1 Safety information
1.1 General safety information
A laboratory thermostat is used to heat, cool and circulate liquids as specified. Hazards arise from this
due to high or low temperatures, fire and the general hazards due to the application of electri c al energy.
The user is largely protected by the application of the relevant standards.
Further hazard sources can arise from the type of material for which the temperature is to be stabilized,
e.g. with the exceeding or undercutting certain temperature thresholds or with the fracture of the container and reaction with the heat transfer liquid. It is not feasible to include all possible situations. They
remain essentially subject to the judgement and responsibility of the operator.
The devices may only be used as intended, that is as described in this operating manual. This includes
operation by instructed specialist personnel.
The devices are not

− Maximum relative humidity 80 % up to 31 °C and decreasing linearl
− Overvoltage Category II and transient overvoltages according to Category II.
− Contamination Level: 2.
4.2 Device types
n into account.
y to 50 % up to 40 °C.
Heating thermostats
The type designation of the heating thermostats is composed of the prefix E for ECO, the approximate
bath volume in litres and a G for the GOLD device variant.
Example: E 10 G is a heating thermostat with a maximum bath volume of 10 litres in the GOLD device
variant.
With the heating thermostats with a transparent bath there is the prefix of ET for the ECO transparent
bath, followed by the bath volume in litres and a G for the device variant GOLD.
Example: ET 6 G is a heating thermostat with a transparent bath with a maximum bath volume of 6 litres
in the GOLD device variant.
Cooling thermostats
The type designation of cooling thermostats is composed of the prefix R (to identify the cooling device:
Refrigerated), an E for ECO, the bath volume in litres, the minimum attainable temperature (without arithmetical sign) and a G for the device variant GOLD.
Example: RE 415 G is a heating thermostat with a maximum bath volume of 4 litres and a minimum temperature of -15 °C.
4.3 Pump
All devices are equipped with a pressure pump. The pump has an output with a pivotable outflow elbow.
With the bath and circulation thermostats this is joined to the pump set for external tempering circuits. An
additional output is used for internal bath circulation. By switching the selector at the front on the control
head, the flow can be manually selected or divided between the two outputs.
In the heating range the pump operates up to viscosities of 150 mm²/s. In the controlled mode 30 mm²/s
should not be exceeded.
Using the operating menu, one of six flow-rate levels can be selected for the pump. For small bath thermostats a power level of 1 to 3 is practicable.
When operated as a circulation thermostat with an external load, a higher power level is practicable to
keep the temperature difference between the bath and external load small even at higher temperatures.
The pump connection of the outflow can be closed without any detrimental effects on the pump.

4.8 Chiller
The chiller mainly consists of a fully hermetically sealed compressor. The dissipation of the condensation
and motor heat takes place via a fan-ventilated lamellar condenser. Here, atmospheric air is drawn in at
the front of the device, heated up and discharged at the back and sides. To ensure proper air circulation
the ventilation openings must not be covered up.
The compressor is equipped with a thermal release which responds to the compressor temperature and
current consumption. The chiller is normally switched in automatically, but can also be switched in
manually via the operating menu (Ì 7.5.5).
The chill
The Cooling Thermostat RE 1050 G is equipped with the SmartCool technology which makes optimum
use of the compressor and only chills when cooling output is demanded by the controller. To achieve
this, several sensors in the cooling circuit monitor the operating status.
Cooling times for the various cooling thermostats can be taken from the cooling curves

Ways of adjusting the pump flow (Ì 6.2)
ECO GOLD
The circulation of the heat transfer liquid by the pump can be
with the aid of the selector switch at the front on the control head (flow distribution). The adjustment is continuously variable and is possible during operation.
The adjustment between internal and external circulation is only practicable with a connected
external load. A pump connection set is needed to do this. This set is included as standard
with cooling devices and with the heating devices E 4G and ET 15 G. With immersion thermostats and the remaining heating thermostats the pump connection set is available as an accessory (Ì 10).

