5.1 Shelf Placement

Place the stainless steel metal shelf also calleddiffuser shelf, (corners facing downward) insidethe bath chamber. The shelf provides a samplebase and protects samples from touching the hotmetal bath bottom.

If it is necessary to increase the height of thediffuser shelf, a Leg Extension Kit is included forthis purpose. Model 2823/2824 is excluded.

Following the figure shown below, attach the fourextension legs to each of the four corners of thediffuser shelf.

For Model 2827/2828 and above, the maximumliquid level should be 1-1/2" from the top surface ofthe bath after sample(s) are immersed. For Model2823/2824, the maximum liquid level should be3/4" from the top of the bath.

5.3 Bath Cover

To conserve energy and reduce evaporation, usethe cover supplied with the bath throughout thetemperature range of the bath. This cover must bein place to reach and maintain 100°C.

CAUTIONDO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL AS A COVER;IT MAY CAUSE CORROSION OF THESTAINLESS STEEL AS A RESULT OF ANELECTROLYTIC REACTION.

CAUTIONWHEN OPERATING AT TEMPERATURESGREATER THAN 60ºC, DO NOT TOUCH METALSURFACE OF GABLE COVER. LIFT GABLECOVER BY KNOB ONLY.

NOTEAS WATER BATHS ARE OPERATED,ESPECIALLY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES,CONDENSATION FORMS ON THEUNDERSIDE OF THE GABLE COVER. THEAMOUNT OF CONDENSATION CAN BECONSIDERABLE. EXERCISE CARE WHENREMOVING THE COVER SO THAT WATERFALLS BACK INTO BATH CHAMBER, AND NOTON BATH SURFACE. THE COVER SHOULDBE PLACED UPSIDE DOWN WHEN REMOVEDTO MAINTAIN A DRY WORK AREA.

5.4 Bath ThermometerEach bath is supplied with a thermometer and O-ring(packed separately). The thermometer is attached tothe bath via a metal clip on the top of the bath.

Slip the O-ring onto the thermometer; insert thisassembly through the metal clip until the immersiondepth indicator line is at or below the water surface.The thermometer bulb should always be locatedabove the diffuser shelf.

CAUTION:CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PROTECT THETHERMOMETER FROM ACCIDENTALBREAKAGE AND SPILLAGE OF CONTENTS.

5.2 Filling Bath NOTE:

DISTILLED WATER IS RECOMMENDED; IT WILLNOT CORRODE THE BATH CHAMBERAND IT REDUCES THE NEED FOR FREQUENTBATH CLEANING.

DO NOT USE 18 MEG DEIONIZED WATER.NOTE: If this is the only source of treated wateravailable; mix 50% with regular tap water.

Before filling, check the power switch and makesure that it is in the "OFF" position.

Fill the bath with distilled water, making allowancefor displacement by the sample(s) being immersedand for expansion of the media upon reachingoperating temperature.

6. MAINTENANCE

WARNING:UNIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROMPOWER SOURCE PRIOR TO SERVICING. ITIS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SERVICE BEPERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICEPERSONNEL.

CAUTION:ELECTROLYSIS CAN DAMAGE STAINLESSSTEEL. THIS CAN OCCUR IF AN OBJECT ISALLOWED TO REST DIRECTLY ON THESURFACE, TRAPPING MOISTURE THATBECOMES OXYGEN STARVED BUT ISSURROUNDED BY WATER CONTAININGOXYGEN. THE RESULTING ELECTROLYTICACTION WILL PIT OR CORRODE THESTAINLESS STEEL.

BackgroundStainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromiumand nickel which increase the metal's resistance torust and corrosion. However, if not properly caredfor it can rust and corrode. Exposure to air providesthe passivations for clean stainless steel. Thisexposure produces a thin, durable chromium-oxidefilm that forms rapidly on the alloy surface andgives stainless steel its characteristic "stainless"quality. Exposure of the surface to water otheroxidizing environments also produces thispassivating film. However, if free oxygen is notavailable due to scale or contamination buildup, themetal surface may become vulnerable to attack.

Maintaining a neutral pH and frequent cleaningwith detergent and water will give you years oftrouble-free service for your water bath. The follow-ing are some guidelines to keep in mind.

WaterDistilled water is recommended. Maintain pHbetween 7 and 9 to minimize corrosion of thestainless steel.

De-ionized or reverse-osmosis water may be used.However, if this water is very pure, it may becorrosive to stainless steel; and in such casesalways add 20-40 ppm (20 to 40 mg/liter)disodium phosphate or sodium bicarbonate.Adjust dosage to give a pH of 7 to 9. See "pHControl" below.If the above water is not available, clean, aeratedsoft tap water may be used, provided the totalsolids concentration is <500 ppm.

7

pH ControlBe sure to check pH regularly. If pH is <6.0, adddisodium phosphate to increase pH to a 7 to 9value. Sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonatemay be used but tend to form scale which must berinsed out regularly. If pH is >10.0 add sodiumbisulfate to decrease pH to a 7 to 9 value. Avoidadding harsh alkalines or acids since they maycause localized corrosion and result in unstable pH.

Anti-Fungal -- Anti-Bacterial AdditivesThese additives are permissible to use as long asthe pH of the aqueous solution is kept within therange of 7 to 9. Some of these are available throughyour supply dealer. Be sure they are not harmful tostainless steel.

Prevention of Scale BuildupAdditives commonly available for use in swimmingpools and spas may be acceptable in circulatingbaths only. In static baths, these are generally noteffective. This is why it is best to use distilled,deionized or RO water treated as described in"WATER" above. If scale buildup is detected(especially around immersion heaters), clean thebath and replace water as soon as practical.

Other Water AdditivesProper maintenance of the stainless steel bathchamber will help assure many years of service.

It should be cleaned regularly with mild soapywater and rinsed with distilled water.

IMPORTANT: If it is necessary to use the followingchemicals, limit the exposure time to a maximum offour hours. Clean surfaces immediately after useby rinsing with distilled water.

Aluminum Chloride Barium ChlorideBichloride of Mercury Calcium ChlorideCarbolic Acid Chlorinated LimeCitric Acid (boiling) Dakin's SolutionFerrous Chloride Mercury SaltsLysol Mercuric Chloride PhenolPotassium Permanganate Stannous ChlorideSodium Hypochlorite Tartaric AcidPotassium Thiocyanate Lysol

NEVER USE THE FOLLOWING Aqua Regia Ferric Chloride Iodine Sodium Azide Sulfuric Acid

6.1 CleaningSpills of any chemical, especially those listed aboveshould be removed as soon as possible and thestainless steel surface cleaned with mild soapywater followed by copious rinse with clean water.Do not use soap filled or metallic pads. Evenstainless steel pads are to be avoided as they maydestroy the passive film on the surface of the metaland create crevices that may harbor contamination.If stubborn stains persist, use a plastic light dutycleansing pad and rub gently in the direction of themetal grain. If stains continue to persist, use one ofthe following methods.
