Power
Power to the bath is provided by an AC mains supply. See Section 3.1, Specifi-
cations, for power details. Power to the bath passes through a filter to prevent
switching spikes from being transmitted to other equipment.
To turn on the bath switch the control panel power switch to the ON position.
The stir motor will turn on, the LED display will begin to show the bath tem-
