The Unistats are temperature control machines with either external closed (e.g. jacketed reactors) or for external open (e.g. calibration baths) applications. Unlike conventional “open-bath” or “re-circulating thermostats”, Unistats contain no internal bath. Due to the low internal volume combined with high performance refrigeration and heating technology, a very short cooling and heating time compared with conventional bath technology can be achieved. Instead of a bath, as used in conventional bath and circulation thermostats which is also used to accommodate the expansion of the thermal fluid with temperature, we use a passive temperature controlled expansion vessel.

Description
Unistats are highly responsive temperature control machines that have been designed to be used with either external closed (e.g. jacketed reactors) or for external open (e.g. calibration baths) applications. Unlike conventional “open-bath” or “re-circulating thermostats”, Unistats contain no internal bath.
Due to the low internal volume combined with high performance refrigeration and
heating technology, a very short cooling and heating time compared with conventional bath technology can be achieved.
Instead of a bath, as used in conventional bath and circulation thermostats which is also used to accommodate the expansion of the thermal fluid with temperature, we use a passive temperature controlled expansion vessel.
With the integrated speed controlled pump fitted in the table models and some floor standing models, it is possible to control flow and / or pressure of the thermal fluid and thus can be exactly adapted for the required application. With floor standing models using larger pumps and cooling powers, this function is taken over by an external optional VPC-module.
With help of the self optimising cascade controller, you obtain the optimum control
results under steady state conditions as well as by set-point changes and with
exothermic reactions. One can choose between aperiodic or with a small overswing
(faster) control.
Information and temperature development can be easily read via the large graphic
display screen (with touch screen) as well as give command inputs.
A comfortable menu guidance eases the operation of the machine.
With help of the digital interfaces RS232, RS485, the analogue 0/4-20 mA or 0-10V
interface as well as various digital in and output possibilities (all according to the
NAMUR), and fitted as standard, the machine can be fitted without problem into many laboratory automation systems
The removable Unistat Pilot can be used as a remote control
External temperature control requirements can be easily met via the external Pt100
connection (NAMUR standard)
The integrated temperature-ramp function as well as the internal programmer underline the high level of operator comfort. The integrated programmer offers the possibility to make and then call up 10 temperature programs with a maximum of 100 steps.
The thermostat uses an over temperature protection in accordance with DIN EN 61010-
2-010, which is independent of the actual control circuits

Duties of responsible person
The operating instruction is to be kept easily accessible and in immediate vicinity of the unit. Only suitably qualified personnel should operate this unit. Personnel should be properly trained before operating the unit. Make sure that the operators have read and understood the instruction manual. Supply appropriate Personal Protective Equipment as required.
Operator requirements
Only authorised personnel should operate this unit. Personnel should be properly trained before operating the unit. The minimum age for operators is 18 years. Personnel under
18 years should only operate the unit under the direct supervision of qualified personnel. The operator is responsible for third parties within the working area.
Machine operator duties
Make sure that the operators have read and understood the instruction manual. Please observe the safety instructions. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves) should be worn when operating the unit.
Work area
Work area is defined as the area in front of the machines control panel. Work area is determined by the peripheral equipment connected by the operator.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure a clear, safe working area around the temperature control unit. The arrangement of the work area should be made after considering access to, and risk assessment of, the area and application.

Your temperature control unit is designated a Class III FL.
ELO: Electronic Over-temperature Switch
This temperature control unit is equipped with an electronic over-temperature switch.
Temperature sensors are built in for the fluid outlet temperature and the temperature in the expansion vessel. There is a simple method of entering the triggering temperature for each sensor.
A mechanical tool is no longer required to change the over-temperature settings. The over-temperature switch can only be adjusted after the user has re-entered a code displayed on the Unistat Pilot´s display. This procedure avoids unintentional changes being made to the setting and replaces a mechanical tool by software.
10
A new feature is the Process Safety function. This function provides further protection for the operators and application. A classic over-temperature device unit would trip and cause a shutdown if over-temperature cut-off temperature was reached. This could occur under circumstances where more heat was being generated by a process
(exothermic) than the unit could remove. Switching the temperature control unit off would remove the only possible method of cooling the application down. Consequently, the temperature would be able to further increase, creating a risk of injury to personnel or damage to the application, for example by over-heating a liquid into pressurised vapour.
Using the Process Safety function, the controller recognises when the over-temperature cut-off is reached, and switches the cooling on. The compressor automatic is automatically set to always on. Even if the temperature continues to rise, the refrigeration machine will increase its cooling to maximum to minimise the heating.

