Slaving Zones
This mode can be used if a thermal sensor has failed. Rather than switching
to manual, this option allows a faulty zone to be slaved to a working one. The
temperature on the faulty zone then mimics the good zone that is working in
auto (or closed loop).
There are several points to remember when slaving zones.
1. Zones can only be slaved to zones of the same type; i.e. manifold to
manifold or probe to probe.
2. Zones that are already slaved to a master cannot be used as masters for
another slave.
3. Zones cannot be slaved in loops. If zone 2 is slaved to zone 1, zone 1
cannot be slaved to zone 2.
4. Zones should only be slaved to masters of a similar power rating. Slaving
a zone to master of a signicantly di󰀨erent power rating may result in
incorrect temperature regulation.
5. When a zone is slaved its temperature readout will be replaced with
SLAVE.
A slave zone will be identied along with the zone it is slaved to (see below).
