Heating dry bath EchoTherm

compact

Very compact design for multiple use on robotic systems. Footprint the size of a standard assay plate Description The EchoTherm RIC40 is designed for use in robotic systems. As such, it is a very small (125 mm x 82 mm x 99 mm), self contained unit with a footprint the size of a standard 96-well assay plate. It runs off 12 volts DC. Power may be provided from a universal bench top power supply that takes AC inputs from 100 VAC to 260 VAC, 50/60 Hz and converts that to 12 VDC for the unit or from the robots our power source. The RIC40 is provided with an RS232 cable for connecting it to a PC or robotic system via any open serial port. The Serial Command Set is provided with the unit. It provides user information needed to control any RIC40. Any number of units can be connected to a PC or controller using any of the available serial ports. After the RIC40 has been instructed to go to a tempertaure the unit may be disconnected from the computer and the computer may be used to command other units.The RIC40 unit will retain its instructions when disconnected until told otherwise. As the unit heats or chills towards its target temperature the green LED in the unit will flash. When the target temperature is reached and stable to +/- 0.2C the LED will stop flashing and stay lit. If the user opts to run a complex temperature/time profile the RIC40 can be instructed to do so via software generated by the user. In this case the unit will need to stay connected to the PC or controller. The RIC40 uses all the standard blocks listed under ACCESSORIES
