How to use
52
• Cooldown time. There is an additional cooling after furnace thermocouple reports low
temperature – stabilization. Stabilization is used to wait until heat accumulated inside
furnace block escapes completely. This setting will define stabilization time.
• Lids closed. During cooling furnace will be opened completely at some point and lids
carousel will be moved up (to speed up cooling). However, when cooling blower will come
up, then sample leftovers may get blown out of the crucibles. This setting will keep lids
closed, to prevent this.
• Temperature. Cooling will continue until furnace temperature is less than the specified.
Device
Device specific settings.
• Delay for lids adding. This setting is applicable for instruments without lids carousel.
When adding lids furnace will be half-opened and user have to place lids on top of all
crucibles. This setting will define a delay which is applied between rotating from one
crucible position to another.
• Delay for lids removal. This setting is applicable for instruments without lids carousel.
When removing lids furnace will be half-opened and user have to remove lids from all
crucibles. This setting will define a delay which is applied between rotating from one
crucible position to another.
• Motor 1:35 [A]. Used for rotating carousel. It has to be set for the instruments with 1:35
motor gear transmission (by default 1:40 steps are used).
• No lids [A]. This setting has to be set for instruments without lid carousel. If any of
Application stages has set closed lids, then there will be a prompt to confirm furnace
opening/closing during analysis to add/remove lids directly on top of crucibles.
• Stability [A]. Set to change balance stability. By default it is set to 0 , which means do not
change balance stability. If value is set to 1 to 4 , then a special command to change
balance stability will be sent each time when balance is tare. Higher number means more
unstable conditions.
Heater
Settings related to heater temperature regulation.
• Heater graph [A]. Maximum time to keep heater graphs in the memory. When time is
expired graphs will begin shifting content: first points will be deleted after adding new
points to the end.
• PID [A]. This is an array of PID ranges. PID window is shown to edit this setting.
• PWM Limit[A]: Limit pwm maximum, default setting is 255.
• Security [A]. Enable or disable heater security and logging altogether.
• Temperature calibration [A]. Furnace thermocouple multipoint temperature calibration.
Keep empty for no calibration or specify pair of values delimited with comma, semicolon
or space, where first value is what you see and second is what must be.
• Thermocouple [A]. Select furnace and coil (if present) thermocouple type.
• Time [A]. PID averaging time. PID regulation uses average furnace temperature to avoid
rapid heater power changes due to a noise. This setting will define averaging time.
• Tref offset [A]. When reading environmental temperature Tref, used to calculate actual
temperature inside the furnace, there is a certain offset, caused by electronics. This
setting allows removing this offset and obtaining accurate Tref.
• Zelio[A]: Enable Zelio tempertur controller. Default setting is disabled.
