Installation
Filling Requirements
Ensure the reservoir drain port is closed and that all plumbing connections are securely plumbed
or capped. Also ensure any residue is thoroughly removed from the reservoir before filling.
To avoid spilling, place your samples/trays into the bath before filling. Also make allowance for
splashing of water from tray oscillation movement.
Slowly
fill the reservoir. When adding, point the opening of a container away from yourself.
For Shaking Water Baths, fill the reservoir with a minimum of one inch of water and the maximum
level lower than the tray shaft fitting.
For General Purpose Baths, fill the reservoir with a minimum of one inch of water and a maximum
level one inch lower than the tank upper surface.
Note
Monitor the fluid level whenever heating the fluid.
To conserve energy, reduce evaporation, and increase temperature control accuracy, use the
supplied gable cover. Do not use aluminum foil as a cover, as it may cause corrosion due to an
electrochemical reaction.
Filling with Thermal Lab Beads
(GPD baths only)
Before filling the reservoir with beads ensure the reservoir plug is securely installed into the drain.
Note
Using beads derates the bath's stability and uniformity capability.
