CR 4200 Overview Overview The CR 4200 thermoreactor is a dry temperature control device for use in the laboratory. It facilitates and safeguards the digestion with reac- tion cells. 8 temperature programs are permanently set. 1: 148 °C for 120 minutes ...
CR 4200 Safety Safety Safety information 2.1.1 Safety information in this operating manual This operating manual provides important information on the safe oper- ation of the instrument. Read this operating manual thoroughly and make yourself familiar with the instrument before putting it into opera- tion or working with it.
Safety CR 4200 Safe operation 2.2.1 Authorized use The authorized use is exclusively the carrying out of reactions for pho- tometric determinations, with the aid of commercial test sets, in round cells with a diameter of 16 ± 0.2 mm. Only the operation and running of...
CR 4200 Safety Personal protective equipment For your safety, wear the following personal protective equipment to be protected against any (residual) risk while carrying out certain activities: Protective goggles and protective clothing with long sleeves as a protection against any splashes of hot and corrosive liquids ...
The protection cover should always be closed when the instrument is not operating. The thermoblock must be empty while the instrument is being trans- ported. Scope of delivery Thermoreactor CR 4200 Power cable Operating manual Unpacking and positioning CAUTION The instrument is quite heavy.
CR 4200 Commissioning Note Please make sure to keep the original packing including the inner pack- ages so the instrument will be optimally protected against strong im- pacts if it has to be transported. The original packing is also required for the appropriate return transport if the instrument has to be repaired.

Basic principles of operation CR 4200 – Setting the display contrast (CONTRAST:0 to 9, see section 5.6.2) – Activating a manual confirmation before the timer for the reaction time is started (START TIMER:MAN. or AUTO, see section 5.6.3) Program selection After switching on with e the display shows the current tempera- ture values for each thermoblock.
CR 4200 Operation Operation Inserting and removing the reaction cells WARNING Always wear protective goggles and protective clothing with long sleeves as a protection against any splashes of hot and corrosive liquids. When dealing with cell tests always follow the relevant safety data sheets and analysis specifications.

Operation CR 4200 The reaction temperature is reached when the temperature in the thermoblock is in a range of ± 1 °C around the adjusted temperature for two minutes constantly. The control lamp of the thermoblock will then light up red.
CR 4200 Operation Starting the second temperature program For one thermoblock a temperature program was already started. The control lamp for this thermoblock flashes or lights up red. You can start a second temperature program for the second thermoblock. Note The temperature test program is not available as a second temperature program.
Operation CR 4200 While STOP? is displayed the temperature program goes on running. As soon as a section of the temperature program is finished (e.g. after the end of the heating period or after the end of the reaction time), the STOP? display is overwritten.
CR 4200 Operation Using g, start the temperature test program T. The first display line shows the nominal measuring time and the tem- perature of the thermoblock. The second display line shows the tem- perature of the external temperature sensor. After the nominal temperature has been reached, the measuring time is counted down in the second display line.

CR 4200 Operation Start the data transmission with g. After the transmission is finished the test report is deleted in the thermoreactor. Settings 5.6.1 Editing a temperature program The temperature programs 1 to 8 are installed permanently and cannot be changed.
Operation CR 4200 Using g, confirm the changes. The marking on the display (*) disappears. Using e leave the SETUP menu. The changes are stored. The thermoreactor is switched on (operation mode: program selection). 5.6.2 Setting the display contrast The display contrast can be set in 10 steps.
CR 4200 Operation 5.6.3 Setting the timer for the reaction time After the start of a temperature program the thermoblock starts heating up. Depending on the setting, the timer for the reaction time starts auto- matically after the reaction temperature has been reached or only after confirmation by keypressing.
