Hotfoil-EHS — Stand-Up 6-Way Power Console

Fully Automatic Eurotherm Controls | Chino 12-Point Recorder | Stainless Steel FrameSKU: 21515FAR | Part No.: S6PCFA/SS/A-73KVA

Overview

The Hotfoil-EHS Stand-Up 6-Way Power Console with Fully Automatic Eurotherm Controls and Chino 12-Point Recorder is the premium, professional-grade heat treatment control station for demanding field and shop post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) and preheat applications. Combining a rugged stainless steel stand-up frame, six fully automatic Eurotherm-based temperature control channels, and a Chino 12-point digital chart recorder — all in a single, self-contained, pre-wired and tested unit — this console delivers the precision, reliability, and traceability that modern industrial heat treatment operations require.

Engineered and manufactured by Hotfoil-EHS, one of the most trusted names in industrial heat treatment equipment, this console is built to perform in the toughest environments — from heavy fabrication shops and pressure vessel manufacturers to pipeline construction sites and structural steel facilities.

Fully Automatic Control System — How It Works

The fully automatic configuration distinguishes this console from standard ramp-only units. Rather than requiring each channel to be programmed independently, the fully automatic Master/Slave architecture allows a single EHS 3216 Master controller to govern the heat treatment program cycle for all six channels simultaneously — with five EHS 3216 Slave controllers executing the program in lockstep across all zones.

This means:

• One program entry controls all six heating circuits simultaneously — dramatically reducing setup time and eliminating the risk of inconsistent programming across channels
• Synchronized ramp and soak cycles across all zones ensure uniform heat treatment of large or multi-zone components
• Automatic progression through heat treatment stages — preheat, ramp-up, soak, controlled cool-down — without continuous operator intervention
• Holdback function — the program automatically holds at any stage until all monitored thermocouple zones confirm the required temperature has been achieved before advancing, preventing undertreated workpieces
• Alarm management — the system monitors for over-temperature, thermocouple failure, and other fault conditions, alerting the operator and taking protective action automatically

Eurotherm EHS 3216 Controller

The EHS 3216 is a proven, field-hardened temperature program controller purpose-built for heat treatment applications. Key capabilities include:

• Programmable ramp and soak temperature profiles — set heating rate (°F or °C per hour), target soak temperature, and hold duration
• PID auto-tuning for optimal control performance across a wide range of load types and sizes
• Over-temperature alarm with independent cutback to protect workpieces and heating elements
• Thermocouple input compatible with Types J, K, R, S, and B — covering the full range of PWHT and preheat applications
• Clear front-panel display with setpoint, process value, and program status indication
• Rugged construction rated for continuous industrial duty

Chino 12-Point Digital Chart Recorder

The integrated Chino 12-point digital recorder provides a complete, permanent, and tamper-evident record of the temperature profile for every heat treatment cycle performed — an essential requirement for compliance with weld procedure specifications, ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, and client quality documentation requirements.

Key recorder features:

• 12 independent recording channels — one per thermocouple location across the console's six circuits (two T/C inputs per circuit)
• Digital chart output — clear, time-stamped temperature traces for all monitored zones
• Stainless steel recorder frame — corrosion resistant and suitable for demanding industrial environments
• Data saved for post-inspection review and quality record submission
• Supports compliance with AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, API 1104, and applicable PWHT codes and standards

Stainless Steel Frame — Built for the Field

The stainless steel stand-up frame sets this console apart from standard powder-coated steel versions — providing superior corrosion resistance for operations in wet, marine, offshore, or chemically aggressive environments where standard steel frames would deteriorate rapidly. The fully welded, ground, and polished 1.5-inch tubular stainless frame provides exceptional structural rigidity, while the integrated handle and kick bar make the console easier to maneuver and position on site.

The removable lid support system prevents lid deflection under load and can also support the weight of the Chino recorder when the lid is open — a practical engineering detail that reflects decades of real-world field experience.

Pre-Wired and Factory Tested

Every Hotfoil-EHS 6-Way Power Console ships fully pre-wired and factory tested — meaning the unit arrives on site ready to connect and operate. There is no field wiring of control circuits, no controller configuration from scratch, and no time lost to commissioning. Simply connect the power supply, attach the heating elements and thermocouples, and begin the heat treatment cycle.

Compliance & Standards

The Hotfoil-EHS 6-Way Power Console is suitable for use in heat treatment operations governed by the following codes and standards:

• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code — Section I, Section VIII, Section IX
• AWS D1.1 — Structural Welding Code (Steel)
• API 1104 — Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities
• ASME B31.1 / B31.3 — Power Piping / Process Piping
• NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 — PWHT requirements for sour service components

Ideal Applications

• Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) of pressure vessels, piping, and structural weldments
• Preheat maintenance during welding of thick-section or high-alloy steels
• Stress relief of fabricated assemblies prior to machining or service
• Heat treatment of pipeline girth welds in the field
• Shop heat treatment in heavy fabrication, boiler manufacturing, and pressure vessel facilities
• Any multi-zone heat treatment application requiring synchronized automatic control and full chart recorder documentation
