Temperature
To activate the fluid chamber heater, the unit must
be powered on and the heater cable must be
connected (the computer and software do not need
to be on yet). At this point, the heater will warm the
fluid to the last used temperature set point. The
temperature set point can be changed by selecting
Hardware from the Settings menu.
Typically, the heater will take 30 to 60 minutes to
warm a full fluid chamber from room temperature to
37°C and will take up to 90 minutes to stabilize at
this temperature.
When Show Temperature Warnings is enabled and
the Current Temperature is not at the Temperature
Set Point plus or minus the specified tolerance -- a
red indicator button will be displayed next to the
Current Temperature live output and a warning
dialogue will appear when you execute the test.
System Alert
In the event of a dislodged or faulty temperature sensor, or if there is a lack of fluid in the fluid
chamber, the system is designed to reach a maximum temperature of less than 80°C.
Caution: Avoid touching the
chamber’s metal back panel when the heater is on, it can
become very hot!
UniVert Tip: Preheat Fluid
You can add preheated fluid to the fluid chamber to reduce warm up time.
