During operation, maintenance and repair of this instrument, the
following basic safety notes should be observed. In case of failure to follow
these instructions, the warnings or notes indicated herein, the basic
protection provided by the instrument, its safety criteria of design and
manufacture, and its predicted use range would be impaired. If the
equipment is used in a manner not specified bythe manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
ermo Fisher Scientic is not responsible for any injury as a result of the
user’s failure to observe the following requirements.
is instrument is for indoor use.
a) e ground connectiona) e ground connection
To avoid the electric shock, the input power line must be reliably
grounded. e instrument is equipped with the three-pin plug that has the
third pin (the pin connects the ground), therefore, the plug should be used
with the grounded power socket only. is is a kind of safety device. If the
plug cannot be plugged into the power socket, please ask the electrician to
install a correct power socket, so as to make the grounded plug to work for
safety.
b) Servicing and Replacement of Parts
e operator should not take apart the instrument without permission.
Only qualied professionals are allowed to replace elements or adjust
components inside the instrument. Replacement of components while unit
is connected to power and/or turned on is prohibited.
c) Observe voltage/power requirementsc) Observe voltage/power requirements
Before the instrument is connected with the AC power source, the voltage
of the power source should be the same with the required voltage of the
instrument (a deviation of 10% is allowed). e rated load of the power
socket should not be lower than the requirements of the instrument.
d) e power cord
e instrument should use the power line cord attached to it. If the
power line is destroyed, it must be replaced but not be repaired. e
replacement should be carried out with the power line of the same type
and same specication. No items should be put on the power cord when
the instrument is in operation.
b) Servicing and Replacement of Parts
d) e power cord

e) Connecting and disconnecting from to power sourcee) Connecting and disconnecting from to power source
e user should hold the plug to remove from power source. When
connecting the plug, user should make sure it has been fully plugged in;
when removing the plug, do not pull the power line forcefully.
f) Placement of the instrumentf) Placement of the instrument
is instrument should be xed in a low RH and low dust place away
from water source (e.g. sink or water pipeline) and the room should be
well ventilated, and free of corrosive gas or interference of strong magnetic
eld. e instrument should not be placed in a wet or dusty location.
e openings on this instrument are for ventilation circulation and in
order to avoid over-heat of the instrument body they should not be
blocked or covered. When a single set of instrument is used, the interval
between ventilation opening before and after the instrument and its nearest
object should not be less than 25cm. Also, don’t use the instrument on
loose or soft surface, or the air inlet of instrument bottom might be
blocked. Excessive temperature will impair performance or result in failure
of instrument. is instrument should not be used in location subjected to
direct sun light. e instrument should be kept away from hot gas, oven
and all other heat sources. If the instrument is to be stored for a long time,
the power plug should be withdrawn and the instrument covered with soft
e product is powered by connecting the mains plug to a standard
socket-outlet.Always place the product in such a way that it is easy for the
operator to disconnect the product from the mains supply.

e holes of the blocks should be regularly cleaned with the damp cloth to
ensure the test tube be well contacted with the wall of the holes so as to
have good heat conduction. If the surface of the instrument is polluted, it
can be cleaned with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Warning
When cleaning the instrument, the power supply should be shut
o and unplugged. e instrument surface should be cleaned with a non-
corrosive cleaning agent.

Section 6 Operation Guidance
The chapter introduces the display window and the operation of buttons
of the dry bath with constant temperature.
Confirm the following before inserting the plug into the power socket.
1. Ensure the power source is in accordance with the voltage requirement
of the instrument (refer to Features section for voltage requirements).
2. Make sure the plug has been fully plugged into the power socket.
3. Ensure the power line has been reliably grounded.
Caution If the display of the instrument is abnormal after startup, turn off
the power source immediately and contact the supplier. ▲
Press the power switch and the instrument will power on. All indicator
lights and display serial ports will be turned on. About 3~5 seconds later,
temperature display window will show the real-time temperature. All
indicator lights will be turned off.
When the instrument is not running, press “SET/CAL.”, the instrument
will enter setting status. At that time, temperature display window shows
the previous temperature value with the first figure on the left flashing.
Press “SHIFT”, the flashing place can be moved, press “▲”or “▼”to
increase or decrease the flashing figure.
When the temperature is set, press “SET/CAL.” to enter into the time
setting mode and the time display window shows the previous time value
with the first figure on the left flashing. Press “SHIFT”, the flashing place
can be moved, press “▲”or “▼”to increase or decrease the flashing figure.
Wait for 5 seconds after setting, and do not operate the instrument. After
5 seconds, the instrument will automatically exit, setting the status. The
temperature window will show real-time temperature.
Instruction: There is limitation for temperature and time setting. The
setting temperature range is: 15~135°C
；
the time range is: 0~99h59min
and continuous mode “--:--”.

Set the Temperature
and Time Values

Press “START/STOP” to start operation. At this time, the indicator light
“HEAT” will be flashing. When the instrument achieves the setting
temperature, the “HEAT” light will stop flashing. This indicates that the
unit will enter Hold Temperature status. The digital display window will
display the real-time temperature, and the timing function by pressing
“SHIFT” button.
When the holding time equals the setting time, the instrument will alarm
5 times. Under the working status, press “START/STOP” to stop working.
At that time, corresponding working indicator light “HEAT” will be
turned off. The digital display window displays the real-time temperature.
During operation, when the instrument temperature isstabilized, the
“HEAT” light will stop flashing. Press “SET/CAL.” to enter into
Temperature Adjusting status. At that time, the digital display window
shows the temperature value that needs to be adjusted with the first figure
on the left flashing. Press “SHIFT” to move the flashing place and press
“▲”or “▼”to increase or decrease the flashing figure. Adjust the display
temperature to the actually verified temperature and then press
“SET/CAL.”. The instrument will drop out of Adjusting status and
continue to work.
Caution
1. To ensure the accuracy of temperature, the instrument shall be
calibrated after temperature stabilizes for 30 minutes.
2. Calibrate the instrument with qualified Grade II standard filled
thermometer
3. Calibration point: The middle hole of the heat block. Fill with
paraffin oil and soak the thermometer bulb.
