1 General
This operating manual explains how to install and operate the Command
Touch operating unit (order no. LRT 923).
The Command Touch operating unit ensures user-friendly operation of your
LAUDA constant temperature equipment. All operating functions can be
accessed easily by tapping, dragging or swiping the high-resolution multi-
touch screen with your finger.
The touch display is connected to the constant temperature equipment via a
LiBus cable. Remote operation is also possible: for example, you can connect
the operating unit directly to the control station PC (maximum permitted
cable length: 50 m). The magnets integrated into the back of the casing
prevent the operating unit from slipping when placed on a ferromagnetic
surface, thus facilitating use of the touch display.
This operating manual presents the basic operating concept of the
Command Touch operating unit and provides examples of some
of the most popular operating functions. Detailed information on
how to handle your constant temperature equipment and a descrip-
tion of the functions specific to your device can be found in the
operating manual for your constant temperature equipment. This
includes, in particular, process technology and safety- and liability-
related information.
1.1 Intended use
The Command Touch operating unit is an accessory which extends the oper-
ating possibilities of the LAUDA constant temperature equipment. After
connection, the constant temperature equipment can be operated by tap-
ping the elements on the display. This is usually done by tapping or swiping
the display with one or more fingers.
The operating unit may only be operated with constant temperature equip-
ment that supports the functions provided. A list of compatible product lines
can be found in the “Compatibility” section in this operating manual.
The operating unit should only be operated as intended and under the condi-
tions specified in this operating manual. The instructions in the connected
constant temperature equipment’s operating manual apply to every inter-
action. This is particularly true of the safety instructions contained in the
manual.
Use with incompatible constant temperature equipment
Use with defective or non-standard cables or connections
Operating the display using sharp or sharp-edged objects
Reasonably foreseeable improper use
V1 Command Touch operating unit 5 / 51

1.2 Compatibility
The operating unit is available as an accessory for the following LAUDA
product lines:
Integral IN
PRO (with “Base” operating unit)
LiBus interface
The constant temperature equipment must have a free LiBus inter-
face for connecting the operating unit.
An interface module can be provided for this purpose if necessary.
If you have any questions about technical adaptations, please con-
tact the LAUDA service; see ÄChapter 1.6 “Contact LAUDA”
on page 7.
1.3 Technical changes
All technical modifications are prohibited without the written consent of the

5 Before starting up
5.1 Setting up the operating unit
The operating unit is designed to be connected directly to the constant tem-
perature equipment. It can also be used remotely, for example, connected
directly to the control station PC. You can extend the LiBus connecting
cable to a maximum length of 50 m; see ÄChapter 12 “Accessories”
on page 48.
The magnets integrated into the back of the casing prevent the
operating unit from slipping when placed on a ferromagnetic sur-
face, thus facilitating use of the touch display.
You can attach the operating unit directly to the constant temperature
equipment; the attachment point designed for this purpose is indicated on
the constant temperature equipment’s casing. Observe the instructions in
the operating manual of your LAUDA constant temperature equipment. The
adhesive force of the magnets on the back of the device ensure interlocking
of the operating unit during connection, and attach it in place.
5.2 Connecting the operating unit
The operating unit’s power is supplied and communication with the constant
temperature equipment is transmitted via the LiBus connecting cable.
During connection, adhere to the following order:
1. Switch the constant temperature equipment o.
2. Connect the operating unit’s cable to the constant temperature equi-
pment’s LiBus socket.
The operating unit is ready for use.

6.3 Basic settings
1. Open the Home window.
2. Tap the Settings Basic settings tile.
The constant temperature equipment settings are listed here,
among other things, in the basic settings menu of the
Command Touch operating unit. These are explained in more
detail below.
Fig. 12: Basic settings
V1Command Touch operating unit18 / 51

6.3.1 Limiting the current consumption
If your mains fuse is less than 16 A, the current consumption of the constant
temperature equipment can be reduced incrementally from 16 A to 8 A.
The maximum heating power is reduced accordingly. Establish whether other
consuming units or only your device is connected to the fused circuit.
1. Open the Home window.
2. Touch the Settings Basic settings Current consumption tile.
An input window for entering values manually appears.
3. Change the current consumption accordingly.
4. Press [OK] to confirm the new value.
The value is accepted.
6.3.2 Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a safe temperature state to which the constant temperature
equipment can be switched as soon as any malfunctions or errors occur.
Temperatures considered to be safe depend on the type of application
connected and should be entered on the LAUDA constant temperature
equipment before using the device for the first time. In the event of an error,
switching to Safe Mode can be carried out manually or automatically.
When Safe Mode is active, the constant temperature equipment continues
to run but the values preset here for the Tset set temperature and control
variables are automatically set. In the Safe Mode submenu, you specify
how the constant temperature equipment should react to certain events
(actions):
Which events lead to the activation of Safe Mode?
Being activated manually via the constant temperature equipment.
Command via interface.
Being triggered by certain alarms.
Communication with the control station being interrupted.
What indicates that Safe Mode is activated?
The Safe Mode tile displays a yellow symbol.
What happens in active Safe Mode if no alarm is pending?
The Safe Mode tile displays a yellow symbol.
Safe Mode is ended by tapping the tile. The tile displays a gray symbol.
What happens in active Safe Mode if no alarm is pending?
The Touch Display shows the alarm window. The Safe Mode tile displays
a yellow symbol.
Safe Mode can only be ended by tapping the tile when the alarm on the
constant temperature equipment has been unlocked.

present
V1 Command Touch operating unit 19 / 51

After you tap the [Safe Mode] tile, a security prompt will be displayed. As
soon as you confirm this, the device will be set to a safe state.
The settings for the safe state are configured in this menu.
1. Open the Home window.
2. Tap the Settings Basic settings Safe Mode tile.
The Safe Mode parameters submenu opens.
3. Define suitable values for the safe operation of your process. To do so,
carry out the settings listed below:
Switch the [Safe Mode function] o or on:
Slide switch set to [No]: Safe Mode is not available, the Safe Mode
tile is disabled. Safe Mode cannot be activated manually or by
alarms or interfaces.
Slide switch set to [Yes]: Safe Mode is in standby mode. The
Safe Mode tile is active.
Keep or change the [set point]:
Slide switch set to [Unchanged]: The Tset temperature set point
defined before Safe Mode was activated is kept and the constant
temperature equipment continues operating with this value.
Slide switch set to [Change]: When Safe Mode is activated, the
constant temperature equipment sets the new Tset temperature set
point which is stored here with the next option.
Enter [set point]; this value defines the Tset temperature set point for
Safe Mode.
Keep or change the [control variable]:
Slide switch set to [Unchanged]: The control variable used prior to
activating Safe Mode is kept.
Slide switch set to [Internal]: When Safe Mode is activated, the
constant temperature equipment sets the Internal control variable.
Specify [Timout]; this value defines the duration in seconds within which
a contact must be made via the connection to the control station
(timeout 1 to 60 seconds, 0 = monitoring disabled).
If the interval is exceeded, the monitoring system triggers an alarm and
the constant temperature equipment switches to Safe Mode.
