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.
Hint!
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.
