WARRANTY

D-M-E Company warrants that this product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a
period of one (1) year from the date of shipment. If any such product proves defective during this warranty
period, D-M-E Company, at its option, either will repair the defective product without charge for parts and
labor, or will provide a replacement in exchange for the defective product.

This warranty shall not apply to any defect, failure or damage caused by improper use or improper or
inadequate maintenance and care. D-M-E Company shall not be obligated to furnish service under this
warranty; a) to repair damage resulting from attempts by personnel other than D-M-E Company

Once the Auto mode set point is reached, and the controller is
placed in the Standby Heat mode, if a T/C failure occurs, the
DSS will switch to manual percent power mode and continue
controlling power. When the DSS is released from the
Standby Heat mode, the unit will use the last valid percent

it will continue to control power in the Manual percent power

STANDBY HEAT:
When the D-M-E TAS-05-XX module initiates a Standby Heat
signal, any DSS module in the auto mode will immediately
set the set-point temperature to 200°F/93°C. This function is
useful for the continuous application of low power to heaters to
prevent moisture build-up and initiate quick start-ups. *

disabled upon power-up until the process temperature is within
10°F of set-point temperature, or until an error occurs. It is
also disabled when changing to or from the Standby heat
mode. * Once the set-point temperature is reached, a
deviation of +/-30°F will activate the alarm. The process must
get within +/-25°F to turn the alarm off (alarm hysteresis =
5°F).

When standby heat is engaged, the alarm is inactive until the

process falls to 210°F. When leaving standby heat, the alarm Figure 8 – 100% Power Jumper (J1) Settings
is also inactive until the process is within 10°F of set point.
This prevents alarms during ramping.

In the manual mode, the alarm is inactive except for errors.

Errors always cause an alarm. If the unit is in output inhibit
mode, the alarm occurs during an error and is cleared by
placing the unit in the manual mode. If the DSS is in auto-
bumpless mode, the alarm will stay on even though the unit
goes to the manual mode. The user can silence the alarm by
pressing and holding the auto/manual key for one second.
When errors are corrected and the unit is back in auto mode
the alarm is inactive until the process reaches +/-10°F of set
point.
