ADVANCED Features
Offset Elimination
This feature uses “Setpoint Trim” to
ensure the block temperature stabilizes
at the temperature as measured by the
reference probe not the internal control
sensor

30. Slide 30
ADVANCED Models
Example
On a Pegasus the input controller is set
to 1000°C
The Pegasus settles with the controller
showing 1000°C but the reference probe
measuring 1001°C

31. Slide 31
ADVANCED Models
When Offset Elimination is enabled
the controller set point is trimmed
down by 1°C
The insert stabilises as 1000°C

FAQ
Are the Accessories Interchangeable?
The inserts, liquid containers, reference probes from the
"old" models can be used with the 4000 Series. The LIG
Kit for the Europa / Venus / Calisto and the carry case
have changed
The Surface Sensor Kits and Jupiter / Pegasus
Blackbody kits now have longer leads on the sensors; to
allow for the connectors being on the front rather than
top of the case.
Do they cost more?
No, the Basic and Site Models cost the same as the
earlier version. The carry case price has increased as it
has been upgraded to have wheels and a pull out handle
