Thermo Scientific Orion COD165 Thermoreactor User Guide
The instrument is equipped with a voltage selector, which allows the
connection to either 115 V or 230 V outlets .
After unpacking the unit, position it correctly on the laboratory bench .
Before connecting it to the power supply, check that the power switch is
turned to “0” and check that the data on the unit’s plate corresponds to
that supplied by the electric socket . The unit works at voltages between 90
and 260 V with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz .
Note:
The power switch means that the unit can be completely
disconnected from the power supply when it is not in use, thus reducing
energy consumption .
Use the power switch on the front of the unit to turn the unit on (turned
to “−”) . When it is switched on, all the LEDs on the unit blink for few
seconds . When the LEDs are off, the unit is ready to be programmed at
different work temperatures and times .

Description
Power Switch
The switch lights up when the instrument is turned on.
Start/Temp Key
When the Start/Temp key is pressed, the work cycle is started
with the selected temperature and time values, which are
indicated by their corresponding LEDs.
To change the temperature, press the Start/Temp key and
select desired temperature. The temperature setting will scroll
down through the four temperatures and the corresponding
LED will light.
Note: It is possible to select different temperatures if the
programmed temperature has not been reached and the timer
is not started. Once timer has started this key is not operative.
If the selected temperature is lower than the actual
temperature of the heating block when the Start/Temp key is
pressed, the cycle will not start and all the LEDs will turn on
intermittently, indicating an error.
To correct this error, select a higher temperature setting
or allow the block to cool to a temp below the set point
temperature.
Time Key
The timer starts when the block reaches the selected
temperature. While the timer is running, the LED will blink and
the Time key is not operative.
Temperature LED
When the instrument is turned on the temperature LEDs
are not lit. Once the Start/Temp key is pressed, the selected
temperature LED will light.
All four LEDs will blink if the selected temperature is lower
than the current block temperature.
Time LED
When the instrument is turned on the time LEDs are not
lit. Select the desired run time by pressing the Time key. A
blinking time LED indicates that the timer has started.
