5.3  Warm Up Mode

The warm-up heater comes with a selectable warm-up mode that is designed to drive 
a heater to rapidly increase the temperature in a controlled system, for example, to 
bring a system to room temperature in order to change samples.

The control input parameter determines which sensor is used for feedback in the 
warm-up mode. Refer to section 4.6.1.5.1 for details on the control input parameter. 

Once the warm-up heater is configured for warm-up mode, press 

Warm-up Heater

 

button to display the warm-up heater control information on the display screen. 
Next, press 

Setpoint

 and set the desired temperature, then press 

Heater Range

 and 

set the range to on to activate the output.

The Power Up Enable feature determines if the output will remain on after power is 
cycled. Refer to section 4.6.3 for details on the Power Up Enable feature.

5.3.1 Warm Up 
Percentage

The Warm Up Percentage parameter is used to determine the amount of current to 
apply to the heater when the warm-up heater is configured for warm-up mode. 

The current applied will be the full scale output times the warm-up percentage. The 
full scale current output is dependent on the heater resistance and maximum current 
setting. For example, if a 25 

)

 heater is attached to the warm-up heater, the maxi-

mum current provided to the heater will be 0.63 A. Therefore, if the Warm Up Per-
centage is set to 50%, the current supplied to the heater will be 50% of 0.63 A, or 
0.32 A, when the output is on. For more information regarding the warm-up heater 
resistance and current settings, see section 4.6.1.2.

5.3.2 Warm Up Control

The Warm Up Control parameter determines what happens when the control set-
point is reached. The options are:

D

Auto-Off

: once the Heater Range is set to on, the Warm Up Percentage current is 

applied to the output (section 5.3.1) and the output stays on until the control 
input temperature reaches the control setpoint. The output will then be turned 
off, and the Heater Range setting will automatically be set to Off, effectively turn-
ing off all temperature control for the control loop. If the Heater Range is again 
manually set to on, the cycle will begin again, and the output will turn on and 
stay on until the control input temperature reaches the setpoint again.

: this mode implements what is often referred to as On/Off control. 

Once the Heater Range is set to on, the Warm Up Percentage current is applied to 
the output until the control input temperature reaches the setpoint. Then the 
output will turn off (0 V) until the temperature falls 1 K below the setpoint, at 
which point the Warm Up Percentage current is again applied to the output. The 
Heater Range will never be automatically set to Off in this mode.
