6 INSTALLATION

6.1 LOCATION

The unit should be located in a clean environment where ambient temperature is

between 10℃ and 35℃(50℉ to 94℉).

Never place the unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, or corrosive
materials are present.

6.2 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The unit provides extra protection against the risk of electrical shock by grounding
appropriate metal parts. The extra protection may not function unless the power
cord is connected to a properly grounded outlet. It is the user’s responsibility to
assure a proper ground connection is provided.

The lower line of LCD screen displays the total running time. When the actual
temperature is up to the setpoint, the timer start and the second signal of time flash.
The screen will display End when the holding time is over also the beeper will keep
buzzing for 30s. Press and hold to rerun the unit.

Note: The holding time can be set from 00:01 to 99:59.

Set the holding time to 0, the lower line of LCD screen will display the
setpoint temperature and the hotplate will keep heating state.

When the unit is overheating, the buzzer will alarm and ALM will be displayed in
the LCD screen. If the overheating state was caused by temperature set operation,
there will be no buzz and only ALM be displayed in the screen.

Press any key can stop the buzzer.

In parameter set interface, the screen will turn to normal interface automatically
when no operation in 1minute.

If “---“ were displayed in the upper line of the LCD screen, there must be
malfunction on temperature sensor or the controller itself, please contact our
service engineer without hesitation.

Note: During your operation, if the temperature is more than 10℃ higher than your
setpoint and still rising, please switch off the unit immediately and contact our
service engineer.

Pay attention to surface of EH and EG series hotplate, especially the corrision-

resistant model.

Keeping the surface clean and check the surface periodically.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING

9.1 THE COLOR OF SURFACE COATING CHANGED

If the color becomes dark. The reason is that high temperature condition makes the
coating crystallized and reorganized. This is not affect the usage. And, if the color
becomes white. The reason is that the super high temperature condition makes the
pigment of coating decomposed. This is not affect the usage. ( Notice: please use
in the safe working temperature range.)

9.2 THE COATING DESQUAMATED

The surface coating of EH20 series products couldn't be scratched. If it is
scratched, the material will be corrupted and the corrosion-resistant coating will be
scaleling off.

9.3 THE DISPLAY TEMPERATURE IS JUMPING

Firstly, please check whether the ground wire of power supply is well connected or
not. If it is well connected, please turn on the power supply after turning off a
minute. If it is still abnormal, please check around whether there are strong
interference sources or not.

NOTE: Here are most of the general questions people have about temperature
controllable hotplate. If you still have other questions, please e-mail us.
