HBC-4301 Operators Manual - Novatech Controls

9.3 Repair map
This is the most useful screen to monitor the performance of a heat cycle at a glance. The
temperature of all the thermocouples can be seen superimposed onto a map of the repair.
The heaters can be set to an approximate shape and thermocouples placed in position as
selected by the operator. Once the temperature profile has been started, the temperature tags
will be attached to each thermocouple.
If a thermocouple is not within the temperature alarm thresholds (default settings are 2.5C or
5C, set in the Thermocouple and Zone Parameters screen) of the set point temperature the
background of the temperature tag will be set to light-blue / pink or dark-blue / red. Using
this method a cold or hot area of the repair will stand out at a glance.

In addition to colour coding of the actual temperatures, the control thermocouple circle (if the
highest thermocouple temperature has been selected for control) is set to red and the
acceptance thermocouple is set to blue.
When the repair is finished, the repair map is also saved. When a repair temperature profile is
retrieved for later examination the position of the heaters and thermocouples will also be
available.
