The form required for filing such a claim will be provided by the carrier. Description The JULABO circulators are suitable for temperature application to liquids in a bath tank. The main functional elements are the heater, circulation pump, and control electronics.
MV / MW Preparations 5.1. Installation Heating circulators Place the circulator in an upright position. Bridge mounted circulator Place the bath tank in an upright position. Adjust the bridge to width of the bath tank and place it on the bath tank. Bridge is extendable from 310 mm to 660 mm.
Preparations Recommended tubing: Temperature range CR tubing -20 °C to +120 °C Viton tubing -50 °C to +200 °C 5.3. Filling / draining Filling Take care that no liquid enters the interior of the circulator. Recommended maximum filling level with water as •...
MV / MW 5.4. Countercooling For applications near the ambient temperature, the cooling coil must be connected to the water mains. Using tubing, connect the cooling coil (25a) to the tap water supply, and lead the tap water in a sink through the return connector (25b).
Preparations NOTE: Flow-through cooler Order No. Description 9 655 825 FD200 The FD200 is suitable as cooling device for liquids in closed circuits (loops). This unit is integrated in the return flow circuit from the external system connected to a circulator, and continuously withdraws heat from the liquid.

Differing flow rates of the pressure and suction pumps should be compensated. To maintain a constant liquid level, the JULABO "D+S" Level Adapter is recommended for the external bath tank. The flow rate of the pressure pump (24a) will be then regulated by a built-in float device.
Preparations 5.6. Adjusting the pump flow The pump flow is pre-adjusted in the factory and can be modified to suit user requirements. • Using a screwdriver turn the screw (1) anti-clockwise by 360 °. • Using flat pliers turn the marking of the slide (2) to the desired position.
MV / MW Operating procedures 6.1. Power connection Connect the unit only to a grounded mains power socket! We disclaim all liability for damage caused by incorrect line voltages! Check to make sure that the line voltage matches the supply voltage specified on the identification plate. Deviations of ±10 % are permissible.

If the unit cannot be returned to operation, contact an authorized JULABO service station. If the error message "Configuration Error" appears, contact an authorized JULABO service station. Disturbances that are not indicated. Pump motor overload protection • The pump motor is protected against overloading.
Safety recommendations Safety recommendations Follow the safety recommendations to prevent damage to persons or property. Further, the valid safety instructions for working places must be followed. Connect the unit only to a grounded mains power socket! Observe the flash point of the bath medium used. The excess temperature protection should be set at least 20 °C below the fire point.
MV / MW ATC - Absolute Temperature Calibration ATC serves to compensate a temperature difference that might occur between circulator and a defined measuring point in the Circulator (T bath tank because of physical properties. The difference temperature is determined (ΔT= T and stored as correcting factor (example ΔT = -0.2 °C).
