E. Temperature Controller
E.1 Temperature Controller Overview
The ATS temperature control system regulates the power applied to the resistive heating
elements to reach and maintain the desired temperature (setpoint) as measured by a
control thermocouple. The basic temperature control system includes the following:
• Setpoint temperature controller
• Solid state power controller
• One (1) matching control thermocouple
• Additional optional features include:
• High-limit alarms and over-temperature controllers
• SCR power controllers
• Multiple-zone independent controls
• Programmable Capabilities
The most extensive information needed to operate the system is found in the
manufacturers’ literature. It is recommended the operator read the entire manual and
become familiar with the equipment before attempting to perform any tests.
ATS temperature control systems are available in a variety of options and several
congurations. Those explained here are typical examples. Your model will dier in
appearance due to the options requested; however, the basic operating principles are the
same.
E.2 Temperature Controller Installation
1. Position the control cabinet in the desired location.
2. Connect the cables between the furnace and the control cabinet.
CAUTION: Use interconnecting cables of the proper gauge to match the
ratings on the data labels for the furnace and controller.
3. Connect the thermocouple to the control system.
