There is an IEC socket at the rear of the
instrument for connection to the mains supply,
(see figure 2). The unit is supplied with two
mains leads fitted with IEC plugs for connection
to the instrument. One has a U.K. 3 pin plug
and the other has a 2 pin "Schuko" plug for
connection to the mains. Choose the lead
appropriate for your electrical installation and
discard the other.
Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead
with the U.K. plug and replace the plug with a
suitable alternative. See the enclosed instruction
sheet for advice on how to carry out this
procedure.
Should the mains lead require replacement a
cable of 1mm
connected to an IEC 320 plug should be used.
The mains lead should be connected to the
instrument BEFORE connection to the mains
supply.

Use as a Hotplate
CD162, SD160 and SD162
Ensure that the external temperature probe is
NOT connected to the instrument.
The control knob on the left hand side of the
display controls the heating function.
To switch on the heating function briefly press
and release the knob. Repeat to turn off the
heating function.
When switched on the display will show actual
plate temperature at the bottom of the screen
and the set temperature directly above. The
heating icon will show , indicating that the
displayed temperatures are those of the plate
surface.
The plate temperature can be selected and
controlled to a resolution of 1°C.
550W
To increase the set temperature turn the knob
700W
clockwise until the required setting is shown in
750W
the display. To decrease the setting turn the
knob anti-clockwise.
The unit will now begin to heat until the set
temperature is reached and then will hold the
plate at this value. The actual plate temperature
is continuously displayed at the bottom of the
screen. When the set temperature is reached an
alarm will sound. When the plate surface is too
hot to touch (> 50°C) a red warning light on the
front panel will begin to flash. This will continue
to flash while the plate temperature is above
50°C even after the heating function is turned
off.
