Operating manual
1. Intended use
highly dynamic temperature control systems have been designed for
external temperature application to liquids. They offer rapid heating and
cooling, wide working temperature ranges without changing fluids as well
as highest performance with a small footprint.
JULABO circulators 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
•Besides the cooling unit, the main functional elements are the heater, circulation pump and control
electronics. Via an external Pt100 control sensor, a self-optimizing, electronic proportional
temperature control (PID characteristic) adapts the heat supplied to the thermal requirements of
the external system.
•The high pump capacity can be reduced by regulating the motor speed in five grades. It may thus
be adapted to sensitive vessels.
•LH40: The cooling unit may be cooled with air.
LH41: The cooling unit may be cooled with water.
•Setting is rapid and simple using the splash-proof keypads. The operating elements consist of the
local operating board with a bright VFD-Info-Display, as well as the removable control module RD
connected with a cable.
The microprocessor technology allows four temperature values to be stored and indicated on the
DIALOG-DISPLAY (LCD) of the control module RD: working temperature, high and low
temperature warning limits as well as pump pressure stage.
•The digital RS232 / RS485 port permits modern process engineering without additional interface.
•The excess temperature protection (safety temperature), a safety feature functioning independent
of the regulator circuit, is adjusted and indicated via the VFD-Info-Display.
•The integrated programmer allows programming of setpoint and time values for six temperature
profiles.
•The following analog sockets are available:
- The REG+E-PROG socket for setpoint selection via an external, analog programmer.
At the same time, this socket provides three analog outputs for temperature recorders.
- The external Pt100 socket for external control.
- The alarm output for an external signal.
- The stand-by input for external emergency switch-off.

2. Operator responsibility –Safety instructions
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.
The personnel operating the units should be regularly instructed about the dangers involved with
their job activities as well as measures to avert these dangers.
Make sure all persons tasked with operating, installing, and maintaining the unit have read and
understand the safety information and operating instructions.
When using hazardous materials or materials that could become hazardous, the circulator may be
operated only by persons who are absolutely familiar with these materials and the unit. These
persons must be fully aware of possible risks.
If you have any questions concerning the operation of your unit or the information in this manual,
please contact us!

Safety instructions for the operator:
Avoid strikes to the housing, vibrations, damage to the operating-element panel (keypad, display),
and contamination.
Make sure the product is checked for proper condition regularly (depending on the conditions of
use). Regularly check (at least every 2 years) the proper condition of the mandatory, warning,
prohibition and safety labels.
Make sure that the mains power supply has low impedance to avoid any negative effects on the
instruments being operated on the same mains.
This unit is designed for operation in a controlled electromagnetic environment. This means that
transmitting devices (e.g., cellular phones) should not be used in the immediate vicinity.
Magnetic radiation may affect other devices with components sensitive to magnetic fields (e.g.,
monitors). We recommend maintaining a minimum distance of 1 m.
Permissible ambient temperature: max. 40 °C, min. 5 °C.
Permissible relative humidity: 50% (40 °C).
Do not store the unit in an aggressive atmosphere. Protect the unit from contamination.
Do not expose the unit to sunlight.
Appropriate operation
Only qualified personnel is authorized to configure, install, maintain, or repair the unit.
Persons who operate the circulator must be trained in the particular tasks by qualified personnel. The

7
summarized user guidance (short manual) and the specification table with information on individual
parameters are sufficient for this.
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). Do not use poisonous, vitriolic or corrosive bath fluids.
When using hazardous materials or materials that could become hazardous, the operator must affix
the enclosed safety labels to the front of the unit so they are highly visible:
If this unit is intended for use within the United States of America, all 3 warning labels must be affixed
to the housing of the unit prior to use. Directions for the positioning of the individual warning labels are
enclosed with the warning labels included in the delivery.Warning labels must be easily visible to
users.

Observe the instructions in the manuals for instruments of a different make that you connect to the
circulator, particularly the corresponding safety instructions. Also observe the pin assignment of plugs
and technical specifications of the products.

2.1. Disposal
The product may be used with oil as bath fluid. These oils fully or partially consist of mineral oil or
synthetic oil. For disposal, follow the instructions in the material safety data sheets.
This unit contains the refrigerant R404A, which at this time is not considered harmful to the ozone
layer. However, over the long operating period of the unit, disposal rules may change. Therefore, only
qualified personnel should handle the disposal.
