1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Your Digi-Mantle has been designed to provide a comprehensive answer to heating and
stirring fluids in various vessel formats. This product is modular in design allowing for
complete interchange ability between mantles of various sizes. With its ‘easy to read / easy
to operate’ revolutionary CTC (Capacitance Touch Control) panel, setting the required
temperature and stir speed takes only seconds.
1.2. Heating is controlled by a modern ‘state of the art’ micro processor, which displays the
heat setting as a percentage of the total power. When the temperature probe is fitted, the
heating is controlled via the temperature feed back circuit and the actual temperature is
displayed. All new dry blocks come with an inbuilt temperature sensor. This allows the true
block temperature to be viewed at all times. When using a probe and dry block with in built
sensor, the temperature displayed is that as measured by the probe.
1.3. An ‘all new’ digital controller and motor arrangement allow for accurate, low speed stirring
control. Uniform stirring is provided via a motorised rotating magnet assembly positioned to
provide maximum magnetic flux linkage to rotate the stirrer bars in each reaction vessel.

equipment. Give due recognition to your company’s safety and
legislative health & safety procedures and all associated legislation
applicable to your areas of operation. Check laboratory procedures
for substances being heated and ensure all hazards (e.g. explosion,
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.

spill substances onto the mantle. If spillage does occur,
disconnect unit from mains supply and follow instructions as
detailed in Section ‘Maintenance’.
cover the mantle whilst in use.
leave equipment switched on without a charged flask(s).
install or remove the mantle from the control unit whilst
power is applied to the controller.
thermally insulate the exposed upper section of the

5. INSTALLATION.
5.1. Electrical safety and installation.
5.1.1. This equipment is designed for safe use under the following conditions:-
• Indoor use.
• Altitude up to 2000 meters.
• Temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.
• Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C decreasing
linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
• Mains input supply voltage fluctuations up to ± 10% of the nominal voltage.
• Transient over-voltages typically present on the mains supply.
• Applicable rated pollution degree 2.
5.1.2.
This equipment must be earthed / grounded to a fixed earth / grounded mains
socket outlet. The mains supply is to be earthed / grounded in accordance with
current legislation.
5.1.3. Ensure only the correct rated mains input fuses are fitted. (Where applicable
ensure the correct Mains cord and moulded IEC plug and lead set cable fuse if fitted).
See Technical Information Section 8 of this document.
5.1.4. Check the input voltage on the product data label of each Digi-Mantle item. Ensure
the rating conforms to your local supply.
5.1.5. This product should be connected to a mains supply source which incorporates an
RCD or GFCI device that has a tripping current of 30mA or less. The RCD or GFCI
residual Current Device cuts off power to the equipment immediately it detects a
current leakage fault. For example, cutting off the power when there is an accidental
liquid spillage in a mantle protected with an earth (ground) screen.
5.1.6. The unit is supplied with a Mains cord and moulded plug set cable wired as follows.
Green / Yellow
or
Green
Earth / Ground
When using with a new mantle:
Observation: the surface of the heating element of a mantle cartridge will upon receipt look
slightly discoloured. This discolouration is normal and occurs at the factory during testing
when the mantle is first heated up.

If during use the external probe becomes detached from the Digi-Mantle the following
error message will be displayed (See figure 7-29).
Figure 7-29.
The unit will ‘beep’ rapidly for 10 seconds.
The heaters will be turned off.
If the unit was stirring a sample it will continue to do so.
The Warning will remain on the LCD until the > key is pressed.
The unit will return to the main display screen for use without the external probe
unless the connection is re-established. The heaters must then be turned back on
manually by pressing the key.
Page 18 of 28 Digi-Mantle M7754 issue 14.3
7.9.2. Warning – External probe plugged in but inadvertently left out of the sample.
When an external probe is plugged in and the heaters turned on your Digi-Mantle will
expect to see a rise in temperature of no less than 6°C within the first 10 minutes.
Should the external probe be accidentally left out of the sample solution the following
will be displayed (See Figure 7-30).
Figure 7-30.
The unit will ‘beep’ rapidly for 10 seconds.
The heaters will be turned off.
If the unit was stirring a sample it will continue to do so.
The Warning will remain on the LCD until the > key is pressed.
Rectify the fault
The unit will return to the main display screen for use without the external probe
unless the connection is re-established. The heaters must then be turned back on
manually by pressing the key.
7.9.3. Warning – Probe has fallen out of the sample
If during the heating cycle the external temperature probe falls out of the sample the
following condition will arise (See figure 7-31).
Figure 7-31.
Should the external probe fall of the sample the unit will see a decrease in
temperature. Once the probe temperature has dropped more than 6°C in 60 seconds
the heaters will be turned off.
The unit will ‘beep’ rapidly for 10 seconds.
If the unit was stirring a sample it will continue to do so.
The Warning will remain on the LCD until the > key is pressed.
Rectify the fault
The unit will return to the main display screen for use without the external probe
unless the connection is re-established. The heaters must then be turned back on
manually by pressing the key.
Page 19 of 28 Digi-Mantle M7754 issue 14.4
7.9.4. Warning – Heating module remover during operation.
If a Mantle is removed from the Digi-Mantle when the unit is powered up the Module
missing screen will be displayed (see Figure 7-6). Stirring and heating will stop.
This message will disappear when a Mantle is reinstated. The module type will be
displayed in the LCD. Press > key to return to the main display screen. Stirring and
Heating must then be manually turned back on.

9. MAINTENANCE
"DUE TO THE MASS OF THE CARTRIDGE, NEVER SHIP A UNIT WITH THE CARTRIDGE
IN PLACE ON THE DIGI-MANTLE. ALWAYS PACK THE CARTRIDGE AND DIGI-MANTLE
SEPARATELY BEFORE TRANSPORTATION. "
9.1. General Information.
Unplug the unit from the mains voltage supply and allow it to cool before
undertaking any maintenance tasks.
Maintenance should only be carried out under the direction of the Responsible Body,
by a competent electrician. Failure to do so may result in damage to the product and in
extreme cases be a danger to the end user.
With proper care in operation this equipment has been designed to give many years of
reliable service. Contamination or general misuse will reduce the effective life of this
product and may cause a hazard.
Maintenance for the unit should include:
• Periodic electrical safety testing (an annual test is recommended as the minimum
requirement).
• Regular inspection for damage with particular attention to the mains lead and plug
set.
