2General
Thank you for choosing the MCU-010 and for your confidence in the quality of our
products that goes with it. The MCU-010 circuit board consists of hardware and
firmware and serves the purpose of automated functional heating.
The purpose of the MCU-010 circuit board is to run through heating cycles, to be
adjusted by the end-user, over a defined length of time. This reduces time and effort
considerably as it does away with the need to set heating cycles manually on site. The
following sections describe in greater detail how to start and handle the MCU-010
board.
The following symbols are used in the present manual.
NOTE:
Highlights notes with information or instructions which may help you to better
understand the device and use
it more effectively.
WARNING:
A WARNING is used to draw your attention to sources of danger that might cause
material damage, injury or even death.
