5.3 Installing the ThermoTop
The condens.protect technology available with ThermoTop prevents the formation of
condensation on the inner wall or the lid of the tube.
Prerequisites
• Tubes or plates have been inserted.
Place the ThermoTop on the device
vertically from above. The centering pins
behind the heating plate fit into the
recesses of the ThermoTop.
• The ThermoTop is correctly positioned if
the seal is fully flush with the upper part
of the device.
• The blue LED of the ThermoTop lights.
• The symbol appears in the display.
Functioning principle of the ThermoTop
• In order to prevent the formation of any condensate in a reliable manner, the
device first heats the ThermoTop until it reaches the set temperature. The
tempering of the thermoblock occurs with a delay.
• The temperature sensor of the thermoblock reacts to the temperature of
samples: after inserting samples into a pre-heated thermoblock, the displayed
actual temperature may fall temporarily.
• While the device is tempering, the blue LED of the ThermoTop is flashing.
