Operating manual
1. Intended use
JULABO immersion coolers have been designed for temperature application to specific fluids
in a bath tank.
For example: Dewar vessels, beakers, or other containers in conjunction
with heating circulators for continuous countercooling
or for dry-ice substitution.
foods, semi-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 immersion coolers are operated via the 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 control adapts the cooling supply to the thermal
requirements of the bath.
Electrical connection:
Connection for Pt100 external sensor for temperature measurement and
control.
Model FT402 is provided with a handle for portable use.
The Models FT902, FT903 are equipped with four castors. Two of the
castors include locking levers that should be pressed down after setting up
the unit to prevent it from moving.
The immersion probe is connected to the instrument with a flexible, specially
insulated tube. On models FT902, FT903 the immersion probe is also
flexible and may be adjusted precisely to different positions within the vessel.
2. Operator responsibility – Safety instructions
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.
4
Immersion Coolers
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:
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 the 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. 35 °C, min. 5 °C.
Permissible relative humidity: 50% (35 °C).
Do not store the unit in an aggressive atmosphere. Protect the unit from contamination.
Do not expose the unit to sunlight.
Appropriate operation
Only qualified personnel is authorized to configure, install, maintain, or repair the circulator.
Persons who operate the circulator must be trained in the particular tasks by qualified
personnel. The summarized user guidance (short manual) and the specification table with
information on individual parameters are sufficient for this.

Operator responsibility – Safety instructions
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.

2.1. Disposal
The product may be used with oil as bath fluid. These oils fully or partially consist of mineral
oil or synthetic oil. For disposal, follow the instructions in the material safety data sheets.
This unit contains the refrigerants R134a R-404A, and R-23, which at this time are not
considered harmful to the ozone layer. However, over the long operating period of the unit,
disposal rules may change. Therefore, only qualified personnel should handle the disposal.

• Do not stay in the area below the unit.
• Make sure you read and understand all instructions and safety precautions
listed in this manual before installing or operating your unit.
• Do not touch the immersion probe if it is frosted.
• Do not bend the tube connection of the immersion probe
• Keep the air intake and exhaust grids free of obstructions. (Maintain a
sufficient distance from all surrounding surfaces!)
• Do not move the unit from the position where it was set up during
operation.
• Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power
source before performing any service or maintenance procedures, or
before moving the unit.
• Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power
source before cleaning the unit.
• Transport the unit with care.
• Sudden jolts or drops may cause damage in the interior of the unit.
• Observe all warning labels.
• Never remove warning labels.
• Never operate units with damaged mains power cables.

air ventilation to ensure the room does not warm up excessively
because of the heat the instrument rejects to the environment. (Max.
permissible ambient temperature: 35 °C).
For a fault (leakage) in the refrigeration system, the standard EN 378
prescribes a certain room space to be available for each kg of
refrigerant.
> For 0.25 kg of refrigerant R134a, 1 m3 of space is required.
> For 0.52 kg of refrigerant R404A, 1 m3 of space is required.
> For 0.68 kg of refrigerant R23, 1 m3 of space is required.
• The instrument should be set up at a frost-proof and dry location.
• The ambient temperature must not exceed 35 °C.
• Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear venting grids.
• Do not set up the unit in the immediate vicinity of heat sources and do
not expose to sun light.
• Before operating the unit after transport, wait about one hour after
setting it up. This will allow any oil that has accumulated laterally
during transport to flow back down thus ensuring maximum cooling
