Introduction

The Hart Scientific Model 7312 is a floor standing constant temperature bath.
This bath is useful in maintaining up to two triple point of water cells, perform-
ing temperature calibration, and other applications requiring stable tempera-
tures. An innovative state of the art solid-state temperature controller has been
incorporated which maintains the bath temperature with extreme stability. The
temperature controller uses a micro controller to execute the many operating
functions.

User interface is provided by the 8-digit LED display and four key-switches.
Digital remote communications is standard with an RS-232 serial interface and
optional with an IEEE-488 interface.

Temperature cutouts protect triple point of water cells from freezing or high
temperatures due to system failure. Separate circuits cut off heating or refriger-
ation independent of the temperature controller.

This bath was designed to be compact and low cost without compromising per-
formance. The bath operates over a wide temperature range from –5°C to
110°C. The refrigeration permits sub-ambient temperature control.
