Ensure the reservoir drain port on the front of the bath is closed and that
all plumbing connections are secure. Also ensure any residue is thoroughly
removed before filling the reservoir.
Before using any fluid refer to the manufacturer's SDS and EC Safety
Data Sheet for handling precautions.
To avoid spilling, place your containers into the reservoir before filling.
With a low level WARNING the circulator continues to run, with a FAULT
the circulator will shut the refrigeration, pump and heater will shut down, see
Section 7. The low level warning for the SC 150 is at approximately 47 mm
(1 7/8") below the top, the low level fault is at approximately 60mm
(2 3/8"). The SC150L is 45 mm (1 3/4") lower for both levels.
Avoid overfilling, oil-based fluids expand when heated.
When pumping to an external system, keep extra fluid on hand to maintain
the proper level in the circulating lines and the external system.
Note Monitor the fluid level whenever heating the fluid.
Before draining any fluid refer to the manufacturer's SDS and EC
Safety Data Sheet for handling precautions.
Ensure the fluid is at a safe handling temperature, ~40°C. Wear
protective clothing and gloves.
• place a suitable container underneath the drain. If desired, attach an
8 mm id tube on the drain.
• slowly turn the drain plug until flow is observed.
Turning the drain cap more than 1 1/2 turns will result in the drain cap
and fitting coming off.
In this case, the drain fitting can be screwed back on. Attaching the cap
onto the fitting will aid in installation. If required, contact us for additional
information.
