JULABO recirculating coolers have been designed for temperature application to specific fluids. The
pump connections can be used for cooling applications in an external circuit at a constant temperature.
JULABO water baths are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semiluxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products. Direct temperature
control means unprotected contact of the object with the bath medium (bath fluid).
1.1. Description
; The recirculating coolers are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The
implemented microprocessor technology allows to set and to store the setpoint that
can be indicated on the LED temperature display.
; The PID temperature regulation is used to withdraw heat from the bath fluid by
means of the cooling machine and to automatically regulate the required need.
; Electrical connections:

operated via the computer.
In general, the computer (master) sends commands to the recirculating cooler
(slave). The recirculating cooler sends data (including error messages) only
when the computer sends a query.
In remote control mode:
After a power interruption the order to start and all values which have to be
adjusted must be resent from the personal computer via the interface.
AUTOSTART is not possible.
A transfer sequence consists of:
x command out/in command
x space (; Hex: 20) out/in command
x parameter (the character separating decimals in a group is the
period) out command
x end of file (; Hex: 0D) out/in command
x The response (data string) after an in command is always followed by a
line feed (LF, Hex: 0A).
Important times for a command transmission:
To ensure a safe data transfer, the time gap between two commands should
be at least 250 ms.
The recirculating cooler automatically responds to an in command with a data
string followed by a LF (Line Feed). The next command should only be sent
after 10 ms.
The commands are divided into in or out commands.
in commands: asking for parameters to be displayed
out commands: setting parameters
The out commands are valid only in remote control mode.
Examples:
Set the working temperature to15.5 °C: out_sp_00
Ask for the working temperature in_sp_00
Response from the recirculating cooler: 15.5
Recirculating cooler in „OFF“ state.
Recirculating cooler in keypad control mode.
Recirculating cooler in „r OFF“ state.
Recirculating cooler in remote control mode.