Evacuate the area, following local regulations and procedures to prevent injury or loss of life! Refer to the MSDS Safety information for the thermal fluid concerned!
11
Environmental Conditions
This unit, and operations, will comply with DIN EN 61010-1:2001, only when it is located in suitable environmental conditions.
- for indoor use only;
- installation site ≤ 2000 m altitude;
- installed on a level, even, non flammable surface;
- maintain a clearance above and around the unit of 10 cm for water-cooled units, and 20cm for air-cooled units, to allow air to circulate around the unit;
- for ambient temperature conditions please refer to the technical data sheet; remaining within these ambient conditions is imperative in ensuring accurate operation;
- maximum relative humidity of 80% up to 32°C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C
- use only as long a power cord as necessary;
- the unit should be located so as not to restrict access to the mains power switch;
- mains voltage should be ±10% of the rated value;
- avoid voltage spikes;
- transient voltage surges as they occur normally in the supply grid;
- clean rating 2;
- overvoltage category II
12
Operating conditions
Please make sure that the application and system performance is dependent upon the temperature range, viscosity, and flow rate of the thermal fluid:
-
-
Please ensure that the power supply connections are correctly dimensioned.
The temperature control device should be located so, that sufficient fresh air
-
- is available even when working with water cooled units.
Please note that hose connections should be compatible with the thermal fluid used and the working conditions.
When choosing the thermal fluid, not only minimal and maximum temperatures have to be complied with but also have to be suitable regarding burn point, viscosity and / or freezing. Furthermore the thermal fluid has to be
-
-
-
- compatible with all the materials used in the unit.
Pressure changes with the length of hoses (keep as short as possible).
Choose as large a diameter of hoses as possible (the width of the pump connections are considered as a point of reference) and may negatively affect temperature control results. Flow restrictions may occur if a too narrow connector is selected for corrugated hoses.
Do not use water, mixtures of water and anti-freezer as thermal fluid.
The use of unsuitable hoses or hose connections may cause thermal and toxic injury to personal and environment. Temperature control hoses and their connections have to be insulated / secured against contact / mechanical damage.
Non-suitable thermal fluids can negatively affect temperature control and be the cause of negative temperature results and damages. Therefore only use
-
-
- the thermal fluids recommended by the manufacturer and only in the intended temperature and pressure range. The application should be located on approximately the same level or lower than the temperature control device, if temperature control is to be carried out near to the boiling temperature of the thermal fluid. The thermal fluid should have room temperature when filling.
Fill in the thermal fluid slowly, carefully and steadily. At the same time make sure that no thermal fluid overflows (back pressure); it is thereby necessary to wear personal protective equipment, e.g. safety goggles, thermally and chemically resistant gloves, etc.
After filling and setting all necessary parameters the thermoregulation circuit has to be degassed. This is a requirement for proper operation of the device and thus its application.
In the case of pressure-sensitive applications, e.g. glass reactors, observe the maximum inlet pressure of the temperature control device for cross section reduction or shut-off (see data sheet). Take suitable precautions (e.g. pressure limitation for temperature control devices with pressure control, bypass).
In order to avoid danger of overpressure in the system, which could damage the temperature control device or the application, the thermal fluid must always be adapted at room temperature before turning off and a possibly available shut-off valve must be left open (pressure compensation).
13
- Temperature and dynamics within the reactor are determined by the outlet temperature. A differential temperature is created (delta T) between outlet temperature and the temperature within the reactor. This difference in temperature has to be adapted, depending upon type of glass application. As
-
- the differential temperature may exceed the admissible limit values and bursts may occur. Delta T value has to be adapted to the corresponding application.
Therefore please see chapter on Comfort menu
Do not kink the hoses.
Check hoses in regular intervals for material fatigue (e.g. cracks).
With water cooled units please pay special attention to the maximum operating temperature and differential pressure requirements for the cooling water. Therefore please refer to the technical data sheet.
Danger!
If the cooling water contains high levels of minerals, e.g. chloride, bromide then suitable water treatment chemicals should be used. Use only recommended materials to maintain the unit warranty. Further information on corrosion, (appearance and avoidance) can be found on our website www.huber-online.com
.
Please refer to the sections on Intended Use and general safety instructions.
Location
Caution!
- Transport the unit upright
- The unit should be mounted in an upright and secure position, on a solid, stable surface
- Place on a non flammable surface
- Keep the area around the unit clean, to avoid slip and trip hazards
- Set the brakes on the castors once the unit is in position
- Place suitable absorbent material under the unit to catch any condensate and thermal fluid spills
- Any spillage of thermal fluid should be immediately cleaned up
- For large units, check the weight / load capacity for the flooring
14
Thermal fluids
We recommend the thermal fluids shown in our catalogue. The name of a thermal fluid is derived from the working temperature range and the viscosity at 25 °C.
Examples of thermal fluids in our catalogue:
M40.165.10:
• Lower working limit -40 °C
• Upper working limit 165 °C
• Viscosity at 25 °C: 10 mm
2 /s
The data sheet for the thermal fluid used is of utmost importance, and must be read before use. This data sheet should be followed.
• Please note the classification of your machine according to DIN 12876
• The chosen thermal fluid must be compatible with stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A) and FKM!
• The maximum viscosity of the thermal fluid may not exceed 50 mm²/s at the lowest temperature reached!
• The maximum density of the thermal fluid may not exceed 1kg / dm³
Please note:
• For our units we recommend covering with inert gas. Therefore we offer the sealing set listed in our Huber-Catalogue, valid for unistats of the 3 rd generation.

Find control parameters
Two options of controller parameterisation are available:
1. Fast identification (not available with CC-Basic software)
2. Estimate control parameters
To 1. Fast identification:
Delivers a relatively fast and reliable control parameter with which a rapid regulation with a relatively high constancy can be reached.
First, start temperature control and run for some minutes to achieve a suitable stable set-point. During the following do not carry out any changes on the system (e.g. filling / emptying the reactor core, change of agitator speed, change of the process sensor position etc.).
After activating this function, a table with thermal fluids is displayed. Select the appropriate thermal fluid here. If your thermal fluid is not listed in the table, please select no specification. If your thermal fluid is not listed, the controller assumes a thermal fluid with characteristics, which normally results in an overshoot-free (slower) control. After selecting the thermal fluid, you are asked, whether you want to identify and control Internal or Process (cascade or set-point tracking). You are then requested to enter a set-point. Please note, that the identification is only successful, if the new set-point differs from the current set-point by at least 10 K. In the status field of the chart display (60), the information Temp. + Ident. active is displayed.
32
To 2. Estimate Control parameters
In comparison to other temperature control devices on the market which have a fixed control parameter set, we do however offer an additional feature: an estimated control parameter, which by selecting the thermal fluid and quantity, then using one of the parameter sets estimated for your application.
Control dynamics
After the control parameters are detected, control dynamics may be changed (see example below) without making new identification.
You can select between faster regulation behaviour with a small overshoot (submenu point fast, small OS) and a slower regulation behaviour without overshoot (submenu point without overshoot). The default setting is without overshoot. The statement without overshoot only applies where any interfering action is small.

This corresponds to Function F5 in the Funct.-no. menu. This allows the start-up condition, after mains failure to be defined.
The following is true:
Auto-Start function = OFF / Standby
Temperature control will not be restarted when power restored (Default setting)
Auto-Start function= ON / Temp. control active.
After power loss – Temperature control will be restarted on return of power.
Caution!
The end-user should assess the risk and consequences of this setting for their application. The default setting is OFF.
Limits
The following functions are available:
1. Delta T limit (limitation of the jacket temperature to the reactor temperature)
2. Maximum heating power (limitation of the heating power in % steps)
3. Maximum cooling power (limitation of the cooling power in % steps)
4. Go back
You can here set the maximum allowable difference (Delta T limits) between the internal temperature (jacket temperature) and the process temperature when using process control. If the chosen temperature difference is reached, then the temperature control device power is reduced so that this temperature difference is held. This function can protect the application (e.g. glass reactor) against thermal stress caused by too high a Delta T.

