Control loop
Over temperature
Heater OFF until
temp <95% limit or
limit + 5K
Sensor temperature is above specified limit.
Look for overheating caused by incorrect PID, heater or
sensor configuration or other heat sources.
Over cooling
Gas flow OFF until
temp >105% limit or
limit + 5K
Sensor temperature is below specified limit.
Look for incorrect PID, sensor or gas flow configuration or
other cooling sources.
