NOTE

: If the unit is placed in adaptive mode, then the heater plate is not available 

as a temperature source option here.

3.  To make the selected temperature source the default temperature source, 

press the 

SRC

 button again. A *D* appears on the display next to your choice to 

indicate that it is the default temperature source. The unit will retain the default 

setting even after you power off the 

ATC2000

.

 

Fig. 9—The *D* appears next to the Thermocouple temperature source to indicate that the 

thermocouple is the store default temperature source.

4.  Press the 

Display

 button to save the new temperature source.

Setting Configuration Parameters

Press the 

Config

 button on the 

ATC2000

 to access the Configuration menu. From this 

menu, you can:

• 

Adjust the set point temperature

• 

Set the high and low alarm limits

• 

Enable/disable the audible alarm

• 

Adjust the three temperature offsets

Setting Temperature Set Point 

1.  Press the 

Config

 button to access the Configuration menu. The temperature set 

point displays. The default is 37°C.

 

Fig. 10—The set point can be adjusted with the Up/Down buttons.

2.  Press the 

Up

 or 

Down

 key to change the set point. The controlled temperature 

range can be adjusted up to 45°C.

3.  Press the 

Display

 button to save the new parameters or press the 

Config

 button 

to toggle through the rest of the parameters.

Setting High Alarm Limit

If the controlled temperature climbs above the high alarm temperature limit, the 

Sensor Alarm

 LED illuminates. If the audible alarms are enabled, the 

ATC2000

 

will also beep continuously until the 

temperature falls back into the acceptable 

range. See “Enabling Audible Alarm” on 

page 10.

1.  Press the 

Config

 button on the 

ATC2000

 to access the Configuration menu. 

Press the 

Config

 button again until the High Alarm Limit parameter displays.

 

Fig. 11—The high alarm limit parameter can be adjusted with the Up/Down buttons.
