Operating manual

1.Intended use

JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath tank.

The units feature pump connections for temperature control of external systems (loop circuit).

JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi-luxury 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 circulators are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The implemented microprocessor technology allows to set and to store different values that can be indicated on the MULTI-DISPLAY (LED). Three menu keys facilitate adjusting setpoints, warning and safety functions and menu functions.

The PID temperature control adapts the heat supplied to the thermal requirements of the bath.

PID2

Absolute Temperature Calibration (ATC3) provides a high temperature

stability in the bath. With the 3-point calibration an offset is adjusted at three

 

temperatures to ensure an accurate temperature pattern at the selected spot

ATC3

in the bath over the full temperature range.

Electrical connections:

 

The serial interface RS232 allows modern process technology without

RS232

additional interface.

Alarm output for external alarm message or control of JULABO refrigerating

 

baths or solenoid valve (cooling water).

 

The excess temperature protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010 is a

 

safety installation independent from the control circuit. This protection can be

 

indicated and set on the MULTI-DISPLAY (LED).

 

The early warning system for low level signals that bath fluid needs to be

 

refilled before the low level protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010

 

causes a complete shut-down of the main functional elements.

 

The pump capacity (electronically adjustable via the motor speed) enables to

 

adapt to varying conditions for internal and external temperature

SMART

applications.

PUMP

The circulator conforms to the relevant requirements specified by European

 

guidelines.

Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations

2.Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations

The products of JULABO ensure safe operation when installed, operated, and maintained according to common safety regulations. This section explains the potential dangers that may arise when operating the circulator and also specifies the most important safety precautions to preclude these dangers as far as possible.

The operator is responsible for the qualification of the personnel operating the units.

The personnel operating the units should be regularly instructed about the dangers involved with their job activities as well as measures to avert these dangers.

Make sure all persons tasked with operating, installing, and maintaining the unit have read and understand the safety information and operating instructions.

When using hazardous materials or materials that could become hazardous, the circulator may be operated only by persons who are absolutely familiar with these materials and the circulator. These persons must be fully aware of possible risks.

If you have any questions concerning the operation of your unit or the information in this manual, please contact us!

Safety instructions for the operator:

You have received a product designed for industrial use. Nevertheless, avoid strikes to the housing, vibrations, damage to the operating-element panel (keypad, display), and contamination.

Make sure the product is checked for proper condition regularly (depending on the conditions of use). Regularly check (at least every 2 years) the proper condition of the mandatory, warning, prohibition and safety labels.

Make sure that the mains power supply has low impedance to avoid any negative effects on instruments being operated on the same mains.

This unit is designed for operation in a controlled electromagnetic environment. This means that transmitting devices (e.g., cellular phones) should not be used in the immediate vicinity.

Magnetic radiation may affect other devices with components sensitive to magnetic fields (e.g., monitors). We recommend maintaining a minimum distance of 1 m.

Permissible ambient temperature: max. 40 °C, min. 5 °C.

Permissible relative humidity: 50% (40 °C).

Appropriate operation

Only qualified personnel is authorized to perform configuration, installation, maintenance and repairs of the circulator.

Routine operation can also be carried out by untrained personnel who should however be instructed by trained personnel.

Use:

The bath can be filled with flammable materials. Fire hazard!

There might be chemical dangers depending on the bath medium used.

Observe all warnings for the used materials (bath fluids) and the respective instructions

(safety data sheets).

Insufficient ventilation may result in the formation of explosive mixtures. Only use the unit in well ventilated areas.

Only use recommended materials (bath fluids). Only use non-acid and non corroding materials.

When using hazardous materials or materials that could become hazardous, the operator must affix the enclosed safety labels to the front of the unit so they are highly visible:

If this unit is intended for use within the United States of America, all 3 warning labels must be affixed to the housing of the unit prior to use.

Directions for the positioning of the individual warning labels are enclosed with the warning labels included in the delivery. Warning labels must be easily visible to users.

Information about the used refrigerants

The Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases applies to all systems which contain fluorinated refrigerants and replaces (EC) 842/2006.

The aim of the Regulation is to protect the environment by reducing emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Among other things it regulates the emission limits, use and recovery of these substances. It also contains requirements for operators of systems which require / contain these substances to function.

Under Regulation 517/2014, the operator of a system of this nature has the following duties:

The operator must ensure that the equipment is checked at regular intervals for leaks.

These intervals depend on the CO2 equivalent of the system. This is calculated from the refrigerant fill volume and type of refrigerant. The CO2 equivalent of your system is shown on the model plate.

The operator undertakes to have maintenance, repair, service, recovery and recycling work carried out by certified personnel who have been authorized by JULABO.

All such work must be documented. The operator must keep records and archive them for at least five years. The records must be submitted to the relevant authority on request.

Refer to the text of the Regulation for further information.

Notice:

Cooling water circuit

 

Risk of oil leaking from the refrigeration system (compressor) of the recirculating cooler into the cooling water in case of a fault in the cooling water circuit!

Observe the laws and regulations of the water distribution company valid in the location where the unit is operated.

Notice:

Danger of corrosion of heat exchanger due to unsuitable quality of cooling water.

Due to its high content of lime, hard water is not suitable for cooling and causes scale in the heat exchanger.

Ferrous water or water containing ferrous particles will cause formation of rust even in heat exchangers made of stainless steel.

Chlorinated water will cause pitting corrosion in heat exchangers made of stainless steel.

Due to their corrosive characteristics, distilled water and deionized water are unsuitable and will cause corrosion of the bath.

Due to its corrosive characteristics, sea water is not suitable.

Due to its microbiological (bacterial) components, which settle in the heat exchanger, untreated and unpurified river water and water from cooling towers is unsuitable.

Avoid particulate matter in cooling water.

Avoid putrid water.
