CAUTION:
The range of equipment
described here is not to be used in
conjunction with large quantities of
water. The introduction of water into the
glass dish recess could result in
premature failure of components.
WARNING:
Do not use flammable
solvents or combustible materials as fire
or explosion may occur. This equipment
uses components which may be a
source of ignition.
FUNCTION
To provide an accurate controlled water temperature of a5ºC to +60ºC.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The illuminated flotation bath is designed to be light weight and portable. It is ideally
suited for use in the Histology laboratory.
The heater body and surrounding area is insulated to minimise heat loss.
The desired operating temperature is set at the temperature controller. The
temperature sensor is located within a spring clip and is designed to rest against the
glass insert (dish). The signal from the temperature sensor is monitored by the
temperature controller. The resultant calculated pulsed output is directed to a solid
state relay that switches power to the heating element located below the base of the
well.
The warmed base of the well gently and uniformly heats the water within the glass
dish. The amount of energy is determined by the temperature sensor (spring loaded
against the glass dish).
Energy movement is by convection. This limited effect results in an even temperature
gradient throughout the bath.
The low wattage fluorescent lamp is activated by the press of a button.
PERFORMANCE
The operating range for this equipment is a5ºC to 60°C with a control
accuracy of +/- 0.5ºC
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE
For this product is 60
