Page 4: General Description
The Torrey Pines Scientific HP60 & HS60 Programmable Hot Plates & Hot Plate/Stirrers are capable of temperatures in excess of 450ΕC at the plate surface. Touching the heated surface will cause severe burns. USE EXTREME CAUTION AT ALL TIMES. Never leave your hot plate accessible to others while it is hot.
Page 5: Front And Rear Panel Controls
milled-flat cast aluminum top. All functions are settable from the digital front panel and display. These units when received display temperature in ºC. They may be switched to read in ºF. See page 6. HEATER Either the plate surface temperature or the actual sample temperature may be set. A sensor in the plate is used to monitor surface temperature, or, alternately, a 100-ohm, 3-wire, platinum RTD temperature probe may be connected to the rear of the unit and inserted into the sample to measure sample temperature.
Page 6 Shown above are the keyboard and display for the HS65 Programmable Digital Hot Plate/Stirrer. This unit has 5-stirring positions and is the most complex unit in the series. Other models in the series will have a single stirring position or no stirrer at all. The keypads will vary depending upon the keys needed for the units in this series with less functions.
Page 7 The AC power connector jack and fuse holder are a module mounted on the rear of the unit. The temperature probe jack and RS232 I/O port jacks are on the rear panel as well. Note the polarity on the probe jack. Be sure not to force this connection when plugging in the temperature probe. The AC power jack is a three-prong, male plug combining the snap-in fuse holder.
Page 8: Set Up Instructions
SET UP PARAMETERS 1. Ambient operating temperature range is from 5ΕC to 40ΕC. 2. Maximum altitude of operation should not exceed 2000 meters. 3. Maximum ambient operating relative humidity should not exceed 80% at 31ΕC decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40ΕC. SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 1.
Page 9 Plate/Probe Temperature: The icon to the left of the numbers will switch from a picture of a probe in a vessel when the probe is in use to a flat surface with heat rays radiating up from the surface when the probe is removed and the plate surface is being controlled. The row of numbers to the right shows the temperature of either the plate or probe.
Page 10 Up/Down, Right/Left Arrows: The UP and DOWN arrows to the right of the display are used to set numeric values for the probe temperature, plate temperature, stirrer, ramp, timer, and progressing within the steps of a program when writing or editing the program. Pushing the RIGHT and LEFT arrows are for selecting the digit to be set.
Page 11: Simple Operations
Cancel Button: The Cancel button is used to cancel a program step while writing or editing a program or to cancel any setting if made in error. Run Button: The Run button is used to start running a program in memory. Enter Button: The Enter button is used to enter a value setting into the unit in manual operation or in a program.
Page 12 température qui n=aura pas été. Setting Plate Temperature: To set a plate temperature the probe must not be plugged into the rear of the unit. With the probe unplugged, the unit will control the plate surface using a sensor built into the heater plate and the display will show only the target and actual heater plate surface temperatures.
Page 13 timer will now start to count down toward zero. When the timer reaches zero it will sound the audible alarm. To stop the alarm press CANCEL. Setting Auto-Off: The auto-off function is used with the timer. When activated, the unit will turn off the heater and stirrer when the timer counts down to zero.
Page 14: Temperature Calibration
program 1 is not the choice use the UP ARROW to scroll to the program of choice. When the program is chosen, press ENTER and the program stored in that site will start to run. As the program starts to run, as the unit progresses through the steps in the program, the audible alarm will sound five times for each step as the program progresses.
Page 15 for temperature measurement may not be the same as the users. Therefore, the HP/HS60 series has been designed to be calibrated in the field by the user. Follow the instructions below if calibration is wanted or needed. Note: To calibrate the unit the user is advised to remove all previously entered calibration data. To erase the calibration and return to not calibrated readings, press and hold the HEATER button for three seconds until the display reads CAL.
Page 16: Cleaning
The plate surface calibration procedure cannot be done with the temperature probe plugged into the rear of the unit. The calibration starts at the low temperatures and goes high. It is time consuming. Before making an adjustment, be sure that the plate temperature has stabilized at the point being calibrated.

position stirring units, the HS65. This unit has a fan on the rear of the unit too cool the stirrer motors. Vapor can be drawn into the unit by this fan. In any case when using corrosive chemicals, it is best to try to purge the unit using lab air or an inert gass. Plug as many holes as is possible and run the gas line into the unit.
