locating the temperature controller via the 2 m (6 ft) wiring harness
•When using a temperature setting of 200°C or greater, ensure that the work surface area directly
beneath the HPX is a material that will not become damaged by high temperatures
•The surfaces of the HPX will remain hot for some time after use. Avoid contact until the surface
temperatures cool to below 50°C.
•PTFE protective side guards and underside heat protection will be hot during and for a period of
time after use
•Refer servicing to qualified personnel
•Reaction plans should be developed and safety precautions put in place based on the worst case
scenario that any materials placed on the top surface could be subjected to a continuous supply
of heat, raising the material temperature to levels in excess of 240°C
2.5 Product Damage Warnings
•Keep the top surface clean. Use a non-abrasive cleaning method to protect the Teflon™ PFA
surface coating.
•Unplug the unit and remove spills promptly after it has cooled down. Do not immerse unit for
cleaning. Keep this unit dry and clean.

5.0 Operation of the HPX
The HPX is a general purpose heating plate designed for laboratory procedures requiring precise control
of process temperatures. Electric heating elements and a temperature sensor are located below the
surface and within the graphite heating surface of the HPX. A microprocessor controlled digital PID
temperature controller with closed-loop feedback monitors the sensed temperature and accurately
controls the amount of power applied to the heating elements to maintain precise temperature control.
The HPX temperature may be set up to 240°C (200°C on some models).
Items or solutions placed on the HPX may not be at the same temperature as
the chosen temperature setting due to thermal transfer inefficiencies.
WARNING!
When using a temperature setting of 200°C or greater, ensure that the work
surface area directly beneath the HPX is a material that will not become
damaged by exposure to high temperatures.

HPX Properties
•The HPX is constructed of ISO-molded carbon graphite material for quick thermal conduction and
uniform surface temperature
•The TeflonTM PFA surface coating is corrosion proof, temperature resistant and resists aggressive
chemicals
•This product utilizes a microprocessor controlled digital PID temperature controller with closed-
loop feedback for accurate temperature control up to 240°C (200°C on some models)
•The PID temperature controller incorporates a countdown timer option to allow users to program
timed heating events
•An independent overheat protection circuit with automatic shutdown is incorporated for additional
safety
5.1 Setting the Temperature
1. Switch the Power button to the ON position. The Indicator Light should be illuminated.
2. Depress the Push To Start button one time to energize the temperature
controller. The Indicator Light will shut off.
3. The Heating Temperature Control and Display should now display two sets of
numbers. This is the home display screen. The upper red number displays the
current HPX temperature. The lower green number displays the user set
temperature (Figure 1).
The maximum temperature setting for the HPX is either 200°C or 240°C
depending on model and voltage. Please see section 3.2 for details.
4. The temperature will be displayed in either °F or °C, as indicated on the display. Temperature
units can be adjusted to user preference.
•See 8.2 - Changing Units - °F or °C
5. Press the Up/Down Arrow Keys to set the desired temperature in the lower green display
6. The HPX temperature (red number) will change to meet the set temperature value.The set
temperature will be accurately maintained until further changes are made.
5.2 Changing Units - °F or °C
1. Toggle the Advance Key until C_F l is displayed (Figure 2)
2. Press the Up/Down Arrow Keys to toggle between °F or °C
3. Press the Infinity Key to return to the Home Display Screen

5.3 Setting Countdown Timer Function (optional)
The temperature controller can be programmed to perform a timed heating function. The user programs
a low temperature setting, a high temperature setting, and a total heating time up to 99 hours and 59
minutes. The countdown timer can be displayed to show total heating time remaining.
1. From the Home Display Screen (Figure 1) choose the low temperature setting by pressing the
Up/Down Arrow Keys. The low temperature setting is the temperature that the HPX will cool to
after the timed heating cycle has finished.
The minimum low temperature setting for all HPX units is 20°C and the
maximum temperature setting for the HPX is either 200°C or 240°C
depending on model and voltage. Please see section 3.2 for details on
maximum temperature.
2. Toggle the Advance Key twice to display the high temperature screen as
indicated by the digital readout Ct.SI (Figure 3). Press the Up/Down Arrow
Keys to the desired high temperature setting. The high temperature setting is
the temperature that the HPX will heat to and maintain during the timed
heating cycle.
3. Press the Advance Key to display the hour screen as indicated by the digital
readout hoUI (Figure 4). Press the Up/Down Arrow Keys to set the number
of hours (up to 99) for which the countdown timer will maintain the high
temperature setting.
The timer will only begin counting down when the HPX temperature has
reached ±5°C of the high temperature setting.
4. Press the Advance Key to display the minutes screen as indicated by the
digital readout Mil (Figure 5).Press the Up/Down Arrow Keys to set the
number of minutes (up to 59) for which the countdown timer will hold high
temperature setting.

5. Toggle the Advance Key to the ‘time remaining’ display as indicated by the
digital readout t.rl (Figure 6)
6. Press the EZ Key to start the programmed countdown timer heating cycle.
The numbers shown are the hours and minutes that have been entered for
the timed heating cycle.
7. The colon marks in the time remaining display will flash to
indicate that the timed cycle is running (Figure 7)
The timer will only begin counting down when the HPX temperature is within
±5°C of the high temperature setting.
8. When the programmed time has elapsed, the HPX will automatically revert to the low temperature
setting (step 1) and hold indefinitely
9. Toggling the Advance Key allows the user to display the screen of choice between time and
temperature
10. To cancel the timed heating function, press the EZ Key and then the Infinity Key. This returns
the controller to the home display screen and allows for simple temperature set point operation.
11. The timed heating cycle can be restarted by pressing the EZ Key two times. This will restart the
timed cycle from the initial time setting.

5.4 Resetting and Restarting the HPX – Over Temperature Condition
If there is a malfunction of the HPX and the temperature rises to 250°C ±8°C, an independent circuit will
trigger the automatic shutdown of the HPX. When this occurs all electrical power is interrupted to the
HPX heaters, and the red Indicator Light on the front panel will be lit. The HPX is prevented from being
re-energized until its temperature has cooled to 220°C ± 10°C and must be manually re-started. When it
has cooled simply press the “Push to Start” button to re-energize.
Note:On models that have a maximum temperature setting of 200°C, the overheat circuit will trigger the
automatic shutdown at 215°C ± 7°C. When the HPX has cooled to a temperature of 185°C ± 10°C, the
unit can be re-started by pressing the “Push to Start” button.
WARNING!
The original fault condition should first be diagnosed and repaired before
putting the HPX back into service or the same automatic over temperature
shutdown will occur. Multiple occurrences of the automatic shutdown feature
may indicate an unsafe operating condition. Disconnect and discontinue use of
the HPX and contact Savillex or its authorized distributor.
6.0 Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Repair

8.2 Calibration Offset of Temperature Display
Authorized Personnel Only!
The following instructions allow a user to add a calibration offset to the input of the temperature controller.
Calibration offset provides a means of calibrating the controller to an external sensor or other device that
may more accurately display the actual surface temperature of the HPX. A positive offset increases the
input value and a negative offset decreases the input value.
WARNING!
In the event that the programmer inadvertently makes a change to parameters
that should not have been changed, the controller may not function as
intended. Contact Savillex its authorized distributor for instructions on how to
restore the controller to the original settings.
