8. Temperature Calibration
The Starlab Dry Heating System with (optional) metal heating blocks has been calibrated as a set. However, the
different kinds of block do not generate the same results. Therefore, for optimum temperature control accuracy,
and when changing to different kinds of block, the unit should be calibrated using the procedure outlined below.
1.
Insert a calibrated, 45 mm laboratory thermometer into the Thermometer holding port
on the block.
2.
SIMULTANEOUSLY Press the ON/OFF power switch on the back of the unit and the START
Key on the front. During this, the unit will omit a “DU~DU” sound and a LED segment
will be flashing (see below). The unit is now in ‘Calibration Mode’.
9. Troubleshooting Guide
Many operating problems may be solved by reading and following the instructions in this
manual. Some suggestions for troubleshooting are given below. Should these suggestions
not resolve the problem, contact Starlab or your Starlab distributor for assistance.
3.
Press the UP or DOWN key to adjust the value displayed to the required temperature,
then press the START key.
4.
Wait for around 40 to 50 minutes until all the LED segments are flashing.
5.
Adjust the display value to the same figure as the thermometer, then press the
START key.
6.
The calibration procedure is now finished.
Please wait for a few minutes so the microprocessor has time to auto-adjust the
temperature, and the LED display value is the same as thermometer.
