1 Safety
1.1 Safety notices
The operating manual informs you how to handle the device as intended
while taking safety aspects and hazards into consideration. The operating
manual of the constant temperature equipment on which you operate the
device and, if applicable, the safety data sheets of the accessories used also
apply. In case of doubt, the applicable rules and regulations at the place of
installation have precedence.
IMPORTANT
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
nRead this operating manual carefully before use.
nIn addition, refer to the operating manual of the constant temperature
equipment on which you operate the unit.
nFollow all the safety instructions on the device and in the operating
manual.
nAlways keep the operating manual within easy reach near the device.
nThis operating manual is part of the device. Never pass the device on to
third parties without the operating manual.
nEnsure that the device is only operated by trained operating personnel
or qualified personnel.
nThe user must have read and understood this operating manual and be
able to follow all the information and instructions given.
nUse appropriate personal protective equipment when carrying out any
work on the device or connected components.
nInstall the device on an even, non-slip surface. The installation surface
must not be combustible or sensitive to moisture.
nKeep flammable materials and liquids away from the immediate vicinity
of the device. Do not store them above the device.
nOnly set up the device indoors and protect it from condensation and
dripping.
nAlways check the device, the LiBus cable and the hoses for damage and
leaks before operation. Any defects found must be remedied in line with
good professional practice before operation.
nNever operate the device without heat transfer liquid.

nOnly use suitable hoses.
The temperature, pressure and media resistance of the hoses must be
suitable for the respective application.
nConnect the hoses in such a way that no kinks can occur during opera-
tion. When routing the hoses, make sure that the radii are as large as
possible and secure the hoses with hose clips.
nCheck the hoses regularly for damage and material fatigue.
nDo not make any technical changes to the device. If this is disregarded,
you will lose the right to claim under warranty.
nAll service and repair work must be performed by qualified personnel
only.
nObserve the recommended maintenance intervals.
1.2 Intended use
The flow controller is an accessory item and is used to control the flow of
heat transfer liquid in XT or IN P constant temperature equipment. The heat
transfer liquid used for this purpose must be electrically conductive and must
be used within its working temperature range.
Silicone oils and mineral oils are not suitable for the flow controller.
The device is designed for non-flammable heat transfer liquids equivalent to
class I, in accordance with DIN 12876-1.
Permitted heat transfer liquids:
nLAUDA Kryo 30 heat transfer liquid
nMonoethylene glycol/water mixture
Table 1
Material data Value
Electrical conductivity Water: ³20 μS/cm
Standard: ³1 μS/cm
Permissible gas content (volume) £5 %
The device may only be operated as intended and under the conditions
specified in this manual. Any other type of operation is considered improper
and may impair the protection supported by the device. LAUDA accepts no
liability for damage resulting from improper use of the device.
Hoses
Maintenance
V2Flow controller MID 806 / 38

nOperation on a non-compatible device
nOutdoor operation
nOperation in a potentially explosive area
nOperation after incomplete assembly
nOperation with defective or non-standard cables, hoses or other con-
nections
nOperation with insuciently conductive heat transfer liquids
nOperation with a combustible, flammable, highly flammable or explosive
heat transfer liquid
nOperation for heating or cooling of foodstus
nOperation under medical conditions in accordance with DIN EN
60601-1 or IEC 601-1
The device is designed for 20,000 operating hours.
The instructions in the manual of the respective constant temperature
equipment must also be followed to ensure that the device is used as
intended. If in doubt, these instructions take precedence.
1.3 Environmental limits
The device may only be used in the following areas:
nProduction, quality assurance, research and development in an industrial
environment
nOnly used inside buildings
nUp to a height of 2,000 m above sea level
nWithin a ambient temperature range from 5°C to 40°C
nMaximum relative humidity 80% at an ambient temperature of 31°C,
relative humidity linearly decreasing to 50% at 40°C.
1.4 Requirements for the heat transfer liquid
nHeat transfer liquids are used to control the temperature. LAUDA
heat transfer liquids are recommended for the flow controller. LAUDA
heat transfer liquids have been tested by the company LAUDA DR. R.
WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG and approved for the flow controller.
nHeat transfer liquids are suitable for a specific temperature range. This
temperature range must correspond with the temperature range of your
application.
nThe safety data sheet of the heat transfer liquid specifies hazards and
the corresponding safety measures required for handling the liquid. The
safety data sheet of the heat transfer liquid must therefore be observed
to ensure proper use of the device.
nIf you wish to use your own heat transfer liquid, check to ensure that the
fluid is suitable for the materials used ÄChapter 1.5 “Materials used”
on page 8 and that the fluid has sucient electrical conductivity
ÄChapter 1.2 “Intended use” on page 6.
nThe heat transfer liquid must be provided with corrosion protection.

1.5 Materials used
All parts in contact with the heat transfer liquid in the flow controller are
made of copper (piping), high-quality stainless steel (connections) and red
brass. The flow meter is covered with PTFE.
The device frame and the cover consist of painted sheet steel.
1.6 Personnel qualification
Operating personnel
Operating personnel are personnel who have been instructed on how to use
the device as intended in line with the information in the operating manual.
Specialized personnel
Certain activities on the device must be performed by specialized personnel.
Specialized personnel are personnel whose education, knowledge, and expe-
rience qualify them to assess the function and risks associated with the
device and its use.
1.7 Personal protective equipment
Protective gloves
Protective gloves must be worn for certain tasks. The protective gloves must
comply with the standard DIN EN 374. The protective gloves must be
