INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTION

 

 

1.

 

Install 

ElectraCOOL™

 

LA600

 Chiller on a relatively leveled surface, capable of 

supporting the 26 Lbs. (11.7Kg) weight of the Unit. Allow for 12” clearance around 
the air inlet and outlet areas to insure proper air circulation and ventilation. 

 

 

If obstacles are blocking airflow, the Unit may overheat. This reduces 
performance, and may lead to early module failure. 
 

2.

 

Fill Reservoir 2/3 full with fluid. 

3.

 

Plug the chiller into a grounded electrical outlet. 

4.

 

Connect the chiller to the System, which you intend to cool/control. 

5.

 

Turn the Unit Power Switch ON. Purge air from the System as described in 

     

Section 6

 of this manual and add fluid if necessary. 

6.

 

Set Digital Controller to the Temperature desired, as instructed in 

Section 7

7.

 

Run the Unit, check for possible leaks. 

8.

 

Unit is ready for continuous operation. 

 

Note 1: 

When operating the unit with outlet fluid temperature above  

                     35°F/2°C, 100% pure distilled water is recommended. 
Note 2: 

If operating the unit with outlet fluid temperature below 

                     35°F/2°C, a solution of 75% distilled water and 25% glycol,  
                     alcohol or other appropriate brand of antifreeze is recommended. 
 

6.

 

PURGING THE FLUID SYSTEM 

 

1.

 

Connect system tubing to the Chiller quick-connect input and output valves. 

2.

 

Fill reservoir 2/3 full with appropriate coolant solution. 

3.

 

Plug unit to electrical outlet with appropriate voltage. 

4.

 

Turn power switch ON for 2-3 seconds and then turn OFF. Repeat two to four times. 

5.

 

Check fluid level in the reservoir and add more fluid if necessary to 2/3 level. 

6.

 

Turn power switch ON and run the Chiller. 

7.

 

If possible, raise the system above the chiller reservoir level for a few seconds to 
enable air to gather at the highest point. Then lower system below chiller fluid inlet 
and outlet connections for a few seconds to allow air to travel to chiller reservoir.
