SET-UP
CIRCLE HEATER SPINVESSEL INSTALLATION
1. Carefully remove Circle Heater Spin Vessel, Temperature Controller and SpinVessel Controller from the
packaging inside the shipping box. Place the Circle Heater Spin Vessel on a solid work surface that is clear of
heat-sensitive items, such as paper or equipment, or heat-conducting material. Both the Temperature and
SpinVessel Controllers can be placed next to the Circle Heater Spin Vessel or up to 6 feet away with respective
Controller Cables. Test on the benchtop before using with a liquid handler to become familiar with its
operation.
2. The Temperature Controller Cable, which is attached to the back of the Circle Heater, has two plugs on the
free end for connecting to the Temperature Controller (Figure 3, page 2). Connect the round 3-pin plug of
the Connector Cable into the receptacle marked “Load” on the back of the Temperature Controller
as shown
in Figure 3. Also, on the back of the Temperature Controller, connect the 2-prong plug of the Controller Cable
into the receptacle marked “Sensor”.
3. See Technote 378B for instructions on setting up and running the SpinVessel part of the Circle Heater Spin
Vessel. A laptop or PC is needed to control the SpinVessel.
4. Connect the power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the Temperature Controller. Connect the
power cord to a 120 V outlet.
