6 Safety Information YAME0020 / 30.06.11
1 Safety information
1.1 General safety information
The PTT Peltier Thermostating Unit cools or heats tempering liquids and sample liquids. Hazards arise
from this due to high or low temperatures, fire and the general hazards due to the application of electrical energy.
The user is extensively protected by the application of the relevant standards. Further hazard sources
can arise from the type of material for which the temperature is to be stabilised, e.g. by exceeding or
undercutting certain temperature thresholds or with the fracture of the sample liquid container and reaction with the tempering liquid.
It is not feasible to include all possible situations. They remain essentially subject to the judgement and
responsibility of the operator.
The device may only be used as intended, that is as described in these operating instructions. This includes operation by instructed specialist personnel.
The device conforms to the EMC standard DIN EN 61326-1 Class A.
The device is not designed for use under medical conditions according to DIN EN 60601-1 or
IEC 601-1.
1.2 Additional safety information
Only connect the device to a mains socket having a safety earth conductor.
At higher operating temperatures parts of the beaker receptacle can take on surface temperatures
of over 70 °C. Be careful when touching the device. Danger of burns.
Withdraw the mains plug of the PTT unit before cleaning, servicing, or moving it.
Have repairs to the PTT carried out only by specialists.
Figures for temperature accuracy and display accuracy apply under normal conditions according to

3 Device description
3.1 Basic principles
3.2 Temperature display and control
The PTT Thermostating Unit facilitates the exact temperature stabilisation of small amounts of liquid up
to 60 ml from 5 °C to 80 °C.
The liquid can be stirred if required using an inserted magnetic stirring rod (included in the supplied
items).
For vibration-free measurement applications all electrical components (fans, magnetic stirrer, power
electronics for the thermostating unit) can be deactivated in the standby mode.
The PTT uses four Peltier elements spread uniformly around the circumference of the beaker. Heat is
supplied or extracted depending on the tempering situation. Ambient air enters the device through the
intake areas (ribbed regions at the front left and rear right), it circulates around the heat exchanger within the device and leaves the device through the side exit areas.
In order to ensure perfect air circulation neither the ventilation openings nor the exit areas should be restricted or covered.
The PTT is equipped with a protection system which safeguards the power electronics and Peltier elements from thermal overload.
A bimetallic switch fitted internally in the beaker receptacle provides additional protection from the container overheating above 90 °C.
Measurements and setting values as well as operating statuses are displayed on the front of the PTT
using a 3-figure 7-segment display
888. The entry of the set value and other settings occurs using the
button/rotary function of the control knob.
The Pt100 temperature sensor for the acquisition of the momentary sample temperature is connected
via the "Sensor" socket. A high resolving A/D converter processes the measurement. Further measurement processing occurs via a special control algorithm which implements the control of the Peltier electronic tempering system.
To measure the temperature of the samples reliably the Pt100 sensor must be immersed by at least
three millimetres in the sample liquid. With thermostating processes extended over a longer period the
reduction in level due to evaporation must be taken into account as necessary.
The liquid should be kept in motion by an inserted stirring rod in order to facilitate improved heat
transport and to ensure a uniform temperature throughout the whole liquid volume.

4 Installation and operation
4.1 Installation
1. Site the Peltier unit on a firm, uncluttered surface. Maintain at least 6 centimetres spacing on all
sides (air access).
2. With the switch set to the "0" position, connect the power supply unit to the electrical mains
network (100...240 V) and connect the plug securely to the Peltier device ("Power").
3. Connect the temperature sensor to the Peltier device ("Sensor").
4. Fill the thermostatic block with 6...6.5 ml of tempering liquid using the filling syringe.
The thermostatic block should be sufficiently filled,
but not overfilled. Too little tempering liquid reduces the
heat transport and can lead to the system switching to
EMERGENCY OFF.
The devices are rated for operation with non-
flammable and flammable liquids according to DIN EN
61010-2-010. Watch the filling level.
Generally, decalcified water is used as the temper-
ing liquid. Please ensure that the evaporation rate remains low, so that sufficient tempering liquid is always
available. Please note that with an unsuitable choice of
medium condensate interacts with the sample in your
beaker. Please ensure that your tempering liquid does
not interact with the thermostatic block (material: anodised aluminium).

5. Fill the beaker with at least 40 ml of sample liquid and put it in place.
The minimum filling amount is 40 ml. It is only then that the immersion depth required by the tem-
perature sensor is ensured.
6. Place the filled sample beaker in the thermostatic block.
When the beaker is inserted, the
tempering liquid rises up the outer
wall of the beaker. The highest possible filling level is desirable for the
best possible heat transfer.
4.3 Checking the filling level
7. Insert the temperature sensor; if required use the stirring rod and put the cover in place.
The temperature sensor should
be immersed in the sample by at
least 3 millimetres. When inserting
the beaker, the tempering liquid
level should ideally rise up to
about 8 millimetres above the
standing surface of the beaker.

8. The PTT is put into operation by actuating the switch ("On" = I). In the default setting the device
tempers the liquid to 25°C.
On starting, the device automatically carries out a self-test. All indicators on the front display
are activated for 2 seconds for checking purposes. The display indicates the current sample
temperature (LED "°C" is lit).
The set-point temperature is set by simply turning the control knob. The LED "" lights as long
as the figure for the set-point temperature is displayed.
Provided the user does not change the settings, the device operates with the standard values
T
SET
= 25 °C and = 0 (corresponds to deactivated stirrer). When working without a stirring rod,
the stirrer should remain deactivated. Stirrer activity is indicated by the flashing of the control
knob.
The device can be switched off a
t
any time by resetting the toggle switch.
Three seconds after entering a ne
w
set-point temperature, the current
sample temperature is automatically
displayed.
If an error code is indicated, please
refer to the appropriate section (
6.1).

4.3 Checking the filling level
The optimum amount of tempering liquid is
6.5 ml. With an insufficient filling level for the
tempering liquid it can be topped up even with
the beaker in place. To do this the required
amount of tempering liquid is introduced
through the filling hole using the filling syringe.
It is desirable to have a sufficiently high
filling level of tempering liquid for the best
possible heat transfer.
With longer tempering processes visually
check the filling level.
4.4 Switching off
● The PTT can be switched off at any time by actuating the
switch ("Off" = O).
4.5 Standby mode
The PTT can be put into a standby mode. To do this the control knob is held pressed for at least 3 se-
conds.
In this way all electrical components (fans, magnetic stirrer, power electronics for the thermostating unit)
are deactivated.
The standby function is used for periods in which the beaker is removed from the system (e.g. when
changing the sample liquid) or for (measurement) phases which require a vibration-free environment.
The device must be put into the standby mode when the temperature sensor is out of the
sample liquid for longer than two minutes in order to prevent overheating of the system and
triggering of the EMERGENCY-OFF function.
Return to the operating mode occurs by again pressing the control knob for at least three seconds.
