HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
KMW200CCD Version 1.1
USER MANUAL KMW200CCD Chiller v1.1 Page 1
1. Health and Safety Information
1.1 General
In normal operation the system is designed to operate safely. All users of the KMW200CCD water
chiller unit should be aware of potential hazards which exist in and around equipment of this type
and the ways of avoiding possible injury and equipment damage which may result from
inappropriate ways of working. A description of such potential hazards and how to avoid them is
given in this section.
This manual adopts the following convention:
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard which may result in injury or death
CAUTION
Indicates a potential hazard which may result in damage to equipment
Warning symbols on the equipment are:
Protective conductor terminal
Earth (ground) terminal
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock
CAUTION
Refer to accompanying documents
See original manufacturers' manuals for further safety data on third party equipment supplied with
the system. A list of these is given in this manual.
WARNING
Do not take risks. You have a responsibility to ensure the safe
condition and safe operation of equipment.
1.2 Electrical Safety
In normal use the user is protected from the dangers associated with the voltage, current and power
levels used by the equipment. Only suitably qualified personnel should attempt to disconnect,
dismantle or modify the equipment.

HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
KMW200CCD Version 1.1
USER MANUAL KMW200CCD Chiller v1.1 Page 2
1.2.1 Potential Electrical Hazards
The following list is not intended as a complete guide to all the electrical hazards on the system, but
serves to illustrate the range of potential hazards that exist:
•electric shock
•electric burn
•fire of electrical origin
•electric arcing
1.2.2 Recommended Precautions
WARNING
All of the electrical equipment supplied as part of the system should
be provided with a protective ground. Do not remove protective
grounds as this may give rise to an electrical safety hazard. It is
vitally important that the system is properly grounded at all times.
Follow local and national electrical regulations and procedures.
Do not defeat interlocks, remove connectors, disconnect equipment,
open safety covers, dismantle or modify equipment unless you are
qualified and authorised to do so and you are fully conversant with its
operation and potential hazards or have total assurance through your
local electrical permit to work system that the equipment has been
made safe.
Make sure that the mains supply is fused at an appropriate rating and
that it can be isolated locally via a clearly labelled, clearly visible and
easily accessible isolating switch. Isolate the supply before carrying
out any maintenance work.
1.2.3 First Aid
A course in first aid to include methods of artificial respiration is recommended for those whose
work involves equipment which may produce a high voltage.
WARNING
Do not attempt to administer first aid to someone who may have
suffered electric shock until the source of the shock has been
isolated.
Mains voltages are present in the system. These can cause serious
injury or death.
Only personnel qualified and experienced to work with such currents
and voltages should perform service or maintenance work on this
equipment.

HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
KMW200CCD Version 1.1
USER MANUAL KMW200CCD Chiller v1.1 Page 3
1.3 Mechanical Handling Safety
WARNING
Lifting points are provided for safe handling of components and safe
handling practice must be observed to comply with local regulations.
Check that lifting points are used only for the job intended.
The system itself and some components are heavy and require
careful handling. Use safe lifting procedures for heavy items to
prevent possible strain injury.
1.4 Safe Mechanical Practice
In normal use personnel are not required to undertake mechanical work. However, servicing or
repair may necessitate access to any part of the system. Only suitably qualified personnel should
attempt to dismantle, modify or repair equipment.
Water connections should be made and tested in accordance with any local and national safety
regulations.
1.5 Moving Parts
There are a number of moving parts in the system which are powered by electric motors.
Warning
Injury could result if clothing or body parts become caught in moving
mechanisms.
Keep clothing, hands etc. away from moving mechanisms.
1.6 Modifications and Service
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for the safety; reliability or performance of the
equipment unless assembly operations, extensions, re-adjustments, modifications and repairs are
carried out only by persons authorised by the manufacturer. It should be stressed that those parts of
the equipment which are interchangeable, and which are subject to deterioration during operation,
may significantly affect the safety of the equipment.

USER MANUAL KMW200CCD Chiller v1.1 Page 7
4.2 Operating Principles
Inside the KMW200CCD, the compressor is connected to a radiator that is immersed in the water
reservoir. A thermostat connected to the compressor ensures that the temperature of the water in
the reservoir stays in the range 12-14 ºC (or higher depending on the dew point of the operating
environment), as required by the CCD detector.
The control circuitry of the KMW200CCD has a logic unit. The logic unit checks signals from:
1. Temperature and water level sensors inside the water reservoir
2. A flow sensor
3. The water pump
4. The compressor
Refer to Figure 4.2.1 for a schematic diagram of the control circuit.

4.2.1 Water Conditioning Check
The KMW200CCD performs a water conditioning check when it is initially switched on. This check
looks at:
1. The flow rate of the water

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
KMW200CCD Version 1.1
USER MANUAL KMW200CCD Chiller v1.1 Page 8
2. The level of the water in the reservoir
3. The temperature of the water in the water reservoir
The pump stops after 10 seconds if either the rate of water flow, or the water level in the reservoir,
is too low.
The pump stops after 10 minutes if the water temperature in the water reservoir exceeds 18°C.
The state of the unit is displayed on four status lights on the front panel.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Warnings and Cautions
WARNINGS
Dangerous voltages are present on the KMW200CCD’s terminals
when the power is turned on. To prevent personal injury and possible
damage to the equipment:
1. Never connect/disconnect the CCD detector power cable from the
KMW200CCD when the unit is turned on.
2. Turn off the unit at the mains and remove the plug before filling up
the reservoir with water as live parts and rotating parts are
exposed when the cover is removed.
3. Ensure that the earth cable is properly connected to the
KMW200CCD casing.
6.2 Controls and Indicators
The controls and indicators of the KMW200CCD are located on the front panel.
The KMW200CCD is switched on/off using the mains key switch.
There are four indicator lights marked ‘Ready’, ‘Flow’, ‘Level’ and ‘Temp’. The four lights flash when
the chiller is performing its automatic water conditioning check. When the chiller is operating
correctly the green ‘Ready’ light illuminates and the three red lights go out.
A temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the water in the reservoir.
6.3 Switch-on Procedure
1. Check that the water pipes and electrical cables are properly connected.
2. Switch on the KMW200CCD by turning the key switch to the right.
The lights on the front panel will flash as the KMW200CCD performs a water conditioning
check.
3. After a few seconds, check that the green ‘Ready’ light on the front panel is illuminated.
This shows that there is no fault and that the CCD power is on. If the green ‘Ready’ light does
not come on, refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING chapter.
4. The KMW200CCD is now operational.
