Operating manual

1. Intended use

JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath tank.

The units feature pump connections for temperature control of external systems (loop circuit).

JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semiluxury 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

SMART

PUMP



The circulators are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The implemented microprocessor technology allows to set and to store different values that can be indicated on the VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY. Three menu keys facilitate adjusting setpoints, warning and safety functions and menu functions.



Temperature- and time-dependent processes can be stored and executed using the integrated programmer.



The control electronics including “ICC - Intelligent Cascade Control” automatically adjust the heat supply to the thermal requirements of the bath.



The TCF - Temperature Control Features give the user access to all important temperature control parameters. This means full control of the control behavior at all times and the ability to manually adjust or adapt the controls to the specific application.



Absolute Temperature Calibration (ATC3) provides high temperature stability at all points in the bath. With the 3-point calibration, an offset is adjusted at three temperatures to ensure an accurate temperature pattern at the selected spot in the bath over the entire temperature range.



Electrical connections:

The serial interface, switchable from RS232 to RS485, allows modern process technology without additional interface.

Connection for Pt100 external sensor for external temperature measurement and control.

Alarm output for external alarm message or control of JULABO refrigerating baths or solenoid valve (cooling water).

The electronic module (option) provides 3 further analog connections (alarm input, standby input, recorder output, programmer input).



The excess temperature protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010 is a safety installation independent from the control circuit. This protection can be indicated and set on the VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY.



The early warning system for low level signals that bath fluid needs to be refilled before the low level protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010 causes a complete shutdown of the main functional elements.



Intelligent pump system: The pump capacity (electronically adjustable via the motor speed) enables to adapt to varying conditions for internal and external temperature applications.

• hazardous to health

• environmentally unsafe i.e.: dangerous

The user alone is responsible for the handling of these substances!

The following questions shall help to recognize possible dangers and to reduce the risks to a minimum.

• Are all tubes and electrical cables connected and installed?

Note: sharp edges, hot surfaces in operation, moving machine parts, etc.

• Do dangerous steams or gases arise when heating?

Is an exhaust needed when working?

• What to do when a dangerous substance was spilled on or in the unit?

Before starting to work, obtain information concerning the substance and determine the method of decontamination.

Notice: Check the safety installations at least twice a year!

• Excess temperature protection according to IEC 61010-2-010.

With a screwdriver turn back the adjustable excess temperature protection until the shut-down point (actual temperature).

Preparations

5. Preparations

5.1. Installation

• Place the unit on an even surface on a pad made of non-

flammable material.

F34: The circulator fitted with a stainless steel bridge is placed on on the back of the bath tank leaving the bath open on the front side.

• 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 radiates to the environment. (Max. permissible ambient temperature: 40 °C).

With regard to a disturbance in the cooling loop (leakage), the guideline EN 378 prescribes a certain room space to be available for each kg of refrigerant.

The necessary amount of refrigerant is specified on the type plate.

> For 0.25 kg of refrigerant R134a, a room space of 1 m

3 is required.

> For 0.52 kg of refrigerant R404A, a room space of 1 m

3 is required.

> For 0.49 kg of refrigerant R507, a room space of 1 m

3 is required.

• Set selector dial for cooling machine in position "1" for operation with HE circulator.

(only F25, F34)

• Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear venting grid.

• 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:

Ensure circulation of cooling water by connecting the tubing to cooling water inlet and outlet on the rear of the refrigerated circulator.

• Cooling water connecter G¾"

• Cooling water see page 18

5.2. Bath fluids

Caution:

Carefully read the safety data sheet of the bath fluid used, particularly with regard to the fire point!

If a bath fluid with a fire point of

≤65 °C is used, only supervised operation is possible.

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.

26

HE

• 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.

Recommended bath fluids:

Caution:

Fire or other dangers when using bath fluids that are not recommended:

Use only nonacidic and noncorrosive bath fluids.

JULABO assumes no liability for damage caused by the selection of an unsuitable bath liquid.

Unsuitable bath fluids are fluids which, e.g.,

• are highly viscous

(much higher than recommended at the respective working temperature)

• have a low viscosity and have creep characteristics

• have corrosive characteristics or

• tend to crack.

• No liability for use of other bath fluids!

The circulator is used for temperature application to external, closed systems (loop circuit) with simultaneous temperature application in the circulator bath.

• Unscrew the M16x1 collar nuts on the pump connectors with a 19 mm (3/4“) wrench and remove the sealing disks. Using the collar nuts, screw on the tubing connection fittings (for tubing 8 mm or 12 mm in diameter) delivered with the unit and tighten firmly. (Pressure pump: 22, suction pump: 21)

• Push on the tubings, and secure with tube clamps.

