Safety is paramount, featuring a low-level sensor to prevent dry-running and an autostart function that ensures the unit resumes operation automatically after a power interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the main advantage of the KISS 106A's transparent bath?
The polycarbonate bath allows for full visual monitoring of your samples or test tubes while they are being heated, which is critical for many biological and chemical analyses.

2. Can I use this circulator for external temperature control?
Yes, with an optional pump adapter and M16x1 connections, the KISS 106A can be used to control the temperature of external, closed-loop applications such as refractometers or small condensers.

3. How does the 200-240V power supply affect the heating performance?
The heating power scales with the input voltage; at 200V, the output is approximately 1.5 kW, while at 240V, the unit reaches its maximum heating capacity of 2.1 kW.

4. Is it possible to reach temperatures lower than 25°C?
While the heating range starts at 25°C, you can reach temperatures as low as 15°C by using the optional cooling coil connected to a laboratory tap water supply.

5. Is this model safe to use with flammable fluids?
Yes, the KISS 106A is rated Safety Class III (FL) according to DIN 12876, meaning it includes an adjustable overtemperature limit and a low-level sensor for the safe use of flammable liquids.
