  • Page 14: Connecting The Moisture Detector (Option)

    Series TC-Standard 4.2.3 Connecting the moisture detector (option) When ordering the cooler with moisture detector option, it will be factory installed inside a flow adapter, or for the filter option installed and connected in the filter head. 4.2.4 Peristaltic pump connector (optional) Coolers ordered with attached peristaltic pump already have it installed and wired.

  • Page 15: Condensate Drain Connection

    Series TC-Standard On glass heat exchangers, the correct position of the seal is important when connecting the gas lines (see image). The seal con- sists of a silicone ring with a PTFE sleeve. The PTFE side must face the glass thread. Glass PTFE Pay attention to the appropriate spanner size when selecting fittings for stainless steel heat exchangers.
  • Page 16 Series TC-Standard WARNING High voltage Damage to the device in case of insulation testing Do not proceed insulation tests with high voltage to the device as a whole! Electric strength test This device is equipped with extensive EMC protection. The necessary tests were carried out at the factory (test voltage 2.1 kV or 2.55 kV DC depending on approval).

  • Page 17: Signal Outputs

    Series TC-Standard 4.4 Signal outputs The device provides different status signals. The maximum switching load of the alarm outputs is limited to 250 V AC/150 V DC, 2 A, 50 VA each. An alarm is triggered by the alarm contact/status output (S2) if the temperature of the cooler is outside the specified limits. It does not indicate if the alarm was triggered due to excess temperature or insufficient temperature.
