F4 Ramping Controllers

• F4S Single Channel Ramping
• Single channel temperature or process control
  with profile capability
• F4D Dual Channel Ramping
• Allows temperature and humidity control in one
  package

5
What Is a Ramping Controller?
Output follows a set of user instructions
(profile), to automatically adjust or hold set
point for different time periods.
6
Ramping or Fixed Set Point Operation

• Ramp and Soak Programmable Control
• Control operation automatically follows a set
  (profile) of preprogrammed instruction to perform
  a processing task.
• Static Set Point Control
• Operator intervention is required when processing
  changes are needed.
