• Do not add bath fluid to the bath unless the bath temperature is within 10°C of ambient. • Do not splash liquids on the external surfaces of the CT-500, includ- ® ing the Pyrex bath jar. •... -
Page 6: Safety Features
Bath fluid level cutoff The CT-500 will not operate if the liquid level in the bath is too low. If such a condition occurs, all power is removed from the bath until the liquid level in the bath is restored to the minimum safe level. -
Page 7: Unpacking And Assembly
It is recommended that two people carry the shipping cartons and the heavier unpacked components. When lifting the CT-500 bath, do not grasp the handles of the electrical drawer. Drawer handles are not designed to bear the weight of the instrument. -
Page 8: Assembly
Be careful when lifting the control housing; it is quite heavy. CAUTION Minimum clearance The CT-500 series II bath requires 25 cm (10") of clearance to the rear and sides of the unit. Support/insulation 2. The CT-600 will require two felt pads. - Page 9 CANNON CANNON CANNON CANNON CANNON ® CT-500/600 Series II CONSTANT TEMPERATURE BATH Version 3..2—March, 2007; CANNON CANNON CANNON CANNON CANNON ® Instrument Company 2139 High Tech Road • State College, PA • 16803 • USA...

Page 14: Filling The Bath
Filling the bath Make sure that the bath is placed in its intended final position before adding bath fluid. The CT-500 should not be moved with bath fluid in the bath jar. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE BATH LIQUIDS. 1. Make sure that the instrument power is OFF and select a bath liquid appropriate to your operating temperature range (see APPENDIX D). -

5. Re-lock the dial. Setting the temperature Do not touch hot surfaces of the CT-500 bath when operating the equip- ment at high temperatures or burns may result. There are two ways to set the CT-500 bath temperature. The procedure depends upon whether or not the desired temperature is on the T - SELECT dial. -

2 and try again. Custom temperature selection To set the CT-500 to a temperature not indicated on the T-SELECT dial: 1. Turn the T - SELECT dial to the temperature closest to your desired temperature. If the temperature is above the current bath tempera- ture, the CT-500 will begin heating and the HEAT LED (Light- Emitting Diode) will light. -
Page 18: Adjusting The High Temperature Limit Control
3. Release the lock on the TA - VARIABLE dial. 4. Read the thermometer in the CT-500 bath to determine the actual temperature of the bath. Make sure that both the thermometer and the bath temperature have stabilized before taking a reading. -
Page 19: Verifying Limit Control Operation
The Limit Control should be checked periodically to ensure its function- ality. To check the Limit Control, follow the procedure below: 1. Power up the CT-500 and set the instrument to a desired bath tem- perature. Wait for the temperature to stabilize at the desired tempera- ture. - Page 20 This page intentionally left blank.
