op erate. If these operations are not normal, the device may
be damaged during transportation, please contact
manufacturer/supplier for technical support.
Warning !
Do not remove the vessel when the instrument is
operating.。
6 Function: Heating
The device is controlled by digital temperature control
technology, which has two separate safety circuits. The
hotplate is kept at a constant temperature by a digital
control circuit. The hotplate temperature can also be
controlled from a separate, adjustable safety circuit. The
two temperature sensors (PT1000) internal for temperature
control are built into the hotplate. The single external
PT1000 can control the temperature of sample.
•Plug in the external PT1000.
•Set the temperature via rotating the temperature
control knob slowly to the target value, press
parameter set knob and switch on the heating function.
•When the heating function is switched on, the LED
“Heat” will light up and the LCD will display the
actual temperature.
•The set temperature will be displayed on the
right-hand side of the LCD as well as Temp and °C
characters.
•The heating function is switched on or off by pushing
heating knob.
Instrument is turned on for the setting zone temperature
setting when the last shutdown temperature, the common
case, set the heating temperature display the actual
temperature may have the following differences:
-Hotplate center and outer edge.

8
-The sample container and the container.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the liquid temperature
inside the container, please use the PT1000 external
temperature sensor.
6.1 Working with the PT1000 external
temperature sensor
Figure 6
The PT1000 external temperature sensor is the
manufacturer’s optional accessory. If the sensor is plugged
in, “Probe” will be shown on the digital display to indicate
the sensor is operating. The setting value of external
temperature sensors and actual temperature are displayed.
The safety circuit controls hotplate temperature.
Comparing with the temperature control of the hotplate, the
external temperature sensor can control the medium’s
temperature more precisely. The external temperature
sensor must be put in sample container, if detect anomalies,
heating will automatically shut down. Please do the
following at this time:
•Turn off the power
•Ensure the external temperature sensor is positioned
sample container correctly
•Turn on the power, set the target temperature and
switch on the heating function
•If the unit is still not functioning correctly, please
contact manufacturer/supplier
6.2 Residual heat warning（HOT）
In order to help prevent the risk of burns from the hotplate,
this instrument has a residual heat warning function. When
the heating function is switched off (and the power cord is
still plugged in) and the heating plate temperature is still
above 50°C, “Hot” will flash to warn that it is unsafe to
touch.. When the hotplate temperature drops to below 50°C,
the display will automatically switch off. To completely

9
turn off the unit, pull out the plug. When the plug is pulled
out, the residual heat warning function will not function.
7 Stirring
The “stirring” function is switched on or off via rotating
stirring knob. The speed is set on the knob (100 to 1500
rpm in steps of 10 rpm). When both the heating function
and stirring are switched on and the above operations are
completed, the LCD will shift to the speed value and revert
back to the temperature value in about 5 seconds.
The last speed value set is displayed.
8 Timer
Turn the Function switch knob to time set interface, turn the
parameter set knob to target time, press parameter set knob,
to switch on timer function.
Attention: The heating and stirring function can be
switched on at the same time only when setting the timer
function. Otherwise, only the stirring function can be
switched on.
9 Remote Control
