Sample Application
A Series 982 controls a heated platen in a semiconductor oven. Previously
it used a power control requiring a 4-20mA signal to implement burst-fire
control. We have replaced the power control with a Watlow Loyola QPAC
with a QCD card that accepts a signal directly from an open-collector out-
put of the Series 982. This gives smooth control at a lower overall system
cost.
