3.3.1 Starting the TC01/02
All functions are set in the menu of the TC01/02, including switching the TC01/02 on and off.
If the TC01/02 is switched off, it goes into standby mode. The instrument and display are only
switched off completely when the TC01/02 is disconnected from the power supply. Most of the
power consumption of 6 W in standby mode is used by the power supply unit.
In the main menu on the display, select On / Off.
The TC01/02 starts to control the temperature on the selected channels immediately.
If the TC01/02 is connected properly, the actual temperature and the setpoint temperature
are displayed in the Temperature Control view.
