GETTING STARTED:
(Read entire instructions before operating)
STEP #1
This unit should operate with the bottom feet resting on a flat surface. The internal heat exchanger is cooled by
a tubeaxial fan. It is necessary to keep the inlet/outlet air path free from any restrictions that may impede your cooling
performance. A 6" minimum spacing from the rear of the unit to any obstruction is required. External tubing with insulation has
been provided for a total of 12' plumbing line. Trim the tubing and insulation as necessary to minimize the ambient thermal
load. 4 clamps have been provided to attach the tubing (2 to the quick connectors provided and 2 for your load
connectors). The tubing lines are a 3/8" inner diameter. Connect the external plumbing lines to the device(s) being cooled.
STEP #2
Low fluid and low flow indicators have been provided on the front panel. It is necessary to fill the internal
reservoir before you apply power.
approximately 500 ml of fluid. The "add fluid" light will come on when the reservoir is approximately ½ full. There is a visual
indicator of the water level on the side of the unit. Distilled water is the recommended fluid for temperatures to 5 C. For
temperatures below 5 C, a 30% glycol 70% distilled water mix is suggested. Remove the reservoir cap located at the top left
E
corner of the unit and fill the reservoir. Keep the reservoir cap off until the external plumbing is filled and the reservoir is
topped off.
STEP #3
Connect the power cord to an appropriate outlet. The power cord must be connected to a receptacle
protected by a circuit protected per local and or national codes. While you are filling the external lines, position the supply
quick connect upwards. (See Figure A) This will assist in removing air trapped in the lines. At this point, depress the power
switch on the front panel to turn the system on. For a 12' plumbing line, it should take about 30 seconds before the "add
fluid" light illuminates. At this point, turn the power off and add additional fluid. Re-apply power. Another 30 seconds or so
should be enough time to completely fill the lines. Turn off the power switch and top off the reservoir. Reattach the reservoir
cap securely.
Please Note: It may be necessary to add fluid to the reservoir from time to time. The "add fluid" indicator will illuminate if the
reservoir requires a refill. If the "low flow" indicator light appears, check to see if there are any obstructions or leaks within the
plumbing lines.
The "low flow" indicator appears when the flow is approximately 0.3 liter/min or less.
STEP #4
A digital temperature controller has been provided. Hold the * button and adjust
More detailed temperature control information has been included with your product information packet. We suggest
changing the temperature controllers programming to a PID control method and then performing an autotune for better
temperature control.
We hope you enjoy your new Ameritemp™ series liquid chiller. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our
