GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
C9800 Reactor is a Hanna Instruments thermo-reactor
with a metal dry-block and a metal case construction.
It allows to warm up to 25 samples, contained into 16
mm-diameter tubes, at 105 or 150 ºC.
The reactor is equipped with led indicators, to inform when
power is on and heating is operating, and a 120 minutes
timer, very useful in timed digestion procedures.
It is possible to select time intervals between 0 and 120
minutes and, during these intervals, temperature in the
heater is maintained constant. At the end of the selected
interval an acoustic alarm will sound and the heater will
automatically shut off.
The reactor is also provided with a thermal fuse that
prevents from overheating, by shutting down the heater.
Two models are available:
C9800-01 runs with 115 VAC mains line
C9800-02 runs with 230 VAC mains line.
HEALTH & SAFETYHEALTH & SAFETY
HEALTH & SAFETY
HEALTH & SAFETYHEALTH & SAFETY
Before unpacking, setting up or start using this reactor it is
important to read carefully this manual. Pay particular
attention to all warnings, cautions and notes. Failure to do
so could result in serious injury to the operator or damage
to the equipment.
To ensure a safety use of this instrument, it must not be
installed or used in any manner other than that specified
in this manual.
Reactor Operation: The Reactor incubates glass
vials containing hazardous chemicals at high temperature. Read the Health & Safety Data Sheet
(HSDS) before handling reagent vials.
Handling Reagent Vials: Handle the vials very carefully
and wear protective clothing. After use, dispose of the
reagent vials according to local regulations.
Safety Equipment: When operating with Reactor use
protective clothing, including goggles or face mask, and
gloves.
Use of the optional safety shield is highly recommended.
Reagent Spills: Wipe up spilled reagents immediately. If
reagent contacts skin, rinse the affected area thoroughly
with water. Avoid breathing released vapors. Read the
Health & Safety Data Sheet (HSDS) of each reagent for
complete chemical information.
Fire Hazard: Avoid the presence of flammable liquids or
paper near the operating Reactor. A fire hazard could be
created.

OPERATINGOPERATING
OPERATING
OPERATINGOPERATING
Set the power switch (back of the instrument) to ON
position. The power indicator will light. Set the temperature switch to 105 or 150 ºC (according to the procedure
described in the manual of the specific parameter).
Position the timer to the ∞ position by turning the knob
anticlock-wise to allow the heater to operate; the heating
indicator will light. Allow the heater block to warm up for
approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on the set temperature. During this period the heating indicator will
remain ON.
When the heating indicator cycles ON and OFF, it means
that the heater has reached the set temperature and is
maintaining it constant.
At this moment it is possible to start a timed procedure
and select the time interval requested by the specific
parameter digestion procedure by turning the knob clockwise. During this procedure the heating indicator will cycle
ON and OFF.
Attention: to assure a correct digestion it is important to
start the timed procedure as soon as the heater is stabilized at the selected temperature (that is when the
heating indicator starts to cycle ON and OFF).
Notes:
• Use of the optional safety shield is strongly recommended to protect the operator from splattering reagents
in case of a vial should break.
• Do not place the Reactor near heating or cooling source.
Temperature stability could be affected.
• The set temperature is that typically expected into the
tubes. The temperature of the metallic block is a few
degrees higher than the set value, in order to allow the
heat transmission from the block to the liquid inside the
tubes.
• During operation, the block temperature will be slightly
different for block empty or full of vials. If cold tubes are
placed in the block, the temperature will decrease of
several degrees and a few minutes will be required to
recover as the tubes warm.
• An external stainless steel probe thermometer can be
used for a check of the block temperature, simply by
placing it into the appropriate receptacle.
MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE
The instrument should be kept clean and any reagent spill
should be wiped up immediately.
Do not touch the heater block unless you are
certain it has cooled.
If some reagent accidentally spills into the heater
block, disconnect power and allow the instrument
to cool; then remove all tubes and clean the
block.
Should overheating occurs, the reactor automatically shuts down. Both LED indicators turn off.
Contact your dealer or your nearest Hanna Service
Center for maintenance.
Fuse replacement
Replace fuse only with fuse of specified type and
current rating.
• Turn the instrument off before removing the fuse holder.
• Unscrew the fuse holder by rotating it counterclockwise.
• Replace the fuse with one 4A fuse for 115-volt model
or one 2A fuse for 230-volt model.
• Replace the holder before turning the instrument on.
