6. Start of a cycle
A work cycle is started by pressing the
Start/Temp.
button.
The default option is set at 150°C and 120 minutes as shown by the
corresponding LED’s. It is possible to select other temperatures and times by
pressing the corresponding buttons.
LED’s will light when the corresponding value is selected. It is possible to
change both the time and the temperature until the temperature of the heating
block reaches the selected temperature and the run time starts.
When the selected temperature is reached a beeper will sound intermittently
for 5 seconds. At this time the LED corresponding to the selected time will
start to blink, signaling that the run time has started. The end of the run time
will be signaled by a beeper that will sound continuously for 5 seconds.
At this time the heating element and the LED’s corresponding to time and
temperature will turn off.
The instrument is now ready for a new work cycle. If the selected temperature
of the new work cycle is lower than the running temperature (when the
Start/Temp.
button is pressed), the work cycle will not start and all
temperature LED’s will light intermittently, signaling an error. To correct the
error, select a temperature that is higher than the running temperature or wait
until the heating block cools to a temperature that is lower than the
temperature to be programmed.
7. Maintenance
An ordinary or extraordinary maintenance is not necessary. It is only
requested a periodical cleaning as described by this manual.
