Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cole-Parmer® Polystat® Standard Immersion Circulator. It is intended for the
precise temperature control of suitable liquids in a reservoir. Extremely easy to use and maintain, it
combines design innovation with highly intuitive operation to deliver convenient and versatile liquid
temperature control for a wide range of applications.
WARNING: Circulating Baths are not intended for directly controlling the temperature of foods,
pharmaceuticals, medicines, or other objects which may be ingested by or injected in humans or
animals. Any such objects must be isolated from contact with the bath fluid and bath surfaces.
Here are some of the features that make the Standard Immersion Circulator so user-friendly:
• Simple, intuitive operation
• Displays actual and set point temperature simultaneously
• Powerful pump, easy flow adjustment
• Attaches securely to both flat and rounded tank walls
• Converts any tank or vessel up to 28 liters into a reliable circulating bath
• Fully enclosed housing prevents direct contact with pump and heater, yet provides quick
access for inspection and cleaning
• Suitable for use with Class I non-flammable fluids per DIN 12876-1
It will take you very little time to get your new Standard Immersion Circulator installed and running, This
User Guide is designed to guide you quickly through the process. We recommend that you read it
thoroughly before you begin.

Safety Recommendations
To prevent injury to personnel and/or damage to property, always follow your workplace’s safety
procedures when operating this equipment. You should also comply with the following safety
recommendations:
WARNING:
• This Immersion Circulator is suitable only for use with Class I non-flammable fluids (per DIN
12876-1).
• Be aware of the chemical hazards that may be associated with the bath fluid used. Observe all
safety warnings for the fluids used as well as those contained in the material safety data sheet.
• Use only recommended bath fluids; see Technical Information in the rear of this manual for
recommendations.
Use only non-acid bath fluids.
WARNING:
• Always connect the power cord on this Circulator to a grounded (3-prong) power outlet. Make
certain that the outlet is the same voltage and frequency as your unit.
• Never operate the Circulator with a damaged power cord.
• Always turn the Circulator OFF and disconnect mains power before performing any maintenance
or service.
WARNING:
• Never operate the Circulator without bath fluid in the reservoir. Periodically check the reservoir to
ensure that the liquid depth is within acceptable levels. Always refill the reservoir using the same
bath fluid that is already in the reservoir. Bath oil must not contain any water contaminants and
should be preheated to the actual bath temperature before adding as there is an explosion hazard
at high temperatures.
• Turn electrical power to the unit OFF and remove Immersion Circulator from reservoir before
draining. Always drain all fluid from the reservoir before moving or lifting. Be sure to follow your
organization’s procedures and practices regarding the safe lifting and relocation of heavy objects.
WARNING:
• Always allow the bath fluid to cool to ambient temperature before draining.
• Always keep within the 85°C maximum operating temperature limit if using a polycarbonate open
bath tank
WARNING: It is the user’s responsibility to properly decontaminate the unit in the event hazardous
materials are spilled on exterior or interior surfaces. Consult manufacturer if there is any doubt
regarding the compatibility of decontamination or cleaning agents.
