Audible Alarm | In timed mode, alarm will sound when time reaches zero or when unit reaches set-point temperature. |
Built-In Support Rod Holder | Rear housing features an off centered, built-in support rod holder with locking knob that accepts the probe kit supplied with heating models. |
Control Panel | Touch pad controls with easy-to-read, independent LED displays for temperature, speed, and time allow operator to view all settings at once. Provides repeatable and accurate results every time and is easily visible from outside fume hoods or across lab benches. Shows set-point and actual temperature. Timer will display elapsed time or, when programmed to user defined limit, will shut off unit when time reaches zero. Display will show last used settings, even after power has been turned off. |
Cool Touch Housing | Housing is made of a heat resistant polymer that is not only cool to the touch, but is also chemical resistant. |
Hot Top Indicator | For additional safety, hot symbol warning light is illuminated when heat is turned on and remains on until top plate cools down. |
Low Profile Design | Takes up minimal space and fits easily into fume hoods. Spill-resistant design channels fluids away from internal components. |
Maximum Temperature Limiting | (Plate over temperature limit) Ensures plate temperature will never exceed users programmed set temperature limit, allowing for control of samples with sensitive flash points. (for hotplates or hotplate-stirrers) |
Microprocessor Control | Advanced electronics regulate both heating and stirring and bring samples to temperature quickly and efficiently. RTD accurately measures and controls temperature. Precise speed control provides consistent stirring at all speeds. Powerful continuous duty motor delivers dependable and reliable stirring. |
Probe Protection | If probe disengages from sample, unit will automatically shut off heater. |
RTD Probe Kit | Probe kit includes an 8" (20.3cm) stainless steel RTD temperature probe, 12" (30.5cm) flex arm, interchangeable 3-prong clamp head, 2-prong clamp head and spring clamp head. |
Speed Ramping Feature | Slowly increases motor speed for improved safety and enhanced coupling. Avoids splashing, improves spin bar control, and provides excellent low end speed control. |
Stir Protection | If stirrer motor stops or fails, unit will automatically shut down heater. |
Top Plate Material | Durable aluminum tops will not crack or chip, and provide a more even temperature distribution. |
