the temperature rise on the display.
“
The instrument is designed to warm
up quickly (roughly 3 to 5 minutes) .
This means that when initially warming
up, the instruments will slightly over
shoot the set target temperature
(by 2-5°C) . The heater will then stop
and allow the instrument to cool to the
desired working temperature and then
maintain the set working temperature
at +/-1°C, by alternating heating and
cooling.
