Introduction Please read all the information in this manual before operating the unit. Your SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place plate is a heating and/or stirring plate designed for laboratory procedures requiring precise control of temperature and/or stirring speed. Each SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place includes a digital display for monitoring temperature and/or stirring speed, and the stir- ring hot plate models have dual displays so temperature and stirring speed can be monitored simultaneously.
NTRODUCTION al purpose heating applications and/or general laboratory mixing of solutions, including sample preparation, heating reagents, melting paraffin, warming resinous chemicals, content analysis, solvent evaporations, digestions, media preparation and sterilization, titrations, sand baths, and microscale chemistry applications. General Usage Do not use this product for anything other than its intend- ed usage.
Unpacking and Installation Unpacking Warning Remove your SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place from the car- Use a properly grounded electrical ton. Inspect to ensure that the unit has not been damaged outlet of correct voltage and current during shipment. If the unit appears to have sustained handling capacity.

Principles of Operation Each SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place utilizes the latest micro- processor technology to deliver the most reliable, accu- rately controlled, ceramic top plate on the market. Your SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place has an electronic, closed-loop feedback control which will maintain tempera- ture setpoints from 1°C through 370°C. The SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place plates use a Type K thermocouple for measuring the top plate temperature, OTP and the external probe.
Operation Power Button The SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place has a power button Note located on the front control panel. The unit may be pow- When the unit is initially plugged into ered on by pressing the power button or ANY button on a power source, or when it is the control panel.

PERATION Controlling Solution Temperature Using External Probe To control the solution temperature plug the included probe or an ungrounded Type K thermocouple probe into the probe receptacle located on the right side of the unit. Be careful to observe the correct polarity of the probe connector when inserting probe.
PERATION Using Preset Programs The SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place features the option of pre- setting 3 setpoints into its memory (A, B or C.) To program a preset, adjust the heat and/or stir features to your desired setpoints. Press and hold one of the presets and the unit will beep indicating those setpoints have been stored in memory.
PERATION If at any time you wish to reset the timer, press the right or left arrow keys until the indicator light corresponds to your desired time. The unit will beep indicating it has been reset. One minute before shutdown, the unit will beep three times and flash the 1 hour light.
PERATION RS232 Output An RS232 port is available on the SUPER-NUOVA Multi- Place to output elapsed time, speed, and temperature data. The data is printed once every second when the unit is pow- ered on (displays on). A comma separates each piece of data so that it may easily be imported into a spreadsheet as CSV (Comma Separated Values).
PERATION Using HyperTerminal w/RS232 With HyperTerminal you can store the RS232 output data of a SUPER-NUOVA Multi-Place on a PC. NOTE: Other terminal programs that capture RS232 data can be used as well. In order to follow this procedure, you must have: •...
PERATION Select FILE, SAVE AS, and save this setup wherever you would like it to be located (if you would like it on the Desktop, select Desktop) and select SAVE. You will be able to run HyperTerminal with this setup in the future by just double-clicking the icon if you put it on the Desktop.
Service and Calibration Service Menu The Service Menu has many features that will allow a user to customize their unit. A table of the features available in the Service Menu is given below. The features are given in order of their appearance in the Service Menu when rotating the center knob in a clockwise rotation.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION Over-temperature Set Point - Note For most routines, the POWER key This option is only available for units that have heating can be used to return to a previous functionality. The Over-temperature Set Point is the set menu if desired.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION Temperature Probe Calibration - CAL This section applies only to the calibration of the temperature probe system. The hot plate surface and the motor speed cannot be calibrated. This method is only applicable to units that have heating functionality. There are two types of calibration available.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION Oil Bath Method of Calibration With the probe connected to the unit, insert the probe connected to the unit to be calibrated into a bath that has stabilized at the desired calibra- tion temperature. Allow sufficient time for the probe to stabilize.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION System Method of Calibration Select an independent temperature probe to be placed in the load, along with the unit tempera- ture probe before continuing with calibration. Select the load to be calibrated, and place on top of the hot plate. Place a stir bar in the mix- ture if stirring is desired and available on the unit being calibrated.

ERVICE AND ALIBRATION If the unit undergoing calibration does not have stirring capability then skip to the next step. The SET indicator under the STIR display will be lit, and the displays will show the stirring control set point. The speed may be adjusted by using the center knob.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION Thermometer Mode - Prb This option is only available for units with heating function- ality. The Thermometer Mode can be used to display tem- perature using the probe without the heating control on. Stirring can also be independently used if desired . NOTE: Heating will suspend while in thermometer mode.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION To modify/view the Timer Shutdown follow the instructions given below: Plug the unit into the appropriate power, but do not turn it ON (displays should be blank, unless Hot Top Warning System is indicating a hot sur- face), enter the Service Menu by pressing and holding the POWER key.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION Rotate the center knob until the display reads PL. Press the SET key under the HEAT display to accept, and the display will change to 250 (250°C limit), or UL (unlimited). Rotate the cen- ter knob to change the display to the method of choice and press the SET key under the HEAT display again.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION Set Point Limit - SL This feature is available for units with heating functionali- ty. The purpose of this feature is to select whether the maximum set point will be limited based on the Over-tem- perature Set Point (OSP), or unlimited (UL). If it is limited by OSP then the maximum set point that can be chosen will be based on the setting of the OTP control on the front edge of the unit.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION To modify/view the Error Disable menu follow the instruc- tions given below: Plug the unit into the appropriate power, but do not turn it on (displays should be blank, unless Hot Top Warning System is indicating a hot sur- face), enter the Service Menu by pressing and holding the POWER key.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION a single beep will be heard and you may remove your finger from the POWER key. The display will change to OSP. Rotate the center knob until the display reads dEF. Press either SET key to accept, and the display will change to no.
ERVICE AND ALIBRATION Flash Upgrade - FLS This feature is available for all units and is designed to allow a firmware upgrade via RS232 port to be applied without exchanging controls. NOTE: Special software and an RS232 cable are required to complete this proce- dure.
