Symbols and Conventions
The electrical warning symbol indicates the presence of a potential hazard
that could result in electrical shock.
This symbol indicates a potential risk and alerts you to proceed with caution.
CAUTION: To avoid accidental bodily harming or burning be very careful
touching the metal parts of the unit. It can be very hot after it is used at
high temperatures. Allow the metal parts to cool down before handling.
Installation
Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment.
If you have any questions about local requirements, please contact the
appropriate local agency. Installation may be performed by the end user.
3.1 Power Source
Check the data plate for voltage, cycle, wattage, and ampere requirements. If
matched to your power source, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
Voltage should not vary more than 10% from the data plate rating.
3.2 Location
In selecting a location, consider all conditions which might affect
performance, such as heat from radiators, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun,
fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling ducts and high traffic areas. Allow
a minimum of 5 cm between the unit and walls or partitions which might
obstruct free airflow.
3.3 Lifting/Handling
When full, this unit may be heavy for some people, and care should be taken to
use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads.
Units should only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Handles and knobs are
not adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be completely
restrained from tipping during lifting or transport. All parts such as covers,
thermometer, and line cord should be removed during transfer to prevent
shifting and damage.
3.4 Cleaning Before First Use
This unit was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. It is recommended
that you clean the water bath with a disinfectant that is suitable for your
application (refer to Section5).
DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives as this can discolor the
stainless steel tank.
DO NOT USE spray cleaners that might leak through openings and cracks and get
on electrical parts or that may contain solvents that will harm the coatings.
Controls Overview (Front Panel)
4.1 Power Switch
The main power switch is on the front panel and controls all power to the
unit. The switch will light when the unit is energized.
4.2 Temperature Controller
This control knob is marked TEMPERATURE. It controls the water bath operating
temperature on a scale of 1 to 10.
4.3 Heating Lamp
When the unit is heating, the light is ON. When the unit has reached the set
point temperature, the light will only be ON when the unit is calling for heat
to maintain temperature.
Operation
WARNING: This water bath is not intended for use as an acid bath. Do not use as an acid bath as this will cause severe damage to bath components. Do not use deionized water, tap water, or chemicals. USE DISTILLED WATER ONLY. If the tank boils dry while containing plasticware, the plastic will melt. If you intend to use test tube racks, remember that wire racks or plastic coated racks may wear and expose metal which can cause damage. Preferably, only use all plastic racks.
- Place the unit on a level surface and plug the unit into a properly grounded electrical outlet of appropriate voltage.
- Fill the water bath to your required depth with DISTILLED WATER ONLY. DO NOT USE tap water or deionized water. Note that normal depth is two-thirds full, but depth must be at least two inches.
- Place a user-supplied thermometer in the desired position. A clip is provided for holding the thermometer (see Figure 1).
- Push the power switch to the ON position. The switch will light.
Set Temperature Controller to 10. When the thermometer reaches the desired
operating temperature, turn the control down until the heating light turns
off. Wait for the temperature to stabilize, and adjust the controller as
necessary until desired operating temperature is obtained.
Figure 1. Water bath thermometer assembly
The thermometer bulb must not touch the sides or bottom of the water bath but
must be immersed in its immersion line.
The location of the thermometer may be determined by the opening in the water
bath cover if used.
NOTE: The heating element of this water bath does not contact the tank
bottom, thus will not burn out if the tank is allowed to run dry. However, a
tank going dry may strain interior surfaces so this should not be allowed to
occur. If tank boils dry while containing plasticware, the plastic will melt.
Cleaning and Maintenance
** Prior to any cleaning or servicing on this unit, disconnect the power
cord from the unit.
Heavy water bath use causes soiling. Clean the bath with mild soap and water
solution, rinse with clean water, and wipe dry with soft cloth. Stainless
steel does not rust, but foreign materials in the tank may rust or leave rust
spots. If corrosion is seen, scrub out the stains with a mild abrasive, never
steel wool. Failure to keep the instrument clean of corrosion can damage the
stainless steel components.
WARNING:** Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the
unit connected to the wall outlet. Always disconnect the unit before cleaning,
and assure that all volatile or flammable cleaners are evaporated and dry
before plugging the unit back in.
Troubleshooting and Service
If the unit fails to operate, check that the unit is plugged into a working
outlet. Check that the unit is switched ON and that the Temperature Controller
is turned up. Finally, check the fuses.
