For detailed instructions for settings and limit values, please refer to the
operating manual of the instrument you are connecting.
The desired average temperature can be adjusted on the contact
thermometer. The required surface temperature of the heating
plate can be selected with the rotating knob (temperature) or
button.
Adjusting the temperature of device to the maximum adjustable tempera-
ture will result in the fastest possible heating time, but the average tem-
perature may fluctuate to values above the set-point temperature on the
contact thermometer. By adjusting the rotating knob (temperature) or
button to approximately twice the set-point value of contact thermometer
(with a set-point of + 60 °C, the temperature of device would be set to
+ 120 °C), you will reach a good compromise between a fast heating
time and over-shooting the set point. If you adjust the temperature of the
device to exactly the set-point temperature, the medium will not reach
the set-point temperature because some loss of the heat will always
occur between the heating plate and the medium.
If a fault occurs in the control circuit, the maximum heating
plate temperature can be adjusted with the safety temperature
setting screw.
