6.4 Heater Control Unit
The heater control unit (HCU-0001) is fail-safe (redundantly) constructed. It switches the probe heater off
automatically when exceeding the operating temperature of the probe. The switch-off temperature is set at 810°C /
1490°F. Beyond that, the heating is switched off if the temperature difference between the two thermocouples
exceeds
30°C / 54°F. The electronic unit goes into a state of self-preservation. This means that with the occurrence of a
disturbance the electronic unit must be reset by powering off the system and switching it back on. The disturbances
are signaled by red LEDs on the plate. The green LED signals the error free operating condition.
