Adjusting the Mounting
Clamp
The Professional Sous Vide Circulator features an adjustable clamp that allows the unit to be mounted on water
baths and tanks with side walls varying from 1mm to 63mm wide. Before adjusting the clamp, ensure the equipment
is disconnected from the mains power supply and the element is cold. The adjustment is performed in 2 steps as
illustrated below. Step 1 – Turn the unit upside down and gently rest it on the lid on a non-scratch surface. Using a
phillips head screwdriver, loosen the 2 clamp screws as illustrated below with half a turn anti-clockwise. The clamp
bracket can now slide in and out to the required depth as required. Once the depth has been set, re-tighten the 2
clamp screws by gently tightening in a clockwise direction. Step 2 – Once the unit is placed on the bath, gently
tighten the thumb-screw by turning in a clockwise direction until the unit is secured to the bath.
Step 1 – Use a phillips head screwdriver to adjust the clamp depth
Step 2 – Use the thumb-screw to tighten against the bath
Adjusting the Pump Flow Rate
The Professional Sous Vide Circulator pump features an adjustable flow rate to suit a variety of different tank sizes.
Decreasing the flow rate will generally reduce temperature uniformity within the bath and should be considered prior
to adjustment. For most applications the pump should be left at maximum flow rate to ensure good temperature
uniformity within the bath and maximize control stability.
Before adjusting the flow rate, ensure the equipment is disconnected from the mains power supply and the element
is cold. The adjustment is performed by simply rotating the pump adjustment throttle on the under-side of the pump
head as below. The throttle may be set to any position from fully open to fully closed to achieve the desired flow rate.
