Equipped with USB devices can be connected toa PC during operation (hot plugging). Connected devices and theirproperties are automatically recognized.Use the USB interface to update the firmware.Controlling the medium temperatureThe medium temperature is limited by the set safety temperaturecontrolled by means of a PID controller and measured by the PT1000 temperature sensor, and the medium is heated up as quicklyas possible without overshooting to the set temperature.The PID controller adapts to the different tempering media andensures optimum temperature control with minimum tempera-ture drift and fluctuation.Optimum control is only achieved when the medium is mixed us-ing a rotating evaporator piston.- Set the desired medium temperature between room tempera-ture and 99 °C by turning the rotating/pressing knob (C).- Start the heating function by pressing the rotating/pressing knob (C).- The LED heating (G) appears.- The heating bath is heated up to the set temperature.- The set and actual temperature referred to the medium areshown on the display.USB cable A - BThis cable is used to connect the USB interface to a PC.USB Micro B USB AMaintenance and cleaningThe device is maintenance-free.
