1 General information
This RESISTRON® temperature controller is manufac-
tured according to EN 61010-1. In the course of its
manufacture it passed through quality assurance,
whereby it was subjected to extensive inspections and
tests. As a result of this, the product left our factory in
perfect condition.
Please carefully read through the operating manual
before using the RESISTRON® temperature controller.
Keep the operating manual for later reference and
make sure that information and functions important for
the user are available.
The recommendations and warning notes contained in
these operating instructions must be complied with, in
order to guarantee safe operation.
The device can be operated within the limits indicated
in the "Technical Data" without impairing its operational
safety. Installation and maintenance may only be
performed by technically trained, skilled persons who
are familiar with the associated risks and warranty
provisions.

1.2 Intended use
RESISTRON® temperature controllers may only be
used for heating and temperature control of heatsealing
bands which are expressly approved for them, and
providing the regulations, notes and warnings
contained in these instructions are observed.
In case of non-observance or use contrary to the
intended purpose, there is a risk that safety will be
impaired or that the heatsealing band, electrical wiring,
transformer etc. will overheat. This is the personal
responsibility of the user.
1.3 Heatsealing band
The use of suitable heatsealing bands is a basic
prerequisite for reliable and safe operation of the
system.
The resistance of the heatsealing band which is used
must have a positive minimum temperature coefficient
in order to guarantee trouble-free operation of the
RESISTRON® temperature controller.
The temperature coefficient must be specified as
follows:
e.g. Alloy A20: TCR = 1100 ppm/K
LEX3500: TCR = 3500 ppm/K
Vacodil: TCR = 1100 ppm/K
The RESISTRON® temperature controller must be set
and coded according to the temperature coefficient of
the heatsealing band.
The temperature coefficient must be taken from the
ROPEX application report and must be set accordingly.
The use of incorrect alloys with a too low
temperature coefficient and incorrect coding
of the RESISTRON® temperature controller leads to
uncontrolled heating of the heatsealing band,
which will ultimately burn out!
The original heatsealing bands must be clearly
identified by means of suitable markings as well as the
connector geometry, length, or other means to ensure
that replacement bands are identical.
1.4 Impulse transformer
A suitable impulse transformer is necessary in order to
guarantee trouble-free operation of the control loop.
This transformer must be designed according to
EN 61558 or UL 5058 (isolating transformer with
reinforced insulation) and have a one section bobbin.
When the impulse transformer is installed, suitable
touch protection must be provided in accordance with
the national installation regulations for electrical
equipment. In addition to this, water, cleaning solutions
and conductive fluids must be prevented from seeping
into the transformer.
Incorrect installation of the impulse transformer impairs
electrical safety.
1.5 Current transformer PEX-W4/-W5
The current transformer supplied with the
RESISTRON® temperature controller is an integral part
of the control system.