Sensor adjustment
There exists a possibility to carry out an adjustment of the internal sensor, the process sensor and the return sensor. We recommend to consult our service department before carrying out any adjustments of the internal sensor and return sensor. An adjustment is only necessary, if due to ageing of sensors measuring is inaccurate or insufficient.
There are different reasons for inaccuracy of the process sensor, e.g. non-linearity, contact resistance. The new generation thermoregulation units give you the opportunity to carry out different adjustments. If the inaccuracy applies over the whole temperature range, adjustment should be carried out only at one point (offset adjustment). If accuracy is not constant over whole temperature range we recommend an adjustment of up to 5 spots. The more spots are included the better are the measuring results afterwards.
For adjustments you will need a reference thermometer with corresponding accuracy.
The sensor of the thermometer has to be positioned as close as possible to the process sensor.
Settings for the process sensor
Start thermo control and enter a set-point, which serves as first adjustment point.
After set-point is reached, wait until the temperature is constant. Choose the menu point Sensor adjustment / Adjust process sensor / New adjustment point from the comfort menu. Enter the temperature measured by the process sensor into the first input field. This value has to be acknowledged via the OK-key. Enter the actual temperature measured via reference thermometer into the second input field. Confirm this value as well. Sensor adjustment at this temperature point is then completed.
Optionally you can then fix a new set-point used for second adjustment point. After set-point is reached you may continue as described above (adjustment at the first adjustment point). To define additional adjustment points, continue in a similar manner.
36

Int. high lim. alarm: (Internal sensor high limit alarm)
Corresponds to the Function F108 in the Function-no. menu.
The temperature monitoring is first activated when the internal (or process) temperature is below the maximum temperature limit. The temperature must “dip” into the limit band by 3 K, before an alarm will be triggered. If the temperature limits are below room temperature, the unit temperature must first reach the temperature band before the monitoring is activated. This method allows the monitoring temperature to be easily checked and changed. An alarm is displayed if the temperature value set here is exceeded for more than 3 seconds.
NOTE: The default setting is set to a value that lies few degrees above the upper temperature limit of the machine.
Int. low lim. alarm (Internal sensor low limit alarm)
Corresponds to the Function F109 in the Function-no. menu.
An alarm is given when the measured temperature is lower than the set limit values for more than 3 seconds.
NOTE: The default setting is set to a value that lies few degrees below the lower temperature limit of the machine.
Proc. high lim. alarm (Process sensor high limit alarm)
Corresponds to the Function nr. F106 in the function menu.
An alarm is displayed if the temperature value set here is exceeded for more than 3 seconds. NOTE: The default setting is set to a value that lies few degrees above the upper temperature limit of the machine.
Proc. low lim. alarm (Process sensor low limit alarm)
Corresponds to the Function nr. F107 in the function menu.
An alarm is given when the measured temperature is lower than the set limit values for more than 3 seconds.
NOTE: The default setting is set to a value that lies few degrees below the lower temperature limit of the machine.
38
Warning time level
As low-level protection you can enter a warning time until the actual switching off of the temperature control unit. In case of low-level, a signal will be sent out (you therefore have to set the signal to ON in the main menu point Acoustic alarm). Level indication will be displayed in red. A switch off, however, will take place after the warning time has elapsed. This function allows you to refill thermal fluid before it comes to a switch off due to low fluid level.

Using the analogue interface, the unit can be controlled via an analogue (0/4-20 mA or
0-10V) signal. An analogue (0/4-20 mA or 0-10V) output signal is also available. The schematic above describes the structure of the analogue input and output. Via the filter constant in the menu point analogue input it is possible to smooth a noisy input signal.
Below is an example using the analogue input to provide a set-point, and the analogue output gives the process temperature. The current / temperature configuration is also shown.
E.g. required operating temperature range is 0°C to 100°C. 0°C should correspond to
4mA. 100°C to 20mA. The 4…20mA (I / O) is available on the analogue interface connector. An alarm should be given when the cable breaks. The unit should be switched off if there is an analogue error.

Please note that the fine signal adjustment functions the same for the analogue output as it does for the input.
Setting information for fine adjustment.
General: When the machine is delivered and after a Reset (Reset AIF input) the interface will be set accurately enough. An adjustment is not necessarily required.
It is possible at any time to adjust the precision of the input channel. This could be required if the set-point input current does not coincide with the expected temperature value. If as shown in point 1 above, an input of 4.000mA does not give exactly 0°C, but maybe 1°C. A fine adjustment can then be made. Change to menu point analogue
interface / config. input / fine adjust / xxxxx. Feed 4.000mA into the interface. Confirm the value. Choose then analogue interface / config. input / fine adjust / xxxxx. Feed then 20.000mA into the interface. Confirm the value. At the end, a current input of exactly 4.000mA should give a set-point of 0°C and a current input of 20.000mA should give a set-point of 100°C.
The fine adjustment of the output channel is done in a similar manner. A sensor value of 0°C and 100°C should give an output current value of 4.000mA and 20.000mA.

PoCo alarm Pot. free Contact (PoCo)
Corresponds to Functions F6, F7, and F8. This function allows a relay contact, in the
ComG@te (46) to be controlled and activated. Please also review the ComG@te section of the manual.
The following functions are available:
OFF:
The PoCo displays the OK status when the unit is ready to operate. This condition is after the internal controller check, approx. 30 sec. after the switch on. The OK status will be ended by switching off the mains or a fault.
Check act. value.:
The relay switches when the current internal temperature is outside the range set between the PoCo minimum and maximum internal temperatures (F6 and F7). The values in functions F6 and F7 are relative to the current set-point. If the range is exceeded the potential free contact is switched (from the OK status), and the unit will continue to operate. If the actual value is in the range, the contact will be reset to the
OK status.
External alarm:
The PoCo relay is only activated if the unit is in “fault status” when it is switched on.
This is so that the alarm is not raised when the unit gets switched off.
If you wish the alarm function together with the work flow principle, please use the
PoCo function OFF.
Unipump / PCS: (Unipump / Process Control System)
This PoCo function is used to connect the signal calling for the circulation pump to start with an external booster pump. This has to be done so that the external pump runs in synchronisation with the circulation pump in the unit, this means that the PoCo activates (to the OK status) as soon as the circulation pump starts.
PCS: An example of this would be when temperature control would be controlled by a
“PCS" via the external control signal (Menu point External control signal or Function
F28), the PoCo can be used to communicate.
Condition PoCo ON means temperature control is activated.
Condition PoCo OFF means temperature control is not activated.
Control by RS232:
The relay is controlled via an RS232 command. Therefore please note our Huber-
Software.
Check process temperature.:
A measured temperature check for the PROCESS SENSOR providing it is not the control sensor. The PoCo relay switches when the current external, (process temperature) is outside the range set between the PoCo minimum and maximum external temperatures.
When the unit is set to internal control, and the PoCo check process temperature” is selected, the temperature of the external sensor is monitored – this sensor can be independent of the internal temperature and the temperature control process. The limits set by F6 and F7 still apply.
46
Unipump with echo:
This function is used to monitor if the Unipump being controlled by the PoCo is operating in synchronisation with the Unistat’s own pump. The operating status of the
Unipump can be signalled via a normally open contact by connecting to a “level” connector. If the Unipump does not operate with the machine, a fault signal will be generated.
This operating mode is very useful if the Unipump has to be monitored, either to guarantee the desired temperature control or to avoid unintended heating of the thermal fluid.
Programmer:
The relay is controlled by a command from a segment within a temperature profile running on the programmer. Please also note the menu point on Enter program.
Check int. temp. abs. (check internal temperature absolute)
The relay switches when the current internal temperature is outside the specific band determined by the maximum and minimum temperature limits. Outside this band PoCo is active, within the band PoCo is inactive.
Check proc. temp. abs. (check process temperature absolute)
The relay switches when the current external temperature is outside the specific band determined by the maximum and minimum temperatures. Outside this band PoCo is active, within the band PoCo is inactive.

