Fast Cal Series Iss.07 – 08/13
Instrument Address
The controller has a configurable "address" which is used for PC communications. Each instrument has an address; this
allows several instruments to be connected in parallel on the same communications bus. The default value is 1. This address
would only need to be changed if more than one Dry Block is connected to the same PC port.
To check the Address value press the scroll key until the lower display indicates,
ADDR
The upper display will show the current value that can be modified with the UP and DOWN keys.
MONITORING THE CONTROLLER STATUS
A row of beacons indicate the controllers status as follows,
OP1
Heat Output
OP2
Cool Output (only for models which operate below 0°C)
REM
This beacon indicates activity on the PC interface
For models fitted with cool down fans, such as the Calisto and Jupiter, the lower display will alternate between the setpoint
and the message, cooling to temperature. This message is not an error but is showing that the cooling fan is operating. It
will automatically switch off when the temperature is within 5°C of the setpoint.
Units
Momentary pressing of the Scroll key will show the controller units °C or °F.
THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR (SITE (S) MODELS ONLY)
The site models include an electronic temperature indicator. The indicator can be configured for the desired sensor type,
and for custom calibration data. The customer calibration data can be set ON or OFF.
Setting the Input Type
A 100 Ohm resistance thermometer can be connected to the PRT Connector or a thermocouple may be connected to the
miniature TC Connector.
Ensure that only a PRT or a TC is connected at any one time. If a PRT and TC are connected simultaneously the
indicator will read in error.
Check that any sensor placed into the equipment is suitable for the temperature range. Sensors can be damaged if taken
outside their normal operating limits.
The desired sensor type is easily set, press the Scroll key until the lower display indicates,
