Filling And Draining - IKA RC 5 basic Operating Instructions Manual

- Screw the hose olive to the pump connection IN and
OUT with union nuts� Slide the hoses (NW 12) onto the
olives� The hoses must be secured with suitable clamps�
- Via a hose to the "Overflow" connection, overflowing fluid
can be directed into a suitable vessel� The vessel should be
positioned lower than the "Overflow" connection�
In case of closed external system, if there is in any case no
risk of exceeding the maximum fluid level, you can close
the "Overflow" connector with the included overflow
cap� This minimizes the energy loss and protects, in case
of long-term applications with low temperatures and
high humidity, against unwanted water input and the as-
sociated volume increase�
Check fluid heat expansion!
- Connect the "Backflow" connector to IKA calorimeter
with a suitable hose�
When IKA calorimeter is not connected, please close the
"Backflow" connector with included backflow cap�
