Open systems (baths)
Units with a pressure/suction pump can be used for thermostating external open baths.
For thermostating open external systems (baths) hang the hoses into the external bath,
preferably at opposite sides, and protect them against slipping out.
The suction hose should have a notch at its end so that it cannot attach itself by suction
to the wall or the bottom of the bath. Using a screw-on connector (Cat. No. UO 062) is a
better solution.
Before switching on the unit the external bath has to be filled with liquid up to the
required level.
It is advisable to set up the external bath at the same level.
If the difference in level between the open external bath and the thermostat bath is more
than 0.5 m there is the possibility in certain applications that the control range of the
level controller is not sufficient. With a higher (lower) external bath level the suction
(pressure) hose should then be clamped off to such an extent that a constant level in the
bath is obtained at which the float is within its control range.
Note: If the thermostat and the external bath are not at the same level it is essential to
provide the venting of the connecting hoses when the pump is switched off in order to
prevent overflowing.
It is preferable to use the Non-Return Fitting (see accessories) which is mounted at the
highest point of the hose connection (bath or thermostat connection) and which is linked
electrically to the mains output 34 H.
Non-Return Fitting
Cat. No. UD 125
Always protect the tubing with hose clips against slipping off, or use stainless steel
hoses (V2A) with screwed connections.
Note: When tightening the screw caps (19 mm a/f) at the tubing connections, hold the
threaded nipple with a spanner (14 mm a/f)!