Check to make sure that the line voltage matches the supply voltage specified on the identification plate or data sheet.
We disclaim all liability for damage caused by incorrect line voltages!
Safety instructions
Danger!
Caution!
Danger!
Only connect the unit to a power socket with earthing contact (PE – protective earth)!
Do not move the unit from its location while it is running.
Never operate equipment with damaged mains power cables.
Transport protection
The models 610, 610w, 615, 615w, 620w, 625w, 630, 630w, 635w, 910, 910w,
925w, 930w and 950 are provided with a transportation lock for the compressor. This lock must be released prior to the system's commissioning and re-fastened for the system's transport to a different installation site.
Danger!
The four transport protection bolts of the compressor must be brought into the operating position before initial start-up of the temperature control device.
- Releasing the transportation locks (operating position)
Screw up the hexagon head screw (1) on the lower side of the housing using the socket wrench SW17 and tighten it against the weld nut (3).
- Fastening the transportation locks (transport position)
Unscrew the hexagon head screw (1) on the lower side of the housing using the socket wrench SW17 and tighten it against both the lock nuts.
57
You can distinguish between both these positions by feeling whether the supporting washer (2) is loosened (transport position) or is tight (operating position).
Operating position Transport position
Remote control for winter operation and outdoor versions
Valid for models which are designed for winter operation and as outdoor version
In order that operation from within a laboratory or office is possible, the machine possesses a remote control facility. On the side of the machine (note the connection diagram in the attachment SERVICE PORT 52) there is a feed-through for the extension cable between the Unistat Control and Unistat Pilot. Also the cables from the ComG@te can be led through this same feed-through.
Danger!
For models with water cooling please note, that the mains isolator (36) has always be positioned to ON. This is to prevent cooling water from freezing in the inlet and outlet lines with ambient temperatures below 0 °C. If the unit is switched off via the mains isolator (36), the temperature control unit has to be separated from the cooling water circuit and drained. To prevent cooling water from freezing and therefore possible damages to your device (e.g. bursting of cooling water lines) follow the description above.
58
Start up
General
All models must be moved and installed in an upright position. Provide for a stable installation and make sure that the thermostat cannot tilt. Ensure that sufficient fresh air is available for the circulation pump and compressors at the installation site. The warm exhaust air must be able to escape upwards unhindered.
Observe the wrench sizes necessary for connecting the pump to the Unistat. The following table specifies the pump connections and the resulting wrench sizes as well as the rotor torque in Nm. Afterwards always check for leakage and if necessary retighten with the torque increased by 10%

The temperature control device can be retrofitted from 230V / 50Hz to 400V / 50Hz or vice versa. Only an electrical specialist may carry out the retrofitting. Install the device at the planned operation site. Please ensure that there is a 20 cm gap between wall and rear panel, even if you are operating a water cooled design.
The maximum current consumption for 230V operation is slightly less than 16A.
However, since there are 230V electricity networks with lower protection equipment, you will be requested during initial start-up to adapt the current consumption of your device to your electricity network. Apart from 16A current consumption, 13A and 10A are also selectable. If 13A or 10A have been selected, the heating performance of
59
1500 Watt (at 16A) is reduced to approximately 1100Watt (at 10A) as soon as the compressor starts up. The full heating performance is available again, as soon as the compressor has been turned off. This does not negatively affect the control behaviour.
Under the main menu point Limitations, you can adjust your device to your electricity network at any time (if you want to change e.g. from a 230V / 10A electricity network to a 230V / 16A network).
Freestanding models
Please infer the connection data from the data sheet. Install the tempering device at the planned operation site. Please ensure that there is a 70cm gap between wall and rear panel, even if you are operating a water cooled design.
Water-cooling
A cooling water controller is used in Huber tempering devices with water cooling, in order to reduce the cooling water consumption. This only allows as much cooling water to flow as is required by the current load situation of the temperature control device. If the required refrigerating capacity is low, only little cooling water is consumed. No cooling water flows in the OFF state. Only use pressure-resistant hoses in the cooling water circuit.
Caution!
Depending upon mode of operation and available cooling water pressure, a cooling water pressure of > 2 bar can build up in the cooling water supply line. In order to avoid flooding of the premises, check the leak tightness and quality of the hoses, hose connections in regular intervals, and if necessary take appropriate measures
(Replacement). Close down the cooling water supply to the temperature control device even during shorter shutdowns (e.g. over night).
Reinforced hoses must be used for increased safety requirements.
Preparation of devices with water-cooling:
Establish the hose connections for the cooling water. Please infer the position of the cooling water connections from the connection diagram in the appendix.
Cooling water connectors Drainage with seal cap held closed and / or close.
Open all stop valves. Please infer the minimum / maximum differential pressure in the cooling water circuit and the recommended cooling water inlet temperature from the data sheet.

