Program Set-Up.
The STAR 700 has a 25 segment Programmer. By pressing the ‘Program Set-Up’ the Program Screen
is displayed. The below information shows a description of each parameter and how it performs.
Segment Type:
The segment type can either be a
Time
,
Jump To
, or
End type
.
Time:
This determines that the segment is a period of time. The
time is set in Hours, Minutes and Seconds.
Jump To:
This allows the program to repeat a predetermined set of
segments. By selecting the ‘Jump To’ parameter in segment
type and then entering a segment value at the ‘Jump To’
parameter, will tell the program were to jump back to. At
‘Jump Cycle’ enter how many times it jumps back to or
repeats the predetermined set of segments. See Example on
next page.
End:
This tells the program when to end. There has to be an end
segment. Failure to enter an end segment will cause the
controller to indefinitely dwell at the last segment.
Jump To:
The operator would enter the segment number that the program will jump
back to.
Jump Cycle:
The operator would enter a value here as to how many times the ‘Jump To’
repeats itself. A value of 0 will continually repeat the Jump To segments
until the operator ends the Program Cycle manually.
Temperature:
The operator would enter the Temperature they require the cabinet to
achieve.
Humidity:
The operator would enter the Humidity they require the cabinet to achieve.
Co2:
The operator would enter the Co2 they require the cabinet to achieve.
Hours:
The operator would enter the required length of time for the segment in
Hours.
Minutes:
The operator would enter the required length of time for the segment in
Minutes.
Seconds:
The operator would enter the required length of time for the segment in
Seconds.
Event Outputs (Optional).
At each segment page there is an events button. By pressing this button the display shows Eight
events that can be turned ON and OFF for each segment. If the Events option is not taken this page
is still displayed and will function correctly. There is simply no Hardware to turn ON and OFF as part
of a program cycle.
Program Features.
There are a few other features of the program that cannot be changed but are described below.
Guaranteed Soak:
This is a tolerance value, set at +/-2.0degC, and guarantees that the Program
Set Values for Temperature only are reached. If during a program cycle the
Actual Temperature deviates the Program Set Value (PSV) by more than +/-
2.0degC the program will be put into a hold mode until the Actual
Temperature is within the PSV. There is no Guaranteed Soak on the
Humidity Value or the Co2 value. These values can deviate without the
program going into a hold mode.
Program Start Value:
The Program starts at whatever the Actual Temperature, Humidity and Co2
are. If when starting the program the Actual Temperature is more than +/-
2.0degC from Segment 1’s PSV the Guaranteed Soak value will hold the
program until it reaches Segment 1’s target temperature.
Power Failure:
In the event of a power failure the Program Cycle will end. On resumption of
power the cabinet will control the Safe Operating Values.
