SAFETY AND WARNINGS Make sure before installing or operating the equipment to read and understand all instructions and safety precautions listed in this manual. If there are any questions concerning the operation of the equipment or about the information given in this manual, please contact your local dealer or our sales department first. Performance of installation, operation, or maintenance other than those described in this manual may result in a hazardous situation and may void the manufacturer's warranty.
PRECAUTIONS AND HAZARDS Before attempting to operate the TCC – B, read all parts of this manual carefully to insure smooth operation and avoid damage to the equipment or its accessories. If a malfunction occurs, consult section "Trouble shooting”, READ page 17.
KEEP AIR FLOW FREE Air circulation Put the unit in its proper place. Leave enough room around the cryostat for sufficient air circulation. Place the unit in a clean working environment and keep away from dust. When air can not circulate well, the cryostat will overheat itself resulting in irreversible and severe mechanical damage.
WAIT 10 MIN OPERATION BEFORE TURNING ON 7.1 Switching on If the bath has been properly filled with fluid, it can be switched with the mains switch located on the front panel. Choose a working temperature (set point) with keys. For an optimal performance the bath is best tuned at the set point temperature.
7.4 Start The bath must be filled with a liquid suitable for the minimum operating temperature. VISCOSITY < 20 cSt It is very important to select a liquid with a viscosity of FLASHPOINT less than 20 cSt at the operating temperature and a flash >...
7.5 Selecting parameters The front panel layout shows the following 4 operating keys: PAGE LIST DOWN Press shortly and following is displayed - Temperature set point in C, SP.1 - Tuning the bath (“Atune”), tU.n - Changing the tuning (PID) parameters "P"value - Changing the tuning (PID) parameters "I"value - Changing the tuning (PID) parameters "D"value Sequence...
displayed bath temperature is 20.0°C, an offset of 0.2 displays a value of 20.2°C. An offset of -0.2°C will display 19.8°C. Range is -5°C .. +5°C. Press page key to confirm setting when altered. When tune is set to on, PID values can not note: be set.
7.1 Fluid level Do not operate the bath with low fluid level. When the fluid level is too low, bath fluid will vaporize leading to toxic and flamable fumes. Flamable fumes can lead to fire Flammable fumes can be ignited by the not submersed part of the heating element.
7.1 Maximum fluid level If the fluid level is too high, it will leave the bath via the overflow outlet (10 mm outside diameter pipe). Prevent fluid from the overflow outlet entering the backside of the apparatus. For this reason the overflow outlet must be connected to a waste container.
Check mains CONNECTING voltage and frequency Before plugging TCC-B bath into mains socket, make sure the voltage of the bath corresponds to the local voltage and frequency. Use a mains supply that is well earthed, clean of interference and suitable for the acquired electrical load of the bath. 8.1 Cleaning Use a properly grounded mains...
