    5. Press UP & DOWN buttons at the same time for 1 second to confirm (see Figure 17 e). 6. Repeat steps 1,2,3, 4 and 5 to insert values for T1, K2, T2 and Delta T parameters. To know the correct parameters values for you device or to receive more information about PID parameters contact Okolab at support@oko-lab.com.

  • Page 17: Calibration

    7.2.2 Calibration H401-T-PENNY allows to calibrate the connected Heating Device. To do so, you need an accurate independent Temperature Sensor with which to measure the temperature of the liquid inside the sample holder. The Calibration is completed when you achieve the desired temperature of the liquid inside the sample holder.
  • Page 18 Figure 18. T Sensor secured inside a Petri Dish 2. Fill the sample holder with oil or water to the level used during regular practice. Make sure the tip of the independent T Sensor is immersed in the liquid, inside the sample holder (see Figure 19). Figure 19.
  • Page 19 Figure 20. H401-T-PENNY: manual calibration with LEO 5. Wait until the temperature measured by LEO (or by any other independent sensor) is stable. 6. Make sure that H401-T-PENNY has reached the steady state, i.e. the status indicator is the Check Mark icon (see paragraph 7.1.1).
  • Page 20 T Sensor and the Setpoint temperature. In the example shown in Figure 20, LEO reports 37.2°C and H401-T-PENNY reads 37°C, the Offset value will be 0.2°C, as shown in Figure 23. Note ► After changing the offset, it is advisable to wait at least 10-20 minutes to ensure that the temperature inside the sample holder is stable.
