Caution on Installation Caution on Installation Pay special attention to the safety of all personnel when installing and transporting the product. The product is heavy, be careful when installing or moving the product. Only trained personnel can perform work such as installation, transportation and maintenance of the product.
Caution on Installation 2.2 Installation • Fluid leakage from the thermo-con can affect peripheral equipment. Install a drain pan at the bottom of the place where the thermo-con is installed to catch the fluid leakage and prevent this problem. Also, provide a way of detecting fluid leakage, such as a leak sensor, with the drain pan so that an alarm will be generated in the case of leakage.
Caution on Installation 2.3 Mounting The product should be mounted as follows. A fixing foot is prepared for the Thermo-con (accessory). Mount it on the Thermo-con body before use. Remove the 2pcs of screws on the front and back of the Thermo-con respectively, and mount the attached foot.
Caution on Installation 2.4 Piping Ensure the flow rate of the recirculating fluid is as high as possible to maintain the temperature stability. Therefore, the length of the external piping should be minimized and internal diameter should be as large as possible. Piping must have sufficient strength for the maximum discharge pressure of the recirculating circuit.

Preparation for Operation 3.5 Operating Principles The operating principle of the product is explained below 3.5.1 Construction and Principle of Thermoelectric Module The product controls the temperature of the recirculating fluid using thermoelectric modules (Peltier Modules). A thermoelectric module (electronic cooling and heating element) is a device consisting of multiple semiconductor elements.
Preparation for Operation 3.5.2 Construction of temperature controlling device Several thermoelectric modules are installed in a heat exchanger. Radiating water flows on one side of the thermoelectric module, and recirculating fluid flows on the other side of the thermoelectric module. DC output transmitted from a switching power supply is connected to the thermoelectric module, and a controller controls the DC output from the switching power supply.
Preparation for Operation 3.6 Functions 3.6.1 Auto tuning This function sets the values necessary for the control system such as PID (proportional band, integral time, derivative time and ratio of cooling/ heating gain) automatically. *Depending on piping and other conditions, sometimes auto tuning cannot be controlled properly even if it is finished correctly.
Preparation for Operation Internal sensor value for alarm includes the fine control value. Internal sensor value for alarm = Internal sensor value – Fine control value 3.6.6 Setting value memory function (Function that backs up with EEPROM) This function backs up all the manually set values to nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). Even if the power is turned off the set values are saved and will be restored at power on.
