FILLING PROCEDURE
The Mini chiller has a different fill procedure to ATC’s other products. Please read the entire passage before
starting and familiarize yourself with the process.
a) Connect the chiller to the electrical supply and switch on at the rear rocker switch.
i) The controller should begin to load and leave you on the splash screen with ATC logo as pictured
below. Your serial number and software version may differ.
b) Check all application valves are open, including solenoid valves and variable position valves.
i) The chiller will require an open water circuit to pump into.
ii) Any obstructions can increase the time, or entirely prevent the bleeding of air from the system.
c) Remove the cap from the tank lid on the top of the chiller.
i) Fill the tank to leave 10-20mm (0.4-
0.8”) of air between water line and where the lid seals.

a pump icon.

Caution; Do not run the pump dry. Do not deadhead the pump.
e) Repeat steps c) i) and d) until the level no longer drops when the pump is run.
