  Perform the following steps without attaching a short circuit hose, if the application used by you (exter-

nally closed) is also dirty. In this case, leave your externally closed application connected to the tempera-

ture control unit. This rinses the temperature control unit and your application at the same time.  

  

 

Fill

 the system (minimum fill level) with the thermal fluid you wish to use.

Adjust the 

setpoint

 and the cut-out value of the 

overtemperature protection

 to the thermal 

fluid used.

Start

 the 

circulation

. The length of rinsing depends on the level of soiling. 

 

Stop

 the 

circulation

 

Drain

. 

 

Repeat the steps “Filling”, “Venting”, “Start/Stop circulation” and “Draining” until the drained 

thermal fluid remains clear. 

 

Remove the bypass hose after completely draining the temperature control unit. 

  

  Leave an application connected, if you have simultaneously rinsed a used application (externally closed). 

  

 

Leave the temperature control unit open for a longer while to allow the thermal fluid remaining 

in the temperature control unit to evaporate. 

 

Reinsert the hose into the 

>Level indicator and drain<

 [38]. 

 

Remove the collecting container. Follow the instructions for the proper disposal.

»Proper disposal of resources and consumables«

 

Re-connect your application. (Only if you have rinsed the thermal fluid circuit using a bypass 

hose.) 

 

Fill the system.

»Filling and venting with >Level indicator and drain< [38]«

 

Vent the system.

Cleaning the surfaces 

 

 

Extremely hot / cold surfaces, connections and thermal fluids 
BURNS/FREEZING OF LIMBS 

 

Surfaces, connections and tempered thermal fluids can be extremely hot or cold depending on 

the operating mode. 

 

Avoid direct contact with surfaces, connections and thermal fluids! 

 

Wear your personnel protective equipment (e.g. temperature-resistant safety gloves, safety 

goggles). 

  

 

 

Exposed plug contacts 
DAMAGE CAUSED BY FLUID INGRESS 

 

Protect unused plug contacts with the protective caps supplied. 

 

Clean surfaces only with a damp cloth. 

  

A standard stainless steel cleaning agent is suitable for cleaning the stainless steel surfaces. Carefully 

clean painted surfaces (damp only) using a solution of sensitive-fabrics detergent. Observe the 

proper disposal of thermal fluid and aids.

Inspect the mechanical seal 

 

 

No visual inspection of the mechanical seal 
MATERIAL DAMAGE IN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT CAUSED BY LEAKING MECHANICAL SEAL 

 

Check the mechanical seal once a month. 

 

If case of leakage, stop the temperature control unit and contact Customer Support.
