Shaking Water Baths Check the filling level of the bath fluid from time to time. The heater must always be fully covered with the bath fluid! Never operate the unit without bath fluid in the bath. Do not drain the bath fluid while it is hot! Check the temperature of the bath fluid prior to draining (by switching the unit on for a short moment for example).
Preparations Preparations 5.1. Installation Caution: The unit is not for use in explosive environment. The installation site should meet the following conditions: 1. The base of the installation site should be level to ensure proper functioning of the safety features. 2.
Distilled and deionized water is unsuitable. Their special properties cause corrosion in the bath, even in stainless steel. JULABO takes no responsibility for damages caused by the selection of an unsuitable bath fluid. Please contact JULABO before using other than recommended bath fluids.
Preparations 5.3. Filling / Draining Filling: Maximum filling level: 6 cm below the bath rim Minimum filling level: 7 cm (level approx. 3 cm above surface (16) for the placement of items/fixtures) Note: The working filling level depends on size and number of the items (fixtures) to be placed inside.
Shaking Water Baths 5.4. Maintaining a constant water level / Counter cooling For cooling tasks near the ambient air temperature the liquid level/cooling set can be used for counter cooling. By special pipe routing, cool faucet water is continuously supplied to the water bath, while at the same time, the heated water is drained via the overflow connection of the Level/Cooling set.
Preparations 5.5. Accessories Bath covers Recommendation: Use the water bath cover to keep temperature losses to a minimum. This is especially important for working temperatures above 60 C.
