Operation
1. See up and down arrows on the right side of the control panel. Press
and hold up arrow key to increase temperature, release key when
desired set point is obtained.
2. Press and hold down arrow key to decrease temperature, release key
when desired set point is obtained.
3. Once set, temperature control is initiated by pressing the TEMP
ON/OFF key; the heater will react and start increasing the temperature
to reach the set point.
4. During operation, both the up and down arrow keys can be used to
adjust the temperature to a new set point.
MaxQ 6000 units come equipped with an over-temperature protection
(OTP) control. This control is independent of the main temperature
control and serves as a safety limit for the chamber temperature.
1. The over-temperature set point can be adjusted using a small straight-
blade screwdriver to rotate the OTP shaft located on the right side of
the unit.
2. Allow unit to stabilize at setpoint temperature before adjusting OTP.
3. Once setpoint is stable, rotate screwdriver counterclockwise until OSP
appears in the Speed Display, the Temp Display wil register your OTP
termperature setting. Adjust OTP to displayed temperature setting.
During over-temperature setpoint adjustment, the unit will display the set
point in 1° increments on the front display. The over-temperature setpoint
is generally adjustable between 0°C and 115°C. To avoid unnecessary
cycling of over-temperature control, the main control will limit itself to
5°C above the temperature setpoint. For example, with a temperature set
point of 37°C, the OTP can be adjusted down to 42°C. Note that the
over-temperature setpoint is designed to limit the chamber temperature;
components within may exceed this setting.
Note
When adjusting OTP, E06 appears on Temp Display when you have
exceeded the 5°C window. If the E06 mode continues for more than 5
seconds without adjusting OTP, the setpoint will need to be reset to
original settings.
