Custom Temperature Selection
Use this procedure to set the CT-500 to a temperature not already indicated on the pre-set dial.
1. Turn the
T - SELECT
dial to the temperature closest to your desired temperature. If the
temperature is above the current bath temperature, the CT-500 will begin heating and the HEAT
LED will light.
2. Move the TA - SELECT switch to the right (the VARIABLE position).
To heat the bath more rapidly, turn on the PREHEAT ( PH ) switch. If the target temperature is below
80 °C, turn the PH switch off when the desired temperature is reached. For temperatures above
80 °C, keep the PH switch ON to maintain temperature control. When the PH switch has been
turned on, the PH - HEAT LED will light.
When the bath temperature is approximately at the temperature selected with the T - SELECT
switch, the LED above the TA controls will start to blink as the heater duty cycle is automatically
adjusted to stabilize temperature.
1. Release the lock on the TA - VARIABLE dial.
2. Read the thermometer in the CT-500 bath to determine the actual temperature of the bath.
Make sure that both the thermometer and the bath temperature have stabilized before taking a
reading.
3. Turn the TA - VARIABLE dial to adjust the temperature. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the
bath temperature. Turn the dial counter-clockwise to decrease the bath temperature. After
each adjustment, allow several minutes for the bath temperature to stabilize.
4. When the desired temperature has been reached, re-lock the
TA - VARIABLE
dial.
After the bath has reached the desired temperature, set the HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT CONTROL
( LC ). This will prevent the bath from overheating if a malfunction occurs.
Adjusting the High Temperature Limit Control
During this procedure, the temperature of the bath may change slightly, but will quickly recover
1. Using a screwdriver, slowly turn the LC - TEMPERATURE ADJUST control counterclockwise until
the OVER TEMP message lights up on the LC - PUSH TO RESET button.
2. Turn the control clockwise approximately ¼ to ½ turn.
3. Push the LC - PUSH TO RESET button. If the bath doesn't recover, repeat step 2 and try again.
