Carolina Corning Hot Plate Stirrer 120 V - Manual (Page 6)

Heating Operation and Controls
• Microprocessor ensures minimum heat-up times for samples by supplying
maximum power to the heating element until set point is reached.
• Top quality insulation keeps the heat on the top, away from controls and the
lab bench, saving more energy than competitive units.
• Hot Top Indicator light warns that the top is too hot to touch (>140°F or 60°C).
• Temperature sensor provides power cutoff in abnormal situations by limiting
top plate temperature to 1022°F (550°C).
• Optional temperature controller features a digital display, automatic shut off,
stainless steel probe, flashing heat light and tilt indicator. Hot Plates and
Stirrer/Hot Plates (PC-400 and PC-600 Series Only) include a socket for an
optional temperature controller (400188) for ability to control samples between
77°F and 390°F (25°C and 199°C) to an accuracy of ±4°F (±2°C).
Operation: Fill vessel with solution, place stir bar provided into vessel (stirrer/
hot plates only) and set vessel in the center of the top plate. Plug line cord
into a grounded power outlet; the green power indicator light will illuminate.
Turn heat knob clockwise to desired setting. Amber heat light to the left of the
knob will illuminate. Hot top indicator light will illuminate and remain on
when temperature of the top plate reaches approximately 140°F (60°C). When
the heat is turned off, the hot top indicator light will blink until top plate tem-
perature is less than 140°F (60°C).
