The temperature measurement with the vessel MultiDrive BL 2000 T works exclusively
with the MultiDrive control� When the “Temperature Limit“ is set in MultiDrive control
that the device stops after the temperature is reached� With the setting, both sample and the
vessel can be protected from overheating�
Note: The temperature measurement is useful to measure / limit the temperature increase
of the medium during the operation� It is not for a long time measurement of the room
temperature or medium temperature without operation!
The temperature sensor react slowly without operation� When hot or cold medium is filled in
the empty vessel, it need some time for MultiDrive control to show the right temperature�
During operation the sensor react very fast and the MultiDrive control can show the right
temperature fast�
The vessels MultiDrive BL 2000 T also has an operating hour counter� This works exclusively
with the MultiDrive control� This drive unit can detect the operating hours of the vessel and
indicates when the next maintenance is required for the vessel� The operating hours counter
can also be used to monitor cleaning intervals� In this case shorter time can be set�
Note: For more information on temperature measurement and maintenance intervals, please
