Performing a measurement
Take the unit into operation as described in chap. 6.
Place the sensor in the center of the usable volume and lead the cable over the door gasket to the
measuring station. Close the chamber door.
Due to the introduction of the sensor, there is a principle risk of contamination of the usable space of the
temperature chamber.
CAUTION
Risk of contamination of the usable space of the chamber.
¾
Observe the hygiene and work regulations applicable in the laboratory.
¾
Clean the sensor before and after use (chap. 8.1).
Set the temperature chamber to its operating temperature.
The sensor may be damaged or destroyed by unacceptable operating temperatures (above 350°C).
When setting the supervised chamber, ensure to never exceed the maximum temperature of 350°C.
CAUTION
Excess temperature > 350°C.
Damage to the sensor.
∅
Do NOT exceed the maximum temperature of 350°C.
The waiting time until safe homogenization of temperature inside the temperature chamber is approx. 1
hour. Please observe the unit manufacturer’s information in this regard
The measurement results can be read off on the measuring station on display 1.
The measured values can be transmitted via the RS 422 interface (I) online to a PC with the APT-COM™
communication software (option) from BINDER. In addition, APT-COM™ enables convenient data
storage and alarming through warning messages on the PC as well as remote alarming via telephone
line. More detailed information on this can be found in the operating instructions for the APT-COM™
communication software.
