Sensor correcting temperature regulator for electric heating apparatuses
First Claim
1. A regulator for an electric heating apparatus, comprising at least one temperature sensor associated with the electric heating apparatus, an electronic computer component and input means for the computer component for controlling the regulator during use, the input means being connected to the computer component via a connector;
- a data line coming from an external source for communicating of additional process data, and a programmable, non-volatile memory operatively associated with the computer component for storing the additional process data;
the connector being a dual purpose connector, to which, in exchange for the input means, the data line can be connected, forming a read-in connection for inputting of the additional process data into the non-volatile memory.

Abstract
An electronic regulator (12) for electric heating apparatuses, such as baking ovens (11), is equipped with a microcontroller (20), which contains in fixed programmed form the process data for the individual regulating functions. For adapting the real data of a temperature sensor (19) to the ideal conditions, e.g. in the center of a baking oven muffle (14) is provided a separate, non-volatile, but programmable memory (EEPROM) (26). It can be programmed from a personal computer (34) by means of a read-in connection (32), said computer determining the parameters by comparing the values of the standard temperature sensor (19) and separate temperature sensors (36) located at ideal points. The memory (26) can be differently programmed for individual operating modes.
