LED State
Off The basin heater is off.
The basin heater is in the ON-OFF cycle,
which allows the basin to be maintained
within the temperature band around the
set-point temperature (set-point ±3°C). If the
initial basin temperature is above the
Steady ON
programmed set-point temperature, the LED
will still be Steady ON even though the basin
heater is actually paused, waiting for the
basin to cool down to the programmed
temperature range.
