® Presto ® 4.1. The Presto principle with closed external system (e.g. double-sided glass vessel). Operating: The operation of the temperature system and the indication is effected via the local control panel (2) and the removable operating device RD(4). Filling : First connect the external consumer.
Caution: Please contact JULABO before using other than recommended bath liquids. JULABO takes no responsibility for damages caused by the selection of an unsuitable bath liquid. Unsuitable bath liquids are liquids which e.g.
Page 11
® Presto Important notice concerning the recommended bath liquids: Bath liquids with a range of application above the fire point ? This temperature system is mainly operated in a closed external system (loop circuit). The contact of the bath liquid with atmospheric oxygen only takes place in the internal reservoir, which is not located directly in the termperature circuit.
