SL Operating manual 1. Intended use JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath tank. 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 ICC TCF ATC3 The circulators are operated via the splash-proof keypad.
Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations 2. Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations 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.
SL Use: The bath can be filled with flammable materials. Fire hazard! There might be chemical dangers depending on the bath medium used. Observe all warnings for the used materials (bath fluids) and the respective instructions (safety data sheets). Insufficient ventilation may result in the formation of explosive mixtures. Only use the unit in well ventilated areas. Only use recommended materials (bath fluids). Only use non-acid and non corroding materials.
Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations 2.2. EC Conformity The products described in the operating instructions conform to the requirements of the following European guidelines: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery. EMC guideline with respect to legal harmonization of the member countries concerning electromagnetic compatibility. JULABO GmbH Eisenbahnstr. 45 77960 Seelbach / Germany 2.3.

SL Operating instructions 3. 3.1. Safety notes for the user Explanation of safety notes In addition to the safety warnings listed, warnings are posted throughout the operating manual. These warnings are designated by an exclamation mark inside an equilateral triangle. “Warning of a dangerous situation (Attention! Please follow the documentation).” The danger is classified using a signal word. Read and follow these important instructions for averting dangers.
Safety notes for the user 3.3. Safety recommendations Follow the safety instructions to avoid personal injury and property damage. Also, the valid safety instructions for workplaces must be followed. Only connect the unit to a power socket with an earthing contact (PE – protective earth)! The power supply plug serves as a safe disconnecting device from the line and must always be easily accessible.
SL Caution: The temperature controlling i.e. of fluids in a reactor constitutes normal circulator practice. We do not know which substances are contained within these vessels. Many substances are: inflammable, easily ignited or explosive hazardous to health environmentally unsafe i.e.: dangerous The user alone is responsible for the handling of these substances!

SL 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.

SL 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. Cleaning: For cleaning the bath tank and the immersed parts of the circulator, use low surface tension water (e.g., soap suds).
