Chapter 3: Operation
Operation Manual: Evolution Series
TCS Address (Evolution 6300 Only)
Distek instruments that are connected to the unit
(i.e. 4300, 6300, etc.) must be turned off or
disconnected (remove communication cables)
temporarily while changing the address. This
avoids inadvertently changing the addresses of the
other connected instruments.
For the Evolution 6300 it is necessary to establish communications with the TCS.
The screen shown in Figure 3-6 will contain a field for 'TCS'. This represents the
TCS address. This option is only selectable via the 'ADV' screen.
To establish communication for the first time or the change the TCS address,
follow the procedure below:
1. Disconnect any Distek instrument that is currently connected to this unit
(i.e. 4300, 6300, etc.) by removing the RS-485 cable. (Do not remove the
RS-485 going from the main unit to the TCS, only remove the cable going
from this unit to the external devices.)
2. From the 'SYS CONFIG' screen select the 'ADV' menu.
3. Enter the password for this screen.
4. Highlight the TCS address field.
5. Using the + and – button set to the desired address.
6. Press ENTER.
7. A warning message will be displayed. Select 'YES' to accept the change.
8. Exit out of the ADV screen for the change to take affect.
Preheat (Evolution 6300 Only)
During preheat the unit will display the temperature ready screen only when it
determines that the vessel temperatures are stable. In order to verify the unit’s
stability the system checks each vessel repeatedly during preheat. Each vessel
must meet the following criteria during a two minute period in order for the test
to begin:
Test Temperature ± Preheat Range
The preheat setting allows the user to set the Temperature Range from 0.2-0.5ºC.
The default value is 0.2ºC.
For example, if the test temperature is 37.0ºC and the preheat setting is 0.2ºC the
temperature ready screen will not be displayed until all vessels are in the range
37.0 ± 0.2ºC for two minutes. If one vessel falls outside the criteria the two
minute clock will be reset.
