1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1. Your Cole-Parmer Digi-Mantle has been designed to provide a comprehensive answer
to heating and stirring fluids in various vessel formats. This product is modular in design
allowing for complete interchange ability between mantles of various sizes. With its
‘easy to read / easy to operate’ revolutionary CTC (Capacitance Touch Control) panel,
setting the required temperature and stir speed takes only seconds.
1.2. Heating is controlled by a modern ‘state of the art’ micro processor, which displays the
heat setting as a percentage of the total power. When the temperature probe is
fitted, the heating is controlled via the temperature feed back circuit and the actual
temperature is displayed. All new dry blocks come with an in built temperature sensor.
This allows the true block temperature to be viewed at all times. When using a probe
and dry block with in built sensor, the temperature displayed is that as measured by the
probe.
1.3. An ‘all new’ digital controller and motor arrangement allow for accurate, low speed
stirring control. Uniform stirring is provided via a motorised rotating magnet assembly
positioned to provide maximum magnetic flux linkage to rotate the stirrer bars in each
reaction vessel.
