Contents
The following items have been inc l ude d with your Chiller:
• Operator’s Manual
• Two sets of Inlet/Outlet Adapters: ½ inch male NPT x ½ inch hose barb and ½ inch male NPT x 5/8 inch hose
NOTE: The unit may be located at a level below that of the equipment being cooled. As long as the process
remains closed, overflow will not occur when adding cooling fluid to t
he unit's reservoir.
Site Requirements
Ambient Temperature and Relative Humidity
The Chiller is designed fo r indoor installation in ambient temperatures between 16° and 35°C (60° and 95°F);
relative humidity should not exceed 80% (non-condensing).
Location
Install the Chiller on a strong, level surface as close to possible to the process requiring cooling. It should not be
installed closer than 4 feet (1.4 meters) to a heat-generating source. If possible, the unit should be located near a
suitable drain to prevent flooding in the event of leaks. Do not place it where corrosive fumes, excessive moisture,
excessive dust, or high room temperatures are present.
Position the Chiller as close as possible to the power distribution panel. Avoid voltage drops by using a properly
grounded power source wired to meet electrical data plate requirements. The use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
Clearance
Allow adequate clearance on the front, sides, and rear of the Chiller for access to connections and components.
The front and rear vents of the Chiller must be a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) away from walls or vertical
surfaces so air flow is not restricted.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the tubing and fittings connected to the Chiller are compatible with the
fluid, temperature, and pressure being used.
• All external piping, tubing, or hoses should be run full size to limit the potential for external pressure drops.
The use of quick-connect fittings is not recommended, as they can cause substantial pressure drops.
• Materials of construction should be compatible with the fluid being used as well as the temperature and
pressure at which the unit will operate.
• Where applicable, always use a back-up wrench when making piping connections to the Chiller.
• Pressure Ratings – Hoses should be able to withstand the highest pressure that they will encounter (100 psi
/ 6.9 bar).
• Flexible Tubing – Avoid tubing that will expand and increase fluid volume when operating at the desired
pressure.
• Hose Diameter – The fittings on the Chiller’s process fluid lines are female 0.5 in NPT. The facility water fluid
inlets and outlets on water-cooled models are female 0.75 inch NPT.
• Facility Water (water-cooled models only) – Should be clean and well maintained. Ideally, the facility water
should be tested monthly to ensure a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. Add algaecide if algae growth is
present.
When Chillers with the standard magnetic drive centrifugal pump are connected to an external
apparatus with a built
-in shutoff, an external bypass loop assembly (Part No. 510-147) may be needed if
operating below 20°C (68°F). This bypass assembly continues flow circulation to and from the pump even
though the main flow to the external apparatus has been blocked.
WARNING:
On units requiring facility water, those connections must be made by a licensed plumber.
CAUTION: The incoming cooling water pressure should be 20 psi / 1.4 bar minimum and 150 psi / 10.3 bar
maximum.
The Chiller has two internally threa ded fittings on the rear of the inst rument housing for the process water
connections. Two sets of adapters are supplied with the unit for connecting these fittings to the process piping.
The direction of the flow through the system can be controlled by the way the connections are made. Fluid is
drawn into the Chiller through the “Inlet” connection; fluid is pumped out of the Chiller through the “Outlet”
connection.
Facility Water Connections
Water-cooled Ch illers have two internally threa ded fittings on the rear of the instrument housing for the facilit y
water connections. The c ooling water supply should be con nected to the facility wat er inlet on the Chiller. The
facility water outlet on the Chiller should be connected to the appropriate return or drain, as required.
The cooling water supply may be from city tap water or a cooling tower. Th e incoming water pressure should be
between 20 and 150 psi / 1.4 and 10.3 bar.
Reservoir Drain
A connection is provided for the reservoir’s gravity drain.
Reservoir Vent
A reservoir vent assembly is provided with Chillers equipped with the heater option to relieve pressure within the
reservoir as coolant heats and expands. A connection is provided on the rear of the Chiller for the vent assembly.
Use only fluids that comply with safety, health, and equipment compatibility requirements. Read the safety
data sheet for the fluid being used carefully before use.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE
Caustic, corrosive, or flammable liquids
Automotive anti-freeze*
Hard tap water*
Deionized water with a specific resistance >1 meg ohm
Concentrations of acids or bases
Solutions with hali des: chlorides, fluorides, bromides , iodides, or sulfur
Chlorine bleach
Glycerine
Syltherm fluids
* At temperatures above 40°C, additives or mineral deposits can adhere to the heater. If deposits are allowed to build up,
the heater may overheat and fail. Higher temperatures and higher concentrations of additives will hasten mineral
deposits
WARNING: Operation below 20°C (68°F) requires antifreeze in the circulation fluid. Do not use automotive
antifreeze as the additives m
ay be harmful to the Chiller's wetted parts.
Suitable Fluids
The Chiller can accommodate a variety of coolant fluids (water, glycol mixtures, etc). For most applications above 20°C (68°F),
distilled water is satisfactory. For operation below 20°C (68°F), the Chiller must be protected with an antifreeze solution.
Ethylene glycol (laboratory grade) and water in a 50/50 mixture is satisfactory from +20° to -15°C (68° to 5°F). Select a fluid
that is compatible with the Chiller’s wetted parts (brass, bronze, stainless steel, EPDM rubber, nylon, PVC).
Do not plug unit into the electrical outlet until it is ready for startup.
Always connect the power cord on this unit to a grounded power outl
et. Make certain that the outlet is the
same voltage and frequency as your unit (see identification label). Never operate the unit with a damaged
power cord.
Always turn the unit OFF and disconnect mains power before performing any maintenance or service a
s
hazardous voltages exist within chassis components.
WARNING:
Make sure the equipment's main power switch is in the OFF position before connecting or
disconnecting electrical power from the unit. Follow all applicable electrical and safety codes and procedures
when connecting power to the unit. Electrical connections should be made by an authorized electrical
installer.
WARNING:
DO NOT apply power until the unit is ready for Startup.
NOTE: In order for the Chiller to properly recognize the presence of the external temperature probe, the
probe must be connected to the unit before power is applied..
Connect the power cord (if) supplied with the Chiller to an appropriate electrical outlet.
Phase Requirements (if applicable)
For 3-phase units, be sure to connect in proper sequence, ie.: L1, L2, and L3. These Chillers are designed with a
junction box on the rear of the unit to which you can connect the electrical power supply conduit. Be sure to
provide suitable conduit strain relief and grounding.
3-phase units are equipped with a phase monitor that prevents startup if phase sequence is incorrect. The Chiller
will turn OFF in the event of a loss of one phase and/or prevent operation if there is a voltage mismatch between
any two phases greater than 8%.
Optional Signal Inputs/Outputs
Ambient / External Temperature Probe
Allows control of the cooling fluid temperature using an external temperature measurement (ambient
room/machine temperature or process temperature). A 9-pin connector is provided for connecting the
ambient/external tracking probe.
RS-232 / RS-485 Serial Output
Allows remote control the Chiller and/or the output of temperature readings to an external auxiliary device. The
maximum communications distance for Chillers equipped with the RS232 option is 50 feet (15 meters). The
maximum distance for units equipped with the RS485 option is 4000 feet (1200 meters). A 9-pin D-connector is

