Operation Probe Well: The CL900A allows for different probe well insert options, whereas the CL950A comes with a fixed probe well which accepts 4 different probe diameters. The probe well in both units is chassis grounded. It is critical that a power outlet with a grounding lug be used.
Operation Back Panel Connections FINGER GUARD THERMAL RESET SWITCH VENT AC MAIN POWER INLET RS232 PORT AND FUSE COMPARTMENT Figure 7. Back Panel AC Power Input: The customer connects the power cord to the AC Power Input. Refer to Section 4.3 for information on fuse replacement.
Operation Changing the Temperature Setpoint The layout of the front panel is shown in Figure 2. The CL900A/CCL950A incorporates a PID digital setpoint controller. The setpoint variable (SV) is changed by holding in either the key or the key. The setpoint variable will change at 3 different rates depending on how long a key is being pressed.
Operation Changing the controller’s parameter settings: 1. Press the key to enter the programming mode. The lower display will alternately display the menu level and “Ac.Cd.” 2. Use the keys to change to the desired menu level. 3. Once you have chosen the desired menu use the key to scroll through the parameters.
Operation CAUTION: • Remove all electrical connections and power before attempting any maintenance. • Never attempt to remove or insert a probe well insert while the probe well is still hot. 1. Pull the probe well insert release pin from the key ring loop, allowing the well insert clearance for removal.
Operation CAUTION: Never disconnect the power cord while the fan is still cooling down. A safety hazard may result and the unit may get damaged. 3.8 Overheat Reset Switch In the event one or both of the fans fail and the temperature inside the unit raise to an unacceptable level, a thermal cutoff switch will disconnect the heater power.
Maintenance Section 4 - Maintenance Calibration This unit has been fine tuned at the factory and calibrated to give optimum performance of its full temperature range. It is recommended that the unit be returned annually for re-calibration. Cleaning CAUTION: Remove all electrical connections and power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. 4.2.1 Main Body Only a damp soft rag with a mild cleaning solution should be used when...
RS232 Communication Section 5 - RS232 Communication This method allows bi-directional data transfer via a three conductor cable consisting of signal ground, receive input, and transmit output. It is recommended that less than fifty feet of cable be used between the computer and this instrument.
Troubleshooting Guide Section 7 - Troubleshooting Guide Problem Solution 1. Unit will not turn on. a. Check all electrical connections. b. Check rear panel fuses. c. Unit requires service, contact our customer service department. 2. Unit turns on but the probe a.
