ambient temperature to 100 °C.

5.6.1 Temperature control with time setting

Prerequisites

The time mode is set to Time Control (see p. 27)

1. To switch off the mixing function, use the speed arrow keys to select the 0 rpm setting

(▼ below 300 rpm or ▲ above 3 000 rpm).

2. Using the time arrow keys set the temperature control duration.

3. Using the temp arrow keys set the temperature.

4. To start time counting, press the start/stop key.

• The symbol flashes on the display.

• The temperature control duration is counted down.

• The display shows the remaining temperature control duration and the actual

temperature/set temperature.

• A signal sounds after the temperature control duration has elapsed.

Functioning principle of the ThermoTop

• In order to prevent the formation of any condensate in a reliable manner, the

device first heats the ThermoTop until it reaches the set temperature. The

tempering of the thermoblock occurs with a delay.

• The temperature sensor of the thermoblock reacts to the temperature of

samples: after inserting samples into a pre-heated thermoblock, the displayed

actual temperature may fall temporarily.

• While the device is tempering, the blue LED of the ThermoTop is flashing.

NOTICE! Damage to electronic components due to condensation.

Condensate can form in the device after it has been moved from a cool

environment to a warmer environment.

 After installing the device, wait at least for 3 h. Only then connect the device

to the mains.

• When the actual temperature flashes on the display, the device is not in

temperature control mode operation.

• As soon as the set temperature is changed with the temp arrow keys, the

device begins to perform temperature control.

• When the set temperature has been reached, the display only shows one

value.
