Safety Set Temperature

This is a "Do Not Exceed" temperature setting for your Circulator and is the temperature at which the
heater will be turned OFF should the liquid level in the bath drop too low or the heater malfunctions. It is
normally set about 5° higher than the desired operating temperature. Setting the Safety Set temperature
is a multi-step process.
WARNING: The Safety Thermostat is user-adjustable from approximately 40° to 170°C. Do not force
the indicator dial beyond the stops at either end of the dial's range. The "12:00" o'clock position
represents approximately 100°C.
NOTE: The Safety Set must be manually reset whenever it is tripped. The Reset is located in the
vertical slot to the left of the Safety Thermostat.
