5.0 Stirring Instructions
For Models: PC-410D, PC-420D, PC-610D, PC-620D
1. Fill the vessel with solution to be stirred.
2. Place the stir bar into the vessel.
3. Place the vessel in the center of the top surface.
4. Turn Stir Control Knob until the Stirring Speed Display shows the desired speed. The speed
setting can be adjusted according to the table below.
Operating Range Adjustable
(rpm) Increment (rpm)
60 - 100 5
100 - 200 10
200 - 400 20
400 - 1,150 50
Flashing Display: The number will FLASH when the actual stirring speed is not at set
speed.
Constant Display: The number will not flash when the actual stirring speed is at the set
speed. The number will remain constantly ON when the actual stirring speed is at the
set speed.
5. When desired stirring is complete, turn the Stir Control Knob to the OFF position. Allow
stir bar to cease rotation before removing the vessel from the unit.
6. Heating and stirring can be performed simultaneously with the PC-420D and PC-620D
models, which offer both heating and stirring functions.
NOTE: The viscosity of the stirred material will affect the ability of the stir bar to remain
coupled to the rotating ring magnet. Materials of high viscosity must be stirred at slower
speed settings.
With the External Temperature Controller (Corning 6795PR) for Models: PC-400D, PC-420D,
PC-600D, PC-620D, and 6795PR
1. Connect the External Temperature Controller to the connector on the back of the unit.
Temperature Probe in Use Indicator: This will illuminate when the External Temperature
Controller is properly connected.
2. Fill the vessel with solution to be heated.
3. If using a PC-420D or PC-620D model and the stirring function, place the stir bar into the vessel.
4. Place the vessel in the center of the top surface.
5. Insert the tip of the External Temperature Probe into the solution (see section 10.0
diagram for proper usage).
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.
Ensure the cable of the External Temperature Controller does not come into contact with
the heating surface.
7. Turn the 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 approx. 60°C).
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 approx. 60°C.
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.

7.0 Heating Operation
7.1 Principles
The heating element and a temperature sensor are located just beneath the ceramic top
surface of the product. The microprocessor-controlled heat, generated by the heating
element, is based upon the sensor temperature 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.
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 following table shows a typical difference between the temperature set on the Heating
Temperature Display and the actual temperature measurement of the ceramic top surface.
Temp. Set on Actual Top Surface Temp. Set on Actual Top Surface
Display (°C) Temp. (°C) Display (°C) Temp. (°C)
50 45 350 285
100 85 400 325
150 125 450 365
200 165 500 405
250 205 550 440
300 245
(This information was taken using a 6795-420D with no top load in 20°C ambient conditions).
Using the External Temperature Controller (Cat. No. 6795PR) enables precision temperature control
of materials placed in vessels on top of the product.
When the External Temperature Controller is connected to the product, the closed loop
control process 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.
To directly control the temperature of liquid in a vessel on the top surface, place the External
Temperature Controller into the liquid and connect the Controller to the product. The
Heating Temperature Display shows the temperature of the liquid and can be used to adjust
the temperature of the liquid. See Section 10.0 for ordering information.
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.
7.2 Safety
The microprocessor-controlled system has built-in error routines to detect product operation
in some unfavorable conditions. The type of error routines which may be active in a product
varies depending upon the functionality of the model and the operating software version.
If an error routine is engaged, the product will typically shut down. Some error routines will
8.0 Repair
