The default position of the cursor is next to Control TC. Press the Increase

or Decrease

button to select the number of control

thermocouples to be used for the program. Selections are as follows: 1, 1,2, 1,2,3, or 1,2,3,4. TC1 MUST always be a control thermocouple. TC2

thru TC4 can be used for controlling or monitoring. When a thermocouple is selected as control, the LED adjacent to the seven-segment display

illuminates.

Use the Cursor

button to move the cursor to the desired selection (Ramp Temperature, Ramp Rate, Soak Temperature, or Soak Time),

and press the Increase

The minimum and maximum ramp temperature settings for PWHT are 0 and 14505 F (−18 and 7885 C). The minimum and maximum ramp rates

are 10 and 99995 F/hr (6 and 55555 C/hr). The minimum and maximum soak temperatures are 0 and 14505 F (−18 and 788 5 C). The minimum

and maximum soak times are 0 and 100 hours. When the system is utilizing air-cooled blankets, the maximum temperature setting is 4005 F (2045

C). If the program setting is above 4005 F (2045 C), the following screen will appear on the LCD display when the Run button is pressed.

6-4-1-4. Custom Program

In Custom Program, the operator can create a custom program with multiple steps or nonsymmetrical heat treat programs where the heating and

cooling rates and temperatures are different. When this process is selected, the following screen appears on the display:

.

This is the screen for initial use of the system. Subsequent use of custom program will revert to the last program used.
