The default value is Medium. The progression from Very Slow to Fast provides more energy to heat the
thermode. Use the table below as a guide to optimizing the coarse heating rate. Select the
recommended coarse heating rate by pressing keys 1 through 4. Typical COARSE HEATING RATES are
Very Slow for small peg tip thermodes, Slow for 0.4” wide thermodes, Medium for 1.5” thermodes, and
Fast for large thermodes.

NOTE: 17BW and 17FW thermodes, 60 to 100 mm long, can only be heated using 4kVA Models.
Selecting 2 on the MANUAL TUNING screen will bring up the SET FINE HEATING RATE screen.
The default value is 85%. A value from
85 to 95% is appropriate for 80% of
thermodes. The effective range of the
SET FINE HEATING RATE is usually in
the 50 to 99 % range. A larger
ercentage means that more energy is
available to heat the thermode. A setting
of 85% is typical for small peg tip
thermodes. A setting of 95-97% is
typical of blade and foldup thermodes.

◄► Adjust , Page, Graph / Data
Adjustments in the SET FINE HEATING RATE can help optimize temperature rise time with overshoot.
Use the ◄►cursor keys to adjust the fine heating rate, from 0 to 99%. The selected rate will be
displayed graphically as a percentage of the indexed grid, and as a numerical value.
