5 Barnstead |Thermolyne • 800-553-0039
Typical Profile For Programmable Models Above. Other Profiles May Be Formed.
4. The Type 30400 Automatic furnace is designed as a single set point controller which reaches and
maintains one temperature value.
Principles of Operation
1. Furnace: The furnace chamber is heated by four electric resistance heaters which are embedded in a
refractory material. The chamber is insulated with a ceramic fiber insulation. The temperature is
controlled by an automatic proportioning controller using a platinel thermocouple to feed back
information. The control is located under the furnace chamber and is well insulated from the heat
generated in the furnace chamber. The door hinges may be attached for either left or right hand
opening.
2. Temperature Controller - "Automatic": This furnace controller consists of a microprocessor based
three mode temperature controller having adjustable over-temperature protection and appropriate
output switching devices to control the furnace. This controller is capable of one temperature setting.
3. Temperature Controller - "Programmable": This furnace controller consists of a microprocessor based
three mode temperature controller/programmer with adjustable overtemperature protection and
appropriate output switching devices to control the furnace. These controllers are capable of multiple
temperature settings by setting ramp and dwell segments.
NOTE
When in the program RUN mode, the programmable controller serves to provide a
programmed temperature profile as described earlier. When in the single setpoint
automatic mode, the unit serves as an automatic temperature controller.
