Proper Use
6 01.24.2013
1. Proper Use
PRESTO®is a highly dynamic temperature control system designed for
controlling the temperature of certain liquids in a closed, external
system. The temperature-controlled external system is attached to the
protruding pump connections on the rear of the PRESTO®.
JULABO temperature control systems are not suitable for direct
temperature control of food or other items intended for human
consumption, pharmaceutical products, or medical products.
Direct temperature control means: The temperature-controlled object
has unprotected contact with the bath fluid.
1.1. Description
•In addition to the refrigeration unit, the main functional elements are
the heater, circulation pump, and control electronics. When used
with an external Pt100 control sensor, the auto-optimizing electronic
PID controller will automatically adjust to the requirements of the
external vessel.
•The pump’s powerful output can be reduced for use with pressure-
sensitive vessels by altering the motor speed in four stages or by
controlling via pressure.
•The refrigeration systems are cooled
- A80, A80t with air from the ambient surroundings
- W80, W80t with water.
•The unit is operated via the TFT user interface.
•Remote control through the digital RS232, USB, and ethernet
interfaces according to NAMUR enable advanced process control
without an additional interface card.
•The high temperature cut-off is a safety device that is independent
from the control circuit. The cut-off temperature is adjustable and is
displayed on the TFT user interface.
•The integrated programmer lets you store and retrieve setpoints
and times for eight different temperature profiles.
•Interfaces available on the right side of the housing:
- SD card for datalogging
- USB host interface.
•Analog interfaces:
- Alarm output for an external signal
- Ext. Pt100 connection for an external control
- Connection for JULABO pressure or flow sensor
•An analog module is optionally available, it consists of:
A STAND-BY input for remote shutoff with an external switch.
REG+E-PROG connection for specifying the setpoint with an
external analog setpoint device or programmer. Three analog
outputs for datalogging are also integrated.

2. Operator Responsibilities - General Safety Notices
Products from JULABO are safe when installed, operated, and
maintained according to generally accepted rules of safety. This chapter
explains the potential hazards that can arise in conjunction with
operation of the temperature control system and describes safety
measures for eliminating these hazards when possible.
2.1. Personnel
•The owner/operator is responsible for the qualifications of the
operating personnel.
•Make sure that anyone who will operate the temperature control
system has been instructed regarding the relevant tasks.
•The operators must be trained on a regular basis on the hazards
that may occur during their activities and on measures for mitigating
these hazards.
•Make sure that anyone entrusted with operation, maintenance, and
installation has read and understood the safety information and the
operating manual.
•When using hazardous materials or materials that may become
hazardous, allow only persons with complete knowledge of the
materials and the circulator to bring the unit into operation. These
persons must have the ability to evaluate potential dangers in their
entirety.
2.2. Handling guidelines
•Avoid impacts to the housing, vibrations, damage to the keypad
(keys, display), or heavy soiling.
•Regularly check, at least once every two years, to ensure proper
condition of the safety, warning, and prohibition symbols.
•Ensure that the mains power network exhibits low impedance in
order to avoid influencing units that are operated on the same
network.
•Magnetic radiation may affect other devices that contain
components that are sensitive to magnetic fields, such as a monitor.
We advise maintaining a min. distance of 1 m from such devices.
•The ambient temperature may not exceed 40 °C [104 °F], nor fall
below 5 °C [41 °F].
•Rel. humidity should not exceed 50% at 40 °C, [104 °F].
•Do not store or use the unit in aggressive (corrosive) atmospheres.
Protect the unit from contamination.
•Do not place the device in direct sunlight.

2.3. Operation
The unit may only be configured, installed, maintained, and repaired by
qualified personnel.
Persons who operate the circulator must be trained in the particular
tasks by qualified personnel. Please call us if you have any questions
about operating the unit or the operating manual.

The bath may be filled with flammable liquids. Fire hazard!
Some bath fluids may represent a chemical hazard.
Observe all warning notices on the materials used (bath fluids) and in
their associated instructions (safety data sheets).
Potentially explosive mixtures may be formed if adequate ventilation is
not provided. Use the units only in well ventilated areas. The units are
not suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Proper use includes limitations on the types of materials (bath fluids)
used. Do not use toxic, acidic, or corrosive bath fluids.
If using hazardous materials or materials that may become hazardous,
the operator must apply the enclosed safety labels to the front side of
the unit where they are easily visible:
Warns against a dangerous condition. Important! Please observe the
documentation. (operating instructions, safety data sheet).
You must read the operating manual before switching on the unit.
Valid in: EU
You must read the operating manual before switching on the unit.
Valid in: USA, NAFTA

Special diligence and care are essential due to the wide operating
temperature range.
There are heat- and cold-related hazards: burns, scalding, superheated
steam, frostbite.
Hot and cold parts and surfaces that could cause burns or frostbite
when touched.
Warns against hot or cold surfaces.
Disconnect the unit from the power supply prior to opening.
Dangerous electrical voltage. Discharging of internal capacitors.
Observe the notices in the instructions for third-party units that you
attach to the JULABO unit, especially any safety notices.
The pin assignment of the plugs and the technical data of the products
must be observed of all times.
2.4. Disposal
This product contains oils used as bath fluids that must be disposed and
consist partially or entirely of petroleum or synthetic oil. Observe
regulations for disposal provided in the safety data sheets.
These units contains refrigerants– at this time considered not to have
any negative effects on the ozone layer. However, during the long
operating period of the unit, disposal prescriptions may change. For this
reason, disposal should be performed by qualified personnel only.
Observe all disposal regulations applicable in your country or region.
This symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that it may not be
disposed with household waste. Proper disposal avoids negative
impacts on people and the environment and enables reuse of valuable
raw materials.
Information about collection centers for old units is available from your
