TEMPERATURE: The temperature function prevents overheating of the sample by
continuously monitoring the sample temperature, and terminating the ultrasonics when
the temperature reaches a predetermined setpoint. The ultrasonics is automatically
reinstated when the temperature drops below the setpoint. If the temperature of the
sample must be monitored and /or controlled, insert the optional Temperature Probe
forcefully into the small jack on the rear panel, immerse the Temperature Probe in the
sample and Press the
TEMP key.
The screen will display:
Using the numeric keys set the high temperature limit (setpoint).
