Setting the temperature above 300 C or 600 F

[Lord Farquad]

I'm running an experiment and I'm setting the temperature limit through the Escribe software. However, I want the temperature limit to be above 300C or 600 F.

is there a way through the escribe software or serial commands to set the limit above those?

From the data sheet DNA250, 200, 75, 60....

The maximum temperature is adjustable between 200° Fahrenheit and 600° Fahrenheit. To disable the temperature protection entirely, adjust the limit up to 600 degrees, then press the UP button one additional time. The temperature limit will read OFF.

What experiment are you running that needs to be above 600F?  Sounds kinda crazy to me....lol

@retird

Thank you so much for the reply. I was hoping to set the temperature limit above 600 not turn off temperature control completely. I think if the data sheet says I can't then i'd better look into other solutions 

thanks for the reply though

Alter the material curve, keeping in mind resistances will be normalized around the 70F value.

For example, if the working range for your test is 600 to 800F, look up the ratio of resistances to the 70F value. Then put those values for 400F to 600F in the curve. Then if you set it to 500F you will get 700F etcetra. By shifting the curve you will shift the readings but be able to go over 600F.

Seeing as how @James gave you a method, here's a touch more detail. Steam-engine, wire wizard. Use material of your choice, click equivalents, put in desired temp of your test. In new material type, use the same wire profile, it will show the resistance required for that temp. If I'm wrong hopefully someone else will chime in.

Just make sure to leave temperatures under 150F or so alone. They are used for Cold Ohms correction as well.

Hey guys thank you so much for your input. It really helps
