Operating manual Intended use JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath tank. The units feature pump connections for temperature control of external systems (loop circuit). JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi- luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products.
Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations The products of JULABO ensure safe operation when installed, operated, and maintained according to common safety regulations. This section explains the potential dangers that may arise when operating the circulator and also specifies the most important safety precautions to preclude these dangers as far as possible.

Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations 2.1. Disposal The circulator contains a back-up battery that supplies voltage to memory chips when the unit is switched off. Do not dispose of the battery with household waste! Depending on battery regulations in your country, you might be obliged to give back used or defect batteries to gathering places.

HE / SE Preparations 5.1. Installation Heating circulators • Place the unit on an even surface on a base made of nonflammable material. Bridge mounted circulator SE-Z • Place the bath tank in an upright position. 1. Remove screw on both sides (transportation safety device in the middle).
Fire or other dangers when using bath fluids that are not recommended: Please contact JULABO before using other than recommended bath fluids. Use only nonacidic and noncorrosive bath fluids. JULABO assumes no liability for damage caused by the selection of an unsuitable bath liquid. Unsuitable bath fluids are fluids which, e.g., •...
Differing flow rates of the pressure and suction pumps should be compensated. To maintain a constant liquid level, the JULABO „D+S“ Level Adapter is recommended for the external bath tank. The flow rate of the pressure pump will be then regulated by a built-in float device.
Preparations Return flow safety device If the liquid levels in the circulator bath and the external system are at different heights, overflowing must be prevented after the power has been turned off. Flood hazard! For this reason, shut-off valves can be integrated in the loop circuit. Order No.
HE / SE 5.4. Filling / draining Notice: • Pay attention to the thermal expansion of bath oil during heating to avoid overflowing of the liquid. • Do not drain the bath fluid while it is hot! Recommendation: Temperature range 5 °C to 40 °C Check the temperature of the bath fluid prior to draining (by switching the unit on for a short moment, for example).
Preparations 5.5. Countercooling Caution: Securely attach all tubing to prevent slipping. Observe the laws and regulations of the water distribution company valid in the location where the unit is operated. For applications near the ambient temperature, the cooling coil (20) must be connected to the water mains. SERIAL ALARM STAND-BY...
HE / SE Operating procedures 6.1. Power connection Caution: • Only connect the unit to a power socket with earthing contact (PE – protective earth)! • The power supply plug serves as safe disconnecting device from the line and must be always easily accessible.
