WORLDS FIRST: Safety magnetic stirrer with heating and integrated weighing function. The clear, multilingual TFT display makes it easy to set all parameters. Integrated temperature control feature enables connection of a temperature probe which can be placed directly in the medium to control medium temperature with a high degree of precision. PT 100 temperature sensor is included with purchase of RET control. The stainless steel composite hot plate, reaching a temperature of 340 °C, enables rapid heating. RS 232 and USB interface enables pc control of the magnetic stirrer and documentation of all test parameters. Furthermore firmware updates can be installed through the USB interface. The Lock function prevents inadvertent changes of speed and temperature settings. As a safety feature, the current temperature is displayed when the unit is switched off but surface is still hot. Below 50 °C the display turns off automatically Integrated weighing function BNC socket for connection of a pH electrode Adjustable temperature control mode: rapid heating or very accurate temperature control Dual sensor for simultaneous control of heat transfer fluid temperature and medium temperature (optional) Timer and countdown functions Display of viscosity change trend Detached magnet detection Intermittent operation Several modes of operation available Safety circuit adjustable from 50 to 380°C
