Preparations
• Setting up:
- Place the unit on an even, stable, clean, nonslip, dry
and fireproof surface.
- Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and
rear side.
- The place for installation should be large enough and
provide sucient air ventilation to ensure the room
does not warm up excessively because of the heat
from device radiates to the environment.
- Do not set up the device in the immediate vicinity of
heat sources and do not expose to sun light.
- Cooling machine, pump motor and electronics produce intrinsic heat that is dissipated via the venting
grids! Never cover these venting grids!
Note: After setting up the device, wait at least one hour
before starting the operation to avoid the damage to the
cooling system.
• Connecting the tubings:
- Unscrew the union nuts and stoppers using a wrench
(SW 19) from the pump connector IN (9) and OUT (10).

- Via a hose to the “Overflow” connector, overflowing
fluid can be dir
ected into a suitable vessel. The vessel should be positioned lower than the “Overflow”
connector.
In case of closed external system, if there is in any case
no risk of exceeding the maximum fluid level, you can
close the “Overflow” connector with the included
overflow cap. This minimizes the energy loss and protects, in case of long-term applications with low temperatures and high humidity, against unwanted water
input and the associated volume increase.
Check fluid heat expansion!
-
Connect the “Backflow” connector to IKA
calorimeter with a suitable hose.
When IKA calorimeter is not connected, please close
the “Backflow” connector with included backflow cap.
