Introduction
Please read all the information in this manual before
operating the unit.
Your Cimarec hot plate is a general purpose heating plate
designed for laboratory procedures requiring precise control of temperature. Each Cimarec hot plate model
includes a digital display for monitoring actual temperature. The hot plate is capable of producing accurately
controlled top plate temperatures from 5°C through 540°C
on all 4" x 4" and 7" x 7" models, and the 5°C through
400°C models on the 10" x 10" models. The temperature
is controlled at the plate surface by an internal sensor.
The top plate on the Cimarec units is solid ceramic, and
is suitable for use with glass or metal vessels.
Your Cimarec hot plate may be used for general purpose
heating applications, including sample preparation, heating reagents, melting paraffin, warming resinous chemicals, content analysis, solvent evaporations, digestions,
media preparation and sterilization, titrations, sand baths,
and microscale chemistry applications.
General Usage
Do not use this product for anything other than its intended usage.

Page 9
PrinciplesofOperation
Each Cimarec unit utilizes the latest in microprocessor
technology to deliver a reliable, controlled, ceramic top
hot plate.
Your Cimarec hot plate has an electronic closed-loop
feedback control which will accurately maintain temperature setpoints from 5°C through 400°C or 540°C,
depending on the model. The top plate surface temperatures are calibrated and verified at the factory using
the latest in infrared temperature measurement. The
measurements are made with an infrared camera
mounted approximately 26" above the top surface of
the hot plate. If the temperature measurement of the
ceramic top is made with measurement devices other
than infrared, the error of the measuring technique may
be greater than the error of the unit.

Operation
Warning
Use caution when heating volatile
materials; top surface and element
can reach the “Flash Point
Temperature” of many chemicals.
These hot plates are not explosion
proof. Fire or explosion may result.
Unit contains components which may
ignite such materials.
Use appropriate hand and eye protection when handling hazardous chemicals.
“Caution: Hot Top. Avoid Contact.” The
top plate of the unit can remain hot for
some time after use. A “CAUTION HOT TOP” light will remain on until top
plate temperature cools to below
50°C.
Caution
To avoid damage to the top plate or
heating element, always keep a vessel
filled with liquid on the top plate of a
hot plate when the unit is heating or
cooling.
When plugging in the hot plate and powering it up for the
first time, you will see the software version and hertz displayed briefly on the digital display.
There is no ON/OFF button on the Cimarec hot plate.
Simply turn the HEAT knob clockwise to activate.
Setting the Temperature
Your Cimarec hot plate has an electronic closed-loop
feedback control which will accurately maintain temperature setpoints in 5° increments from 5°C through 400°C or
540°C, depending on the model. An unloaded hot plate
will heat to maximum temperature in just 8 minutes. The
temperature is controlled at the top plate by the internal
sensor. A “CAUTION - HOT TOP” light on the front panel
will illuminate whenever the top surface temperature
exceeds 50°C.
Your Cimarec hot plate will display the temperature in °C.
When choosing a setpoint, the display will indicate the
setpoint for 5 seconds, after which the display will flash
until the desired setpoint is reached.
If you want to ensure that the unit will not heat, turn the
HEAT knob counter-clockwise to OFF. The display will
alternate between HOT and OFF, and the “HOT TOP”
light will flash until the top surface has cooled to 50°C.
Nothing will be displayed on the screen when the unit has
been cooled down and the knob is turned to OFF.
To Achieve Fast Heat-up of
Large Volumes
If you are heating larger volumes, faster heating can be
achieved by turning the heat control knob to maximum
temperature until the solution starts to heat, and then
turning the setpoint back to your desired top plate temperature. The display will flash the new setpoint until that
temperature has been reached.
11
Page 12
OPERATION
Note
The solution temperature is approximately 25% cooler than the hot plate
surface temperature.
Note
If you allow the top plate to reach the
maximum temperature of 540°C while
preheating and then turn the control
down to a setpoint less than 200°C,
the temperature of the top will drop
rapidly to 200°C. Because of the natural cooling characteristics of ceramic,
the temperature of the top will drop
much more gradually after the top plate
temperature reaches 200°C.
Heating Small Volumes
Preheating small volumes is not necessary as it may
cause the temperature to overshoot the desired setpoint.
Heating Metal Vessels and
Sand Baths
Because the advanced electronic control in the
Cimarec is capable of precisely regulating the top plate
temperature, metal vessels and sand baths may be
heated safely without the danger of the ceramic top
breaking. Use the lowest temperature setting possible
for applications to limit thermal stress to the ceramic
top. Using a metal vessel or sand bath may reduce
the life of the hot plate.
12
Note
Boiling times are dependent on solution volume and the surface area of the
flask that is exposed to the hot plate.
For example, when heating the same
amount of solution in a 2L flask vs. a
1L flask, the solution will heat about
20% faster.
