push
ENTER
to accept the new stability limit. During calibration, the stability limit is 0.01 °C. Always use this setting
in the field.
Example
When the Product's stability is within ±0.01 °C for 1 minute, the graph is flat and the audible alarm (if
enabled) notifies the user that the Product is operating within ±0.01°C.
STABLE ALARM
To turn on or off the audible alarm described in
, use the STABLE ALARM parameter.
Push the left or right arrow button to select either
Enable
or
Disable
and push
ENTER
to accept the
selection.
IRT
The IRT menu contains the nominal emissivity of the ETRS. This parameter cannot be changed.
