HL 11. 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 (e.g. cellular phones). 2 1 3 4 ext.

Remote control 12. Remote control 12.1. Setup for remote control 5 9 1 6 SERIAL 1. Check the interface parameters for both interfaces (on the circulator and PC) and make sure they match. In the >Interface< menu, set the menu item >Type< to >RS232< or >RS485<. 2. In the >Configuration< menu, set the menu item >Setpoint< to >RS232< or >RS485<. 3. Connect both units with an interface cable.
HL Important times for a command transmission: To ensure secure 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 an LF (Line Feed). The next command should be sent only after 10 ms. The out commands are valid only in remote control mode. Examples: When the RS485 interface is used, the three-digit instrument address precedes each command.

HL 14. 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. This software is available as a free download from www.julabo.de \ EasyBlackBox. Installation is easy and is performed step by step. Please observe the instructions.
Cleaning / repairing the unit 15. Cleaning / repairing the unit Caution: Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power source before cleaning the unit. Prevent humidity from entering into the circulator. Electrical connections and any other work must be performed by qualified personnel only. To maintain the full cooling performance, clean the condenser from time to time. Switch off the unit, disconnect mains power cable. Hold the venting grid, pull out and remove.
