CT-2000 Instruction Manual
The CANNON CT-2000 is capable of maintaining temperatures of 10 °C to 100 °C within 0.01 °C and
temperatures of 101 °C to 150 °C within 0.03 °C. (Temperature stability at or below ambient may
vary depending on the quality of the external cooling unit.)
Bath Description
The bath chamber is a cylindrical clear vessel 300 mm (12 inches) in diameter and 300 mm (12
inches) high. A stainless steel baffle coated with white PTFE is located in the center of the bath and
provides a convenient backdrop for viewing viscometers placed within the bath. The top cover
contains seven round holes, 51 mm (two inches) in diameter, for insertion of viscometer holders.
Two smaller holes are provided for thermometers, as shown in Figure 2. Twin fluorescent lamps
provide glare-free illumination of the bath.

Microprocessor circuitry, functioning in tandem with a pair of heaters and a stainless steel-encased
RTD provides stable and accurate temperature control. A motor-driven stirrer ensures that a
uniform temperature is maintained throughout the bath.
The bath housing is fabricated from heavy aluminum and coated with a corrosion-resistant epoxy.
The top cover consists of three layers: a stainless steel top surface, an insulating layer, and a bottom
stainless steel heat reflector as shown in Figure 3.
