WHEN YOU SWITCH ON
When you first switch on, the display will show the edition of the software
which your unit uses. For example software issue "3.13" would be shown
as follows:
It will display this for 1 second, then the actual temperature of the block will
be indicated.
The Front Panel Controls
The front panel controls consist of three buttons for controlling the display, a
five digit LED display and three indicators.
The SET temperature Button
The SET temperature button displays the set temperature when pressed.
The UP ARROW Button
When the SET temperature button is held down and the UP ARROW button
is pressed, the set temperature is increased.

Set
The DOWN ARROW Button
When the SET temperature button is held down and the DOWN ARROW
button is pressed, the set temperature is decreased.
Speed of Change of Set Temperature
Each press of the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW buttons will increase or
decrease the set temperature by 0.1°C. If the buttons are held down the
temperature change will accelerate to 5° per second
Power Indicator
The top indicator shows that there is power to the unit
Power to the Block Indicator
The next indicator shows when there is power to the block.
When the set temperature is different to the block temperature this indicator
will light. If the light is on continuously the block is getting constant power.
The only exception is described under Over-Temperature Indicator. As the
temperature approaches the set temperature the indicator will flash. When
set temperature is reached the indicator will stay on for shorter periods.
Sensor fault Indicator
If there should, for any reason, be a sensor fault, the bottom indicator will
light. The power to the block will have been switched off and the unit will
begin to return to ambient even if the power light is on (the light staying on or
not depends on which circuit has sensed a fault).

Setting the units for temperature
The unit will normally be set to display in °C, if you require it to work and
display in °F press both the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons at the
same time. To convert back, press both buttons again.
Setting the Operating Temperature
1. To display the set temperature on the digital display, press and hold
the SET Temperature button.
To adjust the set temperature, press the SET Temperature button and
hold it while pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. When the SET
Temperature button is released, the measured temperature is
displayed (in degrees Celsius).
2. Power is switched on to the block (and the indicator comes on) if the
set temperature is higher or lower than the block temperature.
3. When the measured temperature approaches the set temperature, the
"power to the block" indicator will begin to flash. As the measured
temperature stabilises the indicator will stay on for shorter periods.
4. There will be a time-lag between the block and the insert achieving the
set temperature due to thermal contact between them. The display
may reach temperature in 2 or 3 minutes while the insert may take 5
minutes or more to reach temperature.
After Use
1. When you have finished heating samples, remember that parts of the
unit – inserts and associated accessories – may be very hot. Take the
precautions listed earlier. We recommend that the inserts should be
allowed to cool to 70°C before being removed from the Tecal unit.
They will still have to be handled with care
2. If you need to remove an insert while it is hot, fit the extractor tool into
the locating holes and lift the insert out carefully. Never leave the
extractor tool in the insert while it is being used in the Tecal unit.
Overtemperature cut-out
The unit is fitted with an overtemperature cut-out. It will operate if a fault
develops and the unit exceeds its maximum operating temperature. The cut-
out will remove power to the heaters or peltiers and return the unit to
ambient temperature.
If the cut-out trips, the unit needs to be turned off and then turned on again
to reset it.
If the unit is switched off and then switched on again quickly this may cause
the overtemperature cut-out to trip. If this occurs, turn the unit off, wait 5
seconds or more then switch it on again.
Repeated tripping of the cut-out may indicate a fault and you should contact
your supplier for more information

RS232 SERIAL INTERFACE (where applicable)
The calibrator may send data logging information to an PC or compatible
computer by connecting the unit and the PC via an RS232 cable, and
installing the "Calsoft" software, available free of charge from our web-site.
Ensure that there is a connection made before the calibrator is
switched on.
The RS232 cable must be fitted to both the unit and the PC before either unit
is powered up, otherwise, data integrity cannot be guaranteed. Once the
cable is fitted, it does not matter which unit is powered up first.

It features fast heat up times, with accuracy and repeatability. Applications Before using the Tecal, make sure you have read this manual carefully. If you have any queries, contact your supplier. The Tecal unit can calibrate temperature probes without the need to return them to a specialist laboratory. To ensure accuracy the unit must be operated in an environment with a stable ambient temperature. The thermal sensors are placed in a well in the temperature controlled block. A number of inserts with different dimension wells are available to match standard probe sizes: these are detailed towards the back of this manual. Maintaining a set temperature The required temperature is set on the calibrator and the operation of the probe is checked. ukAS certificate can be provided, contact your dealer for details. Warning HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: they can cause serious burns to operators and ignite combustible material. Techne have taken great care in the design of these units to protect operators from hazards, but operators should pay attention to the following points: • • • • • • • PAGE 8 USE CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PROTECT HANDS; DO NOT put hot objects on or near combustible objects; DO NOT operate the unit close to inflammable liquids or gases; DO NOT place any liquid directly in your Tecal unit; DO NOT place the unit into its carrying case if the block temperature exceeds 50°C; If you are using a cooling probe, make sure that water is flowing through the cooling probe BEFORE inserting the probe into the block; At all times USE COMMON SENSE.

