Electrical Installation

THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
Before connection please ensure that the line supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate.

The unit is supplied with two mains leads fitted with IEC plugs for connection to the control box. One has a U.K. 3 pin plug and the other has a 2 pin “Shuko” plug for connection to the mains. Choose the lead appropriate for your electrical installation and discard the other. Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead with the U.K. plug and replace the plug with a suitable alternative.
This involves cutting off the moulded plug, preparing the cable and connecting to the rewireable plug in accordance with its instructions.
THIS OPERATION SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
The wires in the mains cable are coloured as follows:

The control unit is fitted with an IEC socket at the rear for connection of the mains lead.
The appropriate mains lead should be connected BEFORE connection to the mains supply.
Should the mains lead need replacement, a cable of 1mm2 of harmonised code H05W-F connected to an IEC320 plug should be used.
NOTE: Refer to the equipment’s rating plate to ensure that the plug and fusing are suitable for the voltage and wattage stated.
The UK mains lead is protected by a 10A fuse mounted in the plug top.

Fuse fitted in both live and neutral lines.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

Safety Advice Before Use

• Do not use to heat flammable materials.

• Position the instrument on a firm level surface away from any heat sensitive or flammable material.

• Never move or carry the unit while it is in use or connected to the mains supply.
  Switch off and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.

• The unit should be carried using both hands with fingers under each side frame.

• In the case of mains interruption, a fault or failure, the unit WILL continue to operate on removal of the fault.

• NEVER immerse the hotplate unit in acid or any other liquid. The unit has breather holes in the base which will allow liquid access that will destroy sensitive components.

General Description

The acid resistant hotplate consists of a ceramic tile and heater assembly mounted in a block of high grade PTFE. The hotplate is controlled via a separate control unit which is connected by a 2 metre lead (partly covered with a PTFE sleeve). This allows the hotplate to be located in a fume hood and the controller outside, away from the corrosive environment.

Controls

Front of control unit

Operation

1. Position the hotplate unit on a firm level surface away from any heat sensitive or flammable material.
2. Plug the hotplate lead into the hotplate inlet socket of the control unit.
3. Connect the control unit to the mains supply (the green mains indicator light will illuminate).
4. Position the control unit in the area it is to be used (e.g. outside the fume hood).
5. Turn the control unit ON using the temperature control knob and select the temperature of the hotplate by using the printed scale around the knob. The heater on light will illuminate.

WARNING: When the hotplate surface is hot (>50ºC) the hot warning light will begin to flash red. This will continue to flash while the plate temperature is above 50ºC even after the hotplate has been switched off (the control unit must remain connected to the mains supply).

Maintenance

WARNING: Before attempting to clean the unit, ensure that the hotplate is cool and that the control unit is disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
The control unit should be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild detergent solution. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The hotplate body can be cleaned with almost any cleaning agent compatible with PTFE. A damp cloth will remove most types of contamination. For more difficult stains a domestic cleaner is recommended.
Cleaning is made easier if spillages are attended to promptly. In any case, spillages of alkali, phosphoric acid and hydrofluoric acid MUST be removed immediately as these chemicals can attack and damage the glass ceramic. Ensure the appropriate safety precautions are observed.
NEVER immerse the hotplate unit in acid or any other liquid. The unit has breather holes in the base which will allow liquid access that will destroy sensitive components.
WARNING: A ceramic top which is scratched, chipped, chemically etched or damaged must not be used.
