5.1
Priming The System
Priming the HC1000 Heater / Circulator is an essential part of setting up the unit to run as
efficiently as possible. Please follow the steps below to prime your HC1000 Heater /
Circulator.
1.
Fill the water bath to a level approximately 2
– 3 inches above the bath outlet fitting.
2.
Turn on the HC1000 Heater / Circulator.
3.
Using the control dial, highlight and select
CONFIGURE.
4.
Once in the Configure Menu, highlight and select
BATH OPTIONS.

PUMP PRIME IS
ON
is now displayed.
6.
Your unit is now priming. Allow up to 5 minutes for the unit to prime. For faster
priming results, tilt the rear of the unit up to allow air inside the unit to flow out
naturally. You should see and hear air being expelled through the outlet tubing.
7.
The
FLOW
light will illuminate green when the unit is primed.
8.
Highlight and select
ESC
to return to the main menu.
If an excessive distance of tubing is needed between the water bath and Heater / Circulator, more
water may be necessary to prime the unit. The water level should stay above the outlet fitting on the bath as
the unit is priming. Add water as needed.
It is suggested that you use deionized water when possible to minimize scale and mineral buildup.
The use of algaecide can help inhibit mold and bacteria growth. Check the label before use to ensure the
formulation is safe to use with the plastic materials used in the water bath.
After priming, the flow sensor will trigger an automatic shutdown of the system if the flow rate
drops below .5 G per minute. Simply switch off and restart the unit. If the problem persists, contact a QLA
Lab Services Professional or authorized QLA engineer.
