Congratulations! You have made an excellent choice. JULABO thanks you for the trust you have placed in us. This operating manual has been designed to help you gain an understanding of the operation and possible applications of our circulators. For optimal utilization of all functions, we recommend that you thoroughly study this manual prior to beginning operation.
Operating manual Intended use JULABO Temperature Systems have been designed for temperature application to specific fluids in a external closed system (oop circuit). The units feature pump connections for temperature control of external systems (loop circuit). JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi-luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products.

Safety notes for the user • Pay attention to the thermal expansion of bath oil during heating to avoid overflowing of the fluid. • Prevent water from penetrating into the hot bath oil. • 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).
Page 15
The following questions shall help to recognize possible dangers and to reduce the risks to a minimum. • Are all tubes and electrical cables connected and installed? Note: sharp edges, hot surfaces in operation, moving machine parts, etc. • Do dangerous steams or gases arise when heating? Is an exhaust needed when working? •...

Preparations Diagram 1: JULABO Thermal oils Change in volume in dependence on the temperature of bath liquid. Example A: Filling quantity at ambient temperature 5 liters Intended working temperature range -40 °C bis +250 °C Change in volume caused by temperature 1,75 liters Here an external expansion vessel is required (Order no.: 8 970 830)
5.2. Tubing Recommended tubing: Metal tubing, triple insulated, M16x1, Temperature range -100 °C ... +350 °C Order No. Length 8 930 209 0.5 m 8 930 210 1.0 m 8 930 211 1.5 m 8 930 214 3.0 m Metal tubing, insulated, M16x1, Temperature range -50 °C ... +200 °C Order No.
Preparations 5.3. Installation Caution: Danger of tipping • Lift the unit only with a crane using the lifting strands and the wooden crate (see pictures on page 2) • The recessed grips on the side are not suited for lifting the unit! Careful positioning of the unit on its rollers is permitted.
Page 27
Caution: Securely attach all tubing to prevent slipping. Connecting the external system: • Remove the cap nuts from the pump connectors (13, 14) and using tubing connect the external system (M16x1 / wrench 19 mm). To prevent the formation of bubbles in the loop circuit, the pressure line (13) is to be connected to the lower nozzle of the external system.
Preparations Notice: If an expansion vessel is not used, make sure the connector (16) is closed with a cap nut. If an external expansion vessel is mounted later, a part of the bath liquid should be drained before (see chapter Emptying on page 33). It might be helpful to put the castors at the back on a base which is approximately 10-15 mm high.
5.6. Power connection Caution: • Only connect the unit to a power socket with earthing contact (PE – protective earth)! • The power supply plug serves as a safe disconnecting device from the line and must be always easily accessible. •...

Menu functions 7.5. Internal / external control The temperature system offers the possibility of internal temperature control in the internal bath or external control directly in an external system. Setup for external control: ® Connect a Pt100 sensor to the socket "EXT" of the Presto temperature system, if necessary perform a calibration using the ext.
Menu functions 8.1. Configuration By means of the configuration functions, operation of the instrument can be optimized for the current application. • Press enter to select the configuration submenu. • Use the up/down cursor keys to select the desired option. A flashing line indicates that a value needs to be entered.
Page 43
>Autostart Note: The temperature system has been configured and supplied by JULABO according to N.A.M.U.R. recommendations. This means for the start mode, that the unit must enter a safe operating state after a power failure (non-automatic start mode). This safe operating state is indicated by "OFF", resp. on the VFD-Info-Display.
Page 44
Menu functions Should such a safety standard not be required, the AUTOSTART function (automatic start mode) may be activated, thus allowing the start of the instrument directly by pressing the mains power switch or using a timer. Possible parameters: on - AUTOSTART on off - AUTOSTART off Warning For supervised or unsupervised operation with the AUTOSTART function, avoid...
8.2. Control parameters When performing an identification for the controlled system (temperature applications system) (see page 42), the control parameters Xp, Tn, Tv and Xpu will be automatically determined and stored. Each parameter may be manually set via the keypad if necessary, to allow optimum control performance.
Page 46
Menu functions >DynInt< - Dynamics This parameter affects the march of temperature only in case of internal control (see page 40) Adjustable parameter: standard The temperature rises quicker, however can overshoot up to 5 %. If a ramp is defined, the march of temperature often follows this ramp.
8.3. Start of a profile The start menu of the integrated programmer allows calling up and defined starting of one of six previously stored temperature profiles. The profiles are started manually or via the integrated timer. There are two possibilities for manually starting a program: 1.
Page 48
Menu functions • When selecting the parameter time, a new menu level is called up for entry of the start time. A flashing segment indicates that a start time needs to be entered. Example: hour.min 6:00 h hour.min Start time Day.Mon day and month Year...
8.3.1. Interrupting a profile Interrupting a profile: • Press the start/stop key to interrupt or continue a profile. The setpoint and time period set for the corresponding section are thus stopped at the values presently achieved. The instrument is put on hold and the message "pause" flashes on the DIALOG DISPLAY (LCD).
Menu functions 8.4. Integrated programmer The integrated programmer allows any desired temperature program sequences to be realized. Such a temperature sequence is called profile. A profile consists of individual sections defined by duration (t:) and target temperature. Target temperature is the setpoint (T:), that is achieved at the end of a section.
Page 51
Edit Compile profiles: • A flashing segment indicates that a number needs to be entered. Under submenu "Edit Profile" enter a profile number. Six profiles may be stored (nos. 0 to 5). Examples: • Then programme the desired values for each section. Profile No 1: Use the keypad to set section number, target temperature and time period.
Page 52
Menu functions Delete • A flashing segment indicates that the respective profile number needs to be entered in which one or more consecutive sections are to be deleted. • In lines 2 and 3 of the DIALOG DISPLAY (LCD) enter the numbers of the sections to be deleted.
8.5. Analog inputs/outputs This submenu enables setting of the input and output values for the programmer input and the temperature recorder outputs of socket REG+E-PROG (21). • Press enter to select the inputs/outputs submenu. • Use the up/down cursor keys to select the desired option and press enter to open.

Example: • Set the external voltage or current source output for the equivalent of 50 °C temperature setpoint. The value adjusted and set on the external programmer is displayed in line 4 of the DIALOG-DISPLAY (LCD) for control purposes (Example: ExtSet: 50.0 °C). After returning the LCD display to standard display by pressing the temperature value adjusted and set on the external voltage or current source is displayed in line 1...
Menu functions 8.6. Limits The limits IntMax and IntMin are only valid under external control (see 7.5. Internal / external control). They restrict the temperature of the internal bath to the desired maximum/minimum, also if the controller would require a higher/lower temperature for the external system.
8.8. Sensors ATC - Absolute Temperature Calibration • Select the submenu "Temp.Sensor" with enter • Select the desired option with the up/down cursor keys A flashing digit indicates that a value needs to be entered i.e. set. ATC Int: internal sensor ATC Ext: external sensor •...
Menu functions 8.9. Pump In this submenu the circulation pump can be turned on separately, without heating element or cooling unit. The menu option „Modus“ refers to the filling valve and the ventilation valve. Depending on the operating status (drain / fill / sys close) the valves are switched off automatically.
