How to create very long programs in the DynaTrol?
A customer asks:
In the Dynatrol reference manual under SOAK it states “The control will soak at Final Set Point for up to 99 hours, 99 minutes and can be programmed to hold a temperature as long as 66 days before needing to be reset”. I cannot set this soak time greater 99 hours, 99 minutes. How can I set this for 30 days?
Here is the math:
Each segment in a vary-fire program can have a 99.99 hour hold. 8 segments x 99.99 hours is 799.92 hours. Divide 799.92 by 24(hours) and you get 33.33 days. You can combine program 7 and 8 in one 16 segment program giving you a total of 66+ days.
