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
