Do not deform or crush the battery pack or damage it in

any other way� This can cause battery ﬂuid to leak and/or

the battery pack to explode�

• When not in use, keep battery packs away from pa-

perclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal

objects which could cause the contacts to be bridged�

Short-circuiting may result in an explosion�

• After a power failure during operation, the device may

start automatically (depending on operating mode)�

• Transport the device with care�

• Do not transport or empty the bath while it is still hot/

cold� This may result in accidents, especially scalding inju-

ries or frostbite�

TEMPERING:

Control:

Control Mode:

Internal (int): The temperature is regulated according to

the internal temperature sensor�

Extern (ext): The temperature is regulated according to

the external temperature sensor�

Control parameters:

Automatic: The optimal control parameters for PID tem-

perature control are determined automatically� This is the

recommended mode�

Selecting "Automatic" allows you to set the dynamics for

temperature control�

Accurate: precise tempering without overshooting�

Fast: fast tempering with minimal overshooting�

Ts must be adjusted to match the response characteristic

(total of all time constants) of the closed loop controlled

system, so that the control variable can deliver a uniform

and measurable change in the control deviation� Ts val-

ues that are too small or too large can lead to instability

of the controller�

Prop_Bp: Proportional Band Maximum�

Prop_Bn: Proportional Band Minimum�

The Proportional Band is the range below (Prop_Bp) and

above (Prop_Bn) the set value in which the control output

value is calculated via the difference between the actual

and the set value and the PID parameters�

Examples of non-optimal settings:

°C

t

Fig. 25

Manual: The control parameters for PID temperature con-

trol can be set manually�

"Manual" should only be used in the event of special tem-

perature control requirements�

When "Manual" is selected, the following parameters can

be set for "Internal (int)" and "External (ext)" temperature

control:

Kp: Proportional coecient

The proportional coecient Kp is the controller ampliﬁ-

cation and determines how strongly the control deviation

(the difference between the target temperature and ac-

tual temperature) directly affects the control variable (on-

time of the cooling)� Kp-values that are too large can lead

to the controller overshooting�

Ti: Integral time

The integral time Ti (s) is the correction time and deter-

mines how strongly the duration of the control deviation

affects the control variable� Ti compensates for an ex-

isting control deviation� A high Ti means a smaller and

slower effect on the control variable� Ti-values that are

too small can lead to instability of the controller�

Td: Differential time

The differential time Td (s) is the derivative time and de-

termines how strongly the rate of change of the control

deviation affects the control variable� Td compensates for

rapid control deviations� A high Td means a smaller and

slower effect on the control variable� Td-values that are

too large can lead to instability of the controller�

Ts: Sampling time

The sampling time Ts (s) is the time interval over which the

control deviation is determined and the respective control

variable (dependent on Kp, Ti and Td) is calculated�

Fluids:

Under the option "Fluids", a variety of ﬂuids can be se-

lected�

The selected ﬂuid limits the setting range of the target

temperature� See table in the section “Fluid (Standard in-

formation for IKA®ﬂuid)“�

The maximum and minimum temperature values of the

selected ﬂuid can be set within these limitations�

Cooling:

This menu option allows you to activate/deactivate the

Cooling function�

(heating curve in "Automatic" mode)

19

Limits:

Under the option "External (ext)", the maximum and min-

imum temperature for external temperature control can

be limited�

Under "l Δ T (int - ext) l", the maximum difference be-

tween the internal and external temperature can be set�

The function limits the absolute temperature difference

between the external system and internal bath during

the heating up and cooling down process� This can pro-

tects sensitive device like the glass reactors from thermal

shock (e�g� glass break)�

Temperature sensor:

Calibration:

The internal and the external temperature measurement can be calibrated and adjusted�

You can select 2-ponit calibration or 3-point calibration for internal and external measurement�

Calibration proceeding (example: 2-point calibration):

Reset Calibration:

By “Reset Calibration”, the calibration value for the internal or the external temperature sensor will be deleted�

Notiﬁcation:

ON:

This menu option allows you to activate/deactivate the

“Notiﬁcation“ function� A green check mark and a beep

informing when the target value (hysteresis) has been

reached�

Hysteresis:

This menu option allows you to set the hysteresis from 0

to ±2�0 K�

Sound:

Inﬁnite: Beep until you press the “Back” key�

Beep: Single beep�

Under “Power Output“, the maximum heating output

can be set as a percentage of nominal heat output�

PUMP

Limits:

In “Limits“ menu option, you are allowed to set the

maximum and minimum speed to the pump, and also

the maximum pressure�
