Security Instructions
| Connect the equipment to a source of power provided with ground to guarantee
the safety of the instrument and the experiment; connect the power when the
equipment requires it.
---|---
| The use of this equipment in flammable and explosive, toxic or highly
corrosive experiments is prohibited.
| The equipment must be used by previously qualified personnel who know the
equipment and its operation by means of the user manual.
| Do not place the device in areas close to sources of heat.
| During operation, hazardous materials such as flammable liquids or
pathological materials must be kept away.
| If the device is switched on without supervision, it can cause overheating
of some parts of the work area in contact with it.
Pay attention to the residual heat after turning off the equipment.
| When the equipment is in operation, do not touch the heating surface to
avoid burns.
| Read the instruction manual before using the equipment.
During the use of the equipment, using personal safety protection will avoid risks of possible damage such as:
-
* Splash burns and evaporation of liquids.- Poisoning by emission of toxic or combustible gases.
- Place the equipment on a flat, stable, clean, non-slip and fireproof surface. Do not use the equipment in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous materials or underwater.
- Beware of the dangers caused by:
- Flammable materials or media with a low boiling temperature.
- Oxidizing materials
- Insecure containers
- Use closed containers in case of processing of pathogenic material.
- Check equipment and accessories before each use. Do not use components in poor condition. Safe operation of the device is guaranteed only with the accessories described in the “Packing list” chapter. The accessories must be firmly attached to the equipment and cannot be detached. Always disconnect power before installing accessories.
- The equipment can only be disconnected from the socket by pulling on the base of the plug, not the cable.
- The voltage indicated on the equipment must correspond to the voltage of the electrical network.
- Make sure that the main power cable is not in contact with the heating surface. Do not cover the equipment.
- Keep the equipment away from high magnetic fields.
Rules of use
This equipment is specially designed to dry-heat metal blocks for educational, industrial or research purposes. This device is not suitable for domestic use or in environments that could be dangerous for the user or the equipment.
Reception
Carefully unpack the instrument and check that the equipment and / or accessories have arrived without apparent damage. If necessary, contact the supplier who supplied the equipment to request technical assistance.

Operation
To be able to operate the device it will be necessary to connect it to an electrical outlet and ensure that it is deposited on a stable surface with a minimum distance of 30 cm on each side.
Temperature Setting
The temperature setting can only be workable when the machine is powered on but not in working. Press the blue knob; the temperature value on the LED display will flash, and then set the temperature by horizontal rotation of the knob.
NOTE: Celsius and Fahrenheit
You can change the temperature scale by pressing buttons P1 and P2
simultaneously
Time Setting
The time setting can only be workable when the machine is powered on but not in working. Press the blue knob twice; the time value on the LED display will flash, and then set the time by horizontal rotation of the knob.
Memorize programs
The system can save 4 different settings of temperature and time. To save them, press (P1, P2, P3 y P4) once both parameters have been selected. You will be able to switch through the memorized programs by turning the blue knob.
Operation modes
Incubation Mode
This function will allow us to program the incubation time during which the
device will maintain the same temperature.
The device will be programmed with a time and a temperature by pressing and
turning the blue button. Once the Run / Stop button is pressed, the unit will
go into “heating” mode until it reaches the chosen temperature. Once the
desired degrees have been reached, the equipment will be put into “holding”
mode and will maintain the temperature during the time established by the
user.
Reservation Mode
This function will allow us to set the time for the device to start heating. To activate and deactivate it, press the P1 and P3 buttons at the same time. When the reservation mode is active, a clock will appear to the left of the timer.
The device will be programmed with a time, after which, the heating process will start (heating mode followed by the “holding” mode) that will stop when the user presses the “Run / Stop” button.
Faults
If the unit cannot work properly, it might be due to the below fault list. The faults will appear on the screen after beeping for warning.
| Item | Fault description | Fault code |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | External sensor short‐circuit | E1 |
| 2 | Internal sensor open circuit | E2 |
| 3 | Internal sensor short‐circuit | E3 |
| 4 | External sensor isn’t in the block | E4 |
In case of faults nº 1,2 or 3, contact your supplier. In case of fault 4, please check that the probe is placed inside the block to take the measurements.
Temperature Calibration
Each instrument has been calibrated before shipment. But it could have a deviation between the actual temperature and the displayed temperature due to some reasons, you can do as follows to calibrate the unit again.
Calibration modes: Press P1 and P4 simultaneously to activate the
calibration mode)
CB01: Adjust the internal temperature probe (the external sensor should
not be connected)
CB02: Automatic setting NOTE: To be able to calibrate with the automatic
mode you need to calibrate the probe first. This calibration mode will execute
the sequence from 30ºC to 90ºC automatically pressing the button (“Run /
Stop”)
CB03: Adjust the external temperature probe. You need to use a sample
with a high boiling point (above 100°C, for example: glycerin) and place it
into the block middle, you will also need a thermometer (Make sure the
precision of the thermometer is within 0.1°C and the thermometer probe
absolutely merged into the sample).Turn the device on and select the
calibration point: (P1:3C). Plunge the external thermometer into the sample
and press (“Run / Stop”) After 30 minutes of the “Holding” mode, read the data
from the thermometer and adjust the temperature of the device accordingly by
pressing the blue knob and pressing it again to save the setting.
Repeat this process selecting a different calibration and temperature point
to. Restart the machine after calibrating.
