1. INTRODUCTION
Precision General Purpose Water Baths are
designed for a wide variety of serological research
procedures as well as a broad range of other
general laboratory applications. Operation and
maintenance of these baths are covered in this
manual; unless specifically noted otherwise, the
information provided applies to all available models.
Precision water baths feature a one-piece, deep-
drawn stainless steel chamber with welded and
painted galvanized steel outer body. Depending
on the model, either one or two heaters are attached
to the bottom of the bath chamber. For faster
temperature recovery and reduced power
consumption, the baths are equipped with a
stainless steel cover (except Model 181, which is
equipped with a plastic cover). This cover must be
in place to reach and maintain 100°C.
All units (except Model 180) also feature an
adjustable support shelf which may be set at three
different height levels by simply changing the
position of the legs. Model 180 is equipped with a
non-adjustable diffuser shelf.
As the ultimate user of this apparatus, it is your

unit in service. Awareness of the stated cautions
and warnings, and compliance with recommended
operating parameters - together with maintenance
requirements - are important for safe and
satisfactory operation. The unit should be used for
its intended application; alterations or modifications

recipient as follows:
Visible Loss or Damage: Note any external
evidence of loss or damage on the freight bill, or
express receipt, and have it signed by the carrier's
agent. Failure to adequately describe such external
evidence of loss or damage may result in the
carrier's refusing to honor your damage claim. The
form required to file such a claim will be supplied by
