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. Contact us about an insert that more closely fits your probe or device being calibrated.
2.
Plug the power cable into the socket in the back of the unit. Connect the power cable to the
electrical supply and switch the power on. 1 = power on, 0 = power off
Setting the operating temperature
1.
To set the operating temperature required, press and hold either the up or down arrow button to
increment to the value required. Alternatively you can press the («PF) key to move over to
individual digits to set higher values much quicker. After 2 seconds your value will be set & retained.
2.
When you have the correct set temperature displayed the unit will start to heat or cool to that
value.
3. Once the process value/actual temperature reaches the set point, allow the block to fully stabilize for
at least 10 minutes before performing a calibration.
4. When calibrating sensors and thermometers a best practice method is to start at higher
temperatures first and then work down to lower ones. This will allow devices to be removed safely.
Entering up to 8 setpoints for fast recall
1. To input up to 8 setpoints press the first button on the left and then the 2
nd
button from the left
until the top line displays SP-0. Here you can enter up to 8 values for fast future recall. Do not
change any of the settings or values after SP-7. When finished entering values press the button on
the left one time.
You’ll need to note which value is in which location for future recall.
2. To select one of the 8 setpoints for use from the main display press the 2
nd
button from the left so
the top line displays M-SP. Next use the up arrow key to select one of the 8 setpoint values. Press
the 1
st
key on the left twice for the value to be accepted.