Switch on the unit using the mains switch (36). The unit performs initialisation tests, to check the full functionality of the thermoregulation unit. The control electronics first check the heaters, the sensors and then relays. If an error, or warning condition, arises, a message will be shown on the graphic display (60) giving details of the problem. For further information and assistance please contact our Customer Support Team.
Setting the over-temperature switch
General Information
The over-temperature switch is an independent function of the Unistat Control /
CC-Pilot (with petite fleur) temperature control units. The software and hardware is configured so that essential functions and operations are tested during the self-test when the unit is first powered on. During these tests the sensor are tested for short- and open- circuits. If a problem arises then the unit is automatically prevented from operating until the problem is rectified.
The constant monitoring of the outlet temperature provides safety for the connected application. It will be set immediately after having filled the unit with thermal fluid.
Warning!
The over-temperature switch should be tested at least monthly, and after changing the thermal fluid.
The over-temperature switch should be set at least 25K below the flame point of the thermal fluid. When using DW-Therm, in a closed system, please contact Huber for advice on the appropriate temperature range.
Select the Overtemperature prot. option from the main menu.
When received, the cut-off will be set to 35°C. If the temperature of the thermal fluid is higher then this when filled an alarm will be given after a short time. When this occurs follow the instructions below:

Over-temperature alarm
The temperature control unit and application should be constantly monitoring while carrying out the following procedures!
Option 1:
The over-temperature cut-off is below the flame point of the fluid (recommendation:
-25K below), and the temperature advised by Huber for a closed application using
DW-Therm. Adjust the over-temperature set-point higher so that the unit can be started.
Enter a fluid set-point that is 25K below the flame point of the fluid. Start the temperature control. When the set-point 25K has been reached, adjust the overtemperature cut-off to 25K below the flame point. When using DW-Therm with a closed system, contact Huber for advice.
Option 2:
The over-temperature cut-off is at least 25K below the flame point of the thermal fluid, for DW-Therm in a closed system this is 200°C. Set the over-temperature cut-off to
25K below the flame point of the fluid. Contact Huber for advice when using
DW-Therm in a closed system.
Warning!
Do not forget to reset the over-temperature cut-off temperature!
64
Please note the OT Mode function. There are two options available:
Stop according to DIN 12876:
When the cut-off temperature is reached, heating, cooling and pump are all turned off.
(Default setting)
Process security:
When the cut-off temperature is reached the heating is turned off, but the cooling and pump remain on. The full cooling capacity of the unit remains available for emergency cooling (possible exothermic reaction).
Please ensure that the compressor automatic is switched to always on using the main menu point Compressor automatic (F35) (please see description on Function numbers
and their meanings in chapter Comfort menu).
65
Setting the level indicating meter with capacitive level identification
Besides the sight glass or level indication based on the principle of float switches there are also machines with a level sensor using a capacitive principle. With these units there is a coloured level bar which indicates the level in the graphic display (60).
For these units the main menu point protection functions is extended to: level warning
high and level warning low.
The LOW value can be entered within the range of 0 % to 100 %. The adjustable HIGH value takes into account the LOW value and may not contain a value lower than the
LOW value.
A colour change of the level bar takes place only if the current value lies outside these limits. Please take precautionary measures by refilling thermal fluid when too low a level and respectively drain thermal fluid when level is too high. Please read the appropriate chapters in this manual.
When filling for the first time or if the accuracy of the indication is not satisfactory, then please use the menu point level teaching.
This may apply when e.g. not using anti-freeze for a chiller and not using thermal oil for a unistat. Teaching corresponds to an adjustment of the level sensor with a filling of
100%. Teaching must to be carried out only when using the right heat transfer medium and under ambient temperature conditions. The level is measured by the sensor within the sensor tube.
The level in the sensor tube corresponds to the level in the surrounded container because level is balanced through the level hole. To reach a 100% filling level, either fill the unit to the maximum or reset the level in the sensor tube. A stable filling of the sensor tube is not possible due to the level hole, therefore it has to be set in upside down. The same level hole is responsible for the 100% level.
Therefore open the filling connection. Manually unscrew the black screw cap of the sensor tube. Unscrew and loosen the sensor tube by means of the supplied special spanner. Remount it upside down and screw it back as before. Fill enough thermal fluid into the sensor tube only, that it leaks out of the hole (overflow).
Important: Mount the black screw cap back to ensure a correct capacitive adjustment.
Note that, when activating the teaching in the main menu point, the level indication in the graphic display will rise up to 100%. The accuracy of the indication corresponds to a float switch level indication with 5 positions. Now return the sensor tube to its original position
For air cooled machines and designated outdoor versions:
Dismantle the lid and the left upper casing. Unscrew the knurled screws and remove the lid as well as the left upper casing. Then start teaching as described above.

Setting the set-point limits
The minimum and maximum set-point limits provide safety for the equipment. These limits should be set before starting temperature control and when changing the thermal fluid in relation to the temperature range of the thermal fluid.
The maximum set-point limits the set-point input of the outlet temperature. The minimum set-point protects against viscosity or freezing of the thermal fluid with low temperatures. The set-point input is only possible in the band between maximum and minimum set-point limit.
Select the Set-point limits option from the Main menu. Enter the required minimum / maximum set-point using the rotary knob /key (61), and then confirm it by pressing the rotary knob / key (61).
Check the value of the minimum and maximum set-point for every system change, in particular if the thermal fluid is changed.
The maximum and minimum set-point limits are shown on the standard display screen.
Lightly touching a set-point limit value will bring up the corresponding set-point limit entry screen.
Entering a set-point
Select the Set-point option from the Main menu. The new set-point can be chosen, and confirmed using the key / rotary knob (61). The value of the set-point is limited by the current minimum and maximum set-point limits.
The following is true:
Minimum set-point limit <= set-point <= maximum set-point limit.
If an attempt is made to enter a set point outside these limits, a message will be shown on the graphical display (60) and the input will be ignored.
Lightly touching the current set point shown on the standard screen will bring up the new set-point entry screen.
68
Starting Temperature Control
After filling and fully air purging, the temperature control can be started. Choose the menu point Start Temperature control via the main menu Start&Stop. Confirm and activate by pressing the key / rotary knob (61). Alternatively, one may press the text
Start or Stop at the lower right display edge, or on the function key T3 (65) which lies immediately below, and this leads also to the menu where one can start the temperature control.
Ending Temperature control
The temperature control can be ended at any time by pressing the Stop key (see the lowest line of the touch screen (60), or by pressing the function key T3 (65) which lies underneath. The temperature control and circulation is immediately stopped. The switching off of the compressor takes place after the stepper motor controlled valve for cooling power regulation is driven to a defined position. Alternatively, using the main menu point Start&Stop go to the menu point Stop temperature control, and confirm using the OK or press the rotary knob. Only when the compressor has been stopped by the controller, the mains isolator (36) can be used to turn the power off.
Room temperature should be reached before the temperature control is ended.
Do not close any drain and isolation valves.
69
Filling an externally closed system
Caution!
- Fill to the unit to the minimum level necessary.
- Please refer to local regulations and internal procedures.
- When filling the unit, extra precautions such as earthing the expansion vessel, fluid container funnel and application may be necessary.
- Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) should be worn as required by the fluid
MSDS sheets, and local regulation.
-
Please note the temperature of the thermal fluid. The fluid should be left a room temperature for a few minutes before draining.
Warning!
Overflowing thermal fluid will create a film on surfaces, which should be cleaned up and properly disposed of as soon as possible in accordance with the MSDS information. If thermal fluid is spilled over the unit, the unit should be immediately turned off, and
Huber-trained personnel consulted.
Failure to observe the above precautions may mean that the unit will not comply with all of the requirements of DIN EN 61010-2-010.
Danger!
If an externally closed system is operated with the isolating sleeve fitted into the expansion vessel and therefore against the advice in this manual, a dangerously high pressure can be produced during heating, In contrast, an externally open system cannot be operated without the isolating sleeve in the expansion vessel without overflow of the thermal fluid.

