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. 

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. 

CAUTION
CAUTION
Never place the unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture,
inadequate ventilation, or corrosive materials are present. 
Refrigerated units should be left in an upright position for 24 hours at

Electrical
Requirements
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. 
The unit is intended for use on a dedicated outlet. All thermostats are
equipped with automatic thermally-triggered 20 Amp circuit protector.
NOTE If the circuit protector activates allow the unit to cool before
resetting. Restart the unit. Contact us if it activates again. 
The circuit protection is designed to protect the controller, and is not
intended as a substitute for branch circuit protection. Position the unit so it is
not difcult to operate the disconnecting device.
If the unit's power cord is used as the disconnecting device, it must be
easily accessible at all times. 
Refer to the bath nameplate on the rear, upper-left-hand corner of the
bath for specic electrical requirements. Voltage deviations of ± 10%
are permissible. The outlet must be rated as suitable for the total power
consumption of the unit, see next page.
NOTE If a bath and thermostat were purchased separately, follow the elec-
trical requirements listed on the bath nameplate. 
DANGER
Ventilation
CAUTION
The unit can operate with 0 clearance on two exhaust sides as long as the
third exhaust side has unrestricted air ow. Blocked ventilation will increase
the unit's temperature, reduce its cooling capacity and, on refrigerated units,
eventually lead to premature compressor failure.

The External Control on the rear of the thermostat requires a 4-pin con-
nector that must mate to a LEMO # ECP.1S.304.CLL. The thermostat uses
a 3 wire sensor, but a 4 wire sensor can be used (pins 3 and 4 are intercon-
nected in the control head). The pin-out is:
Pin 1 and 2 = Pt100 + Pin 3 and 4 = Pt100 -
See Section 4 for instructions to enable the sensor.
The Multifunction port on the rear of the thermostat is used in conjunction
with an optional accessory box to select and activate additional features. See
Section 4 for additional information.
Instructions for installing the USB driver are provided on a disc included with
the accessory kit.

Tubing
Requirements
Ensure none of the tubing comes in contact with the power cord. 
Tubing is normally used to connect the pump to an external application.
NOTE For maximum pressure to the external application cap the pump
nozzle with the supplied tting, it may be necessary to remove the thermostat
from the bath to access the nozzle. 
NOTE The maximum allowable length of tube depends largely on the
size, form and material of the external vessel. The length of tube and its
diameter, combined with the circulating capacity, have a large effect on the
temperature stability. Whenever possible, use a wider tube diameter and place
the application as close as possible to the circulator. 
Extreme operating temperatures will lead to extreme temperatures on
the tube surface, this is even more critical with metal nozzles. 
the required tube material depends on the heat transfer liquid used•
tubes must not be folded or bent•
after prolonged use, tubes may become brittle or they may get very soft, •
check them on a regular basis and replace if necessary
secure all tube connections using clamps•
When using the internal bath only, the plumbing connections can be closed
with the supplied plate and union nuts.

Tubing Tubing for Thermo Scientic temperature control systems is optional. Please
select the proper tubing from the table shown in Section 5.
Ensure the tubing you select will meet your maximum temperature
and pressure requirements. 
Plastic and rubber tubing
If other plastic and rubber tubes are used, ensure that the tubes selected are
fully suitable for the particular application, i.e., that they will not split, crack
or become disengaged from their connections.
Connect the tubing using the supplied tube ttings for 8 or 12 mm i.d. They
are attached to the plumbing connections with a supplied coupling nut.
We highly recommend using foam rubber insulation on the tubing and the
ttings.
Metal tubing
Thermo Scientic metal tubing (stainless steel insulated) offers a particularly
high degree of safety and is suitable for both low and high temperatures/
liquids.
The metal tubing is attached directly to the plumbing connections, gaskets are
not required.
Do not subject tubing to mechanical strain and ensure any specied
bend radius is not exceeded. 
Tubing is available in lengths of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 meters. Couplings for
connecting tubes are also available.
The smallest opening inside the metal tubes is 10 mm. The metal tubing is
provided with coupling nuts (M16 x 1, DIN 12 879, part 2) at either end.

Fluids
The user is always responsible for the uid used. Never use corrosive
uids with this unit. 
Never use 100% glycol. 
Handling and disposal of liquids other than water should be done
in accordance with the uid manufacturers specication and/or the
MSDS for the uid used. 
Always adjust the unit's software to the uid used, see Section 4. 
When using water above 80°C closely monitor the uid level, frequent
top-offs will be required. It will also create steam. 
Water/glycol mixtures require top-offs with pure water, otherwise the
percentage of glycol will increase resulting in high viscosity and poor
performance. 
The uid information is only a guide since specications may change.
Thermo Fisher Scientic takes no responsibility for damages caused by the
selection of an unsuitable bath uid.
Unsuitable bath uids are uids which:
are very highly viscous (much higher than 30 mPas at the respective •
working temperature)
have corrosive characteristics or•
tend to break down at high temperatures•
For uid selection consider application requirements, operating temperature
range, material compatibility, safety concerns, and environmental issues.
5°C to 95°C — Distilled Water or Deionized Water (up to 3 MΩ-cm)
Normal tap water leads to calcareous deposits necessitating frequent unit
decalcication, see table on next page.
Calcium tends to deposit itself on the heating element. The heating capacity
is reduced and service life shortened.
-30°C to 80°C — Water with Glycol
Below 5°C water has to be mixed with a glycol. The amount of glycol added
should cover a temperature range 5°C lower than the operating temperature
of the particular application. This will prevent the water/glycol from gelling
(freezing) near the evaporating coil.
Excess glycol deteriorates the temperature accuracy due to its high viscosity.
