Preface
Compliance Products tested and found compliant with the requirements dened in the
EC Directives as well as Low Voltage Directive (LVD) can be identied by
the CE Mark on the rear of the unit. The Declaration of Conformity can
be found in the appendix of this manual.
The conformity assessment were performed following dened procedures
according to each applicable directive.
The council decision 93/465/EEC shall be authoritative concerning the
modules of the various phases of the conformity assessment procedures
and the rules for the afxing and use of the CE Mark), which are intended
to be used in the technical harmonization directives.
To conrm compliance with the EC-Directive 2004/108/EC
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) our products were tested according
to the EMC requirements for emission and immunity for electrical
equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use.
Some electrical equipment displaying the CE Mark, e.g., monitors or
analytical instruments, can be affected if their manufacture accepts
interference, e.g., ickering of a monitor, as a minimum operating quality
with electromagnetic compatibility. We recommend a minimum distance of
approximately one meter from this type of equipment.
For any additional information, refer to the Declaration of Conformity.

Thermo Fisher Scientic. Reference le #E164214 for these products.
WEEE This product is required to comply with the European Union’s Waste
Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC. It is
marked with this symbol.
Thermo Fisher Scientic has contracted with one or more recycling/
disposal companies in each EU Member State, dispose of or recycle this
product through them. Further information on Thermo Fisher Scientic’s

Feedback We appreciate any feedback you can give us on this manual. Please e-mail
us at thermoscienticmanuals@thermosher.com. Be sure to include the
manual part number and the revision date listed on the front cover.
Warranty Thermo Scientic Laboratory Temperature Control Products have a
warranty against defective parts and workmanship for 36 months from date
of shipment. See back page of this manual for more details.
Unpacking Retain all cartons and packing material until the unit is operated and found
to be in good condition. If the unit shows external or internal damage
contact the transportation company and le a damage claim. Under ICC
regulations, this is your responsibility.
Refrigerated units should be left in an upright position for 24 hours
before starting. This will ensure the lubrication oil has drained back
into the compressor. 

Thermo Scientific 1-1
Make sure you read and understand all instructions and safety precautions
listed in this manual before installing or operating your unit. If you have
any questions concerning the operation of your unit or the information in
this manual, please contact us. See inside cover for contact information.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
The lightning ash with arrow symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of non-insulated "dangerous
voltage" within the unit's enclosure. The voltage magnitude is signicant
enough to constitute a risk of electrical shock.
This label indicates the presence of hot surfaces.
This label indicates read the manual.
The unit construction provides protection against the risk of
electrical shock by grounding appropriate metal parts. The
protection will not function unless the power cord is connected to a
properly grounded outlet. It is the user's responsibility to assure a
proper ground connection is provided. 
Never place the unit in a location or atmosphere where excessive
heat, moisture, or corrosive materials are present. 
Never use corrosive uids with this unit. Use of these uids will void
the manufacturer’s warranty. 
Observe all warning labels. 
Never remove warning labels. 
Refrigerated units should be left in an upright position for 24 hours
at room temperature before starting. This will ensure the lubrication
oil has drained back into the compressor. 
Safety Warnings
Section 1 Safety

1-2
Section 1 Safety
Thermo Scientific
Other than water, before using any uid, or when performing maintenance where
contact with the uid is likely, refer to the manufacturer’s MSDS and EC Safety
Data sheet for handling precautions. 
Ensure the tubing you select will meet your maximum temperature and pressure
requirements. 
Never operate damaged or leaking equipment. 
Never operate the unit without uid in the reservoir. 
Never operate the unit or add uid to the reservoir with panels removed. 
Never operate the unit with the immersion circulator removed from the bath. 
Do not mount the immersion circulator backwards on the bath; the line cord could
contact the reservoir uid. Ensure the electrical cords do not come in contact with
any of the plumbing connections or tubing. 
Operate the unit using only the supplied line cords, never operate equipment with
damaged cords. 
Ensure all communication and electrical connections are made prior to starting
the unit. 
If the unit's power cord is used as the disconnecting device, it must be easily
accessible at all times. 
Always turn the unit off and disconnect the supply voltage from its power
source before moving the unit or before performing any service or maintenance
procedures. 
Ensure, that no toxic gases can be generated by the uid. Inammable gases can
build up over the uid during usage. 
Transport the unit with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage the unit's
components. 
Ensure the uid is at a safe temperature (20°C to 55°C) before handling or
draining. 
Drain the unit before it is transported and/or stored in near or below freezing
temperatures, see Draining in Section 3. 
Do not clean the unit with solvents, a soft cloth and water is normally sufcient. 
Refer service and repairs to a qualied technician. 
Performance of installation, operation, or maintenance procedures other than
those described in this manual may result in a hazardous situation and will void
the manufacturer's warranty. 
