USE AND FUNCTION
NB 5, NB 9 and NB 20 Water Baths accurately control the temperatures of samples and commonly
used in microbiology, research and industrial laboratories. They offer excellent temperature
control of liquid producing a uniform and stable heating environment for the applications. They
provide temperatures between 5°C above the ambient temperature and 99.9°C for procedures
where temperature uniformity and stability are important. The homogeneous temperature
distribution in the tank is ensured by means of the heaters which are placed around chamber.
The baths are equipped with the timer and they are controlled by a PID microprocessor controlled
system to ensure precise temperature control. Two digital displays situated on the user-friendly
control panel display the temperature and time values.
Microprocessor control system will shut down the temperature sensor and in case of malfunctions
that may occur in the control system, alarm system will be activated and the user is warned visually
and audibly. The study data are recorded in the memory and can be transferred to external USB
memory. At the same time, unauthorized persons have been blocked permission to change
parameters with improved password menu.
All components which are exposed to liquid are made of high grade stainless steel to resist
corrosion.
The NB Series Water Baths are manufactured according to the following standards:
EN 61010-1, EN 61326-1, EN 50419.
This device is in compliance with WEEE Regulation.
If the warnings mentioned in this manual are not considered, NUVE will not be responsible from
