1. Place the device on the proper support stand to sustain the device’s capacity without vibration. Placing the
heating mantle on a smaller surface would only cause it to fall, causing other hazards.
2. Never put it in a hazardous location. Do not use the gadget in areas where there are combustible materials. It
has the potential to produce major accidents such as explosions or res.
3. Do not use this gadget if the ambient temperature is below 5°C or over 35°C.
4. Do not use the gadget in a high-temperature environment. Do not use the gadget near another heater or an air
conditioner that is blowing. If ignored, this might lead to an accident due to overheating.
5. The gadget should be placed in a well-ventilated area. Check that the openings on the side or back of the
body are not obstructed by a wall or an item. Also, do not open the gadget in a poorly ventilated area or use
it closed. It may create a re or harm the equipment by preventing it from creating enough heat, or it may
produce insucient ventilation.
6. Never use the device outside. Avoid placing the device in regions where it will be directly exposed to the sun or
rain. This is extremely dangerous since it can cause overheating, a short circuit, or moisture damage.
7. Do not place the gadget in areas where it may become moist or dusty. This may result in overheating, a short
circuit, or a re caused by moisture or dust inside of the device.
8. Place the gadget in a well-lit area. When you position the device in a dark area, it may result in an unforeseen
mishap owing to a probable operating error caused by decreased vision.
Installation Warnings
Purchasing a complete system comes with an evaporator support stand which serves as a support stand for the
heating mantle and other components. The heating mantle is rested in this stand for all its procedures when in
use. The evaporator support stand is engineered to support the weight of the reaction vessel, an appropriate
volume solution being heated, the necessary equipment which makes up the evaporation system, and then the
heating mantle along with its components. For the safe operation of the heating mantle, Ecodyst strongly advises
the evaporator support stand as the safest support for our heating mantles. Using other support stands would be
at the sole discretion of the user, and hence, Ecodyst Scientic, Inc. shall not be liable for any accidents or hazards
that arise because of using such. Also, Ecodyst Scientic, Inc. does not assume responsibility for mantles damaged
because of being supported otherwise—for instance, directly on ring stands, cork rings, lab jacks, and so on.
Support Stand
The Ecodyst High Powered Heating Mantle’s operation requires manual or automatic temperature control to
maintain the desired temperature and to prevent overheating of the mantle, the vessel, and its contents. This
temperature control can be done by Ecodyst Scientic, Inc’s recommended Ecodyst High Powered Heating Mantle
Controller, which is available from Ecodyst Scientic, Inc. Contact the factory if assistance is needed in selecting the
appropriate heating mantle controller.
Some units contain two lower circuits, others three. The HPM-8000 and HPM-16000-3ph are both equipped with
3 circuits. When in operation, the two lower circuits (one lower circuit for HPM-2000, HPM-3000, HPM-5000, and
HPM-6000) furnish heat for boiling the liquid contents, while the upper circuit prevents condensation of the vapors.
