Page 4: Important Information
Important Information This manual complies with the standards and directives mentioned in the EN DIN 61010-1 Norm. IQ, OQ and PQ documents are available on request. The systems are provided with a high-precision self-optimising temperature controller. Due to the self-optimisation it might oc- cur that the set temperature is exceeded in individual cases. -
Page 5: Temperature Accuracy
Temperature accuracy Every HLC by DITABIS system is calibrated with a gauged high-precision tem- perature measuring device to temperature accuracy and reproducibility. This process is performed at a room temperature of +20°C and a block tempera- ture of +37°C. The absolute calibration of the heating unit can also be per- formed for a certain temperature range if the customers desires. -

Step = Section within a program.
- Page 12 Select the relevant prog. no. and confirm the Start button in the program menu. Changing parameters during the pro- gram process Change of temperature and rotational speed as well as performing a Short-Mix are possible during a running program. The set time is the time of the running step, the remaining time is the time of the complete process.
