Installation and Startup
Your Circulating Bath with MX Temperature Controller is designed to be simple to set-up and install. The
only tools required are a flat-head screwdriver and a container for adding water or another suitable fluid to
the bath reservoir.
General Site Requirements
Locate your Circulator on a level surface free from drafts and direct sunlight. Do not place it where there
are corrosive fumes, excessive moisture, high room temperatures, or in excessively dusty areas.
Refrigerating / Heating Circulators must be 10.2 cm / 4 inches or more away from walls or vertical
surfaces so that airflow is not restricted.
Avoid voltage drops by using properly grounded power outlets wired with 14 gauge or larger diameter
wire and if possible, be close to the power distribution panel. The use of extension cords is not
recommended; this will reduce the potential for problems caused by low line voltage.
Adding Liquid to the Bath Reservoir
WARNING:
Read the safety data sheet for the bath fluid being used carefully before filling reservoir.
WARNING:
See
Technical Information
in the rear of this manual for a list of compatible liquids.
WARNING:
If the proper fluid level is not maintained, the heater coil may become exposed and
possibly damaged (fluid level too low) or the bath may overflow (fluid level too high).
The liquid in the reservoir should be maintained at a depth between 1 inch / 2.54 cm and 2.6 inches / 6.7
cm below the underside of the bath’s top deck. Upon start up, it may be necessary to add fluid to the bath
to compensate for the fluid required for external circulation. Likewise, be sure to compensate for fluid
displacement when placing samples or other materials in the Circulator’s reservoir.
WARNING:
Always drain all fluid from the reservoir before moving or lifting your Circulator. Be sure
to follow your organization’s procedures and practices regarding the safe lifting and relocation of
heavy objects.
WARNING:
To avoid the potential for burns, allow the Circulator to cool completely before cleaning
or performing any maintenance.
Maximum Liquid Level:
1 in. / 2.54 cm
below the underside of the top deck
Minimum Liquid Level:
2.6 in. / 6.7 cm below the
underside of the top deck