6.2 Connection of external loads
For heating thermostats a pump connection set is available as an accessory (Ì 10) for the connection
of an external load. This set is included as standard with cooling thermostats and with the heating thermostats E 4 G and ET 15 G.
Withdraw the mains plug before cleaning, servicing, installing or removing modules or m oving
the thermostat.
a) Immersion thermostat/heating thermostat
With heating thermostats the control head must be removed first from the bath bridge (Ì 6.1).
The pump connection set can only be mounted on one side of the control head. With the control head turned round and the mains cable
pointing to the user this is then on the right (refer to illustration).
− Use a soft underlay to avoid scratches to the upper side of the
control head.
− With heating thermostats: take out the flat seal.
− Loosen the two cross-head screws on the blind flange and remove
it.
− Turn the pump output downwards for external bath circulation.
− Fit the hose section of the pump connection set onto the outflow
elbow and place the pump connections in the position of the removed blind flange.
− Push the flange with holes under the pump connections and fasten
it with two cross-head screws to the underside of the control head.
− With heating thermostats: use the flat seal. Make sure the seal is in
the correct position. On one side of the seal there are two steps

{ At higher temperatures vaporisation losses occur. In this case use a bath cover (Ì 10). Use
distilled water or pure demineralised water only after adding 0.1 g of soda (Na
carbonate)/litre of water. Otherwise there is the risk of corrosion!
The proportion of water reduces with longer working at high temperatures and the mixture be-
comes flammable (flash point 128 °C). Check the mixing ratio using a hydrometer.
− When choosing the heat transfer liquid, it must be noted that at the lower limit of the operating
temperature range a worsening of the tempering properties is to be expected due to the increasing viscosity. Therefore, only use the full operating temperature ranges where necessary.
− The working ranges of the heat carrier liquids and hoses are general figures which can be
tightened due to the operating temperature range of the devices.
− Do not use any contaminated heat transfer liquids. Contamination of the pump chamber may
lead to the pump jamming and the device then switching off.
− Never use silicone oil with silicone hoses.
Safety data sheets can be ordered on request.

7.8 Programmer
The programming function enables you to save five temperature/time programs. The programs consist of
several temperature/time segments. This also includes how often the program is to be run (loops). The
sum of all segments of all programs can be up to 150. Step changes in temperature, i.e. the time is zero,
or also temperature holding phases, i.e. the temperature at the start and end of a segment is the same,
are possible. On starting the current set value is taken as the starting value of the first segment.
If the pump level is to be changed in the course of the program, then the specified pump level is entered
in the respective program line. If the pump level is to remain unchanged, "0" is entered and it is indicated
as "---" in the display.

not processed until the actual temperature is within the tolerance band n, so that the ramp
(Segment 2) starts delayed at o.
− A tolerance range which is too tight can however also cause undesired delays. In particular
with external control the range should not be chosen too tightly. In Segment 5 a larger tol-
erance has been entered, so that the desired time of ten minutes is maintained even with
settling action p.
− Only flat (slow) ramps should be programmed where necessary with a tolerance range.
Steep ramps which lie close to the maximum possible heating or cooling rates of the thermostat may be severely delayed by a tolerance range that is too tight (here in Segment 2)

water as the heat transfer liquid) with internal control. The standard parameters are set as default also
for the temperature stabilisation of external applications with external control. Depending on the application, the configuration can be adapted from case to case as required. Also the thermal capacity and
the viscosity of the heat transfer liquid affect the control behaviour.

response to setpoint changes. From the temperature setpoint and the external temperature, which is generally measured by the external Pt100, a "master controller" determines the "internal setpoint" which is
passed to the slave controller. Its set value controls the heating and cooling.
Correcting quantity limit
If a step change in set-point temperature is specified, the optimum control might set an outflow temperature which is substantially higher than the temperature desired on the external vessel. With the correcting
quantity limit the maximum permissible deviation between the temperature on the external load and the
temperature of the outflow liquid can be limited. The limit can be set via a menu point. (Ì 7.9.2.1)

