9.0 Operation

The ECD SmartDRY™ Cabinet has been pre-programmed to meet the requirement of J-STD 033 for the safe storage of Moisture Sensitive Components, no additional programming is required. However, should you wish to review these setting or make changes to the setting to meet some other requirements, this can be done using the Menu System for programming the Cabinet. The complete list of the programmable features are described below.

Important Information

The SmartBAKE™ is an optional feature OF MODEL SD-10SB. This section includes how to access SmartBAKE™ Menu options. If your ECD SmartDRY™ Cabinet does not include the SmartBAKE™ Module the menu BUTTON IS DIMMED.

 

To enter the Main Menu press the Menu button. Use the buttons to select a desired option. To exit the screen, select the Back button which takes you “Back” to the previous menu.

Tip

The Menu System, if left unattended, will time out and return to the Main Display.

 

Important Information

When accessing options that require a Passcode the system default Passcode is 314. As you enter protected options, you will be prompted to enter it using the Up or Down buttons. Once selected, all locked options remain “unlocked” until you return to the Main Display.

 

1)When prompted, Press and hold the Up or Down button to navigate to Passcode 314. Press the OK button to be able to edit the protected field.

9.1 ECD SmartDRY™ Menu System

Access to all programmable features start at the Main Menu. Both SmartDRY™ and SmartBAKE™ mode controls as well as other general settings can be accessed.

 

To access the SmartDRY™ Menu:

1)From the Main Display, enter the Main menu by pressing the Menu button. enter the SmartDRY™ Settings by pressing the Dry button.

ui_display_(select_main_menu)     ui_display_(select_smartdry_menu)

9.1.1 RH Setpoint

The dry RH value that ECD SmartDRY™ is set to maintain. SmartDRY™ mode is a dryer and thus can only remove moisture from the interior of the cabinet. Drying stops when the measured RH reaches the set point and resumes when the measured RH value rises 0.5% above the set point.

 

To access the RH Setpoint setting:

1)From the Main Display, enter the Main menu by pressing the Menu button. enter the SmartDRY™ Settings by pressing the Dry button.

ui_display_(select_main_menu)     ui_display_(select_smartdry_menu)

2)Select the RH Setpoint field to make active. Use the Up or Down button to adjust the desired set point.

ui_display_(select_rh_setpoint)     ui_display_(select_rh_setpoint_value)

3)Once completed, select the OK button to accept the new value.

9.1.2 Alarms (SmartDRY™ Mode)

An Alarm can be set on both the RH and Temperature values in the SmartDRY™ mode. These alarms are independent of the alarms that can be set in the optional SmartBAKE™ mode  – Model SD-10SB only. Both the RH and Temperature alarms are an “over limit” type, meaning, the alarm will sound when the measured value rises above the set Alarm value. A delay time can also be set for both the RH and Temperature alarms. This means the alarm will NOT sound until the alarm condition has been met for at least the programmed delay time. The alarm limits have been preprogrammed however are not enabled. Once the Cabinet has stabilized at set point, the alarms can be enabled. This is the only alarm required by J-STD 033 to monitor the RH level. You may also want to explore the other Alarms: SmartDRY™ Temperature, SmartBAKE™ RH, and SmartBAKE™ Temperature, enabling them as you wish.

Important Information

The delay timer for the RH alarm will count down, not reset, when the measured value falls below the alarm value and before the delay time is reached. This count down is in1/10th time, in accordance with and as described in J-STD-033, “Short Duration Exposure” for the worst the case MSL component “floor life clock reset”. Thus, if the interior RH value of the cabinet rises above the alarm value (say, because the door is open) for 25 seconds, once the door is closed and the RH returns to below the alarm value, the delay timer will take 250 seconds to count back to 0.

The delay timer for the temperature alarm will count down at a 1 to 1 rate when the measured value falls below the alarm value and before the delay time is reached.

To access the Alarms Menu:

1)From the Main Display, enter the Main menu by pressing the Menu button. enter the SmartDRY™ Settings by pressing the Dry button.

9.2 SmartBAKE™ Menu (Model SD-10SB  Only)

The SmartBAKE™ process has two settable parameters: Temperature (30C to 60C) and time. These can be automatically calculated and set, based on the component being baked or manually set. To automatically calculate the correct Bake Temperature and time, select the J-STD-033 menu item and select the components MSL, its thickness range, and the time exposure past the floor life. SmartBAKE™ sets the bake temperature and time for you. To manually select the bake temperature and time, select Manual Bake.To access the SmartBAKE™ Menu:

9.2.3 Alarms (SmartBAKE™ Mode)

An Alarm can be set on both the measured Temperature value and the measured RH value in the SmartBAKE™ Mode. These Alarms are independent of the alarms that can be set in the SmartDRY™ mode. Both the Temperature and RH alarms are an “over limit” type, meaning, the alarm will sound when the measured value rises above the set Alarm value. A delay time can also be set for both the Temperature and RH alarms. This means the alarm will NOT sound until the alarm condition has been met for at least the programmed delay time.

Important Information

The delay timer for the RH alarm will count down, not reset, when the measured value falls below the alarm value and before the delay time is reached. This count down is in1/10th time, in accordance with and as described in J-STD-033, “Short Duration Exposure” for the worst the case MSL component “floor life clock reset”. Thus, if the interior RH value of the cabinet rises above the alarm value (say, because the door is open) for 25 seconds, once the door is closed and the RH returns to below the alarm value, the delay timer will take 250 seconds to count back to 0.

The delay timer for the temperature alarm will count down at a 1 to 1 rate when the measured value falls below the alarm value and before the delay time is reached.
