Operation

Positioning the device

Place the device on the flat and heat-resistant surface. The surface might get warm due to
the air flow coming from the device. Keep inflammable objects away from the calibration
area (5). Ensure proper ventilation. Keep a minimum of 20 cm on all sides.

Connecting an switching on the device

Connect the mains cable to the power supply socket at the back (14) and to a mains socket with protec-
tive grounding.
Use the on-off switch (15) to turn on the device.
Switch position ON = on (I)
Switch position OFF = off (0)
The fan starts running and a system test is carried out. After about 3 seconds, the last setpoint tempera-
ture and the last actual temperature are shown.

Setting the temperature

The cooling and heating area on the front heats up during operation. There is a risk
of burns when touched!
Two buttons on the blackbody allow you to set the desired temperature.
The UP button (7) increases to setpoint temperature, the DOWN button (8) decreases it.
Every keystroke changes the temperature by 0.1 °C. Holding down one of the two keys speeds up the
setting process. There are three setting speeds depending on how long a button is held down.
During the setting process the green setpoint display (2) flashes quickly. This confirms that you are in
setting mode. This does not have an effect on the temperature yet.
Once you have set the desired temperature, press the SET button (10) to confirm. The green setpoint
display (2) is permanent again.
Now the red actual temperature display slowly adjusts to the setpoint value.
Due to the system's characteristics, the setting range is bigger than the control
range. Settings outside of the range between 50°C and 350°C are not specified and
can overload the device.
It takes the device about 30 minutes to reach +350°C. The cooling process from +350°C to
100°C takes about 40 minutes. After reaching the set temperature, the blackbody needs
between 15 to 20 minutes to reach the stated stability.
