Heraeus Electro-Nite CasTemp Wireless - QUBE CasTip Setup and Usage

9.8.2 CasTip Safety Mode
CasTip safety mode ensures that the instrument can be locked to one QUBE CasTip. This is to
prevent a QUBE at another location accidently connecting to the system. The safety mode can be
found in Settings under Instrument. The safety mode can be in three different states:
Important: When making changes, Save settings AND close the menu to return to the pairing screen
To change to another QUBE:
• Set the QUBE to the location ID of the instrument. It will connect (GREEN LED) if safety
mode is deactivated and no other QUBE is already connected.
If a new QUBE does not connect (shows AMBER signal LED instead of GREEN), then the safety
mode is enabled and the instrument is locked to another QUBE
• Open Settings and Instrument menu
• Uncheck QUBE CasTip module lock
• Save Settings AND close menu to return to the pairing screen
The new QUBE should now go through a short LED sequence as the instrument locks to it
9.8.3 Immersion Procedure and Signalisation
The QUBE CasTip offers on board signalisation.
To activate the Qube any movement of it will cause it to wake up. The connection light will illuminate
and remain green whilst paired and awake.
A CasTip sensor can then put on the probe holder and the measurement light will go green if it
correctly fitted. The correct orientation of the sensor to the notch allows for only one position for a
correct connection. This connection must show the CasTip notch and the probe holder pointing
vertically to the sky. This is important to ensure that during immersion, withdrawal and measurement
the sensor is filled correctly and remains filled:
1. In order that whilst the sensor sample is cooling and it remains partially liquid in the core that
it does not drain out
2. To avoid the possibility of steel draining out in an uncontrolled manner leading to a safety
issue
3. To avoid a void result as a liquidus arrest cannot be achieved.
The following LED colours on the measurement light are used to indicate the following dipping steps,
default timings are also shown:

Safety Mode
Comment
Disabled
When the safety mode is disabled, any single QUBE CasTip on the correct
Location ID can connect to the system. Although no other QUBE can connect
whilst a connection exists; the connection is broken when the QUBE enters
sleep mode, is removed out of range or powered down
Activated
and locked
The system has successfully locked automatically to a connected QUBE CasTip.
No other QUBE can connect, even if the connected QUBE is powered down.
Module lock must be unselected if you would like to change to another QUBE
CasTip.
Activated but
not locked
Deselect Module lock if you would like to change to another QUBE Cas Tip.
Once the setting is saved, the instrument automatically locks onto the next
connected QUBE and no other QUBE CasTip will be able to connect.
