    Operation Operation 5.1. Preparations • Place the unit in an upright position. • The place of installation should be large enough and provide sufficient air ventilation to ensure the room does not warm up excessively because of the heat the instrument rejects to the environment. (Max. permissible ambient temperature: 35 °C).
  • Page 19: Return Flow Safety Device

    Recirculating coolers Notice: Cooling water circuit Risk of oil leaking from the cooling circuit (compressor) of the recirculating cooler into the cooling water in case of a fault in the circuit! Observe the laws and regulations of the water distribution company valid in the location where the unit is operated.
  • Page 20: Bath Fluids

    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. Water: The quality of water depends on local conditions.
