Table 7-11 Remote Boost Fields
Item Description
Temperature Setpoint Remote boost is started by a digital input signal from the IMM. This
setting raises all zones to their remote boost setpoint until the timer
completes or the input signal is off. Possible values are 0 to 500 °C or 32
to 932 °F. The default value is No Change.
Temperature Minimum
These values specify the range limits in which the Remote Boost
Temperature can be set.
Temperature Maximum
Power Setpoint Remote boost is started by a digital input signal from the IMM. This
setting raises all zones to their remote boost setpoint until the timer
completes or the input signal is off. Possible values are 0% – 100%. The
default value is 90%.
Power Minimum
These values specify the percentage range limits in which the Remote
Boost Power can be set.
Power Maximum
Table 7-12 Advanced Settings Fields
Item Description
Output Power Limit Touch this field to set the maximum percentage of power output that the
system can supply to the zone(s).
Slaved To Zone Slaving can be necessary when a zone's thermocouple fails during
normal operation. After a master zone is specified, the zone is able to
continue operation. The Slave To Zone setting lets you use the master
zone's power output percentage for the selected zone. A value of No
Slave means that the selected zone is not slaved to a master zone.
Thermocouple
Assignment
The number of the thermocouple to which the zone is connected.
Output Mode Changes the power output modulation for a zone during normal
operation. Choices are Zero Cross or Phase Angle.
Heater Type Select one of the heater types that follow: None, Tips, Manifold, or Sprue.
These settings are used to configure the power deviation alarm.
AMC - Automatic
Manual Control
Automatic Manual Control (AMC) lets the Altanium automatically apply a
manual power output percentage to a heater based on a historical
average if a thermocouple fails.
PCM - Priority Control
Mode
The Priority Control Mode (PCM) controls what the controller will do in an
abort condition.
