13.5 Fuser Unit Control Circuit
13.5.1
Configuration
In this equipment, the surface temperature of the fuser roller is controlled by turning ON/OFF 2 heater
lamps (center and side) which have different heat-generating positions with the command from the SoC
on the MAIN board. The surface temperature of the fuser roller is detected by 3 thermistors (center,
side and edge) and then the information of the temperature is transmitted to the SoC and each control
circuit. Based on the detected temperature, the SoC transmits the control signal of the heater lamp to
the control circuit (TRC: Triac) of each heater lamp on the switching regulator. The power supply to
each fuser roller is thus controlled by driving TRC. The SoC detects the overheating of the fuser roller.
In case that the surface temperature of the fuser roller has exceeded the specified temperature, the
SoC turns the heater lamp OFF.
If the SoC does not function for some reason and the fuser roller is abnormally overheated as the
result, a forcible power-OFF circuit transmits a relay-OFF signal to the switching regulator to shut off the
power supply to the heater lamp by opening the relay. In addition, if these control circuits do not func-
tion with thermistor abnormality or other reasons and the fuser roller is abnormally overheated as the
result, thermostat shut off the power supply to the heater lamps to protect the equipment.
