information.
Operating condition
RRV Bath Temp.
Temperature status of the heating bath fluid
in the reaction tray. The normal temperature
range is 37.0 ± 0.5°C. A temperature
exceeding 50°C with the thermostat on is
overheated.
RRV Bath Control
Circuit control that keeps the reaction
(RRV) bath temperature in range.
RRV Bath Circ.
Flow rate status of the heating bath fluid.
The status is determined by the flow rate in
the RRV Bath Circ. field.
RRV Bath Circ. Rate
Flow rate of the heating bath fluid, in
mL/minute. A flow rate <2000 mL/minute
or >6000 mL/minute is considered
abnormal.
RRV Oil Level
Status of the quantity of heating bath fluid.
Insufficient liquid is detected by liquid level
sensors in the bath. If insufficient liquid is
detected, more oil is pumped into the bath.
Oil Bottle Level
Status of the quantity of heating bath fluid
in the bottle. Insufficient liquid is detected
by a liquid level sensor in the bottle.
Wash vol.
Status of the water volume of the deionized
water bottle. Insufficient liquid is detected
by the deionized water bottle level sensor.

Make sure the bath oil is circulating
properly in the constant temperature bath.

OK
Fill the incubation bath oil bottle with
more oil. Make sure the liquid level
sensors are positioned correctly.
OK NG
Fill the pure-water (deionized) bottle.
Deionizers produce less water at colder
temperatures. If the temperature is lower
than normal, a supply problem may exist.
Also, check your exterior water supply to
confirm that it is adequately supplying the
internal water bottle.
