Heater Control Window
The Heater Controls are used to setup and regulate the system heaters, needle heaters, fluid cooling, and
temperature sensing devices. This section explores the Heater Control user interface and teaches you how
to set up the configurable options. Heater Controls are configured at the Asymtek factory at the time of
shipment and usually do not need to be changed.
The Heater Control Window displays each available Heater loop and the settings for each loop. Optional
fluid cooling, Needle Heater, and temperature sensing devices may also be identified as a loop, along with
the Heaters. This window is used as a quick-check for viewing Set Points (SP) and Present Value, also
referred to as Process Variable (PV).
For detailed explanations, factory-set configuration settings, and advanced controller optimization
information, refer to the Anafaze User Guide included with your dispensing system documentation. The
Anafaze is the dispensing system controller that communicates with FmNT to control the heaters. While
you will only be able to access the controller through FmNT, the reference manual still contains valuable
information on settings.
CAUTION! Only trained service personnel should make adjustments to the Heater Control
settings. Incorrect settings may cause damage to the dispensing system or part.
To access the Heater Control Window:
1. In the Main Window, click on
Tools.
2. In the Tools Window, click on
Terminal.
3. Click on
