5. Trial Run

•
Make sure the required operating voltage and the power supply voltage match.
•
Ensure the socket is properly earthed.
•
Ensure the power is OFF.
•
Pour the liquid to be heated in a vessel; if a stirring mantle is going to be used put a magnetic stirring rod inside the
vessel.
•
Put the vessel on the working space.
•
Plug in the power cable and ensure the power is ON.
•
Set the desired temperature; the equipment will start working.
•
Observe the real temperature.
•
In the models with stirring (HM02 series), select the stirring speed.
•
Check the stirring rod.
•
Stop the heating and stirring functions and power OFF the equipment.
If the operations above cause no abnormalities, the device is ready to operate. Otherwise, the device may have been damaged
during transportation. In that case, please contact your supplier.
6. Operation
6.1 Heating Mantle, HM01 series
•
Put the heating mantle on top of a horizontal, flat, and stable table leaving at least 30 free cm on each side. Do not
place it near any heat source.
•
Plug the equipment into a power source; the red pilot (1) will light up showing that it is connected to the power and
will stay lit whenever the equipment is connected to a power source.
•
Turn the temperature knob (2) clockwise until you hear a "click"; this shows the heating mantle is ON. To adjust the
temperature, keep turning the knob clockwise.
•
Green pilot (3) – Working – shows the temperature variation. Thus, the more intense the light is, the higher the
temperature of the sample is.
•
Placing the thermometer: Assemble the two parts of the rod and insert the rod in its support at the back side of the
equipment. Once the rod is placed, place the bosshead at the desired height, hold it with the screw and place the
thermometer clamp.
6.2 Heating Mantle with stirring, HM02 series
•
Put the heating mantle on top of a horizontal, flat, and stable table leaving at least 30 free cm on each side. Do not
place it near any heat source.
•
Connect the equipment to a power source.
•
Turn the Heat Knob (1) clockwise until you hear a "click"; this shows the heating mantle is ON. The corresponding
indicator will light up (2). To adjust the temperature, keep turning the knob clockwise towards the desired
temperature.
Note:
• The power used must match the machine's requirements.
• Make sure the power line is at a safety distance from
the heating mantel.
• In case of any fault, cut off the electricity first.
