The Torrey Pines Scientific HP60 & HS60 Programmable Hot Plates & Hot Plate/Stirrers are
capable of temperatures in excess of 450
Ε
C at the plate surface. Touching the heated surface
will cause severe burns.
USE EXTREME CAUTION AT ALL TIMES.
Never leave your hot
plate accessible to others while it is hot. Although the unit is equipped with a
A
HOT
WARNING
@
indicator on the front panel, do not rely on this alone. It is good practice to never
touch the heater surface.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT CLOSER THAN SIX (6) INCHES (15.24 CM)
TO A WALL OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. ALSO, THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE
WITH FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
TEMPERATURE PROBE
When attempting to control PROBE TEMPERATURE, plug in the temperature probe and place
it in the sample AT ALL TIMES. If not placed into the sample and plugged into the rear of the
hot plate, the unit will not be able to sense the temperature of the sample as heat is being applied.
This will result in driving the heater to its maximum and could result in ruining the sample.
Temperature probes vary in size and material. The most commonly used probe is the stainless
steel 6-inch immersion probe (part number HS30-600). For other probes available in other
lengths and materials, call the factory or consult your price list. All probes come with 3-foot
(91.44 cm) interconnect cable and are 3/16th (47.6 mm) in diameter. Stainless steel probes work
best with all but the most aggressive chemicals. Solid Teflon will work with the most aggressive
chemicals, but only to about 260
Ε
C. Glass probes are available for use with aggressive
chemicals at higher temperatures.
ELECTRICAL
These hot plate/stirrers are made in models that operate at 100, 115, and 230 volts AC
∀
10%.
Be certain that your voltage matches the unit you receive. Check the nameplate on the bottom
for the voltage setting on your unit. Be certain to use a three-wire, properly grounded AC input.
Take the normal care and precaution one would use with any electrical appliance. Be careful to
keep the AC line cord away from the hot plate.
Be certain to use a line cord of the same type
and rating as the one supplied with this unit. Note: all fuses are fast blow.
Bien vérifier que le cordon utilisé est du même type que celui livré avec l

unité. Note: tous les
fusibles sont à action rapide.
