The safety circuit prevents the temperature of the heating bath
from getting too high as a result of controller error. Once the
safety temperature has been reached, the device switches off permanently.
Furthermore, dry running of the heating bath is detected. The device switches off permanently.
The dry running function detects both accidental heating of the
heating bath without liquid and dry running caused by water
evaporation starting at a set temperature of 60 °C. The error message E 26 (Fig. 11) appears and the heating bath is switched off
permanently. To remedy this error, see “Error codes”.
Safety temperature
Unpacking
Commissioning
• Unpacking
- Unpack the device carefully,
- Any damage should be notified immediately to the shipping
agent (post, rail or logistics company).
• Scope of delivery
- Heating bath IKA HB eco
- Power supply cable
- USB cable
- Operating instructions
- Warranty card
Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) listed under “Technical data”.
The unit is ready for service when
the mains plug has been plugged
in.
Prior to commissioning the device, determine the filling quantity
of the tempering medium due to the used evaporator piston size
(approx. 2.5 l tempering medium by using a standard 1 l evaporator piston).
• Switch on the device using the mains switch (B).
• At every start, the display will show all display segments (Fig. 2),
the software version (Fig. 3), and the operating mode (Fig. 4).
• The heating bath temperature is held constant by the control
circuit and is additionally monitored by the safety circuit.
In the event of an error occurred in the control circuit, the heat-
ing bath is switched off permanently by the safety circuit.
An error in the control or safety circuits is shown on the display.
The heating function can no longer be started.
• When switching off the heating function and the medium tem-
perature is higher than 50 °C, the display will alternately show
the set temperature (Fig. 5) and “HOT” (Fig. 9). Otherwise, the
display will alternately show the set temperature (Fig. 5) and
OFF (Fig. 8).
When switching on the heating function, the display will alter-
nately show set temperature (Fig. 5) and the actual temperature
(Fig. 6 or Fig. 7).
Activate the SET function by turning and pressing the rotating/
pressing knob (C).
• Set the desired heating bath temperature by turning the rotating/pressing knob (C).
• The LED setpoint temperature (H) will be always on whenever
the set temperature is shown. (Fig. 5)
• Confirm the value by pressing the rotating/pressing knob (C).
• Start the heating process by pressing the rotating/pressing knob
(C).
Setting the target temperature
Operating mode A
• Switch on the device at the mains switch (B).
• The heating function is switched off.
• The target value is set to 20 °C.
• The target value can be adjusted.
• The heating function must be restarted following a power failure.
• Mode A appears on the display when switching on the device.
Factory setting: Mode A
Operating mode B
• Switch on the device at the mains switch (B).
• The heating function is switched off.
• The target value is set to 20 °C or the most recent set temperature.
• The target value can be adjusted.
•
The heating function must be restarted following a power failure.
• Mode B appears on the display when switching on the device.
Operating mode C
• Switch on the device at the mains switch (B).
• The heating function is switched on or off depending on the last
selected setting.
• The last target value set in mode B applies.
• The target value cannot be adjusted.
• The heating function will be automatically restarted following a
power failure.
• Mode C appears on the display when switching on the device.
Switching the operating modes
• Switch the device off at the mains switch (B).
• Press and hold rotating/pressing knob (C) and switch the device
on at the mains switch (B). Release the rotating/pressing knob
(C) after 2 seconds.
• Sequence A, B, C, A etc.
• The operating mode appears on the display when switching on
the device.
