FEATURES Coolig water monitoring unit for use in laboratories, switches off any electrical load up to 230 V AC / 3,5 kW in case of • Undershooting of the chosen minimum cooling water flow: Solenoid valve in the cooling water admission closes, connected electrical load is disconnected with all poles •...
SAFETY ADVICE 1. Please read this advice carefully. 2 Keep this operation manual for use near the unit. 3. This is an electrical device driven with high voltage, please respect all relevant safety regulations. Mains voltage and every voltage greater than 42 volts is dangerous! 4.
SPECIFICATION AQUASTOP II Laboratory cooling water monitoring unit ® Art. Nr. CKY2.1 Mains voltage 230 V ± 10 %, 48...63 Hz Electrical connection Power cord with protective earth Nominal rating / nominal current 3,5 kW / 15 A 16 A MT (load) Fuses 0,5 A MT (solenoid valve) 0,2 A MT (controller)
OPERATING MODE DESCRIPTION This unit monitors continuously the cooling water flow and cooling temperature of any critical laboratory equipment operating without surveillance and helps preventing damages caused by unsufficiant cooling action. It can easily be mounted on already existing installations. Cooling water admission is controlled by an solenoid valve fitted onto a normal water tap.

OPERATING MODE DESCRIPTION During normal operation, AQUASTOP II works in surveillance mode. The actual temperature of the ® cooling water is shown in the upper part of the display. If an external temperature sensor is used (which automatically disconnects the internal temperature gauge in the flow sensor), make sure that this sensor is located at an appropriate position to measure the critical temperature in the process.
INSTALLATION AND WIRING 5.1 Installation The installation site must provide easy access for the operator without hazard. Sufficient mechanical stability must be guaranteed, also secure the device from slipping on the installation surface. To ease operation and good visibility of the display, the handle can be used as a support. To adjust the position of the handle, unfasten the screws on both sides of the handle and fasten them again after adjustment.

OPERATION 6.1 Operating elements and keys Key operational functions: Press the UP or DOWN keys (2/7) to increase or decrease the actual value by 1 digit. Move up or down quickly by holding the key pressed. MODE-key, toggles the display from actual value to program mode. Set the duration of the pre-alarm by pressing both „M“...
OPERATION 6.2 Start-up Attention: Before switching the unit on, make sure that all tubing is tightly secured and the flow meter is mounted in the right direction of the cooling water stream (see arrow). After verification of all electrical connections, switch the coolant monitor on (5). The green light within the main power switch is now illuminated.
SETTING THE OPERATIONAL LIMIT VALUES 7.1 Temperature limit value To alter the temperature limit value, press once the „M“-key (3). On the lower line of the display, „te“ is shown and the temperature limit value shown on the upper display line can now be altered with the „UP / DOWN“...
SETTING THE OPERATIONAL LIMIT VALUES 7.3 Temperature tolerance value Starting from the normal surveillance mode, press and maintain the „UP“-key (2), then press additionally the „M“-key (3). On the lower line of the display, „tol“ is shown and the temperature tolerance value shown on the upper display line can now be altered with the „UP/DOWN“...
SETTING THE OPERATIONAL LIMIT VALUES 7.5 Calibration of the flow meter If AQUASTOP II is delivered together with a flow meter, the unit is already adjusted with that sensor ® and no extra calibration is required. In case of replacement of a flow meter, a new calibration of the unit to that other sensor is needed.
ERROR MESSAGES 8.1 Temperature sensor failure No signal on the temperature sensor entrance: • Check the sensor connector • Check the electrical wiring (might be damaged) 8.2 Flow meter failure Wrong signal on the flow sensor entrance: • Purge the flexible hosing (air bubbles might cause an irritation of the sensor) •...
