This operating manual has been designed to help you gain an understanding of the operation and possible applications of our circulators. For optimal utilization of all functions, we recommend that you thoroughly study this manual prior to beginning operation.
Operating manual Operating manual Intended use JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath tank. JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi- luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products. Direct temperature control means unprotected contact of the object with the bath medium (bath fluid).
