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).

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.
