HT30-M1 Operating manual Intended use The High Temperature Circulator HT30-M1 is to be employed especially for closed tempering circuits in the laboratory, the technical institution or the production, like e.g. for distillation plants, reaction vessels, autoclaves, injection moulding tools. JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi-luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products.
Operator responsibility – Safety instructions Operator responsibility – Safety instructions 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.
Colors: yellow, black Hot surface warning. (The label is put on by JULABO) Observe the instructions in the manuals for instruments of a different make that you connect to the circulator, particularly the corresponding safety instructions. Also observe the pin assignment of plugs and technical specifications of the products.

HT30-M1 Make sure that the tubing is securely attached. Regularly check the tubing for material defects (e.g. for cracks). Never operate damaged or leaking equipment. Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power source before performing any service or maintenance procedures, or before moving the unit.
Page 18
Safety notes for the user Notice: Check the safety installations at least twice a year! Excess temperature protection according to IEC 61010-2-010 With a screw driver turn back the adjustable excess temperature protection until the shut- down point (actual temperature). Low level protection To check the function of the float of this unit it cannot be operated manually.
HT30-M1 Preparations 5.1. Setup High temperature circulator HT30 as well as High temperature circulator HT30 with C.U. cooling unit: as a desktop unit Place the circulator on an even surface on a pad made of non-flammable material. as a stand-mounted unit Place the unit in an vertical position.
–CoolingMax- has to be adjusted to a value of > 0 (Recommendation: 100%). So the automatical control of the cooling can become active (see 8.6. Limits). Installation of the C.U.-unit JULABO Order-No. 9790100 C.U. cooling unit Use the leader pins (62) to fix...

Respect the flow direction (arrow) Connect the cooling water to the magnetic valve and to the outflow of cooling water (44) by means of tubes 8 mm ID.
Page 22
Preparations 5.3. Inert gas superimposition Warning: Gas leakage Danger of asphyxiation Due to the system design, the cooling zone of circulator is not hermetically sealed since the cooling zone is also used as an expansion vessel for the expanding heat carrier medium in heating mode.
Fire or other dangers when using bath fluids that are not recommended: Please contact JULABO before using other than recommended bath liquids. JULABO assumes no liability for damage caused by the selection of an unsuitable bath fluid. Unsuitable bath fluids are fluids which, e.g.,...
Danger of explosion Burning of people’s skin Difficulties in breathing due to hot atmosphere JULABO supplies the metal tubes with assembly instructions (No. 1.950.0013). There all the instruction for assembly are indicated. They absolutely have to be respected. Safety recommendations Employ suitable connecting tubing.
1. Connect control cable (55) with control exit (35) of the control electronics M1 and latch the saftey loop. Lengthening piece for control cable, 5 m - JULABO Order-No. 8 980 125 2. If available screw the C.U.-cooling unit tightly to the control exit (56a) of the HT30 by means of the control cable (56).
Page 26
Preparations Filling 1. Attach a tube at the overflow nozzle (48) and lead it into a suitable vessel. 2. Remove the screw plugs from the pump connection (50, 51) and connect it to the external system by means of metal tubes (open end wrench SW19) 3.
HT30-M1 5.8. Degasifying During the filling process the pump fluidizes air bubbles into the tempering liquid. In the automatic degasifying mode those and other light solvent substances are slowly drained from the oil via the breather tube. Notice: In the automatic degasifying mode the breather tube between heating and cooling zone is opened again and again.

HT30-M1 8.6. Limits The limits IntMax and IntMin are only valid under external control (see 7.5. Internal / external control) They restrict the temperature of the internal bath to the desired maximum/minimum, also if the controller would require a higher/lower temperature for the external system. As a result the external setpoint may thus not be reached.
Menu functions 8.7. Interface The interface parameters are set by selecting the submenu „Interface“ on the programmable controller. Normally, this is a one-time-only adjustment. Press enter to select the submenu „Interface“. Select the desired option with the up/down cursor keys Enter the desired value for the flashing digit.
Page 53
HT30-M1 ATC Int: ATC serves to compensate a temperature difference that might occur between circulator and a defined measuring point in the bath tank Circulator (T because of physical properties. Measuring point (T The difference temperature ( T = T ) is determined and stored as compensating value (example T = -0.8 °C).
Replace the tubing and replenish the bath tank with the bath liquid. The float is defect (e. g., because damaged in transit). Repair by authorized JULABO service personnel. Failure of one or both temperature sensors of the CU-unit. Cable of the working temperature sensor interrupted or short-circuited.

After eliminating the malfunction, press the mains power switch off and on again to cancel the alarm state. If the unit cannot be returned to operation, contact an authorized JULABO service station. Mains Fuses: Mains circuit breakers (resettable) for the circulator (16 A) and the CU-unit (4 A) on the rear of the housing are safety machines.
Electrical connections 10. Electrical connections Notice: Use shielded cables only. The shield of the connecting cable is electrically connected to the plug housing. RS232/RS485 serial interface (30) This port can be used to connect a computer with an RS232 or RS485 cable for remote control of the circulator.
