Chapter 4 Heater Control
The Clean button activates the selected heating cycle, which is used to
remove deposited material from the crystal surface.
During a typical Clean procedure, Soak and Soak 2 phases engage. Once soaking is
complete, the heater is triggered and guided by the parameters it has been assigned on
the Heater Settings List. The program will rst raise the sensor body to the Set Point
temperature, maintain the temperature for the Clean Time duration, and then “force-cool”
for the time specied by the Cool Time entry. Selecting Heater Shutoff deactivates a
cleaning cycle.
The Activate Heater button manually activates the heater. The program
raises the temperature to the Set Point and maintains that temperature indenitely until
the heater is manually shutoff. Unlike the Clean button. The Activate Heater button
provides no automated control over clean and cool times. Otherwise, just as with the
Clean command, the Activate Heater command engages Soak and Soak 2 and triggers
the heater. Selecting Heater Shutoff deactivates the Activate Heater command.
The Heater Shutoff button instantly deactivates the heater, regardless of
current process or cycle status. Note: If selection of Heater Shutoff is not followed by use
of a forced-cooling method (e.g., Mirage), the temperature of the sensor head will cool
slowly.
