Safety Notes The temperature controlling i.e. immersing of test- tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks or similar objects directly within the circulator constitutes normal circulator practise. We do not know which substances are contained within these vessels. Many substances are: inflammable, easily ignited or explosive hazardous to health environmentally unsafe i.e.: dangerous...

Filling 10. Filling with Bath Liquid The selection of the proper bath liquid (heat transfer liquid) influences the capacity of a temperature control unit deci- sively. The technical data with special emphasis on the tem- perature accuracy was established in accordance with DIN 58 966 (water at 70 C).
Page 20
Please get in contact with us should you have any questions. We are glad to advise you and can help you to choose a heat transfer liquid suitable for your application HAAKE heat transfer liquids are supplied with an EC Safety Data Sheet. ! Important ! HAAKE takes no responsibility for damages caused by the selection of an unsuitable bath liquid.
Filling 10.2 Filling with heat transfer liquid Filling level of the interior bath: max. up to 2.0 cm below the cover plate, min. up to 5.0 cm below the cover plate. External systems included within the circulating circuit have to be filled with the same heat transfer liquid in order to avoid too much liquid being drawn from the internal bath.
Draining 11. Draining The temp. control unit is drained at the nozzle 23. Place a suitable vessel underneath nozzle. Bear in mind that the liquid will run out in a slight arc. Turn plug slowly until it becomes disengaged from the thread.
Connecting Up 12. Connecting Up 230 V 12.1 Connecting to the mains Only attach this unit to mains sockets with a grounded earth. Compare the local mains voltage with the specifications writ- ten on the name plate. Voltage deviations of +/- 10% are per- missible.
Connecting Up 12.4 Fuses on the unit All units are equipped with automatic thermally-triggered fuses. If the fuse has triggered the fuse does not have to be exchanged – resetting suf- fices; a red marking is visible; a certain cooling down time should be allowed (approx. 5 min) before the (dip) switch can be pressed again.
Operating 13. Operating 13.1 Switching on Set the excess temperature protection clearly above the desired operating temperature using the dial 13. Switch the circulator on at the mains switch 1. This causes: The version number of the operating software is briefly shown at display 6: e.g.
Operating Keep pressing the key 3, until is shown in the display. This is the default setting. If you switch with key 7 ( ) to and confirm this using the Enter key 8, the DC5 will switch on again automatically from now on and resetting af- ter the circulator is switched on is no longer necessary.
Operating 13.5 Heating control lamp The display 4 lights up when the heating is switched on (set temperature is higher than the current temperature). display 4 lights up constantly during the heating up phase, display 4 flashes on and off during the control phase. The display 4 does not light up if the heating is not activated (set temperature is lower than the current temperature).

Operating 13.7 Temperature limitation The setting range of the operating temperature of the circula- tor can be limited if the application or the flash point of the selected heat transfer liquid requires this. This is not a safety element but merely an aid to help avoid user faults when operating the unit.
Operating 13.8 Cooling The refrigerated bath enables temperature controlling in the circulator’s own bath below ambient or tap water tempera- ture or to rapidly lower the temperature of a heated bath to a lower level. The attainable working temperature range is detailed in the technical specifications.
Excess Temperature Protection 14. Excess Temperature Protection If one of the safety devices is triggered: The fault cause is shown in the display 6 (see also chapter 15). An acoustic signal is sounded all voltage conducting unit components (the heating element and pump motor) are switched off immediately i.e.
Excess Temperature Protection 14.1.1 Setting the excess temperature The cut-off point is set with the excess temperature dial 13 with a rough scale of temperature values arranged around it. This scale, of course, can only serve as an approximate setting means for this cut-off point. However, the cut-off point can be determined to act exactly if the following procedure is adhered to: If for instance a bath liquid has a flash point of 60 C the unit...
Fault Displays 15. Fault Displays An acoustic signal is sounded and “ xx” is shown on display 6.. The heating element and pump are completely switched off. The following faults are possible: Excess temperature Low liquid level Pump or motor overloading Sensor breakage or short circuit Undefined fault Range exceeded...
Fault Displays 15.4 Sensor breakage or short circuit The sensor must be exchanged by qualified service personnel. Please return unit for repairs. 15.5 Undefined fault This can be caused by fault which only occurs for a short period of time, i.e. with a fluctuating bath level when the filling level is very close to minimum.
Testing the Safety Features 16. Testing the Safety Features The safety features for excess temperature protection and low liquid level protection must be checked at regular inter- vals. The level of regularity of checking depends on the unit’s designated application and the heat transfer liquid used (in- flammable or non-inflammable).

Maintenance 18. Maintenance The stainless steel surfaces of the bath vessel and of the housing may after some time show spots and become tar- nished. Normal stainless steel cleaners as they are used in the kitchen can be used. The bath vessel and built-in compo- nents should occasionally (at least every time the bath liquid is changed) be cleaned using a household cleaner.

Supplement to the chapter ”Operation” The cooling unit is switched-on separately with its own mains switch 21 . Switch on the cooling unit only when cooling is actually required. The compressor starts with a slight jerk. If the DC5-K75 was already in operation before, please switch on the unit only after the refrigera- tion section has been switched off for at least 60 minutes.
