Heater temperature control The heater temperature control detects the surface temperature of the fuser sleeve and controls the current flowing to the induction heating coil. The heater temperature control circuit is shown in Figure 5-6. Figure 5-6 Heater temperature control circuit The two thermistors that are attached to the fuser sleeve (TH1 and TH2) detect the surface temperature of the fuser sleeve. The main thermistor (TH1) controls the fuser temperature, and the sub thermistor (TH2) detects overheating at the end of the fuser sleeve. When the surface temperature of the fuser sleeve increases, resistance of the two thermistors is reduced, and the voltage of the main thermistor detection signal (MAINTH1) and the sub thermistor detection signal (SUBTH1) drops. The CPU (IC1012) on the DC controller monitors the voltage of the MAINTH1 and SUBTH1 signals. The CPU sends the fuser temperature control signal (TMPCON) according to the voltage level. The CPU sends the amperage control signal (PRANGE) to control the amperage of the fuser sleeve. C9660-90901 Chapter 5 Theory of operation 97
