Manual. Before using the UniFlex, the user must review both this Product Note and the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This section, and warnings noted by warning icons can lead to serious injury or death,
equipment damage, or unexpected system performance if not followed. The user must read
these sections and understand them completely before use. Any questions or concerns must be
directed to BruControl technical support before use.
The UniFlex 120VAC power (NEMA 5-15P plug) MUST be plugged into a 15A GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupt) protected receptacle. The UniFlex 240VAC power (NEMA 14-30P, 6-30P,
10-30P, or L6-30P plugs) MUST be plugged into a 30A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt)
protected receptacle. Consult a certified licensed electrician familiar with National Electric Code
and local building code standards to ensure the receptacle being used is appropriately
equipped and suited for this application.
Operating the UniFlex in any manner other than described in these documents or explicit
guidance from BruControl Technical Support can result in property damage, injury,
electrocution, or death.
The operation of the UniFlex MUST fall within the specifications listed below. For example,
exceeding the specified current limits may cause damage to the unit or associated equipment.
Do not use the UniFlex for any application other than its intended use for brewing or
distillation. Always ensure the powered devices are properly set-up and prepared to receive
power. For example, heating elements must be submerged in liquid. Failing to do so could
result in damage of user’s equipment, parts, materials, and/or processes, including but not
limited to, damage, discoloration, corrosion, down time, equipment stoppages, process system
failure, and/or damage to adjacent and/or area of use or storage locations.
The UniFlex must be located safely away from sources of heat or liquid. It must be
mounted horizontally with the rubber feet down or vertically with the power cords hanging
down. It must be located in an area of adequate ventilation and the bottom vent ports must
remain free of obstruction. For passive cooling option models which contain an external
heatsink, the heatsink must not make contact with any other objects and must not have any
restrictions of its convective airflow.
Always handle power plugs and receptacles, temperature probe plugs, and Input/Output
connectors gently. Do not disconnect any connection by pulling on the cable or cord. Always
gently grasp the handle of the plug and pull straight in line with the plug direction.
