Audible Indicators and Error Messages
Audible alarm: An audible alarm will sound when Pascal reaches either the programmed
SP1 (Set Point 1) time and the SP2 (Set Point 2) temperatures. For quality control
purposes, the temperature and pressure can be recorded at these set points.
ERR: These letters will appear on the digital display if the instrument encounters a
technical issue such as the following:
The pan is not filled with a sufficient volume of water and therefore the heat and pressure
rise beyond normal limits.
The SP Limit may be set too low so that the normal temperature tolerance of the
instrument heats beyond the SP1 + SP Limit.
Heat Sensor fails.
Parts Description
Gasket: The rubber seal between the pan and the lid that enables an air-tight chamber.
Reorder code number SP99015.
Pan: The removable metal chamber that is placed within the body of Pascal. The pan
comes in contact with the heat sensor and the heat plate. Reorder code number SP99019.
Vent Nozzle: The part of the chamber lid where the weight (petcock) should be placed
prior to operation of Pascal.
Heat Shield: A circular, concave metal disc with perforations that should be placed in the
center of the pan prior to operation of Pascal.
Heat Sensor: A circular, spring-loaded device within the main body of Pascal that records
the actual temperature during operation.
Heat Plate: A large, metal disc area within the main body of Pascal surrounding the Heat
Sensor that heats the pan during operation.
