1.
Attach a hose the “Process Out” port of the chiller and place the
end of it in a container with at least a 3 liter capacity.
2.
Turn the unit on (making sure to hold the drain hose in place)
and run it until air starts to shoot out of the hose.
3.
Attach the drain hose to the “Process In” port of the chiller
4.
Remove the tank cap and allow the liquid in the chiller’s lines to
drain out.
5.
Replace and tighten the tank cap, then remove the drain hose.
6.
Dispose of the coolant in a manner consistent with local
regulations.

ROUBLESHOOTING
________________________________
The ThermoCube 200/300/400 has multiple system alarms that
when triggered will show on the display. When an alarm is
displayed the system will not attempt to heat or cool the coolant.
Alarms:
Tank Level Low: Liquid reservoir level is too low.
Unless filling for
the first time, check all outside plumbing lines for leaks. Once all
leaks are sealed, remove the cap and add more coolant until the
alarm disappears.
RTD Open: The temperature sensor has failed or its connector has
come loose.
Turn off the chiller and disconnect the AC power cord.
Contact SSCS for a replacement RTD, or for a RMA number to
return the unit for RTD replacement.
Fan Fail: Fan is supplying insufficient air to cool the thermoelectric
heat exchanger.
Either the fan has failed or the airflow into or out
of the system is blocked. Check that the side air inlet and outlet
gratings are not blocked. The ThermoCube requires at least 3
inches of clearance around these gratings. If airflow is not blocked,
contact SSCS for a replacement fan, or for a RMA number to return
the unit for fan replacement.
Pump Fail: The liquid heat exchanger plate temperature is either too
hot or too cold, indicating pump failure, a blockage in the external
plumbing lines or operation outside the normal 5°C to 50°C coolant
temperature (without –LT or –HT options).
Turn off the
ThermoCube and disconnect the AC power cord. Verify that no
kinks or blockages exist in plumbing line, both outside and inside
the ThermoCube. If no coolant flow blockages exist, contact SSCS
for a replacement pump, or for a RMA number to return the unit for
pump replacement.
WARNING
Read the Coolant MSDS
prior to draining the
chiller
Electrical Shock Hazard:
Always unplug the unit
before removing the cover.
WARNING
Do not attempt to service or
repair the unit beyond the
troubleshooting checks
described in this section
without first contacting
