Introduction
Congratulations on your new Thermo Scientific Precision
Water Bath.
Precision Water Baths offer the versatility needed to han-
dle virtually any clinical laboratory procedure — incuba-
tion, inactivation, agglutination — as well as most serolog-
ical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and industrial proce-
dures.
These water baths are available with chamber capacities
of 2, 5, 10, 20, and 28 liters. The 2 liter unit is available
configured with either a standard or shallow chamber.
Also, a dual chamber unit is available with 5 and 10 liter
chambers, with independent controls for each. All units
are available to operate from either 120 or 230 volts.
The baths work equally well with water or bath oil as the
medium. All models offer the same temperature ranges:
ambient to 60°C without the supplied cover, and ambient
to 100°C with the cover in place (within physical limita-
tions).
These baths are microprocessor controlled for precise
temperatures and reliable, trouble-free operation. Dual
thermostats — one controlling the set point temperature
and the other operating as a safety — virtually eliminate
the possibility of overheating. Although not designed to
operate dry, the bath will not be damaged if it is allowed
to run dry.
An energy-saving removable cover helps to reduce evap-
oration while helping to maintain a uniform, constant tem-
perature. The cover also allows the water bath to reach
higher temperatures. The hinged, see-through gable
cover features unique "fins" that keep hands away from
hot vapors for easier, safer opening. The cover stays
open at the 90° position or, because of its quick-attach
hinge, can be lifted off completely to accommodate large
glassware.
A plastic rim remains cool to the touch even when operat-
ing the bath at maximum temperature.
The unit features a power-on self-test of vital circuitry.
This test will automatically be performed each time you
turn on the unit. If problems are detected, the system will
indicate a warning message on the display.
