Pascal Handbook 9
SP2 (LED): Set Point 2 has two functional readouts on the digital display. The first SP2
display is the temperature programmed to indicate that the chamber has cooled
sufficiently to permit the removal of contents. The second SP2 display is the time interval
at which the SP2 temperature is maintained before an audible alarm (beep) is sounded.
The purpose of the SP2 alarm is to standardize the time at which the contents in Pascal
should be removed from the instrument for cooling. This is a quality control function that
aids in consistency between runs.
SP Limit (LED): Set Point Limit is an internal temperature set point circuit breaker that
ensures the SP1 temperature will not exceed SP1+ SP Limit temperature; for example, if
SP1 = 125 ºC and SP limit = 10 ºC then a temperature of 135 ºC will automatically turn off
the heating element. This is a safety feature. For example, if an insufficient volume of
water is added to the system the temperature could rise beyond the SP1 temperature.
Actual (LED): Indicates that Pascal is in operation and the temperature on the digital
display is the current temperature in the chamber in degrees centigrade.
