Status Menu:

 The status menu displays the chiller operating status 

and coolant temperature.  The chiller operating mode is shown in the 
display’s first character: (See Figure 5) 

Figure 5:  Operating Display 

 

 

 

*  =  Standby mode, chiller is not controlling temperature 

‒  =  Cooling mode, chiller is controlling temperature and process 

fluid temperature is above the set point 

+  =  Heating mode, chiller is controlling temperature and process 

fluid temperature is below the set point 

 
The process fluid (coolant) outlet temperature is shown after TEMP 
in °C or °F. 
 
Pressing the UP or DOWN keys with the # of cycles set to zero 
(default) will change the set point temperature upon pressing the 
ENTER, then the START/STOP key. 
 

Temperature Input Menu:

  The temperature input menu allows input 

of operating temperatures, soak times, number of cycles desired, and 
an optional alarm temperature.  Note:  If # of cycles is set to zero, 
only TEMP 1 and ALARM TEMP will be used. 
 
SETTEMP1 = Set-point of first control temperature.  

If # OF CYCLES is set to zero, this is the control temperature. 

SETTIME1 = Soak time at temperature 1.  

Not used if # OF CYCLES is set to zero. 

SETTEMP2= Set-point of second control temperature.   

Not used if # OF CYCLES is set to zero. 

SETTIME2 = Soak time at temperature 2.   

Not used if # OF CYCLES is set to zero. 

# OF CYCLES = Number of cycles between temperature 1 and 

temperature 2, 0-999 cycles. If set to zero, then the 
ThermoCube will continuously control at temperature 1. 

ALARMTEMP = Alarm temperature range +/-  set-point. The unit 

will output an alarm via RS-232 when the coolant temperature 
is above set-point + ALARMTEMP or below set-point  

‒ ALARMTEMP.
