Caution
1. Please read the Instruction Manual before installation and use.
2. Some Cole-Parmer Fluidised Baths can heat up to 700°C. High temperatures are dangerous and can
cause serious burns to operators and ignite combustible material.
3. Use care and wear protective gloves to protect hands and protective glasses to protect eyes.
4. Do not put hot objects on or near combustible objects.
5. Do not operate the unit close to inflammable liquids or gases.
6. Do not place any liquid directly in the unit.
7. Always ensure a suitable, adequate ventilation system is used when equipment is in use.
8. Always install fireproof metal ducting with sufficient airflow where applicable.
Maintenance
1. When performing maintenance, always disconnect from power supply and cool below 50°C.
2. Antylia Scientific Ltd recommend regular cleaning of fluidised baths. Externally, wipe with a damp
soapy cloth. No abrasive cleaners should be used. Care should be taken to prevent any water entering
the unit.
3. Regular internal and external inspection of extraction ducting is recommended to detect any damage
and ensure the internals are clean. Any build-up of particles or debris discovered in the extraction
ducting requires the ducting to be cleaned or replaced.
4. In fluidised baths used for polymer burn-off, please regularly inspect fluidising medium, remove any
foreign debris and replace with clean fluidising medium as required.
5. Never top-up a hot fluidised bath with cold fluidising medium. Always cool below 50°C first.
Please note:
1. Please ensure an adequate risk assessment is performed before use of a fluidised bath.
2. Please ensure the appropriate temperature is used for the application, always stay safely below the
combustion temperature of any material or sample in a fluidised bath.
3. Fluidising airflow must be switched on before heating a fluidised bath and left operational until the
bath cools to below 50°C.
4. Do not overfill fluidising media. When fluidized, the aluminium oxide level should be approximately
100mm (4”) from the top surface of the bath at your maximum operating temperature.
5. In fluidised baths used for polymer burn-off, always remove excess polymer from sample.
6. In applications where materials being treated produce acidic vapours during thermal decomposition, it
is recommended a fume scrubber is utilised to ensure fume emission from the plant conforms to local
regulations.
7. If you have any questions, please contact [e-mail].

IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY INFORMATION
Introduction
The FSB-200-TC Temperature Controller is designed as an alternative to the energy control provided in
the laboratory fluidised baths. It is supplied with a Chromal Alumel Thermocouple which fits into the
sheath built into the fluidised bath.
Symbols Defined

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FSB-200-TC consists of a temperature controller mounted in a case with solid state relay switching
and is capable of handling up to 20 amps. Connections to the fluidised bath and to the thermocouple
are conveniently made with sockets on the back of the instrument. In use, the FSB-200-TC bypasses
completely the energy regulator on the fluidised bath and cycles all the heating elements on and off
at the same time. The unit is mounted on four rubber feet and provided with a three wire cord and
thermocouple.
The FSB-200-TC provides the following features not provided by the energy regulator:
1. Precise temperature setting.
2. Improved temperature stability
Control is achieved by monitoring the signal from the thermocouple sensor. By this means the
controller will react directly to temperature stability.
3. Stable temperature under varying loads.
With the energy regulator, the dial setting must be manually adjusted to correct for changes in heat
requirements due to a variation in bath loading or ambient temperature. The FSB-200-TC will
automatically adjust the heater output to take account of these varying conditions.

rating plate (located on the back of the unit). Please note that the unit must be earthed to
ensure proper electrical safety.
Connections 220V-240V
Live Brown
Neutral Blue
Earth Green/yellow
Note: FSB-200-TC is classified as “Permanently Connected Equipment” and should be connected to the
electricity supply by a qualified electrician.
The equipment is supplied with 2.5m of flexible, triple core, circular cable to the following specification:
4.0mm², to BS 6500 or equivalent and <HAR> or BASEC approved. Connection to the mains electrical
supply should be via a double pole 30mA Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection (RCBO)
isolating circuit breaker switch with a continuous current carrying capacity of 30A at 250V and overcurrent
of 30A.
Do not switch on until the unit is fully installed.

OPERATION
1. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to enter a setpoint temperature. The bath will begin to heat
immediately. The top display is the measured thermocouple temperature and bottom is the set point.
2. To change the display from °C to °F and vice versa, press the 2nd button from the left until the lower
display shows "UNITS". Next press the UP arrow to reach preferred setting. Press 1st button on the
left to exit after changes are made.
3. Two setpoint programming can be used by entering values at menu option "SP1" and "SP2". See
step 2 to access options and exit out. Menu option "SP.SEL" tells the controller which to use.
4. A single point calibration offset can be applied by accessing option "PV.OFS". See step 2 to access
options and exit out.
Set a correction value in the opposite direction of your external reading i.e. - reference shows the
bath to be 3.0 degrees high, then set "PV.OFS" to "-3.0".
