VI. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Torrey Pines Scientific IC22/IC22XT units are Peltier driven for chilling & heating. They come with a universal power suppl. The units have only one moving part, the DC fan that cools the unit. Everything else is solid state and should last years without problem. All functions of the unit are accessible from the front panel via the membrane switch and accompanying digital display.

The units are equipped with EEPROM memory that will store user settings such as the last set point, MENU options, user changed calibration points, and logged data points. The stored values will be recalled each time the unit powers up to maintain the configuration of the previous session. Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
The displayed plate temperatures are the actual temperature of the center of the plate surface. There are two LEDs on the front panel. One is a power-on indicator and the other is the plate surface hot indicator that will illuminate when the plate is at or above 50C. Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
REAR PANEL The rear panel shown has the on/off power switch at the left, the 12 Volt DC power input jack in the middle, the DB9 connector for the RS232 I/O port is on the right. Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
6. Set target temperature and timer, if wanted, according to the instructions that follow. Note: Do not use this equipment in any manner not specified by the manufacturer. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION 1. This unit is for installation category II. 2. This unit is rated pollution degree 2. Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
The two push buttons enable the user to set a temperature, to set a timer, and to calibrate the temperature against a local standard. Figure 1 below describes the screens for different modes of operation. Figure 1: Display Screens for Different Modes of Operation Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
A press-and-hold double key press is described as simultaneously pressing and continuing to press both UP and DOWN ARROW keys for approximately 3 seconds. For example, in Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.

Two-Point User Calibration Proper two-point calibration requires the unit to be calibrated by the user at both a low temperature and a high temperature. After calibration, the control algorithm inside the IC22 Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
37C, the measured value when the unit reads 37C will be 37C, but when the unit reads 25C the measured value will likely be higher or lower than 25C. *”IC22” in the above text applies to models IC22 and IC22XT Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
Check with the factory if help is needed. Also, calibration kits are available. Figure 11: Menu Map to Calibrate the Front Plate Temperatures Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
Figure 12 shows the keystrokes to reset the calibration points. Select “Reset Cal Pts” and the unit will retrieve the calibration values obtained when the unit was calibrated at the factory prior to shipment. Figure 12: Menu Map to Reset Cal Points to Factory Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
