6 Air circulation
Put the unit in its proper place. Leave enough room around
the cryostat for sufficient air circulation. Place the unit in a
clean working environment and keep away from dust. When
air can not circulate well, the cryostat will overheat itself
resulting in irreversible and severe mechanical damage. Dust
will block the condenser and might also cause overheating of
the system. Overheating will cause severe damage to the
compressor.
6.1 Regular maintenance
Please check the apparatus to see if airflow is not blocked
around apparatus and both apparatus and condenser are free
from dust.

7 OPERATION
7.1 Switching on
If the bath has been properly filled with fluid,it can be switched
with the mains switch located on the front panel. Choose a
working temperature (set point) with and keys. For an
optimal performance the bath is best tuned at the set point
temperature.
7.2 Caution with powering on/off
Be careful and do not toggle with the on/off switch. To start
the cooling compressor high currents are needed which will
heat the compressor motor internally. Switching off and on the
compressor several times within a short period will lead to
mechanical damage.
When switching off the apparatus, wait for 10 minutes
before switching the system back on again.

7.4 Start
The bath must be filled with a liquid suitable for the minimum operating temperature.
It is very important to select a liquid with a viscosity of
less than 20 cSt at the operating temperature and a flash
point which is well above the operating temperature.
The best bath liquid to be used is methanol, enabling
circulation at very low temperatures.
Methanol is extremely flammable and can cause fire hazard.
Please take all necessary precautions to reduce fire hazard.
When using methanol all vapors must be removed by using
appropriate air ventilation.
Methanol is toxic and can cause health risks. Use appropriate
ventilation and other precautions to prevent inhaling toxic
vapors. If ventilation is insufficient the risk of explosion
hazards can occur!
The supplier of the bath liquid (methanol) will be able to hand
over all chemical details and safety precautions related to the
use of methanol. These precautions must be followed when
operating the bath.

7.6 Quick start
To quickly start operating the bath:
•Fill the bath with sufficient fluid to submerse the
cooling coil. However do not overfill the bath fully as
the fluid will exit through the overflow outlet,
•Place the power plug,
•Switch the bath on using the mains switch,
•Choose a working temperature (set point):
Press once. Display will indicate "SP.1". Alter set point
temperature by using up and down key to select the
desired bath temperature.
Press to display bath temperature again (or wait 10 seconds).

7.1 Fluid level
Do not operate the bath with low fluid level.
When the fluid level is too low, bath fluid will vaporize leading
to toxic and flamable fumes.
Flamable fumes can lead to fire
Flammable fumes can be ignited by the not submersed part
of the heating element.
The level indicator will start to blink (blue light) when the
fluid level is too low.
When the bath has been installed it must be filled with an
appropriate liquid. Depending on the operating temperature
the liquid level in the bath should be observed.
The liquid level should be maintained between 1 and 3 cm
below the lid during normal operation.
The heating element will be damaged when not fully
submerged in the bath fluid. A lower level than 5 cm below the
lid may damage the heaters. A high bath level can cause
overflow and will might also damage the bath insulation.
Low fluid level:
- Can cause fire when heater gets partially submersed
- Will damage the heater
