PAGE 20
FLUID COMPONENTS INTL CHAPTER 3 - OPERATION Figure 3-1. 5294 Control Circuit Jumper Locations The reason for operation in the above extreme conditions is that the input signal range is at the widest point making the alarm set point adjustment easier to perform. If the heater does cycle the operator may need to use the next lower wattage setting. In some applications it is desirable to set the heater wattage high, even though the sensing element goes into the heater cutoff mode.