Filling the table model
-
Manually remove the expansion vessel cap (22) from the top of the expansion vessel. If inserted, remove the isolating sleeve (27). This may only be inserted in the expansion vessel for externally open systems.
-
Lift the sight glass cover (24) from the sight glass (23).
-
Carefully pour a suitable thermal fluid into the expansion vessel, or sight glass
(23) with help of appropriate accessories such as a funnel and / or beaker. The thermal fluid flows from the sight glass (23) via the expansion vessel (18) into the machine, then through the hoses into the external application.
Faster filling can be got by the following method:
Open the expansion vessel cap (22). Carefully pour the thermal fluid into the filling port (17). The thermal fluid flows directly into the expansion vessel and further into the pump chamber and application. The level in the sight glass (23) shows the level in the expansion vessel.
-
Start the filling process by selecting the Main menu point Start&Stop. Continue by pressing the sub menu point Start air purge.
The filling process is finished when the fluid level in the sight glass (23) is stable, and does not change when the pump is on or off.
-
Replace the sight glass cover (24) on the sight glass (23).
-
Finally leave the air purging running for a few minutes so that any trapped air bubbles which may cause the machine to trip during temperature control operation, can escape.
-
Note the volume change of the thermal fluid in connection with the operating temperature. At the lowest temperature required, the fluid must be above the
minimum mark in the sight glass, and it must not overflow at the highest temperature required. In case of over filling, drain off the excess fluid into a suitable container via the expansion vessel drain (9) or drain (8). The drain valve
(4) will have to be opened to use the machine drain.
72
Filling the floor standing model / Flat build model
-
Manually remove the expansion vessel cap (22) from the top of the expansion vessel. If inserted, remove the isolating sleeve (27). This may only be inserted in the expansion vessel for externally open systems.
-
Various drain valves must be closed (3 / 5).
-
Open the venting valve expansion vessel (21).
-
Carefully pour a suitable thermal fluid into the expansion vessel, filling port (17) with help of appropriate accessories such as a funnel and / or beaker. The thermal fluid flows via the expansion vessel (18) into the machine, then through the hoses into the external application.
-
Start the filling process by selecting the Main menu point Start&Stop. Continue by pressing the sub menu point Start air purge.
The filling process is finished when the fluid level in the sight glass (23) or the level indication (25) is stable, and does not change when the pump is on or off.
-
Close the expansion vessel cap (22).
-
Finally leave the air purging running for a few minutes so that any trapped air bubbles which may cause the machine to trip during temperature control operation, can escape.
-
Note the volume change of the thermal fluid in connection with the operating temperature. At the lowest temperature required, the fluid must be above the
minimum mark in the sight glass or the level indicator (25) and it must not overflow at the highest temperature required. In case of over filling, drain off the excess fluid into a suitable container via the drain (8) and by opening the drain valves (3 / 5).
Air purging an externally closed application
Please note the chapter on Filling an externally closed application. Choose the menu point start air purge via the function Start&Stop in the main menu This can be activated via the key / rotary selector (61) or the function key Start&Stop in the lower right edge of the touch screen, or the function key 3 (65) which lies directly beneath, and then start Air purge. In externally closed applications (reactors), when the fluid level in the application and unit remain constant as the pump starts and stops, the application has been successfully air-purged.
Alternatively, after Air Purging, the function Degassing is offered. This must be used especially on first commissioning and after changing thermal fluid. Only so reliable operation can be obtained. Pay attention to chapter on Degassing externally closed
applications. With semi-automatic air purging, and a higher tolerance time for the pressure drop, it is possible that pump damage could be caused when at the same time, there is too little fluid in the system which is insufficient to fill the pump chamber.
Avoid this.
73
Degassing an externally closed application
Danger!
If heating too fast, it is possible by having varying boiling point liquids in the thermal fluid, that sudden boiling can occur in the lowest boiling point fluid. An exit of hot fluid through the expansion vessel is the result. Also, the hot remnants of low boiling point fluids will accumulate in the expansion vessel. Due to expansion and material flow of the hot thermal fluid a temperature sensor notes the increasing temperature in the expansion vessel. A passive cooling device prevents too high temperatures in the expansion vessel and therefore protects the thermal fluid. Depending on the type and quantity of the low boiling point fluids, it is possible that the expansion vessel reaches a temperature >70°C. Under the menu point Over-temperature Prot. the tripping temperature of the over temperature sensing can be extended to 100°C in Degassing mode (in normal mode the maximum temperature is limited to 70°C). Be careful of the hot surface of the expansion vessel under this condition. Suitable precautionary measures should be made (contact protection, warning indications).
Water should never be used as thermal fluid, not even with anti-freeze solutions. Please note that some thermal fluids can be hygroscopic (absorb moisture). The effects of this can be seen as the working temperature of the fluid drops. Carrying out the degassing procedure above can remove this water from the thermal fluid. Typical boiling points are: water e.g. 100°C, and ethanol 68°C.
Hygroscopic problems can also be avoided by using an inert gas blanket in the expansion vessel. An accessory sealing kit can be obtained from Huber (Sealing kit
#6523).
NOTE!
-
If the heat transfer fluid is changed from one with a lower boiling point to one with a higher boiling point, then residues from the first fluid will boil off causing vapours in the fluid circuit. The vapours can form bubbles in the fluid line causing a drop in fluid pressure. This can cause a safety cut off of the machine.
When degassing the bubbles collect in the pump housing, pass into the expansion vessel (18) and then escape through the expansion vessel cap / filling port on the top of the vessel (22, 17) as vapour.
-
After cleaning, filling, and air-purging the unit and application as described in chapters Changing thermal fluid / Internal cleaning and Filling an externally
closed application select the Degassing option by pressing the Start&Stop function from the main menu.
-
Start temperature control, and the degassing program.
-
Increase the set-point in steps (say 10K each step) up to the maximum operating temperature. After each step, wait until the temperature in the expansion vessel has approximately stabilised. This should avoid fluid over-flowing the expansion vessel, due to large vapour bubbles escaping quickly from the system.
-
Once the expansion vessel has cooled back down to ambient temperature, the degassing process is complete.
-
Deactivate the degassing program and stop temperature control.
-
Drain of the expansion vessel and fill in new, clean thermal fluid.
74
Filling an externally open application
Caution!
- Fill to the unit to the minimum level necessary.
- Please refer to local regulations and internal procedures.
When filling the unit, extra precautions such as earthing the expansion vessel, fluid container and application may be necessary.
- Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) should be worn as required by the fluid
MSDS sheets, and local regulation.
- Please note the temperature of the thermal fluid. The fluid should be left a room temperature for a few minutes before draining.
Warning!
Overflowing thermal fluid will create a film on the surfaces, which should be cleaned up and properly disposed of as soon as possible in accordance with the MSDS information.
If thermal fluid is spilled over the unit, the unit should be immediately turned off, and
Huber-trained personnel consulted.
Failure to observe the above precautions may mean that the unit will not comply with all of the requirements of DIN EN 61010-2-010.
Danger!
If, against the advice in this manual, an externally open system is operated without the isolating sleeve (27) fitted into the expansion vessel (18), then this could cause overflow of the thermal fluid. If the thermostat is below the level of the open system, then thermal fluid could flow out of the expansion vessel (18) and sight glass (23). This can cause serious damage to the thermostat. If on the other hand, an open system stands below the thermostat, the thermal fluid will run out of the machine and overflow out of the open system.

