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

1.1. Description

The JULABO immersion coolers FT200, FT 400 and FT900 are employed to cool liquids for working temperatures ranging from +50 °C to -90 °C, such as in: Dewar vessels, beakers, or other containers in conjunction with heating circulators for continuous countercooling or for dry-ice substitution. The JULABO FD200 Flow-Through Cooler is employed to cool liquids in closed circuits. This unit is generally installed at the intake of a heating circulator to draw heat away from the circulating bath liquid. Models FD200, FT200 and FT400 are provided with a handle for portable use. Model FT900 is 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 model FT900 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.

 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.
