6. The unit will then begin to automatically adjust its operating temperature to your
original set point with the re-calibration factor included. Allow sufficient time
for the unit to re-equilibrate and then again compare the thermometer or sensor
reading to the calibrated display. They should closely match. If not, repeat the
calibration procedure.
* Thermometers used for calibration purposes should have a written calibration
certificate and be traceable back to NIST or some other certified body. General lab
thermometers are often not accurate enough for calibration work.
7.0 RS232 Interface
The Digital Dry Baths have an RS232 unidirectional data port. An optional software
disk and interface cable are available which allow a user to use a desk top or lap top
computer to record and/or print a record or the temperature profile produced by the
dry bath.

9.0 Cleaning and Maintenance
Make sure that the dry bath and block are cool and the power cord disconnected
before performing any cleaning or maintenance. The dry bath may be cleaned with
a moist cloth containing a mild soap solution. Do not immerse the dry bath in water
or any liquid.
The blocks may also be cleaned in a mild soapy solution. Be sure that all items have
thoroughly dried before attempting to connect the cord or use the unit.
Spills: In the event liquid is accidentally spilled into the bath or well area, disconnect
the plug from the outlet and turn the unit upside down to minimize liquid contact
with the internal components. Remove the bottom cover and inspect to assure
liquid has not contacted heater elements, electronic controls, or connectors. Have
qualified service technician clean the unit and replace any damaged parts.
