Foreword 

The temperature control unit is a packaged unit that 
typically includes a fluid pump, electric immersion 
heater, and temperature control valve in a cabinet. 
The purpose is to provide circulation and 
temperature control of a cooling fluid. 
 
This manual is to serve as a guide for installing, 
operating, and maintaining the equipment. Improper 
installation, operation, and maintenance can lead to 
poor performance and/or equipment damage. Use 
qualified installers and service technicians for all 
installation and maintenance of this equipment. 
 
This manual is for our standard product. The 
information in this manual is general in nature. Unit-
specific drawings and supplemental documents are 
included with the equipment as needed. Additional 
copies of documents are available upon request. 
 
Due to the ever-changing nature of applicable 
codes, ordinances, and other local laws pertaining to 
the use and operation of this equipment, we do not 
reference them in this manual.
