SAFETY THERMOSTAT: This hydraulic thermostat is a secondary back-up system to protect specimens from excessive heating in the unlikely event of microprocessor failure. It should be set slightly higher than the setpoint temperature. If the temperature should ever reach the setpoint +2ºC, a microprocessor safety will open a relay link to the heaters and shut them off, the hi-limit legend is displayed and beeper alarm sounds.
INSTALLATION SHIPPING CARTON: This should be inspected upon delivery. When received, carefully examine for any shipping damage before unpacking.

OPERATION: (Con’t) TIMER: (Con’t) Conversely, if the original selection is 1.5 minutes and 0.5 minutes have elapsed when a new timing interval of 1.0 minutes is entered, the timer will subtract the 0.5 minutes already elapsed and show 0.5 minutes as remaining. NOTE: IF THE ACCUMULATED TIME REACHES 99.9, THE SHAKER WILL CONTINUE TO SHAKE AND THE TIMER DISPLAY REMAINS AT 99.9 NOTE: THE SHAKER DOES NOT OPERATE IF THE TIMER IS SET AT 00.0.

OPERATION: (Con’t) AC POWER LOSS: The operating microprocessor possesses a non-volatile memory. Upon resumption or recovery from an AC power loss, the following will be noted: All readouts will flash until any key is pressed. If unit was shaking at the time of power failure, it will resume operation at the speed and timer settings that were entered at the time that AC power failed.
