Chapter 3 ______________________________________________________ Functional Description
VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 35
The heating control tries to keep Th at +15 °C by adjusting the heating
power. The heater control switches heating resistors on and off based on
heating voltage and Th.
The instant current depends on the heater voltage. You must select the
power supply with the instant current in mind. The average (5s) heating
power and heater performance do not depend on the heating voltage.
When the heating function is disabled, the heating is off in all
conditions. See Supervisor Message on page 144.
