Specifications

To obtain an accurate reading when you are
using the probe and stirring your solution,
make sure the probe is immersed in the liquid
and is not located in air in the center of the
stirring vortex.
Using the Probe with the
Temperature Display for
Stirring-only Applications
On the stirring hot plate model, the probe can
also be utilized to monitor the actual tempera-
ture of your solution when you want to stir the
solution without heating. To use the probe
without heating the solution, turn the knob
until the display indicates OFF and press the
knob to initiate operation. The element will not
supply heat to the hot plate. The display will
indicate LO if your solution temperature
remains at less than 40°C, or the actual tem-
perature of your solution if it is above 40°C.
To Achieve Fast Heat-up of
Large Volumes
With a Probe
When heating large volumes of solution, pre-
heat the top plate at maximum temperature to
allow the plate to heat the solution quickly
before plugging your probe into the probe
receptacle in the back of the unit. As the top
plate heats, monitor your solution temperature
with a standard laboratory thermometer until
your solution is approximately 15° below your
17
