Ceramic Hotplate Hot Zone
When using the ceramic hotplates
at temperatures over 180OC, the
base of any vessel must not make
contact with the ceramic plate top
outside of the hot-zone - this is
to avoid damaging the ceramic
hotplate surface
Note: Modular heating blocks are
not suitable for use with ceramic
top hotplates

Product Control and Indicators
a. Heater control dial - When the dial is pushed in the heater will be turned o and the
display will display an alternating OFF message on the screen. It also controls the
heating and cooling of the hotplate. The knob is graduated and increases in 5OC
steps throughout the temperature range
b. Digital display - will display an alternating OFF message on the screen when the
heater is turned o. It will also display an alternating HOt message when the plate
temperature is above 50OC. When you turn the unit on the unit should be set to
minimum set-point which is 25OC. Adjusting the graduated dial will increase the
temperature in 5OC steps throughout the temperature range. When you select a
set-point temperature, the temperature set will ash to indicate it is stored and
revert back to the current temperature
c. Hot LED - this LED will ash when the top plate becomes too hot to touch and
while the plate temperature is above 50OC for up to 30 minutes even if the unit is
disconnected from the electricity supply
d. Probe LED - when the TC-200D external controller is plugged into the DIN socket,
the probe LED will illuminate
Instructions for use
• Place a charged, clean glass vessel with the solution to be heated in the
centre of the top plate
• Insert the IEC plug into the IEC socket at the rear of the unit
• Switch the unit on using the mains on/o switch at the rear of the unit
• If the heater function is turned o, (alternating OFF message on the
display), press the heater dial to turn on the heating function
• Turn the graduated heater control dial until the display reads the desired
temperature (increases in 5OC increments). The current set-point display
will ash to conrm the new temperature has been stored and revert
back the actual temperature. The scale refers to the temperature of the
hotplate and not the temperature of the contents
• When the process is complete, press the heater control dial to stop the
heating function.
• Remove the vessel from the unit once cooled

Product Control and Indicators
a. Stirrer control dial - When the dial is pushed in the stirrer will remain stationary
(LED illuminated but dimly). It also controls the stir speed (clockwise direction
only). The knob is graduated and each graduation is approximately 75 rpm
b. Analogue stirrer LED display - There is an arbitrary scale (1 -9) with 9 LED’s and
each segment is either dim, normal or bright as you graduate the control dial
(approximately 50 rpm) . Turning the knob to the higher number increases the
stirrer speed (the maximum speed is 1250rpm (ceramic) to 1400rpm (metal) when
scale 9 LED is illuminated fully)
c. Heater control dial - When the dial is pushed in the heater will be turned o and the
display will display an alternating OFF message on the screen. It also controls the
heating and cooling of the hotplate. The knob is graduated and increases in 5OC

• Allow the stir bar to stop rotating and solution to cool down before removing
the vessel from the unit
External Controller (TC-200D)
The TC-200D temperature controller allows accurate temperature control of
aqueous and oil based samples in the laboratory and can be used in two
dierent modes:
• As a precise temperature controller from 20 to 200OC
• Digital thermometer from -4 to 325OC
Control Mode
The heat control of the hotplate is disabled, allowing precise control of the
sample temperature via the TC-200D temperature controller. The probe
illuminated LED indicates communication between the TC-200D and the
hotplate
Digital Thermometer
The TC-200D operates as a digital thermometer and the hotplate temperature
is controlled by the heater control dial on the hotplate and refer to the surface
temperature of the hotplate not the sample

Troubleshooting
The following error codes are displayed if the instrument detects an error
condition. On the digital models the errors are shown as Er1, Er2, etc. on
the display. On the analogue models the Er1 condition is shown by ashing
the fth LED on the temperature scale, Er2 would be shown by ashing the
fourth LED and so on. Errors Er6 and Er9 are non-fatal errors
• Er1 – Probe Range Error – If TC-200D reports probe temperature of
>325°C or < -99°C
• Er2 – TC-200D Box Lost Error – Communications with the TC-200D have
been lost.
• Er3 – Hotplate Temperature Error – If the hotplate measures its temperature
> 585°C or < -9.9°C
• Er4 – Hotplate Ambient Error – If the temperature sensed inside the unit
(not the plate temperature) is too hot
• Er5 – TC-200D Character Error – An unknown character was received from
the TC-200D.
• Er7 – Probe Out Error – The instrument detects that the TC-200D probe
has been removed from the solution being heated
• Er8 – TC-200D Time-out Error – The TC-200D did not respond to a request
in the required time.
• Er10 - fatal error tag
