1. INTRODUCTION
The MH8517 Parafn section mounting bath is designed for use as a heated, distilled
water oating out bath for the manipulation and location of parafn wax sections onto
glass slides.
The black PTFE coated interior gives a high contrast background for locating specimens.
The MH8517 Parafn bath uses an electronic temperature controller with thermocouple
sensor feedback designed to supply power to a silicon rubber mat heater in order
to maintain accurate water temperatures. A self resetting over temperature cut out
device is tted as an integral part of the heater mat in order to protect against any over
temperature conditions.
This product is supplied with an IEC moulded cord and lead set for ease of operation
and the IEC socket houses protection fuses for both the live and neutral power supply
lines. A White neon indicates the presence of power while the Amber neon indicates
when the heater is in an ‘on’ state.
