Table 2: Overview for FTC Inputs
7.1 Emissivity (analog)
Function:
emissivity (analog control)
Signal:
0 to 5 VDC
Terminal:
FTC1, GND
The FTC1 input can be configured to accept an analog voltage signal (0 to 5 VDC) to provide real time
emissivity setting. Each input can support one head. The following table shows the relationship
between input voltage and emissivity:
U in V

Table 3: Ratio between Analog Input Voltage and Emissivity
Example:
This process requires setting the emissivity:
 for product 1: 0.90
 for product 2: 0.40
Following the example below, the operator needs only to switch to position “product 1” or “product
2”.
