Working with an external temperature sensor
The external temperature sensor PT1000 is a standard accessory of the manufacturer. Compared to
the hotplate's temperature control, the external temperature sensor can control the medium's
temperature with a higher accuracy.
If the external temperature sensor is needed, it must be plugged into the device BEFORE turning
•
ON the device.
Ensure the external temperature sensor is firmly connected and inserted into the media before
•
heating.
Switch ON the equipment and start heating.
•
The LED screen displays the set target temperature for 5 seconds and then shifts to the real
•
temperature.

Residual heat warning (HOT)
In order to prevent the risk of burns from the hotplate, the digital hotplate has a residual heat
warning function.
While the heating function is switched OFF but the heating plate temperature is still above 50ºC,
"Hot" will flash on the LED screen to warn that there is a hazard of burns from the hotplate.
When the hotplate temperature drops to below 50ºC, the LED screen displays "0".
If users want to turn OFF the LED display immediately (the warning message keeps popping up), just
pull out the plug directly. Once unplugged, the residual heat message stops flashing.
