INTRODUCTION
Receiving Your Liquid Cooling System
Inspect your LCS (liquid cooling system) immediately upon receiving it. If the unit shows shipping
damage, contact the transportation company and file a freight damage claim. Retain all cartons and
packing material until the unit is operated and found to be in good condition. Your LCS has been
fully tested at the Lytron factory with clean water. Although the system has been drained, some
residual fluid may remain. This will not hinder the performance of the chiller.
About The Warranty
Refer to the end of manual for the LCS standard warranty. All units returned for warranty claims must
have an RMA (Return Material Authorization) number on the outside of the container. Call Lytron
Customer Service at [phone] for an RMA number. Units should be drained of all fluids and
packaged in its original packaging.
Customer Service Support
Lytron is committed to servicing the customer, both during and after the sale. If you have any
questions concerning the operation of your unit, contact our Application Engineering Department at
[phone]. To facilitate your call, please have the model number and serial number of the
unit (located on the rear of the LCS) for the Lytron Applications Engineer. For a detailed description
of Lytron’s LCS service policy, refer to the back of this manual.
Service Hotline
Lytron has a 24-hour per day, 7 day per week service hotline to help you with questions on the
startup and operation of your LCS. (We recommend you review the troubleshooting guide
before calling our service hotline.) Lytron service can be reached by dialing [phone]. To
facilitate your call please have the model number and serial number (located on rear of the LCS) of
the unit for the Lytron Service Technician. For a detailed description of Lytron’s LCS service policy,
refer to the back of this manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This system is designed to provide fluid cooling only as specified in this manual. If you use this system in a
manner other than as specified, the safety protection of the system may be impaired.
Warnings are posted throughout the manual. Read and follow these important instructions. Failure to
observe these instructions or use the LCS other than as specified may impair safety protection, void the
warranty, and can result in permanent damage to the unit, significant property damage, personal injury
and/or death.
Make sure you read, understand, and follow all instructions and safety precautions listed in this manual
before operating your unit. If you have any questions concerning the operation of your unit or the
information in this manual, please contact our Applications Engineering Department at [phone].
xDO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTI-FREEZE IN THE LCS. The rust inhibitors in the automotive
type may cause premature failure of the pump seals. Use of automotive anti-freeze in a
Lytron LCS will void the warranty.
xNever place the unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, or corrosive materials are
present.
xThe unit must be plugged into a properly grounded power source.
xDo not connect the SUPPLY or RETURN fitting to your building water supply or any
pressurized source.
xDO NOT USE OR MAINTAIN THE LCS OUTDOORS. These units were not designed to
withstand outdoor weather conditions.
xPerformance of installation, operation or maintenance procedures other than those described
in this manual may result in a hazardous situation and may void the Lytron warranty.
xTransport the unit with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage the unit.
xDrain the unit of all water when transporting, shipping, or leaving unused for long periods of
time. This will prevent freezing and algae build up while idle.
xObserve all warning labels. Never remove warning labels.
xDo not operate damaged or leaking equipment.
xDo not operate the unit without fluid in the reservoir.
xAlways turn the unit "OFF" and disconnect the power cord from the power source before
performing any service, maintenance procedures or before moving the unit.
xDo not operate equipment with damaged power cords.
xA qualified technician should perform Service and repairs.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Coolant Requirements
xLytron recommends using filtered clean water above 10oC/50oF as coolant.
xIf the set point is 10oC/50oF or below, a freezing point depressant, such as ethylene glycol, is
required. This unit is equipped with a low flow switch. This feature will shut the chiller down during a
low flow situation to prevent freezing.
xDO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTI-FREEZE IN THE LCS. The rust inhibitors in
the automotive type may cause premature failure of the pump seals. Use of automotive anti-
freeze in a Lytron LCS will void the warranty.
xAvoid using water with a high mineral content.
xIf the coolant is exposed to sunlight add an algaecide to control organic growth in lines.
Environmental Requirements
Non-operating
xAmbient Temperature: –20º to 50ºC with a maximum positive/negative rate of change of 20ºC/hour.
xHumidity: Between 5% and 100%, non-condensing, with the maximum allowable positive/negative
rate of change of 30% per hour.
xAltitude: 30 m below sea level to 5000 m above sea level.
Operating
xAmbient Temperature: 10º- 35ºC, with a maximum positive/negative rate of change of 10ºC/hour.
xHumidity: Between 30% and 75%, non-condensing, with the maximum allowable positive/negative
rate of change of 5% per hour.
xAltitude: 30 m below sea level to 2500 m above sea level
Electrical Requirements
Refer to the Specification section and to the product ID label on the rear of the LCS for the specific
electrical requirements of your unit. The LCS power module is configured with a standard
international IEC320/C20 inlet. To safely operate the LCS, use an SJT cord set with an IEC 320/C19
receptacle and an inlet plug that is compatible to the local power grid and the power requirements of
the LCS. All Kodiak chillers should use SJT 3 conductor 12 AWG minimum power cord.
