5 Installation Continued
Never touch the power switch with wet hands to avoid electrical shock.
Do not touch the surface when the set temperature is high. Temperature
of the tank and the chassis near the tank could be high.
Fluid other than water or Ethylene Glycol (up to 20%) should not be
used as circulating fluid. Using such fluid may lead to leakage or
damage of the pump.
Operation of the pump with a large amount of air left in the piping for
prolonged period may damage the pump. Remove air from piping before
starting operation.
If the power switch is turned on without circulating fluid, the pump could
be damaged.
Take care not to spill water over the product when supplying water to the
reservoir. When a spill is made, wipe it off immediately and only supply
power after it has dried. If this procedure is neglected, it may cause
damage to the product.
If a fluid with low conductivity such as DI water is used as circulating fluid,
it can cause static electricity due to friction and damage the product.
Take measures to minimize the static electricity from circulating fluid.
If the product is operating for a long time with large temperature
fluctuations after reaching the set temperature, the product may be
damaged. Please set the PID values by using the auto-tuning function.
6 Operation
6.1 Power Up
When power is turned on, the software version is indicated on display
panel for approx. 1 second.
6.2 Operation
The product begins operation immediately after the power is turned on.
The pump and heat exchanger will be running and the product will begin
temperature control.
The display can show the following information during operation.

The key functions are as follows:
[SEL]: Used to show the item that needs to be
changed in selected mode level.
[

▽△
[RET]: Used to fix the value changed by [▽△] key.
Press again to return to current temperature
indication.
[AT]: Used to start auto tuning in auto tuning mode
(This function works when the control operation mode is 2 in level setting 1)
When pressed during auto tuning, the auto tuning is stopped.
When no input is made within 1 minute regardless of setting mode, the
display returns to the current temperature indication.
The data input is written to FRAM and memorized after the power supply
is turned off.
To return all of the setting values to default: Turn on the power supply
while pressing [SEL] and [RET] keys.

not use water or steam since it leads to rusting of the frame.
9.2 General Maintenance
1Bit,
2Bits
1
Replace the circulating fluid regularly to avoid any problems due to algae
or contamination.
<Drain circulating fluid>
1. Drain circulating fluid from the Drain port.
Loosen the reservoir cap to help draining. (Do not remove the cap)
2. To drain from the piping, blow air (0.1MPa, about 1 minute) from Fluid
OUT to Drain port. Close the reservoir cap and Fluid IN while blowing.
The repair and maintenance services of this unit are performed only at
SMC factory. SMC does not provide on-site repair or maintenance
service in a national or overseas situation.
It is recommended to prepare spare units to minimize downtime due to
those repair and maintenance services.
Drain the fluid from the product when it is returned for the repair and
maintenance service. If the fluid is left inside, an accident and damage
can result during transportation.
Do not make any modification to the product.
Do not disassemble the product, unless required by installation
instructions.
If fluid other than water is used, wash the circulating fluid circuit with
water or DI water before returning the product to SMC. Products that
have not been washed may not be accepted at the factory.
