ManualCoilTemperatureCalibration
TheTemperatureUp/Downmenusetsthesetpointforthecoiltemperatureduringvaping.Thetemperature
setpointcanbeselectedfrom120°Cto280°C(250°F-540°F)instepsof5°C(10°F).Toachieveahighprecision
temperaturecontrol,acorrectlyperformedreferencemeasurement(TempCalInit)ismandatory,seenextitem.
TheTemperaturecalibrationmeasuresthecoilresistanceatroomtemperature(20°C)asthereference
fortemperaturecontrolledvaping.Thistogetherwiththewire’stemperaturecoefficientenablesthemod
tocalculatethecoil’stemperature.Thecalibrationmustbeconfirmedinasecondsteptoavoidaccidential
activation.Afterconfirmationthedisplayshows“process”untilthecalibrationcompleted.Itisextremely
importanttounderstand,that,ifthecalibrationisperformedatatemperatureotherthan20°C,thecontrol
willregulateaconstanttemperature,butwithanoffsetdeviation.Sotaketheambienttemperatureduring
thetemperatureadjustmentintoaccount.Similiar,ifawrongtemperaturecoefficientwasadjusted,the
actualtemperaturemightdeviatedramaticallyfromtheset-point(hereitisafactorandnotanoffset).
Alwaysperformacalibration,whenanewatomizerisattached,evenifitismadefromthesamecoil
material.
Forfurtherinformationaboutthistopic,pleasereadthe“AppicationNoteforTemperatureControlled
Vaping”,availableonthedicodes-modswebsite.
InTC-mode,ifthedisplaydoesnotshow20°Caftercalibration,evenwithacooleddownatomizer,we
recommededtoperformthecalibrationagain.
Notethatforcoilswithverylowresistance,likeNickel-coils,aslightmechanicalrearrangement(tightening
theatomizer)canleadtodrasticalchangesinthetemperaturecontrolduetothechangeofcontact
resistances.Wethereforercommendto useotherthanNickelcoils,e.g.TheNiFe30(RESISTHERM)wire
fromdicodes.
Notethatthedisplaywillbecontinouslyupdated,iftheplusorminusbuttoniskeptpressedafterthevalues
havebeenhighlighted(orinverted).Thiscanhelpduringproblemdiagnoses.
