Section 1 Safety Do not mount the immersion circulator backwards on the bath; the line cord could contact the reservoir fluid. Ensure the electrical cords do not come in contact with any of the plumbing connections or tubing. Operate the unit using only the supplied line cord. If the unit's power cord is used as the disconnecting device, it must be easily accessible at all times.
General Information Section 2 Description The Cole Palmer Polystat Immersion Circulators are used with refrigerated ® and heated baths. All circulators can pump to an external system. All have a digital display and easy-to-use touch pad, five programmable setpoint temperatures, acoustic and optical alarms, and offer adjustable high temperature protection.

Never place the unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, CAUTION inadequate ventilation, or corrosive materials are present.
Section 3 Installation Electrical The unit construction provides protection against the risk of electrical Requirements shock by grounding appropriate metal parts. The protection will not function unless the power cord is connected to a properly grounded DANGER outlet. It is the user's responsibility to assure a proper ground connection is provided.
Section 3 Installation Ensure all communication and electrical connections are made CAUTION prior to starting the unit. • Ensure the line cord from the bath is securely connected to the rear of the controller. • Ensure the communications cable from the bath is connected to the RJ45 connectors (similar to Ethernet) on the rear of the controller.
Section 3 Installation External The plumbing connections for external circulation are located on the rear of the thermostat. is the return flow from the external application. Circulation the outlet flow to the external application (supply side). The connections are 16 mm O.D. Remove the union nuts and plates to install the 8 mm or 12 mm hose barbs and clamps supplied with the unit.

Appendix The master sets parameters in the chiller by sending one of the Set Functions as shown in Table 1. The master does not send a qualifier byte in the data field. The master should be preprogrammed to send the correct precision and units (it could also read the parameter of interest first to decode the correct precision and units needed).
