1. Intended use
JULABO recirculating coolers have been designed for temperature application to specific fluids. The
pump connections can be used for cooling applications in an external circuit at a constant temperature.

JULABO water baths are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi-
luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products. Direct temperature
control means unprotected contact of the object with the bath medium (bath fluid).

1.1. Description
 The recirculating coolers are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The
implemented microprocessor technology allows to set and to store the setpoint that
can be indicated on the LED temperature display.
 The PID temperature regulation is used to withdraw heat from the bath fluid by
means of the cooling machine and to automatically regulate the required need.
 Electrical connections:
PID1 1. The serial interface RS232 allows modern process technology without
additional interface.
2. Alarm output for external alarm message.
RS232  Manually adjustable by-pass (handwheel) to reduce the pump capacity
(e. g. for glass equipment).

2. Operator responsibility – Safety instructions


The products of JULABO ensure safe operation when installed, operated, and maintained according to
common safety regulations. This section explains the potential dangers that may arise when operating
the circulator and also specifies the most important safety precautions to preclude these dangers as
far as possible.
The operator is responsible for the qualification of the personnel operating the units.
 The personnel operating the units should be regularly instructed about the dangers involved with
their job activities as well as measures to avert these dangers.
 Make sure all persons tasked with operating, installing, and maintaining the unit have read and
understand the safety information and operating instructions.
 When using hazardous materials or materials that could become hazardous, the unit may be
operated only by persons who are absolutely familiar with these materials and the unit. These
persons must be fully aware of possible risks.

Notice:
Recommendation in case of single-phase current supply (e.g. FL250x):
The safety cutouts of the house wiring should have the trait „C“ (C16A).

WARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

14
5. Installation
 Place the unit on an even surface on a base made of nonflammable
material. Using the castors (10a, 10b) move the unit to the intended
location.
For better stability, apply the holding breaks on the front casters (10a).
 Cooling machine, pump motor and electronics produce intrinsic heat that is
dissipated via the venting openings.! Never cover these openings!
 Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear venting grids.
 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).
For a fault (leakage) in the refrigeration system, the standard EN 378
prescribes a certain room space to be available for each kg of refrigerant.
> For 0.52 kg of refrigerant R-404A, 1 m3 of space is required.

Rear view Example: FL2503  Connect the tubings for cooling the external system to
the pump connectors M16x1 for feed and return (14)
on the rear of the recirculating cooler.
min
– Return - Feed

 Connect a piece of tubing to the overflow connector


(15) and drain into a suitable vessel, which always has
to be placed lower thant the exit „Overflow“.
IN OUT

 Turn the adjusting valve (13) counter-clockwise to set


the lowest manometric pressure.

 Do not set up the unit in the immediate vicinity of heat


sources and do not expose to sun light.
 Before operating the unit after transport, wait about
one hour after setting it up. This will allow any oil that
has accumulated laterally during transport to flow back
down thus ensuring maximum cooling performance of
the compressor.

 Only water cooled models - FLW:


Example: Ensure circulation of cooling water by connecting the
OUT PVC-tubing
tubing to cooling water inlet (IN)and outlet (OUT) on
the rear (18) of the recirculating cooler.

15
Even high quality heat exchangers as they are installed in our equipment can be
damaged by unsuitable cooling water.
The quality of the cooling water depends on the local conditions.
The heat exchanger may become leaky due to corrosion or it may become clogged due
to particulate matter

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.

Caution: Pump pressure


 Determine and check the max. admissible pressure for the external circuit before
putting the unit into operation. The max. pressure is determined by the weakest
element in the circuit (e. g. glass equipment).
 Securely attach all tubing to prevent slipping.

Notice: Flood hazard!.


In case the system to be cooled is located at a higher level than the recirculating
cooler, take note of bath liquid flowing back when the unit is switched off.
Return flow safety device
Should the filling volume of the bath tank not be sufficient, prevent the liquid from
flowing back by using shut-off valves..

7. Operating procedures
7.1. 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.
 Due to the high concentration of lime, hard water is not suitable for temperature
control because it leads to calcification in the bath.
 Ferrous water can cause corrosion - even on stainless steel.
 Chloric water can cause pitting corrosion.
 Distilled and deionized water is unsuitable. Their special properties cause corrosion
in the bath, even in stainless steel.
No liablity for use with water. Danger of freezing at working temperatures <5 °C.

Recommended bath fluids:


Bath fluids Temperature range
soft/decalcified water 5 °C to 80 °C

See website for list of recommended bath fluids.


Contact: see page 5

7.2. Power connection


Caution:
 Only connect the unit to a power socket with earthing contact (PE – protective earth)!
 The power supply plug serves as safe disconnecting device from the line and must
be always easily accessible.
 Never operate equipment with damaged mains power cables.
 Regularly check the mains power cables for material defects (e.g. for cracks).
We disclaim all liability for damage caused by incorrect line voltages!

Recommendation in case of single-phase current supply (e.g. FL250x):


The safety cutouts of the house wiring should have the trait „C“ (C16A).

Make sure that the line voltage and frequency match the supply voltage specified on the
type plate.

11.2. 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). The recirculating cooler sends data (including error messages) only
when the computer sends a query.


In remote control mode:
After a power interruption the order to start and all values which have to be
adjusted must be resent from the personal computer via the interface.
AUTOSTART is not possible.

A transfer sequence consists of:


command out/in command
space (; Hex: 20) out/in command
parameter (the character separating decimals in a group is the period)
out command
end of file (; Hex: 0D) out/in command

The response (data string) after an in command is always followed by a line


feed (LF, Hex: 0A).

Important times for a command transmission:


To ensure a safe data transfer, the time gap between two commands should
be at least 250 ms.
The recirculating cooler automatically responds to an in command with a data
string followed by a LF (Line Feed). The next command should only be sent
after 10 ms.

The commands are divided into in or out commands.


in commands: asking for parameters to be displayed
out commands: setting parameters

27

The out commands are valid only in remote control mode.

Examples:
Command to set the working temperature to15,5 °C:
out_sp_00  15.5
Command to ask for the working temperature
