INTRODUCTION Please read all the information in this manual before using the unit. ® Techne Dri-Block heaters provide a safe, dry, constant temperature source in the laboratory. The units can be used for incubation, boiling, inactivation, wet ashing, sample concentration, enzyme analysis and many other clinical and industrial purposes. The units cover the temperature range from ambient +5°C to 100°C or 200°C (depending on model) using machined aluminium alloy blocks as the heat transfer medium.
BEFORE USE ® Before using the Dri-Block heater please make sure you have read this manual carefully. If there is any doubt relating to the proper use of this equipment, the staff at Bibby Scientific Ltd. or your supplier will be happy to assist you.
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION ® Please read all the information in this manual before using the Dri-Block heater. WARNING HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: they can cause serious burns to operators and ignite combustible material.

OPERATION INSTALLATION See also the sections on Safety and Installation. 1. Place the unit on a suitable flat bench or in a fume cupboard if required, ensuring that the air inlet vents on the underside are free from obstruction. 2. Select the insert aluminium alloy block(s) appropriate for the application. A list of available blocks is given in the section ‘Accessories’.
POWER UP SCREEN When you first switch on, the display will initially flash the currently installed firmware version of the unit. It will display this for 1 second and then the actual temperature of the plate will be indicated. THE FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The front panel controls consist of four buttons for controlling the display, a five digit LED display and three indicators. The front panel controls 1. Five digit LED display. 2. Power indicator. When lit, this shows that there is power to the unit. 3.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE UNITS 1. Press the Up arrow and Down arrow buttons together to toggle between °F and °C. Note: When the unit is tuned off, on subsequent power-up the units will revert to °C. SETTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE 1. To display the set temperature on the digital display, press and hold the set/reset button. 2. To adjust the set temperature, press the set/reset button and hold it while pressing the Up or Down arrow buttons.
5. To display the current heater temperature while the timer is active, press the timer button. The display will show the heater temperature and the letter ‘t’ will flash on the left hand side indicating the timer is counting down. Press the timer button again to revert to the timer countdown. 6. To re-run the same timer count-down, press the timer button until an audible beep is heard. 7.
CALIBRATION Note that if you change the calibration from that set at the factory you may change the calibration at all temperatures. You may get different calibration with different blocks. Make sure that you have good thermal contact between the insert blocks and the heater plate in the ® Dri- Block heater. For best results, push all the block inserts to the right hand side so they are touching.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Note that this equipment should only be dismantled by properly trained personnel. Removing the outer cover exposes potentially lethal mains voltages. There are no user serviceable parts within this equipment. FAULT FINDING ® Should you have any problems with your Dri-Block heater which cannot be easily remedied, you should contact your supplier and return the unit if necessary. Please include details of the fault observed and remember to return the unit in its original packing.
