9.3.1.1 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 Nordson 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. This
window is used as a quick-check for viewing Set Points (SP) and Present Value, also referred to as
Process Variable (PV).
NOTE Refer to the applicable dispensing system or option manual for specific instructions on
setting up heater loops for fluid cooling and temperature sensing devices.
For detailed explanations, factory-set configuration settings, and advanced controller optimization
information, refer to the Heater User Guide included with your dispensing system documentation. The
Anafaze is the dispensing system controller that communicates with FmXP to control the heaters. While
you will only be able to access the controller through FmXP, 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
Heater.
The Heater Control Window (Figure 9-3) opens.