-
Open the expansion vessel cap (22) and ensure the isolating sleeve (27) has been fitted. Afterwards, close the cap again. The expansion vessel (18) is now isolated from the open application, and the machine may be put above or below the externally open application. Floor standing models have an additional isolatin valve on the side of the expansion vessel which must be closed.
-
Fill the system with a suitable thermal fluid via the bath. The fluid flows via the return line into the machine and via the outlet line back into the bath. The air in the thermostat can then pass outside.
-
Start and Stop the circulation.
-
Note the volume change of the thermal fluid in connection with the operating temperature. At the lowest temperature required, the level must not go below the min mark signified by the upper edge of the return line + 1cm. At the highest temperature required, the level should not exceed a max mark in the bath. Note both limits. On over-filling and before starting the temperature control, let out some thermal fluid via the drain (8) by opening the drain valve (4) or by scooping out some thermal fluid from the bath, and putting it into some suitable container. With floor standing models let out the thermal fluid via the drain (8) and by opening the drain valve thermal fluid (3). If too little thermal fluid, then air will be drawn into the pump instead of thermal fluid. This dry running of the pump is detected by the electronics and produces a safety shut down. Always therefore ensure there is sufficient thermal fluid.
77
Draining the machine and an externally closed application
General
-
Before draining the unit, the thermal fluid should be at ambient temperature,
(approx. 20 °C). If not, let the machine run with a set point of (approx. 20 °C) for a few minutes until the thermal fluid is at a safe temperature.
-
Connect one end of a suitable drain hose to the drain of the unit (8), and place the other end into a suitable container (make sure the hose and container materials are compatible with the thermal fluid being used).
Table models
- Open the drain valve (4).
-
The thermal fluid flows from the external application into the pump chamber and drain hose to the container.
-
The process is more effective if the circulation is switched off for a short time and back on.
-
Open the connection from the unit’s circulation flow (1). By carefully blowing e.g. compressed air into the outlet hose you may get out further remnants of the thermal fluid out of the machine via the drain.
-
Open the connection from the unit´s circulation return (2).
-
Leave the unit drain for as long as possible (without plugs and open drain valves
(4)).
Floor standing models
- Open all drain valves (3), (4), (5).
-
The thermal fluid flows from the external application into the pump chamber and the drain hose to the container.
-
The process is more effective if the circulation is switched off for a short time and back on.
-
Open the connection from the unit’s circulation flow (1). By carefully blowing e.g. compressed air into the outlet hose you may get out further remnants of the thermal fluid out of the machine via the drain.
-
Open the connection from the unit´s circulation return (2).
-
Leave the unit drain for as long as possible (without plugs and open drain valves
(4)).
78
Changing thermal fluid / internal cleaning
Warning
Note that acetone must not be used as a solvent. Using acetone will cause damage to the fluid seals in the unit. Note that using water-based solvents will lead to moisture being left in the internal components. This water must be removed before operating the unit at higher temperatures, by gradually heating the silicon oil to above 120 °C to dry out the internal components. Remove the short circuit loop and blow compressed air carefully, alternating between the circulation flow (1) and the circulation return (2) of the machine.
- After draining the unit as described in the chapter Draining an externally closed
application, depending on the thermal fluid, it is possible that remnants of the oil remain in the pump chamber and in the internal reservoir.
- Connect a short hose between the circulation return (2) and circulation flow (1) of the unit.
-
Fill the unit with a suitable solvent, (e.g. Mucasol when working with silicone oils as thermal fluid) and circulate it around the unit to clean the internal components such as pump housing, reservoir, etc. Depending on the amount of contamination, it may be necessary to drain the solvent off, and repeat the procedure a number of times with clean solvent.
-
Afterwards, leave the temperature control device stand for some time (open all drain valves and have the connections opened as well as open drain (8)).
-
Note that before working with a new filling of oil (e.g. silicone oil), the Degassing must be activated at temperatures of approx. 110 - 120 °C. Only so it can be ensured that the remnants of water which can lead to boiling in the fluid circuit, can be removed. Therefore please see chapter on Degassing an externally closed
application.

Messages
Messages which occur can be split into Warnings and Alarm messages.
Please note that alarms generally cause the machine to stop temperature control. An alarm message is immediately displayed as text on the graphic display (60).
After the reason for the alarm has been repaired, the machine must be switched off using the main switch (36), and then switched on again in order to reset the alarm.
Warnings do not normally cause the machine to stop temperature control, however they give information concerning critical conditions within the machine or environment. If the conditions leading to the warning message are not improved, then there is a danger that the machine will stop with an alarm, as generally alarm limits are then exceeded.
After the alarm or warning message has been acknowledged, then the graphic display
(60) shows in the left upper corner a symbol (a stop sign for alarm messages, a triangle with an exclamation mark for warnings). By turning the rotary knob / key (61), alternatively by lightly touching the screen (with Unistat Pilot) the symbol can be selected. By pressing the rotary knob / key (61) a further information window opens up, in which the alarm or warning messages are chronologically shown. Turning the rotary knob / key (61) allows specific messages to be chosen.

