Installation
1. Place the Lambda 465, Peltier Controller and Peltier Control Single Cell in a location that is
compatible with the required environmental conditions for the operation.
2. Open the lid of the coolant inlet on top of the Peltier Controller.
Figure 9 Lid of coolant inlet
3. Fill up the liquid coolant using the funnel.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Make sure the instrument is turned off while installing this accessory.
Assurez-vous que l’instrument est é
teint lors de l’installation de cet
accessoire.

NOTE
:
Keep the amount of liquid coolant to the level where the indicator is located between the ‘L’ (low) and ‘H’
(high) mark in the scale on the left side of the Peltier Controller. When the coolant is running short for the
operation, the LED of Low Water Level changes to red with an alarm sounding.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
The liquid coolant must be used as refrigerant.
Do not use any water (tab
water, DI, etc).
In case that the water is used as refrigerant, Peltier Controller’s
components might be corroded and its performance may be deteriorated.
Use any kind of liquid coolant in normal grade as is available (e.g. liquid coolant
including Distilled Water 70 wt%, Propylene Glycol 27 wt%, Additives 3 wt%).
Le liquide de refroidissement doit être utilisé comme réfrigérant.
N'utilisez
jamais d'eau (eau du robinet, eau déminéralisée, etc.)
L'eau risque en
effet de corroder les composants du contrôleur Peltier et de réduire les
performances de ce dernier.
Utilisez un liquide de refroidissement du commerce de qualité normale (par
exemple, un liquide de refroidissement à base d'eau distillée à 70 % M/V, de
propylène glycol à 27 % M/V et d'additifs à 3 % M/V).
4. Connect the power cord and the communication cable of the Lambda 465.
NOTE:
Make sure that the instrument is turned off when the accessory is installed.
5. Take apart the existing cell holder in the sample compartment.

6. Place the base plate at the bottom of the sample compartment and tighten the bolt with a
wrench. Next fix and tighten the Peltier Control Single Cell with the Phillips round screw.

8. Connect the coolant inlet/outlet and N2gas tube between the Peltier Controller and the Peltier
Control Single Cell.
NOTE:
N2 gas is not always required, so the gas and inlet hose are not supplied.
Figure 13 Connecting the coolant inlet/outlet and N2gas tube
9. Connect the temperature probe to the interface slot of the Peltier Control Single Cell.
Figure 14 Connecting the temperature probe
10. Connect the Peltier Controller with the PC via the RS-232 or USB to RS-232 cable. See Installing
the USB to RS-232 driver on page 15 when you use the USB to RS-232 cable.

12. Turn on the power of the Lambda 465 and the Peltier Controller.
Figure 17 Back of the instrument connections
CAUTION
ATTENTION
The Air vent manual button should be off before turning on the main power of the
Peltier Controller and also during the operation since it could make a trouble for the
communication between Lambda 465 and Peltier Controller.
Le bouton d'actionnement manuel de la ventilation doit être désactivé avant que le
contrôleur Peltier ne soit mis sous tension et pendant le fonctionnement de ce
dernier afin d'éviter qu'une erreur de communication entre le Lambda 465 et le
contrôleur Peltier ne se produise.
13. Check that the power LED shows a blue color.
