HS5000R2 & R2C Control Panels
The HS5000R2 heating system is available with 2 types of control panels. The standard control panel is usually used as part of a processing machine or fixture where it will be controlled by user supplied operators such as a PLC. The dual timer/power control panel is typically used for stand alone benchtop applications.
The HS5000R2 standard panel includes basic system status LED's, a 3 digit LED display of power output while heating and a potentiometer to set heating power. Heating on and off is accomplished by user supplied controls connected to the power supply via a 6' long control cable. This cable also enables pickup of a 0-2.5V DC signal to verify that the system is heating properly and a SPDT relay output energized when the system is heating. It also allows the user to control the heating power by applying a 0-10Vdc signal from a PLC, temp controller, etc. A selector switch located on the control circuit board inside the unit must be set to choose the desired power control source.

The HS5000R2C Dual Timer control panel includes 2 digital timers with large LED displays. The timers are easy to use and can be set to tenths of a second from 0-999.9s. Each timer is paired with a power control knob to enable use of two heating levels in a cycle. For example, a part can be heated rapidly at full power and once it gets to the desired temperature the second timer will automatically activate at a lower power level to hold the part at temp for the desired time.
The panel also includes LED status lights, a 3 digit KW output display that shows the current heating power and START and STOP pushbuttons. A remote START/STOP actuator can also be used if preferred by selecting REM ON and plugging the actuator into the remote jack on the side of the power supply.
