KIC 2000 v2.4.0.x
36 KIC 2000 User Manual
The maximum operating temperature for the
KIC Explorer profiler is 85°C/185°F. If your
process temperatures will cause the KIC Explorer
to exceed this limit then DO NOT place the
profiler into the oven.
Starting the Profile
Make sure your KIC Profiler is powered on and ready to profile.
Once the oven has stabilized and you are ready to load the profiler and profile board into the oven select the
Green Traffic Light button.
• Depending on the settings in the SlimKIC 2000 or KIC Explorer and in the software you may have
to initialize the profiler at times. The KIC 2000 software will let you know when this is necessary.
This is done by attaching the cable from the receiver to the back of the SlimKIC 2000 or by
connecting the communication cable direclty to the KIC Explorer. Click on OK when it gives the
message that the initialization was successful. You will then be able to continue as normal.
• After you select on the Profile Start button
the software will ask if all the oven control
thermocouples are within 2 degrees of the
set point value. See Figure 56.
¾ If you choose Yes, you will proceed to the next
profile sequence screen.
¾ If you choose NO, it will ask you to let the oven stabilize. If
the oven has stabilized and it still is not within 2 degrees of
the set values, your oven is not able to control to those oven
settings. Set the control temperatures it can control, return to
the Main Screen and start the profile over. See Figure 57.
Follow the on-screen instructions for best results
If your answer is YES it will prompt you to place the KIC
Profiler and profile board into the oven. See Figure 58.
Trailing Wire Profiling
The SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer profilers can be used with
elongated thermocouples or a thermocouple extension long enough
to pass through the process. This is especially useful for low
clearance processes or higher temperature processes that would
normally cause a KIC profiler to overheat while inside the oven.
If you plan to keep the SlimKIC 2000 or KIC Explorer connected
during the profile, ignore any message to unplug the download
cable from the profiler. At the end of the profile, be sure and leave
the product TC's connected long enough to achieve the profile-stop
trigger value, 110°C, otherwise the profile will not complete.
Leave the product TC’s connected until the download has
completed and the KIC 2000 asks you to turn off the KIC profiler.