Display Error Messages
Alarms and Warnings
If an error occurs, the unit will display an alarm or warning message in clear text on the graphic display (60). Each error is allocated an error code.
Errors are separated into three categories:
Hard alarms (error codes -1 to -1023): When a hard alarm occurs, temperature control is immediately stopped. The unit must be turned off, using the main switch (36) and the error condition corrected. The unit can then be turned on again. If an alarm occurs during the unit start up and self-test, please contact Huber for advice.
Soft alarms (error codes -1024 to -2047): These alarms also cause the temperature control to be immediately stopped. After clearing the error condition temperature control can be restarted without cycling power to the unit.
Warnings (error codes -2048 to -4095)
These warnings do not stop temperature control, and give important information about the condition of the unit, its environment, or the application. If steps are not made to correct the cause of the warning, there is the risk that an alarm condition may arise, for example if a condition causes the unit to exceed an alarm limit, or temperature.
Once an alarm or warning is acknowledged a symbol will be shown in the upper left corner of the graphic display. A “Stop” sign indicates the presence of an alarm message, a “warning” triangle (black exclamation mark on a yellow triangle) indicates the presence of a warning message. By lightly touching the symbol on the touchscreen, a list of the stored messages will appear in place of the graphic display. The messages are stored and displayed in time / date order. The key / rotary knob (61) and buttons can be used to step through the messages in order, and display their corresponding text messages.
System Messages
These messages give the user more general information, such as the attempted entry of an invalid input, or set point. These messages do not generate an alarm. Each message should be acknowledged when it occurs, so as not to cover up the normal display screen.

Maintenance
Danger!
Prior to carring out cleaning on the machine switch off the machine via the mains isolator (36) and disconnect it from the mains.
There are few user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Other than the items listed below, maintenance should be carried out by Huber-trained and authorised personnel.
Cleaning cooling fins (for air cooled machines with compressors only)
To ensure that the temperature control unit will give the maximum cooling power the unit has to be freed from dirt (dust) from time to time. Please provide for an unrestricted air supply (discharge from heat loss, fresh air supply). Keep a distance of
20cm to walls for air cooled units. Identify the position of the air outlet, normally it is to be found at the front, with some other units it can also be found on the side, the rear or under the temperature control unit. Remove the air outlet grill to gain access to the cooling fins. With the help of a brush or vacuum cleaner, you can clean the fins of the black condenser at the back of the cabinet. However, never use pointed objects.
Please see that the condenser fins are not damaged or deformed, as this may impair the air current.
Cleaning the water filter (for water cooled refrigeration machines)
Depending on water quality, the filter at the cooling water inlet has to be cleaned regularly. Customers isolation valves to be closed in cooling water outlet and return lines.
Table models: Place a collecting vessel beneath the cooling water inlet (13). Inspect and clean the filter screen after having removed the cooling water inlet connection.
Freestanding models: Remove the housing at the cooling water connections (13,14).
Right behind the cooling water inlet there is the dirt trap. Carefully remove the lid
(hexagonal). The metal cooling water filter and can be removed, rinsed and reinserted.
We are pleased to offer service training for users. Please contact Customer Support
Team for further details.
95
Decontamination / Repair
The user is responsible for making sure that there are no hazardous materials either in or on the unit. The level of decontamination should be appropriate to the amount and type of contaminants on the unit. The user should refer to the appropriate MSDS information for advice.
The decontamination should be done BEFORE outside personnel come into contact with the machine, and BEFORE the unit is sent out for repair or testing. The unit should be clearly labelled that it has been decontaminated before it is sent.
We have prepared a document to simplify this process. This is available in the appendix, and at our website www.huber-online.com.
Cleaning the surfaces
A normal steel cleaning spray is suitable for cleaning the stainless steel surfaces.
Painted areas should be carefully cleaned with a gentle detergent.
Checking the pump seal
As rotating pump seals are never absolutely tight, operation with a thermal fluid that does not easily evaporate will cause drips to build up on the seal. These drips are collected. The draining drip tray (7) must be checked monthly, and emptied if required.
Plug contacts
Each socket has a protective cap belonging to it. If a connector is not required, then it should be covered with this cap.

Decommissioning
Safety notice and policy
Caution!
- Injury to persons or property possible:
- Danger of slippage due to contaminated floor and working area.
- Danger of tipping due to insufficient stability.
- Danger of electric shock due to faulty power connection.
- Danger of burns at extreme temperatures if touched.
- Danger of chemical burns of the eyes, skin or airway due to emission of dangerous vapours (with the appropriate thermal fluid).
- Leakage of fluid remnants to be caught in a collecting vessel. Machine and floor contamination to be removed at once!
All safety notices are essential and must be considered when working according to the operating manual!
Switching off
Set main switch (36) to “O”.
Disconnect the thermostat from the power supply.
Drain out cooling water (only with water cooled machines)
Draining procedure:
Customers isolation valves to be closed in cooling water outlet and return lines. Put a collecting vessel under the cooling water connections of the machine. Remove the closing cap on the cooling water drain. The water will begin to drain from the water connections. It is essential that the water is allowed to fully drain out to prevent danger of freezing during storage or transport!
The drained off cooling water can be tipped down the normal drains. The draining of the machine can be accelerated by blowing a compressed air pistol against the cooling water connections.
98
Transport
The unit is now decommissioned and ready for transportation. The original packing material should be used as far as possible, and the unit must always be transported in the upright position.
Items such as the controller and sight glass should be protected from transport damage.
The unit should not be transported on its rollers, or mounting feet. Supports of rectangular wooden beams appropriate for the weight should be used even when transported on a palette. When shipping the unit on a palette, it should be braced on four sides using wood or other suitable materials. Extra bracing and banding should be made according to the weight of the unit. Extra materials such as plastic wrap / sheeting, cardboard, and banding should be used as necessary.
Disposal
Thermal fluid which has spilled or leaked must be correctly disposed of.
To minimise environmental pollution, please dispose of old temperature control machines only via suitably licensed and experienced disposal or recycling companies.
