6-4-1-2. Bake-Out

The bake-out process allows the operator to program a temperature and soak time as well as a cooling rate from bake-out if desired. When this process is selected, the following screen appears on the display:

Bake-Out Screen

Mode......: Bake−Out

Control TC:>1

Soak Temp.: 600 Soak Time: 01:00:00

Cool Temp.: 200 Cool Rate: 600 _/Hr

The default position of the cursor is next to Control TC. Press the Increase

or Decrease button to select the number of control

thermocouples to be used for the program. Selections are as follows: 1, 1,2, 1,2,3, or 1,2,3,4. TC1 MUST always be a control thermocouple. TC2 thru TC4 can be used for controlling or monitoring. When a thermocouple is selected as control, the LED adjacent to the seven-segment display illuminates.

Use the Cursor

button to move the cursor to the desired selection (Soak Temperature, Soak Time, Cool Temperature, or Cool Rate), and

press the Increase

or Decrease button to change the value to the desired setting.

.The minimum and maximum soak temperature settings for bake-out are 0 and 10005 F(−18 and 5385 C). The minimum and maximum soak times

are 0 and 1000 hours. The minimum and maximum cool rates are 10 and 9999 5/hr. When the system is utilizing air-cooled blankets, the maximum temperature setting is 4005 F(2045 C). If the program setting is above 4005 F (2045 C), the following screen will appear on the LCD display when the Run button is pressed:
