5.2. Setting the Coolant Temperature (MPC-102L Only)
!
Caution: Never press the START key unless coolant is circulating
normally. Starting the unit with no coolant present may
damage the thermo-module that cools and heats the
bath.
Start the coolant circulation device and enter a temperature (refer to the Coolant Circulation Device
Instruction Manual). Since the lower limit of the measuring range of the instrument depends on the
coolant temperature (see Table 2), ensure that you have selected the correct temperature for the
specimen you are testing.
