1. Intended use
JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath t ank .
The units feature pump connections for temperature control of external systems (loop circuit).
luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products.
Direct temperature control means unprotected contact of the object with the bath
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 VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY. Three menu keys facilitate adjusting
setpoints, warning and safety functions and menu functions.
Temperature- and time-dependent processes can be stored and executed using the
integrated programmer.
The control electronics including “ICC - Intelligent Cascade Control” automatically
adjust the heat supply to the thermal requirements of the bath.
The TCF - Temperature Control Features give the user access to all important
temperature control parameters. This means full control of the control behavior at all
times and the ability to manually adjust or adapt the controls to the specific
application.
Absolute Temperature Calibration (ATC3) provides high temperature stability at all
points 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 in the
bath over the entire temperature range.
Electrical connections:
The serial interface, switchable from RS232 to RS485, allows modern process
technology without additional interface.
Connection for Pt100 external sensor for external temperature measurement and
control.
Alarm output for external alarm message or control of JULABO refrigerating baths
or solenoid valve (cooling water).
The electronic module (option) provides 3 further analog connections (alarm input,
standby input, recorder output, progr ammer in put).
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 VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY.
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
shutdown of the main functional elements.
Intelligent pump system: The pump capacity (electronically adjustable via the motor
speed) enables to adapt to varying conditions for internal and external temperature
applications.

If the circulator is operated without external system, close the pump connector (22)
Temperature application to external, closed systems
The circulator is used for temperature application to external,
closed systems (loop circuit) with simultaneous temperature
application in the circulator bath.
• Unscrew the M16x1 collar nuts on the pump connectors with
a 19 mm (3/4“) wrench and remove the sealing disks. Using
the collar nuts, screw on the tubing connection fittings (for
tubing 8 mm or 12 mm in diameter) delivered with the unit
and tighten firmly. (Pressure pump: 22, suction pump: 21)
• Push on the tubings, and secure with tube clamps.
• Attach the tubings to the connectors of the external closed
system, e.g., an instrument with a pressure-resistant
temperatur e jacket or a temperature coil, and fasten with
tube clamps to prevent slipping.
Temperature application to external, open systems
The circulator is equipped with both a pressure and suction pump
for external temperature application in open systems.
Differing flow rates of the pressure and suction pumps should be
compensated. To maintain a constant liquid level, the JULABO
„D+S“ Level Adapter is recommended for the external bath tank.
The flow rate of the pressure pump will be then regulated by a
built-in float device. The liquid level may be changed by a height
adjustment on the „D+S“ Level Adapter.
Accessory: „D+S“ Level Adapter Order No. 8 970 410
Important:
The liquid level should be equal in the internal and external
baths (absolute height).
If you take out samples (for example Erlenmeyer flasks) from

At high working temperatures the tubing used for temperature application and cooling
water supply represents a danger source.
A damaged tubing line may cause hot bath fluid to be pumped out within a short time.
This may result in:
• Burning of skin
• Difficulties in breathing due to hot atmosphere
Safety recommendations
• Employ suitable connecting tubing.
• Make sure that the tubing is securely attached.
• Avoid sharp bends in the tubing, and maintain a sufficient distance from
surrounding walls.
• Regularly check the tubing for material defects (e.g. for cracks).

5.4. Filling / draining
Notice:
•Pay attention to the thermal expansion of bath oil during heating to avoid
overflowing of the liquid.
•Do not drain the bath fluid while it is hot!
Recommendation: Temperature range 5 °C to 40 °C
Check the temperature of the bath fluid prior to draining (by switching the unit on
for a short moment, for example).
•Store and dispose the used bath fluid according to the laws for environmental
Filling
Take care that no liquid enters the interior of the circulator.
• Recommended maximum filling level with water as bath fluid:
30 mm below the tank rim
• Recommended maximum filling level with bath oils:
40 mm below the tank rim
After filling, immerse the samples in the bath or place the lid on
the bath, in case the opening is not to be used.
The circulator provides an early warning system for low level that
may be triggered when changing samples in the bath.
Draining
• Turn off the circulator and cooling machine.
• Hold the venting grid, pull out and remove.
• Slide a short piece of tube onto the drain port (11)
and hold it into a pail.
• Unscrew the drain tap (23) and empty the unit
completely.
• Tighten the drain tap.

Selftuning:
When performing a selftuning for the controlled system (temperature
application system), the control parameters Xp, Tn and Tv are
automatically determined and stored.
Possible parameters:
OFF - no selftuning
The control parameters ascertained during the last identification are
used for control purposes.
ONCE - single selftuning (factory setting)
The instrument performs a single selftuning of the controlled system
after each start with the key or after receiving a start
command via the interface.
ALWAYS - continual selftuning
The instrument performs a selftuning of the controlled system
whenever a new setpoint is to be reached.
Use this setting only when the temperature application system
changes permanently.

Compensation of the remaining control deviation due to proportional
regulation. An insufficient reset time may cause instabilities. Excessive
reset times will result in unnecessary prolongation of compensation of the
control difference.
Lead time >Tv< (Differential component)
The differential component reduces the transient time. An insufficient lead
time will prolong the time required for compensation of disturbance
effects and cause high overshooting during run-up. An excessive lead
time could cause instabilities (oscillations)