For example software issue "3.13" would be shown as follows: ∇ Set ∇ It will display this for 1 second, then the actual temperature of the block will be indicated. The Front Panel Controls The front panel controls consist of three buttons for controlling the display, a five digit LED display and three indicators. The SET temperature Button ∇ ∇ ∇ Set ∇ The SET temperature button displays the set temperature when pressed. The UP ARROW Button Set When the SET temperature button is held down and the UP ARROW button is pressed, the set temperature is increased. PAGE 13 T e c a l 1 4 0 F, T e c a l 4 2 5 F a n d T e c a l 6 5 0 F O P E R A T O R ’ S M A N U A L The DOWN ARROW Button ∇ Set ∇ When the SET temperature button is held down and the DOWN ARROW button is pressed, the set temperature is decreased. Speed of Change of Set Temperature Each press of the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW buttons will increase or decrease the set temperature by 0.1°C. If the buttons are held down the temperature change will accelerate to 5° per second Power Indicator The top indicator shows that there is power to the unit Power to the Block Indicator The next indicator shows when there is power to the block. When the set temperature is different to the block temperature this indicator will light. If the light is on continuously the block is getting constant power. The only exception is described under Over-Temperature Indicator. As the temperature approaches the set temperature the indicator will flash. When set temperature is reached the indicator will stay on for shorter periods. Sensor fault Indicator If there should, for any reason, be a sensor fault, the bottom indicator will light. The power to the block will have been switched off and the unit will begin to return to ambient even if the power light is on (the light staying on or not depends on which circuit has sensed a fault). PAGE 14 T e c a l 1 4 0 F, T e c a l 4 2 5 F a n d T e c a l 6 5 0 F O P E R A T O R ’ S M A N U A L Setting the units for temperature The unit will normally be set to display in °C, if you require it to work and display in °F press both the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons at the same time. To convert back, press both buttons again. Setting the Operating Temperature 1. 2. 3. 4. To display the set temperature on the digital display, press and hold the SET Temperature button. To adjust the set temperature, press the SET Temperature button and hold it while pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. When the SET Temperature button is released, the measured temperature is displayed (in degrees Celsius). Power is switched on to the block (and the indicator comes on) if the set temperature is higher or lower than the block temperature. When the measured temperature approaches the set temperature, the "power to the block" indicator will begin to flash. As the measured temperature stabilises the indicator will stay on for shorter periods. There will be a time-lag between the block and the insert achieving the set temperature due to thermal contact between them. The display may reach temperature in 2 or 3 minutes while the insert may take 5 minutes or more to reach temperature. After Use 1. 2. When you have finished heating samples, remember that parts of the unit – inserts and associated accessories – may be very hot. Take the precautions listed earlier. We recommend that the inserts should be allowed to cool to 70°C before being removed from the Tecal unit. They will still have to be handled with care If you need to remove an insert while it is hot, fit the extractor tool into the locating holes and lift the insert out carefully. Never leave the extractor tool in the insert while it is being used in the Tecal unit. Overtemperature cut-out The unit is fitted with an overtemperature cut-out. It will operate if a fault develops and the unit exceeds its maximum operating temperature. The cutout will remove power to the heaters or peltiers and return the unit to ambient temperature. If the cut-out trips, the unit needs to be turned off and then turned on again to reset it. If the unit is switched off and then switched on again quickly this may cause the overtemperature cut-out to trip. If this occurs, turn the unit off, wait 5 seconds or more then switch it on again. Repeated tripping of the cut-out may indicate a fault and you should contact your supplier for more information PAGE 15 T e c a l 1 4 0 F, T e c a l 4 2 5 F a n d T e c a l 6 5 0 F O P E R A T O R ’ S M A N U A L RS232 SERIAL INTERFACE (where applicable) The calibrator may send data logging information to an PC or compatible computer by connecting the unit and the PC via an RS232 cable, and installing the "Calsoft" software, available free of charge from our web-site. Ensure that there is a connection made before the calibrator is switched on. The RS232 cable must be fitted to both the unit and the PC before either unit is powered up, otherwise, data integrity cannot be guaranteed. Once the cable is fitted, it does not matter which unit is powered up first.

NOTE THAT THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD ONLY BE DISMANTLED BY PROPERLY TRAINED PERSONNEL. REMOVING THE OUTER COVERS OR BASE EXPOSES POTENTIALLY LETHAL MAINS VOLTAGES. THERE ARE NO OPERATOR SERVICEABLE PARTS WITHIN THE EQUIPMENT. General advice In the unlikely event that you experience any problems with your Tecal which cannot be easily remedied, you should contact your supplier and return the unit if necessary. Please include any details of the fault observed and remember to return the unit in its original packing. The insert must be removed from the unit and packed separately within the case. Techne accept no responsibility for damage to units which are not properly packed for shipping: if in doubt, contact your supplier. General fault finding HELP display If HELP is displayed there is a problem with the internal sensing device. The calibrator should be returned to your supplier for repair. Over-temperature Cut-out If the over-temperature cut-out trips it can be reset by switching the unit off, waiting a few seconds,then switing it on again. If it repeatedly trips, please contact your local supplier. Cleaning your Tecal unit Before cleaning your unit, disconnect from the power supply and allow to cool to ambient temperature. You can clean the case of the Tecal with a cloth dipped in water or ethanol (methanol can also be used). No part of the case or cover should be immersed in the solvents. Do not use acetone or abrasive cleaners. Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended in this manual, the responsible body should check with Techne that the proposed method will not damage the equipment. Fuses If neither the power light nor display (on the front panel) is lit, one of the two fuses may have blown. Make sure there is no external cause (such as a faulty plug or lead). Fuses should only be changed by suitably qualified personnel. If the fuses blow persistently, a serious fault is indicated and you should return the calibrator to your supplier for repair. Never fit a fuse rated higher than the value indicated on the unit, serious damage or personal injury may result.
