Always check the device, the LiBus cable and the hoses for damage and leaks before operation. Any defects found must be remedied in line with good professional practice before operation. Never operate the device without heat transfer liquid. Flow controller MID 80 5 / 38...
The device may only be operated as intended and under the conditions specified in this manual. Any other type of operation is considered improper and may impair the protection supported by the device. LAUDA accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper use of the device.
Heat transfer liquids are used to control the temperature. LAUDA heat transfer liquids are recommended for the flow controller. LAUDA heat transfer liquids have been tested by the company LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG and approved for the flow controller.

The pressure indication of the pump on the Integral IN display switches to the measured pressure level in MID 80. In the basic window of the constant temperature equipment, the pressure of the heat transfer liquid at the outlet of the flow controller is displayed in the direction of the application.

Switch off the constant temperature equipment at the mains switch. This also switches off the flow controller. Disconnect the constant temperature equipment from the power supply (mains plug) before carrying out any further installation or maintenance work. Flow controller MID 80 21 / 38...
The maximum pressure value must be lower than the bursting pres- sure of the connected application. If the set maximum pressure is reached during operation, the constant temperature equipment switches off and signals the overpressure alarm. 22 / 38 Flow controller MID 80...
The control parameters should only be configured by quali- fied personnel. A continuous valve and the pump power (on Integral XT) are used as actuating signals for through-flow control. You can parameterize both actuating signals via separate PI controllers. Flow controller MID 80 23 / 38...
Draining the flow controller is required, e.g. to change or replace the heat transfer liquid. The device must also be completely drained before transport or disposal. There is approximately 1 liter of heat transfer liquid in the device. 24 / 38 Flow controller MID 80...
