Heating Instructions
(without External Temperature Controller)
5 Insert the tip of the External Temperature Probe into the solution.
- The tip should be located in the center of the vessel and at approximately one-half of the depth of the solution.
6 Secure the position of the External Temperature Controller by using a
ring stand/support rod and clamp.
- Assure that the cable of the External Temperature Controller does
not come into contact with the heating surface.
7 Turn Heat Control Knob until the Heating Temperature Display
shows the desired heating temperature.
- Flashing Display: The number shown on the Heating Temperature
Display will FLASH when the actual heating temperature is not at
the set temperature.
- Constant Display: The number shown on the Heating Temperature
Display will remain constantly ON when the actual heating temperature is at the set temperature.
- Hot Top Indicator: The Hot Top Indicator will be ON at all times
when the temperature of the top surface is too hot to touch (greater
than ~60C).
- The Hot Top Indicator will FLASH when the Heat Control Knob
is turned OFF but the top surface is still too hot to touch.
- The Hot Top Indicator will be OFF when the temperature of the
top is less than ~60C.
Caution: The Hot Top Indicator will turn OFF when the power cord is
disconnected from the product even if the temperature of the top surface
is still too hot to touch.
Heating Instructions
(with External Temperature Controller, Corning Catalog No. 6795PR)
The Heating Temperature Display does not indicate the actual temperature of materials placed on top of the product or the actual temperature
of the ceramic top surface.

(The information above was taken using a 6795-420D with no top load
in 20C ambient conditions)
Using the External Temperature Controller, Corning Inc. Cat. No.6795PR
enables precision temperature control of materials placed in vessels on top of
the product.
An External Temperature Controller is available for this product as an
accessory item. See page 11 for more details.
When the External Temperature Controller is connected to the product,
the closed loop control process described previously is extended to
include temperature input from the External Temperature Controller.
The microprocessor controlled heat, generated by the heating element,
is based upon the sensor temperature located in the tip of the External
Temperature Controller and the value set on the Heating Temperature
Display. When the sensor temperature is not within range of the value
set on the display, the display will FLASH. When the sensor temperature
is within range, the value displayed will remain constantly ON.
When the External Temperature Controller is connected to the product
and properly placed into a liquid on the top surface, then the Heating
Temperature Display does indicate and directly control the actual temperature of the liquid on the top surface.
Caution: The top surface and the vessel used may be at substantially
higher temperatures than indicated by the setting on the Heating Temperature Display as the controller regulates the liquid temperature inside
the vessel.
Caution: Error routines built into these products do not substitute the
need to use these products per the specified operating conditions and
according to safe laboratory practices. There are potential failure modes
in product functionality or in process of use that could result in uncontrolled or unexpected heating of the top surface. Reaction plans should
be developed and safety precautions put in place based on the worse case
scenario that any materials placed on the top surface could be subjected
to a continuous supply of heat, raising the material temperature to levels
in excess of 550C.
Product Repair
There are no direct user serviceable components inside this series of
products. A list of available replacement parts are listed on page 12.
Please contact Corning or a Corning authorized repair facility for
repair or maintenance issues.
Product Maintenance
Power
Caution: Disconnect power to the product by unplugging the power
cord before performing any maintenance or inspection procedures.
Inspect the power cord regularly and replace if damaged. Use only
replacement power cords available from Corning and Corning
authorized product distributors.

Control Knob
The stir bar keeps decoupling. Why and what can I do to stop this?
These units are programmed to minimize decoupling. However, liquid
viscosity, stir bar magnetic strength, vessel used, and speed changes can
cause decoupling. High viscosity liquids must be stirred at slower speed
settings. The magnetic strength of stir bars can weaken over time and
may need to be replaced. Vessels used need to have thin, flat bottoms
to insure optimal performance. Rapid decreases in stir speed can cause
decoupling as the magnet slows down quicker than the stir bar and the
liquid.