21 22

• Attach the tubings to the connectors of the external closed system, e.g., an instrument with a pressure-resistant temperature jacket or a temperature coil, and fasten with tube clamps to prevent slipping.

Temperature application to external, open systems

The circulator is equipped with both a pressure and suction pump for external temperature application in open systems.

Differing flow rates of the pressure and suction pumps should be compensated. To maintain a constant liquid level, the JULABO

„D+S“ Level Adapter is recommended for the external bath tank.

The flow rate of the pressure pump will be then regulated by a built-in float device. The liquid level may be changed by a height adjustment on the „D+S“ Level Adapter.

S = Suction pump connection

D = Pressure pump connection

K = Float

H = Height adjustment

Accessory: „D+S“ Level Adapter Order No. 8 970 410

Important:



The liquid level should be equal in the internal and external baths (absolute height).



If you take out samples (for example Erlenmeyer flasks) from the external bath, turn the circulator off with the Start/Stop key.

28

Return flow safety device

If the liquid levels in the circulator bath and the external system are at different heights, overflowing must be prevented after the power has been turned off.

Take care to fully observe the safety and warning functions of the circulator.

Factory settings: OFF

Notice:

The circulator has been configured and delivered by JULABO in accordance with the NAMUR recommendations. This means for the start mode that the unit must enter a safe operating status after a power failure. This safe operating status is indicated by the message „OFF“ or

„R OFF“ on the VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY.

A complete, all-pole shutdown of the main functional elements such as heater and pump motor is effected.

The values set on the circulator remain saved and the unit is restarted by pressing the start/stop key in manual control.

In remote control mode the values need to be resent by the PC via the interface.

If such a safety standard is not required, the NAMUR recommendations can be bypassed with the AUTOSTART function thus allowing a direct start of the circulator by pressing the mains switch or using a timer.

ATC serves to compensate a temperature difference that might occur between circulator and a defined measuring point in the bath tank because of physical properties.

Principle:

For ATC calibration, in steady state the bath temperature at the location of the temperature sensor (CT) is determined at the respective adjusted working temperature. This value is then set on the circulator in the menu

Activate the standby input:

1. Under menu item > EXT-STBY <, set the parameter to >ACTIV<.

2. Connect an external contact ‚AK‘ (e.g. for switch-off) or an alarm contact of the superordinated system.

In case the connection between Pin 2 and Pin 3 is interrupted by opening the contact ‚AK‘, a complete shutdown of the circulating pump and heater is effected, and the unit enters the condition „E OFF“.

If the contact is reclosed, the instrument returns to the standby state and

„E OFF“ is displayed. Press to start.



Additional tips for using the STANDBY input:

The standby function can be used in conjunction with the AUTOSTART feature

1. If the Autostart function is NOT turned ON, the standby input is used as described above.

2. If the Autostart function is enabled, the instrument will revert back to the original method of entering the setpoint (i.e. keypad, RS232,

Analog input, etc.).

Entering the setpoint with the keypad. e.g.

As described above, a bipolar shutdown is accompanied by displaying the „E OFF“ state. The circulator starts again when the contact is reclosed. The temperature of the bath fluid changed during the „E OFF“ state.

Entering the setpoint with the programmer.

The display E OFF appears. The setpoint value and the time are both held at the current value. The temperature of the bath fluid will be held constant at this temperature. The programmer continues once the contact is reclosed.

Notice: This is not an actual shutoff feature.

(Serial interface refer to page 56)

2. In the menu > MENU CONFIG < set the menu item

to

.

3. Connect both units with an interface cable..

Like all parameters which can be entered through the keypad, interface parameters are stored in memory even after the circulator is turned off.

12.2. Communication with a PC or a superordinated data system



If the circulator is put into remote control mode via the configuration level, the

VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY will read “R -OFF-” = REMOTE STOP. The circulator is now operated via the computer.

In general, the computer (master) sends commands to the circulator (slave).

The circulator sends data (including error messages) only when the computer sends a query.

In remote control mode, the start command and all values to be set must be resent by the PC via the interface in case of a power interruption.

AUTOSTART is not possible.

A transfer sequence consists of:

• command

• space ( ⇔; Hex: 20)

• parameter (decimal separation with a period)

• end of file (

↵; Hex: 0D)

The commands are divided into in and out commands.

in commands: retrieve parameters

out commands: set parameters

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 circulator 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 out commands are valid only in remote control mode.

Command to set the working temperature > SETPNT 1< to 55.5 °C out_sp_00
