< T
limit, high
This is generally the preferred position un-
less the temperature control appears to be
unstable for temperature setpoints close to
the incoming VT gas temperature.
CAUTION: Obey the upper limit for the sample temperature and the
maximum VT heater power as given on the ‘L
IMITATIONS - WARNINGS’ sheet. This
temperature must not be exceeded - not even for a short time.
NOTE: The VT Interface Box splits the VT unit heater energy and disposes part of
it as heat at the box. When the box is in L
OW position but forced to heat the sam-
ple beyond 65°C, a safety circuit will prevent the box from overheating. A
heater
failure
will be reported by the VT unit and in the edte display.

An optional BCU05 gas cooler is required.
Depending on the target temperature (see “Figure 5.1”) the selector switch on
the VT Interface Box has to be set accordingly to
• L
OW For T

< T

•HIGH For T

+ 5°C < T

< T
VT gas
+ 3°C
This is generally the preferred position un-
less the temperature control appears to be
unstable.
CAUTION: Obey the lower limit for the sample temperature as given on
the ‘L
IMITATIONS - WARNINGS’ sheet. This temperature must not be exceeded - not
even for a short time. Never use a liquid nitrogen evaporator to provide cold VT
gas.
CAUTION: Use a special VT adapter or a hose connection of sufficient length
such that, at the point where the hose enters the CryoProbe, there is no freezing
or condensation.
Tuning the regulation loop 5.3.3
Use the self-tune feature of the B-VT units to optimize the sample temperature
regulation loop. Write down the control parameters of the B-VT unit and also the
VT heater power required to achieve the desired temperature. Set the heater limit
accordingly.
NOTE: A B-VT2000 cannot be self-tuned with edte (although no error appears)
but must be set directly at its E
UROTHERM unit. See the B-VT2000 Operating Man-
ual (P/N W1101034) for instructions.
