4 Quick Start Caution: READ SECTION 6 TITLED BA TH USE befor e placing the bath in service. Incorr ect handling can dama ge the bath and void the warranty .
Set up of the bath requires careful unpacking and placement of t he bath, install - ing the drain v alve, f illing the bath with fluid, and connecting po wer . Consult Section 5 for detailed instru ctions for prop er installation of the bath. Be su re to place the bath in a safe, clean and le vel location.
When “SET” is pressed the displ ay shows the set-point memory that is cur - rently being used and its value. Eight set-point memories are av ailable. S Access set-point selection 1. 25.0 Set-point 1, 25.0°C currently used Press “SET” to select this memory and access the set-point va lue.

tion. The fluid in the bath allows different types of probes to be calibrated at the same time. Howe v er , stem ef fect from different types of probes is not to - tally elimi nated. Even t hough all baths ha ve hori zontal and v ertical gradients, these gradients are minimized inside the b ath work area.
7 P arts and Controls 7.1 Control P anel The follo wing controls and indicators are present on the cont roller front panel (see Figure 2 belo w): (1) the digital LED display , (2) the control buttons, (3) the on/of f po wer switch, (4) the heat er mode light, and (5) the cooling on/of f switch.
4) The heater mode is a red light emitting diode (LED). This indicator lets the user visually see the ratio of heating to cooling. When the indicator is lit the heater is on, and when it is off the heater is off and the bath is cooling. 5) The cooling switch turns on the refrigeration for control belo w 50°C and rapid cool down.
1) The system fuses are 20 amp SB, 250V for 115 V A C operation and 10 amp ST , 250 V for 230 V A C operation. 2) The power cord is rated at 115 V A C, 20 amps. (230 V A C, 10 amps op- tional.) 3) A drain plug is provided for ease of removing the fluid media from the bath.
8 General Operation 8.1 Bath Fluid Many fl uids work wit h the CTR –80 bath. Choosi ng a fluid requires consi der - ation of many important characteristics of the fluid. Among these are tempera - ture range, viscosity , specif ic heat, thermal conducti vity , thermal expansion, electrical resisti vity , fluid lifetime, safety , and cost.
8.1.4 Thermal Conductivity Thermal conducti vity measures ho w easily heat flo ws through the fluid. Ther - mal conducti vity of the fluid af fects the control stability , temperature unifor - mity , and probe temperature settling time. Fluids with higher conducti vity distrib ute heat more quickl y and ev enly impro ving bath performance.
flash point is t he temperature at which t here is suf fic ient v apor gi ve n off so that when there is suf ficient oxygen present and a ignition source is applied t he va - por will ignite. This does not necessarily mean that f ire will be sustained at the flash point.
8.1.10.3 Mineral Oil Mineral oil or paraf fin oil is often used at moderate temperatures abo ve the range of water . Mineral oil is relativ ely inexpensiv e. At lower temperatures mineral oil is quite viscous and control may be poor . At higher temperatures vapor emi ssion becomes signifi cant.
8.1.11.1 Limitations and Disclaimer The information gi v en in this manual re garding fl uids is intended onl y to be used as a general guide in choosi ng a fluid. Though e very e ffort has been made to provide correct information we cannot guarantee accurac y of data or assure suitability of a flu id for a particular ap plication.
policies re garding flash poi nts, toxicity , and such issues must be considered. Y ou are responsible for reading the (material safety data sheet s) and acting accordingly . 8.2 Stirring Stirring of the bath fluid is very important for stable temperature control.
8.5.1 Operation The bath controller a utomatically swit ches off cooling when the bath i s oper - ated abov e 50°C to protect the system fro m extreme pressures.
The bath is operable within the temperature range gi v en in the specif ications. For protection against solid-state relay failure or o ther circuit failure, a thermo - couple cutout automaticall y turns off the heater an ytime the bath temperature exceeds the maximum temperature.

down. In this way the temperature is maintained at a fairly constant temperature. The temperature stability of the bath and response time depend on the width of the proportional band. If the band is too wide the temperat ure will de viate e x - cessi vely from the set-point due to v arying e xternal conditions.
9.7 Cutout As a protection against software or hardware f ault or user error , the bath is equipped with an adjustable cut out de vice that shuts of f po wer to the heat er if the temperature exceeds a set v alue. This p rotects the instrument, probes, and fluid from excessi ve temperatures.
9.8 Controller Configuration The controller has a number of conf iguration and operati ng options and calibra - tion parameters which are programmable via the front panel. These are ac - cessed from the secondary menu after the proportional band functi on by pressing “SET”.
