 1For safe operation

Pay due attention on the safety. The product may be extremely hot and is not of
an explosion-proof structure.

Do not put any flammable materials, such as

organic solvent, etc., in the chamber.
The chamber interior may become extremely hot during drying, and
flammable materials may be vaporized, resulting in an explosion inside the
chamber.
Danger Explosive materials include nitrate, nitro compounds, etc. while flammable
materials include perchloric acid, inorganic peroxides, nitrites, organic
solvent.
This device is not of an explosive-proof structure.

Pay due attention to the set temperature during

drying of combustibles.
For example, when drying resin-made containers or parts, setting too high
Warning temperature by mistake may cause melting and ignition of these containers and
parts.
Putting excessive amount of sample in the chamber may cause local temperature
rise, possibly resulting in melting and ignition of combustibles.

During operation, take care not to touch the top surface and the
upper portion of door because they become excessively hot.
During operation and for a certain period after operation, the observation window and the top and side of door
become extremely hot. Do not touch these portions to prevent burn.

3.4 Setting modes
Various values and optional features can be set.
*To change the value in the set mode, do so in the state of temperature control stopped.

(1) PID channel setting

At shipment from the plant, a proper PID value is set to Default within the range of temperature control.
If the default PID does not provide good temperature control, temperature can be controlled at an optionally input PID
value or at an Auto-tuned value.

To activate an optionally input PID or Auto-tuned value, select Custom.

(2) Set Custom PID

Temperature can be controlled at an optionally input PID.
To reflect the input value on control, it is necessary to choose Custom on PID channel setting.

(3) Setting Auto-Tuning

If the default PID does not provide good temperature control, the PID may be calculated automatically at the target
temperature.

*Ineffective at factory shipment

Depending on the condition, an optimum value may not be obtained.
Execution of Auto-Tuning automatically selects Custom in PID Channel Setting.
Auto-tuned PID is reflected on Custom PID.

(4) Temperature correction

A measured value can be corrected.
*Ineffective at factory shipment
Range of correction: -50.0 - +50.0ºC (Resolution0.1ºC)

(5) Blackout recovery function setting

* Effective at factory shipment.
Movement at the time of blackout recovery can be set.
• When this is set to be effective (at factory shipment)
When power is recovered, the movement shortly before blackout continues.
• When this is set to be ineffective
When power is recovered, temperature control stops.

(6) Optional feature setting

• Buzzer
Buzzer ON/OFF can be set.
* On at factory shipment.
• Display
Display colors on the screen can be reversed.
* Set to Normal at factory shipment.

(7) Reset set values

• Return to factory shipment status.
Various set values will be reset.

• Insert a + driver into the hole of the contrast adjusting part on the front part of the system, rotate
the inside knob either right or left and adjust the position giving good visibility of the display screen.
* When operating the rotating knob, operate it in a fine-tuning manner. If you operate it greatly,
this may cause failure. Even fine-tuning greatly changes the contrast.
* Do not operate the knob with strong
force. This would cause failure.
