Electrothermal IA9300 - Introduction

3
Electrothermal IA9000 Series of Digital melting Point Instruments are designed
for general purpose laboratory use, in which samples submitted for analysis are
enclosed in glass capillary tubes and brought to a melt point condition under
strictly controlled parameters of time and temperature.
All instruments in the product range operate in a similar manner with a
microprocessor controlling the oven temperature and the readout. All versions
of the IA contain an onboard memory for control and storage of the results.
Melt temperatures can be recorded by simple key depressions that will transfer
the display information into the memory at specified phases of melt.
Alternatively critical point temperatures may be set up for recording data. After
recording the melt point, the oven temperature will revert to the „set – point‟
allowing consecutive samples to be analysed using identical control
parameters.
The advanced IA9200 and IA9300 models have additional advanced features
to permit computer assisted data analysis.
Start ramp temperature and ramp rate can be keyboard selected for
different test standards.
The operating system permits batch serial numbers to be allocated
from the keyboard.
An RS232-C interface enables the information to be transferred directly
to a computer.
An optional serial/parallel printer enables a hard copy of temperatures,
date, time and batch number to be recorded in association with a built
in „real time‟ clock.
Warnings ( * ) given in the publication identify conditions and actions that pose
hazards to the end user. It is therefore recommended that a person designated
as the „Responsible Body‟ for the equipment follow the Operating Instructions
and safety Information and that the end user(s) are suitably trained before
using the equipment.
