Explanation of signs Danger: This sign is used where there may be injury to personnel if a recommendation is not followed accurately or is disregarded. Note Here special attention is drawn to some aspect. May include reference to danger. Reference: Refers to other information in different Sections.
Brief operating instructions Brief operating instructions This brief instruction shall give you the possibility to operate the unit quickly. For safe operation of the unit it is absolutely necessary to read carefully all the instructions and safety notes! 1. Assemble unit and add items as appropriate ( Section 5).

One of five pump output steps can be selected using the operating menu. On small low-temperature thermostats (e.g. RE 104 or RE 106) and with operation as bath thermostat it is advisable to use output step 2. The advantage is a low heat generation while having a uniform circulation.
Unit description Temperature indication, control, and safety circuit The equipment is provided with a 7 segment LCD-Display (3 places) with additional symbols for ½ indicating bath temperature and settings as well as operating states. The setpoint can be input and additional adjustments can be made using either two or three keys.
Unpacking Unpacking After the unit and accessories have been unpacked they have to be examined for possible transport damage. If there is any damage visible on the unit, the forwarding agent or the post office has to be notified so that the shipment can be examined. Standard accessories: Bath cover on all low-temperature thermostats except for RE 120...
Preparations Preparations Assembly and setting up − Place the unit on a flat surface − After transport and before starting up, store it standing in upright position for two hours if possible − Do not cover the ventilation openings at the back of the unit and its lower part.
Preparations − The unit can be operated safely up to an ambient temperature of 40°C − Depending on the loading of the refrigeration system, a temporary shut-off can occur, especially in case of an ambient temperature of over 35°C. Additionally a higher ambient temperature results in less refrigerating capacity. −...

Preparations Emptying − Switch off the thermostat, pull out the mains plug! − Drain the bath liquid through the drain cock ! using tubing. − The units are designed for operation with non-flammable and flammable liquids to EN 61010-2-010! Flammable liquids can be operated up to no more than 25°C below the firepoint ( Section 5.3.).

Preparations Connection of external circuits Operation as circulation thermostat − Connect 11-12 mm int. dia. tubing ( Section 5.3.) to the pump connector − Pump outflow connection always in front, return connection always at the back. − If the cross-section of the tubing is too small ! temperature drop between bath and external system due to low flow rate.
Starting up Starting up Connection to the supply Compare the supply voltage against the data on the rating label. Model according to EMC directive EN 61326-1 class B.* − Connect the unit only to a grounded mains power socket (PE). −...
Starting up − The display for LLL (low-level) appears. − The fault triangle is flashing − Press the key. If necessary repeat several times. − Also press the key if the unit had switched off under a fault condition. Setpoint selection −...
Starting up Menu functions − Switching from setpoint selection (level 0) to level 1 using the key − Within one level it is possible to scroll using the keys. − In principle, after each setting has been made it is entered automatically after approx.
Starting up 6.4.2 Pump output − Switch from the actual value display to pump output by and 1x pressing the key combination shown on the left or − move forward from "Refrigeration system" with this key − Display shows P and actual pump output step 1...5. −...
Starting up 6.4.3 User calibration − Remove the external consumers and switch the setting knob of the pump to right side. ( Section 5.4). − A reference thermometer with necessary accuracy is required. Otherwise the factory calibration should not be altered. The reference thermometer has to be inserted far enough and long enough into the bath.
Starting up Example a) Insert a suitable thermometer into the bath (long enough and far enough). b) Remove the external consumers and turn the setting knob of the pump outflows to the right side. c) Set the setpoint to a temperature where you use to work (e.g. set the setpoint to 45°C Section 6.3.) d) Wait until the actual bath temperature has reached the setpoint temperature of 45°C and until the indication on the reference thermometer does not change any more.

Starting up " " " " − When the bath temperature arises above the overtemperature switch-off point. 1. Double signal tone sounds 2. The display shows the indication for overtemperature ttt the fault triangle is flashing ! heating is switched off on both poles, ! pump and refrigeration system are switched off by the electronics.
− If there is any irregularity when testing the safety devices, switch off the unit immediately and pull out the mains plug ! − Have the unit checked by the LAUDA service or the local service organisation! 6.5.3 Pump motor monitoring −...
Starting up 6.5.4 Other error messages − Other error messages shown on display. EEE changes with error code, e.g. 0 ! various temperature probe faults. ! pump fault, proceed as in Section 6.5.3. − If the fault report is repeated ! pull out the mains plug and try whether the motor can be rotated by the fan blade inserting a screwdriver into the ventilation opening at the back of the unit.
Safety notes Safety notes General safety notes A laboratory thermostat is intended for heating and pumping liquids according to the needs of the user. This leads to hazards by high temperatures, fire, and the general hazards by the use of electrical energy. The user is largely protected through the application of the appropriate standard specifications..

Safety notes produced. Ensure appropriate ventilation! • When changing the bath liquid from water to oil, for temperatures above 100 °C, carefully remove all traces of water, also from tubing and from the external consumer, otherwise ! danger of burns through delayed boiling! •...
− Before any maintenance and repair work pull out the mains plug! − Repairs on the control unit must only be carried out by properly qualified personnel! LAUDA thermostats are largely maintenance-free. If the thermostating liquid becomes dirty it has to be replaced ( Section 5.2.).
If the equipment does have to be returned to the factory, it may only be necessary to dismantle the thermostat unit and return it. − If the equipment has to be returned to the factory, please ensure that it is carefully and properly packed. LAUDA accepts no responsibility for damage due to unsatisfactory packing. Ordering spares When ordering spares please quote instrument type and serial number from the rating label.
