Operating manual

1. Intended use

JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath tank.

The units feature pump connections for temperature control of external systems (loop circuit).

JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi-

luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products.

Direct temperature control means unprotected contact of the object with the bath

medium (bath fluid).

1.1. Description

1x10

PID3

ATC

RS232

Pt100

PUMP

SMART

The circulators are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The microprocessor

technology allows different values to be set, stored, and displayed on the VFD

COMFORT-DISPLAY. Three menu keys facilitate the adjustment of setpoints,

warning and safety functions, and menu functions.

Temperature- and time-dependent processes can be stored and executed using

the integrated programmer.

The adjustable PID cascade temperature control automatically adjusts the heat

supply to the thermal requirements of the bath.

Absolute Temperature Calibration (ATC3) provides high temperature stability at all

points in the bath. With the 3-point calibration, an offset is adjusted at three

temperatures to ensure an accurate temperature pattern at the selected spot in the

bath over the entire temperature range.

Electrical connections:

RS232 interface for modern process technology without an additional interface.

Connection for external Pt100 sensor for external temperature measurement and

control.

Alarm output for external alarm message or control of JULABO refrigerating baths

or solenoid valve (cooling water).

The excess temperature protection according to IEC 61010-2-010 is a safety

device independent from the control circuit. Its safety value can be displayed and

adjusted on the VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY.

The early warning system for low level signals that bath fluid needs to be refilled

before the low level protection according to IEC 61010-2-010 triggers a safety

shutdown of the main functional elements.

Intelligent pump system: the pump capacity (electronically adjustable via the motor

speed) can be adapted to different conditions for internal and external temperature-

control applications.

Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations

2. Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations

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:

You have received a product designed for industrial use. Nevertheless, 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

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. 40 °C, min. 5 °C.

Permissible relative humidity: 50% (40 °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 perform configuration, installation, maintenance and repairs of

the circulator.

Routine operation can also be carried out by untrained personnel who should however be instructed by

trained personnel.

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 (1 + 2) to the front of the unit so they are highly visible:

Warning label W00: Colors: yellow, black

Danger area. Attention! Observe instructions.

(operating manual, safety data sheet)

Mandatory label M018: Colors: blue, white

Carefully read the user information prior to beginning operation.

Scope: EU

Semi S1-0701 Table A1-2 #9

Carefully read the user information prior to beginning operation.

Scope: USA, NAFTA

Particular care and attention is necessary because of the wide operating range.

There are thermal dangers: Burn, scald, hot steam, hot parts and surfaces that can be touched.

Warning label W26: Colors: yellow, black

Hot surface warning.

(The label is put on by JULABO)

Observe the instructions in the manuals for instruments of a different make that you connect to the

circulator, particularly the respective safety recommendations. Also observe the pin assignment of

plugs and technical specifications of the products.

2.1. Disposal

The circulator contains a back-up battery that supplies voltage to memory chips when the unit is

switched off. Do not dispose of the battery with household waste!

Depending on battery regulations in your country, you might be obliged to give back used or defect

batteries to gathering places.

The product may be used with oil as bath fluid. These oils fully or partially consist of mineral oil or

synthetic oil. For disposal, observe the instructions in the safety data sheets.

Valid in EU countries

Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January

2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

This directive requires electrical and electronic equipment marked with a crossed-

out trash can to be disposed of separately in an environmentally friendly manner.

Contact an authorized waste management company in your country.

Disposal with household waste (unsorted waste) or similar collections of municipal

waste is not permitted!
