Page 18: Unpacking
TEMpErATUrE bAThs Techne supply a range of liquid baths from 8 to 48 litre which can be fitted with any of the TE-10 or TU-20 thermoregulators. The B-8, B-12, B-18, and B-26 bath inner containers are manufactured from stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and are deep drawn with large easy clean corner radii. -
Page 19: Set Up
set Up There are two modes of operation for the pump; circulation internal to the bath; circulation external to the bath. For internal circulation the blanking caps on the top of the outlet and return pipes should be securely in place. They screw on and, for safety, they may be tight. For external circulation these need to be removed. - Page 20 5 Begin by securing the bridge piece to the bath. Use the two M4 countersunk stainless screws and screw into the holes in the corners of the bath. Use M4 countersunk screws 6 Locate the thermoregulator above the bridge piece. Toggle the heating element carefully through the clearance hole.
- Page 21 10 A cooling coil will give control for temperatures between 5°C above ambient and 5°C above the temperature of the water supply. See the list of accessories as the cooling coil is an accessory on the TE-10A, TE-10D and the TU-20D. Slots for Cooling Coil The cooling coil is fitted to the thermoregulator just below the over-temperature cut-out reset button.
- Page 22 Adjust the water flow to give the required cooling. 11 For lower temperatures, a Dip Cooler such as a Techne RU-200 or RU-500 or a Flow Cooler such as the FC-200 or FC-500 is required. Alternatively you could use either the RB-5A or the RB-12A Techne refrigerated baths, which have integrated fridge coils and no additional cooling mechanism is required.
- Page 23 15 A bath that is fitted with a lid or insulating ball blanket gives the best operating conditions. A lid or ball blanket will prevent vapour loss, heat loss and give better temperature control. If an open bath is used above 80°C (ie where steam or other readily condensing vapours are present) the operation of the unit, particularly the digital display on the TE-10D and the TU-20D, may be affected.

• Due to variations in heat losses, the actual temperature may vary. If you need to control the temperature to a greater accuracy than the TE-10A’s accuracy, place a thermometer in the lugs as shown on page 21. For greater accuracy still you can place the thermometer in one of the samples. -
Page 29: When You Switch On The Te-10D Or The Tu-20D

For example software issue “5.12” would be shown as follows: It will display this for 1 second, then the actual temperature of the bath will be indicated. ThE frOnT pAnEl cOnTrOls The front panel controls consist of three buttons for controlling the display, a four digit LED display and three indicators. - Page 30 The DOWn ArrOW button When the SET temperature button is held down and the DOWN ARROW button is pressed, the set temperature is decreased. speed of change of set temperature Each press of the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW buttons will increase or decrease the set temperature by 0.1°C.
- Page 31 Over-temperature indicator If the unit should, for any reason, exceed the temperature set for the over-temperature cut-out, the over-temperature indicator will light. The heater will have been switched off and the unit will begin to cool even if the heater light is on (the light staying on or not depends on which circuit has sensed an over-temperature).

Page 32: After Use
AfTEr UsE When you have finished heating samples, remember that parts of the unit and the samples may be very hot. Take the precautions listed earlier. We recommend that the samples should be allowed to cool to 50°C before being removed from the bath. They will still have to be handled with care. Should you want to remove the unit from the bath, it too should be allowed to cool to 50°C before being removed. -
Page 33: Setting The Over-Temperature Cut-Out Tu-20D Only
sETTIng ThE OvEr-TEMpErATUrE cUT-OUT An adjustable over-temperature cut-out is fitted. When the cut-out operates, the heater will stop working and the ‘over-temperature cut-out indicator’ will illuminate. On the TU-20D an audible alarm will sound. The pump will continue working on all units. Over-temperature reset button It should be set to approximately 10°C ABOVE THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. -

rs232 sErIAl InTErfAcE The TU-20D may send data logging information to a compatible computer by connecting the unit and the PC via an RS232 cable, and installing the “Thermsoft” software. Contact your supplier for details. RS232 Connection The RS232 cable must be fitted to both the unit and the PC before either unit is powered up, otherwise, data integrity cannot be guaranteed. -

Page 36: Calibration Of The Te-10D & Tu-20D
cAlIbrATIOn Of ThE TE-10D AnD TU-20D remember that if you change the calibration from that set at the factory you may change the calibration at all temperatures. You may get different calibration with different baths and/or liquids. In order to ensure that the calibration you are setting is correct, you will need to use an independent calibrated probe or thermometer. -
