Fast Cal Series Iss.07 – 08/13
INITIAL TESTING
This unit was fully tested before despatch to you but please check its operation as outlined below.
After connecting the Fast-Cal to the electricity supply, the temperature controller display will show the temperature of
the block and the last set-point value. The S controller and indicator both go through a self-test sequence first. The
fan on the front panel should be heard running.
Change the set-point to 50°C and observe that the block temperature rises and settles to this value. For the S; place a
thermometer into the block and connect it to the suitably configured indicator. Confirm that the indicator agrees
within ±2°C of the controller.
Your unit should have performed as described above and can now be used for calibration.
If any problems or faults arise during these tests please contact us or our agents for help and advice.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The controller's function settings are preset and will not require adjustment.
The Medium and High models incorporate a built in insert holder. In addition to the convenient storage of a second
insert it can be used to speed up the calibration cycle by allowing a warm insert to be replaced with a cool one from
the insert holder. The forced air cooling cools the block and insert rapidly from high temperatures. As the
temperature of the block and insert approach ambient the rate of cooling reduces and it is at this stage that it can be
useful to swap inserts.
IMPORTANT - To protect the safety of the operator and the integrity of the equipment inserts must not be removed
from the block while above 70°C. Use appropriate protective gloves when handling warm inserts.
