Before starting the Thermolator, verify that the system has been installed correctly for your
application. See the Installation
1
Turn on the water supply to the Thermolator. The supply pressure must be at least
25 psi for most units. Refer to the appendix G for more information on 48 kw and 300°
F {149° C} units. Check for leaks in the cooling water and process fluid lines before
continuing.
2
Turn on main power to the Thermolator.
• The controller display and "Control Power" LED will illuminate to indicate the
control has power.
• The controller will show the firmware version on the lower display while show-
ing "tcp" on the upper display. After a few seconds, process temperature will be
displayed (red, bottom display) and setpoint will be shown (green, top display).
3
Set the temperature setpoint to 40° F (4.4° C) if the Thermolator's process lines
were recently reconfigured, or if you suspect excessive air is in the process lines.
Press to increase or
additional flushing and de-aeration in the process lines via the cooling valve.

Press RUN .
The unit initiates a 30-second (or as otherwise defined by user parameter) venting
sequence. The Venting LED illuminates.
• The pump starts after the venting cycle is over. The Pump LED illuminates when
the pump is running.
• Normal operation begins. The heater turns on if the actual temperature is below
setpoint. The cooling valve opens if the actual temperature is above setpoint.

NOTE: Both venting stages will be skipped if the process temperature is above the vent bypass temperature,
and the Thermolator will consequently start the pump immediately in the "RUNNING" state.
5
Set the setpoint to the desired temperature, Shown in green on the top display.
Press to increase or
