EU Directives WEEE and RoHS
To Our Valued Customers:
We are committed to being a good corporate citizen. As part of that commitment,
we strive to maintain an environmentally conscious manufacturing operation. The
European Union (EU) has enacted two Directives, the first on product recycling
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, WEEE) and the second limiting the use
of certain substances (Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances, RoHS).
Over time, these Directives will be implemented in the national laws of each EU
Member State.
Once the final national regulations have been put into place, recycling will be offered
for our products which are within the scope of the WEEE Directive. Products falling
under the scope of the WEEE Directive available for sale after August 13, 2005 will
be identified with a “wheelie bin” symbol.
Two Categories of products covered by the WEEE Directive are currently exempt
from the RoHS Directive – Category 8, medical devices (with the exception of
implanted or infected products) and Category 9, monitoring and control instruments.
Most of our products fall into either Category 8 or 9 and are currently exempt from
the RoHS Directive. We will continue to monitor the application of the RoHS
Directive to its products and will comply with any changes as they apply.

Introduction
The CL-100 Bipolar Temperature Controller from Warner Instruments
is a versatile and simple to use thermal control device.This single channel,
automatic controller capable of accurately maintaining a Peltier device
between 0° and 50°C. The unit will also maintain a resistive heater from
ambient to +65ºC.
Although primarily designed for use with Warner In-Line Solution
Heater/Coolers, this instrument can be easily adapted for use with cus-
tom-built equipment according to the requirements of the user.When cou-
pled with the SC-20 Dual In-line Solution Heater/Cooler, the CL-100
provides efficient control of perfusion solution temperatures.
The unit is simple to use with a single control for temperature adjustment.
Total automatic control is provided in automatic mode, while manual con-
trol is available in manual mode.A loop-speed selector is used to optimize
the response of the system to accommodate thermal delay characteristics
intrinsic to the setup.
Features of the CL-100 Include:
•Quiet operation
•Automatic and manual modes
•Single control temperature adjustment
•Freeze alert
•Built-in protection for Peltier devices
•Selectable loop speed optimizes system speed and stability
•Simultaneous monitoring of system temperature and a separate
point of interest
•Compatible with all Warner Peltier Driven Heater/Coolers
CAUTION: This equipment is not designed nor
intended for use on human subjects.

Text Conventions
This manual refers to instrument controls at two functional levels; specific
controls and settings of these controls.To increase readability, we employ
the following text conventions. Since our goal is to provide clarity rather
than complexity, we welcome any feedback you may wish to provide.
•Warner Instrument product numbers are presented using bold type.
•References to controls are specified using CAPS.
•References to control settings are specified using italic type.
•Special comments and warnings are presented in highlighted text.
Any other formatting should be apparent from context.

Control Description
Front Panel
A schematic of the face panel of the CL-100 is shown below. Important
components are identified by letter (A-H, J-N). Refer to this diagram as an
aid in identification of the described components.
Power Switch (Item A)
Supplies power to the CL-100.
Meter Selector Switch and Meter (Item B)
THE SELECTOR SWITCH selects the parameter displayed on the associated
METER. Included options are Set Temp, Control Temp, Monitor Temp, and
Output Volts and are described below.
Set Temp reports the adjustment from either the SET TEMPERATURE con-
trol (Item H) or the EXT TEMP SET BNC (Item Q). Displayed units are °C.
Control Temp reports the actual temperature of the feedback thermistor sit-
uated within the heater/cooler device being used.The data is informative
only and is in units of ºC.
Monitor Temp reports the temperature of the sensor thermistor which con-
nects via the MONITOR TEMP IN BNC (Item F).This provides a convenient
means to determine the temperature of any point of interest within your
setup. Displayed units are ºC.
Output Volts reports the adjustment from either the MANUAL VOLTAGE
control (Item K) or the EXT VOLT SET BNC (Item P). Displayed units are V.
The METER also provides an indication that the main POWER is on.

Control Description (Cont’d)
Cooling Mode Switch (Item C)
Selects between Automatic or Manual operational modes, or center select
for off.
Thermistor Recorder Outputs (Items D, E)
BNC connectors are provided to send thermistor readings to a data acqui-
sition system or chart recorder.
CONTROL TEMP OUT (Item D) reports the actual temperature of the feed-
back thermistor situated within the heater/cooler device being used.
Output is calibrated to 100 mV/ºC.
MONITOR TEMP OUT (Item E) reports the temperature of the sensor ther-
mistor which connects via the MONITOR TEMP IN BNC (Item F). Output is
calibrated to 100 mV/ºC.
Monitor Temp In BNC (Item F)
BNC for connecting a sensor thermistor used to sample the temperature at
a point of interest. Designed for use with the TA-29 cable assembly.
Loop Speed Switch (Item G)
Sets the feedback loop speed for the CONTROL TEMP THERMISTOR when
the CL-100 is used in automatic mode. Feedback options include fast,
medium, and slow.Optimally set to fast for most applications but can be
set to medium or slow for systems with longer thermal delay characteristics.
Set Temperature Control (Item H)
Used to adjust the set point of the automatic temperature control system.
The associated GREEN LED is on when the INTERNAL/EXTERNAL SELECT
CONTROL (Item J) is set to internal, and the COOLING MODE SWITCH
(Item C) is set to auto. Set value can be read from the METER (Item B) in
the set temp position.
External/Internal Select Control (Item J)
Used to select between internal or external control inputs when the
instrument is in Manual mode (Item C).
When the INTERNAL/EXTERNAL SELECT CONTROL is set to internal, and
the COOLING MODE SWITCH (Item C) is set to auto, the SET TEMPERA-
TURE CONTROL (Item H) will be active. Setting the COOLING MODE
SWITCH (Item C) to manual disables the SET TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(Item H) and activates the MANUAL VOLTAGE CONTROL (Item K).

Control Description (Cont’d)
Manual Voltage Control (Item K)
Used to manually adjust the voltage output to the heater/cooler device.The
associated GREEN LED is on when the INTERNAL/EXTERNAL SELECT
CONTROL (Item J) is set to internal, and the COOLING MODE SWITCH
(Item C) is set to manual. Set value can be read from the METER (Item B)
in the output volts position.
Peltier Limit LED (Item L)
This option functions only when the CL-100 is used with an SC-20 Dual
In-line Solution Heater/Cooler.The RED LED is lit when the temperature of
the Peltier device within the SC-20 exceeds its operational limits.
Activation of this circuit automatically sets the output voltage of the CL-
100 to 0 V.
Freeze Alert LED (Item M)
This option functions only when the CL-100 is used with an SC-20 Dual In-
line Solution Heater/Cooler. The BLUE LED is lit when the Peltier device
within the CL-100 approaches 0°C.Activation of this circuit is informative
only and will not alter any instrument setting.
Heat / Cool LED’s (Item N)
RED and BLUE LED’s indicate heating or cooling power applied to the
Peltier device.
