OPERATION
Preparation
1.
The heater design, temperature sensor and control circuit give good temperature control and
uniformity, but make sure that there is a close fit of the probes in the block to allow efficient heat
transfer.
2.
Plug the power cable into the socket in the back of the unit. Connect the mains cable to the
electricity supply.
Setting the operating temperature
1. To set the temperature required, press and hold either the up or down button
depending on the direction you need to take the set point.
2. When you have the correct set temperature displayed, release the up or down button and the unit
will start to heat or cool to the set point.
3. Once the process value/actual temperature reaches the set point, allow the block to stabilize for 15
minutes before performing a calibration.
4. The controller is factory pre-set and only the set-temperature should be changed.
THE CONTROLLER MUST NOT BE SET TO CONTROL ABOVE
430
°C/

°F OR DAMAGE TO THE
UNIT MAY RESULT.
After use
1. When you have finished calibrating, remember that parts of the unit and the probe may be very hot,
so precautions should be taken to prevent injury.
2.
For safety, set the set temperature and allow the unit to cool to below 50°C/122°F before placing
the unit in a carrying case or shipping carton.
Changing from °C to °F
