7 Parts and Controls

7.1Control Panel

The following controls and indicators are present on the controller front panel (see Figure 2 below): (1) the digital LED display, (2) the control buttons, (3) the on/off power switch, (4) the heater mode light, and (5) the cooling on/off switch.

1)The digital display is an important part of the temperature controller. It displays the set-point temperature and bath temperature as well as the various other bath functions, settings, and constants. The display shows temperatures according to the selected scale units °C or °F.

2)The control buttons (SET, DOWN, UP, and EXIT) are used to set the bath temperature set-point, access and set other operating parameters, and access and set bath calibration parameters. A brief description of the functions of the buttons follows:

SET - Used to display the next parameter in a menu and to set parame- ters to the displayed value.

DOWN - Used to decrement the displayed value of parameters. UP - Used to increment the displayed value.

EXIT - Used to exit from a menu. When EXIT is pressed any changes made to the displayed value will be ignored.

3)The on/off switch controls power to the entire bath including the stir- ring motor.
