The temperature control unit is manufactured for industrial use. The temperature control unit main-
tains the temperature of certain applications, including glass or metal reactors or other expedient
items in laboratories and industry. Flow-through coolers and calibration baths must be used only in
combination with Huber temperature control units. Thermal fluids suitable for the overall system
are used. The chilling and heating capacity is provisioned at the pump connections or - where pre-
sent - in the tempering bath. The technical specification of the temperature control unit is given in
the data sheet (from page 99 in section »Annex«). The temperature control unit must be installed,
configured and operated according to the handling instructions in this operation manual. Failure to

a) Usually water; other fluids only if non-combustible even within the temperature range of an individual fault.
b) The temperature control media must have a fire point of ≥ 65 °C.
c) The overheat protection can, for instance, can be realized using a suitable fill level sensor or a suitable temper-
ature limiter.
d) Optional at the choice of the manufacturer.
Combined electronic low level and overtemperature protection
This temperature control unit has been equipped with an electronic overtemperature protection
and low-level protection. Instead of a mechanical float switch, temperature sensors are employed
on the surface of the heating coils. These sensors monitor overtemperature at this potential ignition
source, thus ensuring the controller regulates the heating coil temperatures below the critical tem-
perature (fire point of the thermal fluid). An appropriate message is output via the >Touchscreen<
[88].
There is no longer a need for mechanical tools to set the trigger values of the overtemperature
protection. It is replaced by a software engineering tool. The threshold value for the overtempera-
ture protection can be set only if a code, randomly generated by “Pilot ONE”, is entered correctly. As
with the mechanical tool, accidental settings are thus prevented.
Low level protection
Low level protection is achieved via a pressure sensor in the fluid circuit. The pump ensures, togeth-
er with the thermal fluid, the requisite pressure at the pressure sensor. Air in the system (fill level
too low, inadequately vented) prevents the pressure from reaching value specified at the pressure
sensor. Temperature control and circulation are interrupted.
Process safety
This type of overtemperature protection is driven by a desire for further protection of operator and
system. Protective devices typically disconnect all poles when reaching the overtemperature protec-
tion trigger value. This may result in more heat being fed into the process (e.g. exothermic reaction)
than the existing cooling machine is able to cool as the overtemperature protection trigger value is
usually set above the controller setpoint. Turning off the temperature control unit eliminates the
possibility to extract heat from the process. The temperature could therefore rise further and sys-

tem components could be heated up above their rated temperatures, e.g. could cause danger to life
and limb by rupture of the material or phase transitions from liquid to gaseous state. Reaching the
trigger value is recognized in the Process Safety mode by the controller at the overtemperature
protection, which then releases cooling. This mode requires the compressor to be set to Permanent-
ly ON ([System Settings] > [Power/ECO Settings] > [Compressor ON/OFF/AUTO] > [Permanently
ON]). Even if the temperature continues to rise, the cooling machine will use its maximum cooling
capacity to keep any further increase in temperature as low as possible. You must observe page 52
of section »Setting the overtemperature protection«.
1.4.3 Further protective devices
Emergency strategy – isolate the power supply!
To determine the type of switch or switch combination your temperature control unit is equipped
with, please refer to the connection sketch starting on page 99 in the section »Annex«.
Temperature control units with >Mains isolator< [36] (red/yellow or gray): Turn the >Mains
isolator< [36] to the “0” position!
Temperature control units with >Mains isolator [36] (red/yellow) and additional >Appliance
switch< [37] (gray): Turn the >Mains isolator< [36] to the “0” position! Then turn the >Appliance
switch< [37] to the “0” position!
Temperature control units with >Mains isolator< [36] (gray) and >Emergency stop switch< [70]
(red/yellow): Press the >Emergency stop switch< [70]. Then turn the >Mains isolator< [36] to the
“0” position!
Temperature control units with >Mains switch< [37]:Power supply via socket: Disconnect the
temperature control unit from the power supply. Then turn the >Mains isolator< [37] to the “0”
position! Power supply via hard wiring: Disconnect the power supply by means of the building’s
circuit breaker. Then turn the >Mains isolator< [37] to the “0” position!
Temperature control units without a switch or inside a protective housing: Connection via sock-
et: Disconnect the temperature control unit from the power supply. Connection via hard wiring:
Disconnect the power supply by means of the building’s circuit breaker.
1.4.3.1 Power interruption
Following a power outage (or when switching on the temperature control unit), this function can be
used to determine how the temperature control unit is supposed to respond. This response can be
determined via “Pilot ONE”.
OFF/Standby (Default setting)
After turning the temperature control unit on, thermoregulation is started only after manual input.
ON / Temperature control active
After turning on the temperature control unit, thermoregulation is always started. An INFO appears
for a few seconds. This makes it possible to suppress the automatic start.
Power Failure Auto
If temperature control is active during a power outage, the process will automatically continue after
the power outage.
1.4.3.2 Alarm functions
An alarm is a system state that signals unfavorable process conditions. The temperature control unit
can be programmed so that the plant operator is warned when defined limit values are exceeded.
The response of the temperature control unit to an alarm can be determined. Possible responses
are: Switch off temperature control or control temperature to a safe setpoint (2nd setpoint).
1.4.3.3 Warning messages
Warning messages contain a message about the irregularity of the temperature control unit. These
messages have no further consequences. The plant operator evaluates the relevance of the message
and takes action where necessary.

Room air/cooling water
Consequences of, for instance, contamination of the liquefier fins, inadequate clearance between
temperature control unit to wall/bath wall, room air/cooling water too warm, cooling water differ-
ential pressure too low, suction strainer contamination: The admitted energy can no longer be fully
discharged to the room air/cooling water
Thermal fluid circuit
Consequence of inadequate energy dissipation from the thermal fluid: The thermal fluid can only
dissipate the energy from your application to a limited extent.
