RC2200 series hot plates have porcelain coated stainless steel top plates that provide chemical and stain resistance. Temperature stability of the RC2200 units is ±5°C (9°F) over the operating temperature range. Embedded heating elements evenly transfer heat to the top plate for maximum temperature uniformity (within ±10°C (18°F) at 150°C (300°F)). A percentage input controller provides infinite temperature selection. Chemically resistant cover protects line cord from the hot plate to remote control. Control can be placed up to five feet (1.5 meters) away from unit. Stainless steel case offers maximum resistance to corrosion. Power light indicates when control is operating. Unit includes a five foot (1.5 meters) long three-wire cord, and plug. Large 12" x 12" and 12" x 24" top plate surfaces accommodate up to 40 lb (18.1 kg) loads. Recommended for use with glass vessels only.
