MELT POINT: 082.0 indicate the set Temp.
ACT Temp.: 033.0 indicate the oil bath temp.
5.3.10 The heater will become “ON” and temperature will start rising. The “GREEN” indicator lamp will start flashing (indicate the heater is ON) and on the display it is.
5.3.11 ACT temperature will start rising, the first buzzer will sound approximately 15.0 ºC before set temp. From this point of temp. the rate of temp. will attain 1.0º C per minute
5.3.12 The second buzzer will sound before 5.0 ºC, i.e. at 77.0 ºC and the temp. will continue to rise at 1.0 ºC per minute. This audio signal intimate the user that the temp. is approaching close to melting point. On observing the melting of the sample.
5.3.13 Press “RECORD NEXT” key and observe the START OF MELTING POINT by pressing “RECORD NEXT” key
