1. Intended use
JULABO recirculating coolers have been designed for temperature application to specific fluids. The
pump connections can be used for cooling applications in an external circuit at a constant temperature.
JULABO water baths are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi-
luxury 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
PID1
RS232
The recirculating coolers are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The
implemented microprocessor technology allows to set and to store the setpoint that
can be indicated on the LED temperature display.
The PID temperature regulation is used to withdraw heat from the bath fluid by
means of the cooling machine and to automatically regulate the required need.
Electrical connections:
1. The serial interface RS232 allows modern process technology without
additional interface.
2. Alarm output for external alarm message.
Manually adjustable by-pass (handwheel) to reduce the pump capacity
(e. g. for glass equipment).

to the intended location.
For better stability, apply the holding breaks on the front casters
(10a).
Cooling machine, pump motor and electronics produce intrinsic
heat that is dissipated via the venting openings.! Never cover
these openings!
Do not set up the unit in the immediate vicinity of heat sources and
do not expose to sun light.
Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear venting
grids.
The place of installation should be large enough and provide
sufficient air ventilation to ensure the room does not warm up
excessively because of the heat the instrument rejects to the
environment.
For a fault (leakage) in the refrigeration system, the standard EN
378 prescribes a certain room space to be available for each kg of
refrigerant.
> For 0.52 kg of refrigerant R-404A, 1 m3of space is required.
