1. INTRODUCTION.
1.1. The Bibby Scientific MC810B Digital Controller provides a convenient means of
temperature control, using microprocessor techniques to give ease of operation and
good accuracy. It can be used either in ON/OFF mode with the hysteresis loop
controlling power switching or it can be used as a PID (Proportional, Integrated,
Derivative) controller. Alternatively it may be used simply as a temperature
measuring device.
1.2. Temperature sensing is performed by a plug-in platinum resistance probe. The
sample temperature is displayed on the LED display. This product is suitable for
bench and retort stand mounting or wall mounting using the bracket and screws
provided.
1.3. The MC810B has a short mains output lead with an IEC socket to connect it to the
resistive load. An accessory extension mains lead is available where remote
operation is required (e.g. in a fume extraction unit).
1.4. The MC810B controller must be used in conjunction with a suitable heating or
cooling device e.g. mantle, electric Bunsen or hotplate. For cooling applications
please contact your distributor / suppler or contact Bibby Scientific at the address in
section 10. Customer Support.

implosion or the release of toxic or flammable gases) that might
arise have been suitably addressed before proceeding. When
heating certain substances the liberation of hazardous gases may
require the use of a fume cupboard or other means of extraction.
Ensure equipment is used on a clean, dry, non-combustible, solid
work surface with at least 300mm suitable clearance all around
from other equipment.
position the product so that it is difficult to disconnect from
the mains supply.
immerse unit in water or fluids.
spill substances onto this unit. If spillage does occur,
disconnect unit from mains supply and follow instructions as
detailed in Section ‘Maintenance’.

5. INSTALLATION.
5.1. Electrical safety and Installation.
5.2. This equipment is designed for safe operation under the following conditions:-
• Indoor use.
• Altitude up to 2000 meters.
• Temperatures between -10°C and +50°C.
• Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C decreasing
linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
• Mains supply voltage fluctuations up to ± 10% of the nominal voltage.
• Transient overvoltages typically present on the mains supply. (Overvoltage
category II).