7.9.2.2 Procedure for setting the control parameters for external control
1. Activating external control (Ì 7.7.1).
2. Set the slave controller:
2.1. Parameter to auto ;
Xpf in dependence of:
− Check or adjust device type (Ì 9.3.4).
− Select heat transfer liquid with as low-viscosity and with as high a t
− set the circulation as strong and fast as possible,
− select the hose length as short as possible, e.g. 2 x 1 m,
− hose cross-sectional area as large as possible, e.g. ½ inch,
− set the throughput through the external load as large as possible.
2.2. Set Xpf:
− With a tendency to oscillate with a short period of oscillation (e.g. 30s) Î Xpf smaller, otherwise
larger,
− with poor thermal coupling and a large mass to temper Î large (e.g. 2...5, possibly even larger),
− with good thermal coupling and a small mass to temper Î small (e.g. 0.2...0.7,
− if fast temperature changes are required, external baths should be controlled if possible with in-
ternal control. Otherwise choose Xpf to be very small (0.05 ... 0.1).
3. Setting the master controller (PID controller):
− First start with Auto, then possibly continue with manual.
3.1. Setting Kpe:
− With a tendency to oscillate (long period of oscillation, e.g. 10 min) Î Kpe larger, otherwise
smaller,
3.2. Setting Tne/ Tve/ Tde:
− Generally quite high values (Tne = 70 s ... 200 s; Tve = 50 s ... 150 s),
− with smaller values Î faster transient responses, otherwise slower transient responses and
therefore less oscillation,
− Tve: To reduce transients Î increase Tve, otherwise vice versa,
− Tde (damping for Tve): generally approx. 10 % of Tve.
4. Correcting quantity limit (or outflow temperature limit) (Ì 7.9.2) and temperature limits (Til/Tih) (Ì

8.3 Analogue module
Analogue Module (LAUDA order no. LRZ 912) has two inputs and two outputs,
which are brought out to a six-pole DIN socket to Namur Recommendation
(NE28). The inputs and outputs can be set independently of one another as a
0...20 mA and 4...10 V interface, Various functions can be selected for the inputs
and outputs. Accordingly, the signal on the input is interpreted differently and different information appears on the output. In addition the interfaces can be freely
scaled according to the set function.
20 V DC is available for measurement transducers.
The following values can be defined via the inputs:
− setpoint temperature with the function Setpoint temperature.
− external actual temperature with the function Ext. actual temperature..
− Pump power with the function Pump pow..
The following values can be output via the outputs:
− setpoint temperature with the function Setpoint temperature.
− The temperature controlled: Controlled temp. .
− Actual temperature (bath temperature): Internal temp. .
− External actual temperature of the Pt100: Temp.extern Pt100.
− External actual temperature of the analogue input: Temp.extern analog.
− External actual temperature of the serial interface: Temp.extern serial.
− Set value: Set value.
− Pump power: Pump power.
− Pump speed: Pump speed.
In addition the interfaces can be freely scaled according to the set function with minimal value and
maximal value.
For example: 4 mA corresponds to 0 °C and 20 mA corresponds to 100 °C.
− Accuracy of the inputs and outputs after calibration better than 0.1 % of full scale.
A six-pole round connector with screw lock and contact assignment according to DIN EN 60130-9 or
IEC 130-9 are required.
A suitable coupling plug is obtainable under the catalogue no. EQS 057.

9.3.4 Displaying and changing the device type
The device type (Ì 4.2) without the suffix "G" (GOLD) is shown in the menu under SetupÆ
Device StatusÆType.
A type change can be carried out here in this menu point.
The type change is linked to a 3 second key depression delay to prevent an unintentional type change. In
this way all parameters are reinitialised, i.e. even adjusted control parameters are lost.
Automatic adaptation of Tmax to the selected device type, i.e. with the ECO GOLD thermostat Tmax =
202 °C and with the ECO GOLD with transparent bath Tmax = 102 °C.
Following this, Tmax must be re-entered manually (Ì 7.4.1), because otherwise the device goes into the
tatus (error message in ECO GOLD "T max diff. Ctrl-Safety".

Cleaning of condenser (Ì 9.4.3) Cooling thermostat
If the heat transfer liquid becomes contaminated or degenerated, it should be renewed (Ì 6.3 and 6.4).
If necessary, the heat transfer liquid should be checked for fitness for use (e.g. with a change of application),
or at least once yearly. Further use of the heat transfer liquid is only permissible if the inspection indicates
this.
The heat transfer liquids should be inspected according to DIN 51529.
9.4.3 Cleaning the condenser
− The cooling circuit is largely maintenance-free. Depending on the operating time and the amount of dust
present in the device environment, remove the dust
from the condenser at intervals of two weeks or longer.
− To do this, remove the front grille by grasping it at the
bottom with both hands and pulling the grille to the
front.
− Then brush down the condenser and, where necessary, blow it out with compressed air.
− To avoid damage, remove the front grille slowly and carefully.
