Quick Start Guide
Safety Precautions:
The unit is designed for indoor use only.
Never place unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, inadequate ventilation,
or corrosive materials are present.
Never use flammable or corrosive fluids with this unit.
Never connect process fluid lines to your facility water supply or to any pressurized
liquid source.
If your unit is equipped with a positive displacement pump (PD1 or PD2), ensure your
application plumbing lines and fittings are rated to withstand a minimum of 115 psi.
Before using any fluid or performing maintenance where contact with the fluid is likely
refer to the manufacturer's MSDS for handling precautions.

Ensure the reservoir drain plug on the back of the
unit is in place and that all plumbing connections are secure.
Loosen the two thumbscrews securing the reservoir cover
to the unit. Ensure the fluid filter is securely in place in
the bottom of the reservoir. Slowly fill the unit with clean
process fluid until the fluid reaches the reservoir's lip.
Since the reservoir capacity may be small compared to your
application and air may need to be purged from the lines,
have extra cooling fluid on hand to keep the system topped
off when external circulation is started. Failure to keep the
reservoir full to the lip will result in loss of cooling capacity.
Replace the reservoir cover and tighten the thumbscrews.
The lid must remain secure to minimize evaporation and
keep debris out of the reservoir.

Verify the appropriate voltage. Insert female end of
power cord into the chiller power inlet and then insert male
end of power cord into a power outlet.

Place the circuit protector to the up position, the
controller will flash and the alarm will momentarily sound.

Connect the proCess oUTLeT
fluid inlet on your application. Connect the proCess
INLeT to the fluid outlet on your application.
Ensure all connections are secure and that the proper
sealant/lubricant for the fitting material is used. (If
Teflon tape is used, ensure the tape does not overhang
®
the first thread as it could shred and get into the fluid.)
Acceptable fluids are:
• Filtered/Single Distilled water
• 0 - 75% Ethylene Glycol/Water
• 0 - 75% Propylene Glycol/Water
• Deionized water (1 - 3 MΩ-cm, compensated)