working electrical power and that circuit breaker on the rear of the Chiller is in the ON position.
2. Press the Power Button on the front panel. The system startup sequence will begin and proceed as follows:
• The pump will turn on and fluid will begin circulating through the system.
• The set point temperature will appear briefly on the Temperature Display; after a few seconds, it will be
replaced by the actual fluid temperature.
• 15 to 20 seconds after power up, the compressor will begin operating.
3. Check for leaks.
4. With the pump running, the reservoir’s fluid level will drop as the process and/or process cooling lines fill
with fluid. Slowly add fluid to the reservoir until the liquid level remains stable.
The Chiller incorporates a special "lockout" feature that can be enabled to prevent unauthorized o
r
accidental set point and other operational changes. This feature is described in detail under
"Enabling and
Disabling the Local Lockout."
It should not be enabled until all operational paramet ers hav e been set.
IMPORTANT: All user settings, except baud rate and calibration offset, return to the original factory defaults
when the temperature unit is changed. The Chiller's temperature set point and various alarm settings should
be reset to desired values.
NOTE: Temperature set point cannot be changed when the local lockout is enabled or remote temperature
control is installed and enabled. It allows the user to check or continuously display either the Chiller's internal
outlet fluid temperature or the external ambient/process temperature.
NOTE:
This section applies only wh
en the ambient tracking probe or remote temperature control is installed

Locknut
Chillers with a positive displacement or turbine pump incorporate an automatic safety to maintain outlet pressure
below a valve-regulated pressure. This valve is adjustable and is located inside the Chiller housing.
Service should only be performed by fully qualified personnel. Extreme caution is required as
To access the high-pressure bypass valve, remove the access panel on the top of the unit (rear left).
The high-pressure bypass is adjusted as follows:
1. Set the low flow rate alarm value to zero (see Setting Operationa l Parameters, Minim um Flow Rate). This will
prevent the unit from activating the flow alarm while you are adjusting the maximum pressure setting.
2. Com pletely block the Chiller’s outlet flow. This should cause the outlet pressure to rise.
3. Set the Pressure/Flow Rate Display to read either PSI or kPa.
4. Rotate the handle on the pressure valve until the desired maximum
pressure setting is shown on the Pressure/Flow Rate Display.
5. Secure the Locknut.
6. Reset the flow alarm value to the previous setting.
7. Return the Pressure/Flow Rate Display to the previous setting.
8. Replace the access panel.

Routine Maintenance
The Chiller is designed to require a minimum of periodic maintenance.
Condenser, Air Vents and Reusable Filter
The condenser, the air vents, and reusable filter should be kept free of dust and dirt. They
should be checked on a regular basis and cleaned as required.
The reusable filter is accessed from either the left or right side of the unit. Use a mild
detergent and water solution to wash off any accumulated dust and dirt. Rinse and dry
thoroughly before reinstalling.
Inline Strainer
An inline strainer with 2 0 mesh stainless steel sc reen is located on the inlet to the heat exchanger. To acc ess,
remove the Chiller’s top co ver (attached at the rear of the unit with two screws). Remove the threaded cap, pull
the screen out of the fitting, rinse off any particulate material, and reinstall. Be sure to check for leaks after
reinstalling.
Fluid Level
The fluid level should be periodically checked to determine if the fluid level needs to be topped off. Generally, fluid
should be added whenever the level in the reservoir is 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the top of the reservoir.
Cleaning
Only mild detergents and water or an approved cleaner should be used on the painted and stainless steel
surfaces of the Chiller. Do not allow cleaning liquids or sprays to enter the Controller vents.
