(bath fluid). Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations The products of JULABO Labortechnik GmbH warrant a safe operation if installation, operation and maintenance is carried out according to common safety regulations. This section informs you about potential dangers that may arise from operating the recirculating cooler and also mentions the most important safety precautions.
This unit is designed for operation in a controlled electromagnetic environment. This means that transmitting devices (e.g. cellular phones) should not be used in the immediate vicinity. Magnetic radiation may influence other units with components susceptible to magnetic fields (e.g. a monitor). We recommend to keep a minimum distance of 1 m. Permissible ambient temperature: max.

8.4. Switching on / Start - Stop Switching on: The recirculating cooler is turned on and off with the mains switch. The unit performs a self-test. All segments of the 4-digit LED temperature DISPLAY and all indicator lights will illuminate (as illustrated on the left).
8.7. AUTOSTART ON / OFF The recirculating cooler has been configured and supplied by JULABO according to N.A.M.U.R. recommendations. This means for the start mode, that the unit must enter a safe operating state after a power failure (non-automatic start mode). This safe operating state is indicated by „OFF“...
Safety installations 9.1. Excess temperature protection This safety installation is independent of the control circuit. When the temperature of the bath fluid has reached the safety temperature (85 °C), a complete shutdown of the compressor and pump is effected. The alarm is indicated by optical and audible signals (continuous tone) and on the LED-DISPLAY appears the error message "Error 14".

Clean air-cooled condenser. • Check the flow rate and cooling water temperature on water-cooled condenser. If the unit cannot be returned to operation, contact an authorized JULABO service station. Disturbances that are not indicated. Overload protection:: a) for cooling machine b) for pump motor After a short cooling interval, the unit will automatically start running.
11. Electrical connections Notice: Use shielded cables only. The shield of the connecting cable is electrically connected to the plug housing. The unit ensures safe operation if connecting cables with a maximum length of 3 m are used. The use of longer cables does not affect proper performance of the unit, however external interferences may have a negative impact on safe operation.
12.2. Communication with a PC or a superordinated data system If the recirculating cooler is put into remote control mode the MULTI-DISPLAY (LED) will read „R -OFF-„ = REMOTE STOP. The recirculating cooler is now operated via the computer. In general, the computer (master) sends commands to the recirculating cooler (slave).
