The easy to use and easy to read front panel includes two intuitive dial knobs to navigate the settings and menu options. The LCD always displays temperature, speed, and timer information for convenient monitoring.
The low-profile design occupies minimal bench space, and fits into fume hoods. The rear housing of the hot plate features an off-centered, built-in support rod holder with locking knob and accepts support rods up to 13 mm (0.5") in diameter.
Hotplates are available with ceramic top plate material providing a white reflective surface that is chemical resistant and easy to clean.
Hot plates are equipped with a variety of innovative safety features designed to facilitate efficient operation and workplace safety: Unit housing is constructed from a heat and chemical-resistant polymer that remains cool to the touch throughout use. The spill-resistant housing channels fluids away from internal components in the event of a spill. A maximum temperature limiting function ensures the plate temperature will not exceed preset limits, allowing for control of sensitive flash points. A large 13 mm, hot top warning light is illuminated when the heat is turned on, this remains lit until the top plate is below 40 °C. In timed mode, an alarm will sound when time reaches zero, or when the unit reaches set point temperature. In the event that the probe disengages from the sample, the heater will automatically shut off. Enhanced software for heat monitoring with an early detection system utilizing two independent safety controls to continuously monitor the electronics and shuts off heating before an over temperature condition occurs.
Temperature calibration feature ensures greater accuracy of the sample or top plate temperature.
A timer displays elapsed time or a user-defined limit, and will shut off the unit when time reaches zero. The last used settings will be displayed, even after the power has been shut off. Enhanced electronics regulate the heating and will bring samples to the desired temperature quickly and efficiently. All professional models come with an RTD probe, which ensures precise temperature control of the sample.
Certifications: RoHS certified. TUV listed. CE marked. Calibrated Hotplates include a Troemner ISO/IEC Accredited Calibration Certificate traceable to NIST. The ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Certificate includes multiple data points within temperature, speed, and time function with the associated uncertainties. Troemner is accredited by NVLAP under Laboratory Code 105013-0 to perform ISO/IEC 17025 calibrations.
