MC-2000 controlls air temperature and humidity in order to achieve optimum conditions for wood drying
inside the chamber. MC-2000
controls its relay outputs automatically, semi-automatically or user can
do it manually based on data obtained from temperature and EMC probes
(in 2 points) and wood MC probes (obtained from 8 points). Also,
control of drying process is adjusted according to other settings set by
user.
In automatic operation mode, MC-2000 follows chosen
drying schedule (regime). There are 12 invariable (built-in) schedules
which are inserted in unit's memory by "NIGOS" during production and
which can not be changed. In addition, user can make his own regimes and
store it in additional 8 free slots. Beside selection of the regimes
themselves, user must select 1 of 4 available wood types as well as
timber thickness in range 20 to 80mm in steps of 1mm. Automatic controll
units from other manufacturers have predefined regimes for each of these
situatons. In case we would make comparesment in such way using only 3
standard thickness (instead of available 60), we can claim that this
controller has more than 200 drying regimes as other manufacturers such
as Holzmeister and some italian manufacturers present.
In semi-automatic operation mode user set the desired
values for temperature and EMC based on personal experience and measured
wood MC and automatic control unit MC-2000 only maintain this values
inside the chamber.
In manual operation mode, buttons on the right side
of device labeled with OUTPUTS are used. These buttons give the user an ability to manually control heating,
drying, fans operation and spraying. While in manual operation mode, MC-2000 only displays
measured values for T, EMC and MC, but it has no influence on the relay
outputs and equipment inside the chamber. User himself must control
temperature and humidity by pressing the appropriate buttons.
After power failure, if it was started, drying will
automatically continue when power is reconnected starting from measured
wood MC.
