Safety recommendations for the operator You received a product developed for industrial use. Nevertheless, avoid strikes to the housing, vibrations, damages to the keypad foil (keys, display) or contamination. Make sure the product is regularly checked for proper condition. Regularly check (at least every 2 years) the proper condition of the mandatory, warning, prohibition and safety labels.
2.1. Installation Log for FL20006 The operator is obliged to keep an installation log for the refrigeration unit if the filling volume of the refrigerant exceeds 3 kg! EN 378-4:2008-06 The installation log must be kept with the unit. Documentation If the information and data is recorded on a computer, the current status must be printed out (hard copy) and kept with the unit.

Safety notes for the user 3.1. Explanation of safety notes In addition to the safety warnings listed above, warnings are posted throughout the manual. These warnings are designated by an exclamation mark inside an equilateral triangle. “Warning of a dangerous situation (Attention! Please follow the documentation).”...
Make sure that the tubing is securely attached. Regularly check the tubing for material defects (e.g., for cracks). Never operate damaged or leaking equipment. Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power source before performing any service or maintenance procedures, or before moving the unit.

Bath fluids Caution: No liability for use of other bath liquids! Please contact JULABO before using other than recommended bath fluids. JULABO takes no responsibility for damages caused by the selection of an unsuitable bath fluid Do not use alcohols.
6.3. Filling Take care that no liquid enters the interior of the circulating cooler. Top view Connect the tubing from the external system to the pump connectors and check for leaks Respect instructions from page 12 to page 14! ...
6.7. 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).
6.8. Remote control: activate – deactivate The recirculating cooler is to be prepared for remote control by a personal computer via the serial interface RS232. Set the interface item from >IOFF< to >ION<. Remote control: activate – deactivate: Switch off recirculating cooler by pressing the mains switch and wait approx.
Safety installations 7.1. 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.
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.

The recirculating cooler is designed for continuous operation under normal conditions. Periodic maintenance is not required. The tank should be filled only with a bath fluid recommended by JULABO. To avoid contamination, it is essential to change the bath fluid from time to time. Repairs: Before asking for a service technician or returning a JULABO instrument for repair, please contact an authorized JULABO service station.
11.1. JULABO Service – Online remote diagnosis JULABO circulators of the HighTech series are equipped with a black box. This box is implemented in the controller and records all significant data for the last 30 minutes. In case of a failure, this data can be read out from the unit by using special software.
11.2. Draining Notice: Store and dispose the used bath fluid according to the laws for environmental protection. Risk of injury for hands when mounting the venting grid. The unit has two drain taps. Both have to be used. First drain the large tank via drain tap A, the drain the remaining liquid via drain tap B.
The extended warranty will apply from the date of JULABO GmbH’s original invoice. JULABO GmbH reserves the right to decide the validity of any warranty claim. In case of faults arising either due to faulty materials or workmanship, parts will be repaired or replaced free of charge, or a new replacement unit will be supplied.
