2.1Authorized use
The authorized use of the thermoreactor is exclusively the heating of
samples in cells in a laboratory. The technical specifications as given
in chapter 8 T
ECHNICAL DATA must be observed. Only the operation and
running of the measuring instrument according to the instructions given
in this operating manual is authorized. Any other use is considered
unauthorized.
2.2General safety instructions
This thermoreactor is constructed and tested in compliance with the EN
61010 safety regulations for electronic measuring instruments. It left
the factory in a safe and secure technical condition.
Function and operating
safety
The smooth functioning and operational safety of the thermoreactor
can only be guaranteed if the generally applicable safety measures and
the specific safety instructions in this operating manual are followed
during operation.
The smooth functioning and operational safety of the thermoreactor
can only be guaranteed under the environmental and electrical
operating conditions that are specified in chapter 8 T
ECHNICAL DATA.
If the thermoreactor was transported from a cold environment to a
warm environment, the formation of condensate can impair the
functioning of the measuring system. In this event, wait until the
temperature of the thermoreactor reaches room temperature before
putting the thermoreactor back into operation.
Caution
The thermoreactor is only allowed to be opened by personnel authorized by.

3.2Initial commissioning
Note
The thermoreactor works at an ambient temperature of +5 °C to
+40 °C. When the thermoreactor was transported from a cold
environment to a warm environment, condensate may occur and cause
a malfunction. Wait until the thermoreactor has adjusted to the new
environmental conditions before putting it into operation again (see
also chapter 8 T
ECHNICAL DATA).
Setting up the
thermoreactor
Adjusting the mains
voltage
1Place the thermoreactor firmly onto a heat-resistant

4Basic principles of operation
This chapter provides you with basic information on how to operate the
thermoreactor.
4.1Operating and display elements
Using the six keys of the keypad (see section 4.1.1) you control the
thermoreactor.
Temperature values, available temperature programs or settings can
be viewed in the display (see section 4.1.2).
The control lamps above the operating panel are assigned to the
thermoblock. Their color (red or green) and their state (flashing or
illuminated) show the current operating state of the thermoreactor (see
section 4.1.3).

the thermoreactor has been preheated.
Caution
When dealing with chemicals always follow the safety data sheets
and the regulations for prevention of accidents.
Caution
Observe the analysis specifications of the test sets used.
Warning
The thermoblock can become very hot (150 °C).
There is danger of burning when the thermoblock is heated up.
Note
When cold reaction cells are inserted in the preheated thermoblock it
can cool down by approx. 3 °C.

thermoblock is in a range of ± 1 °C around the adjusted temperature
for two minutes constantly. The control lamps of the thermoblock will
then light up red.
Sequence with
automatic timer
Sequence with manual
timer
If the start of the timer for the reaction time has been set to automatic
in the SETUP menu (START TIMER:AUTO see section 5.4.2), the
reaction time automatically starts after the reaction temperature has
been achieved. The reaction temperature is kept constant during the
reaction time.
After the reaction time has expired the control lamps flash red.
The temperature program is finished.
The thermoreactor is in the program selection mode.
As soon as the thermoblock has cooled down to under 50°C, the
control lamps switch themselves off.
If the start of the timer for the reaction time has been set to manual in
the SETUP menu (START TIMER:MAN. see section 5.4.2), an S is
displayed in front of the nominal reaction time. With this setting the
thermoreactor controls the temperature until the timer for the reaction
time is started by pressing g.
4Start the timer for the reaction time with g. The S in front of
the reaction time disappears.

6.3Cleaning the enclosure
Wipe the thermoreactor with a damp cloth.
Caution
The housing is made of synthetic material. Thus, avoid contact
with acetone or detergents that contain solvents. Remove any
splashes immediately.
6.4Cleaning of the thermoblock of spilled cell contents
If liquid penetrated a thermoblock (e.g. from a cell), clean the
thermoblock as follows:
Warning
Cells can contain poisonous or corrosive substances. If the content has been set free observe the danger notes on the cell. If necessary take the corresponding protective measures (protective
goggles, protective gloves etc.).
Warning
The thermoblock can become very hot (150 °C). There is danger
of burning when the thermoblock is heated up.
1Switch off the thermoreactor and disconnect the power plug.
2Allow the thermoreactor to cool down.
3Unscrew the cover plate on top of the thermoblock.
4Clean the cover plate, block surfaces and borings with a damp
cloth.
