Examples of dish INCORRECT installation Dish is on the Sensor There is an object on Dish protrudes beyond the the Sensor heating surface It may cause sensor false detection, which There is a risk that the sample is not heated may affect temperature control.
Page 19: Pid Calibration
6. PID Calibration This system adopts PID control for stable temp. control, and the controller is calibrated under the environment of room temperature 25 ± 2℃ before shipping. If the temp. of the Heating Plate is not stable in your environment, the controller can calculate the optimum parameters according to your environment by carrying out PID calibration so that the Heating Plate temp.
Page 20: Shift Calibration
7. Shift Calibration The Shift Calibration is for correcting temp. so that the surface temp. of the Heating Plate is equal to the temp. of the External Temp. Sensor measures. * Since the External Temp. Sensor is not included in the Economy Type, this operation can not be carried out.
