Electrical
Requirements
The unit construction provides protection against the risk of electrical
shock by grounding appropriate metal parts. The protection may not
function unless the power cord is connected to a properly grounded
outlet. It is the user's responsibility to assure a proper ground connec-
tion is provided.

The user is responsible to ensure that the power cord provided meets local
electrical codes. If not, contact qualified installation personnel.

The unit is intended for use on a dedicated outlet. The EX has an internal
circuit protection that is equivalent (approx.) to the branch circuit rating. This
is to protect the EX, and is not intended as a substitute for branch circuit
protection.

Power Cord Set

230 Volt, 50 Hertz units do not come with a power cord set, To select the
proper power cord, follow these guidelines:
„The cord set must consist of a plug, cable and receptacle.
„If the unit is rated greater than 12 Amps, use a cord set rated for 20A.
„If the unit is rated less than 12 Amps, use a cord set rated for 15A.
„The cord set must be approved by local electrical authority or other
acceptable agency.
„Ensure the plug is compatible with your local outlets and receptacles.

Refer to the serial number label on the rear of the unit to identify the specific
electrical requirements of your unit.Ensure the voltage of the power source
meets the specified voltage, ±10%.

Plumbing Requirements
Ensure the unit is off before connecting tubing to the unit.

To prevent damage to the plumbing lines, always support the

fittings while installing/removing the pumping caps and lines.

Hose Connections
The pump connections are located at the rear of the pump box and are labelled
(pump outlet) and (pump inlet). These connections are bent upward

Installation and Operation

so the recirculating fluid will drain back into the reservoir when the hoses are
disconnected. Both connections are capped with stainless steel serrated plugs.

The pump lines have ¼" MPT for mating with standard plumbing fittings. For
your convenience stainless steel adapters, ¼" FPT to 3/8" O.D. serrated fitting,
are provided. (To assure proper fit, they should be installed using 1½ turns of
Teflon® tape around the threads.)

Make sure all tubing connections are securely clamped. Avoid running
tubing near radiators, hot water pipes, etc. If substantial lengths of tubing
are necessary, insulation may be required to prevent loss of cooling capacity.
Tubing and insulation are available from Thermo Fisher. Contact our Sales
Department for more information (see Preface, After-sale Support).

It is important to keep the distance between the unit and the external system
as short as possible, and to use the largest diameter tubing practical. Tubing
should be straight and without bends. If diameter reductions must be made,
make them at the inlet and outlet of the external system, not at the unit.

If substantial lengths of lines are required, they should be pre-filled with bath
fluid before connecting them to the unit. This will ensure that an adequate
amount of fluid will be in the bath once it is in operation.

Drain

Ensure the bath fluid is at a safe handling temperature before draining

the unit.

The unit is equipped with a drain located at the back of the unit labelled .
To drain the reservoir attach a hose to the barb and loosen the fitting. The
fitting has a stop to prevent it from coming off.

Pumping
The pump is designed to deliver a flow of 15 liters per minute (4 gallons per
minute) at 0 feet head. To prevent external circulation, the pump inlet and
outlet lines on the rear of the unit are capped. The caps must be removed when
external circulation is required.

To properly secure external hose connections to the unit, wrap Teflon® tape
around the pipe line threads before installation. Once the hose connections are
made, the hoses must be properly plumbed to an external system. It is
important the bath is not in operation until all plumbing is complete.

- 13 -
 Tap Water
Cooling Coils
The unit is equipped with a cooling coil located behind the stainless steel baffle
in the bath, see page 5. The coil is useful for maintaining near-ambient tem-
peratures, or when cooling from elevated temperatures. Temperature stability
can also improve by circulating cold fluid through the coil. For best results, the
fluid should be at least 5°C below the temperature setpoint. The required fluid
flow rate depends on the type of fluid, the setpoint, and the desired stability.
Installation and Operation

The plumbing connections for the cooling coil are 3/8 inch OD stainless steel
tubes located on the lower rear of the unit. These connections will accept
3
/8 inch or 5/16 inch ID tubing. Tubing is available from Thermo Fisher.

Connect the cold fluid source to either fitting. Connect the other fitting to the
cold fluid return (or drain if tap water is being used).

Circulating to an open container
Levelling
Device
Outlet Inlet

Installation and Operation

Bath (Rear View) Open Container

A stainless steel leveling device is available to aid circulation to an open

vessel. Contact our Sales Department for more information (see Preface).

Support the leveling device over the open container with a ringstand. Stagger
the tubes in the leveling device so one tube is submerged in the vessel fluid,
and the other tube is level with the fluid surface. Connect the deeper tube to
the pump outlet and the shorter tube to the pump inlet.

Adjust the flow rate using the accessory flow control valve connected to the
pump outlet, or by partially restricting the outlet tubing. When properly
adjusted, the pump inlet will draw an occasional air bubble to prevent over
flow, and the pump outlet will force fluid through the submerged tube to
prevent aeration of the vessel.

To avoid siphoning the bath work area when the unit is shut off, lift the
leveling device out of the vessel and above the level of the unit.

Circulating through two closed-loops

System #1

Bath
Work Area

System #2

Bath (Top View)

The pump can be used to circulate through two closed-loop systems. Connect
the shortest practical length of flexible tubing from the pump outlet to the inlet
of external system #1. Connect the outlet of system #1 directly into the bath
work area. Connect tubing from the bath work area to the inlet of system #2.
Connect the outlet of system #2 to the pump inlet.

 Fluids

The user is always responsible for the fluid used. Never use flammable
or corrosive fluids with this unit. The use of chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite in the baths will cause pitting that could damage the
heater coils.

Handling and disposal of liquids other than water should be done in

Installation and Operation

accordance with the fluid manufacturers specification and/or the MSDS

for the fluid us

For fluid selection consider application requirements, operating temperature

range, material compatibility, safety concerns, and environmental issues.

Wetted materials of bath include; 316 and 304 Stainless steels, Ryton® (PPS),
Teflon®(PTFE) and Ethlyene-Propylene rubber (EPDM).

Deionized (up to 18 MOhmcm) and distilled water are recommended to control

corrosion and algae bloom. See Water Quality Standards and Recommenda-
tion in Appendix A.

Ethylene glycol and water, propylene glycol and water, silicone oil, and filtered
water are acceptable fluids. See Appendix A for additional information.

Please call Thermo Fisher customer service to discuss high temperature fluid
selections. However, we will often refer you to chemical companies specializ-
ing in heat transfer fluids.

Filling
Requirements
Ensure the drain on the back of the unit is closed before filling the unit.

The bath work area has a high and low level marker to guide filling. The
markers are 1 inch horizontal slits located in the center of the stainless steel
baffle separating the work area and the pump assembly. The correct fluid
level falls between these two markers.

NOTE: The unit is equipped with a reservoir level float switch. The switch
prevents the unit from starting if the fluid is below the lower slit.

When pumping to an external system, keep extra fluid on hand to maintain

the proper level in both the circulating lines and the external system.

Avoid overfilling, fluids expand when heated.

 Start Up/Shut Down
(Digital One/Digital Plus)

Installation and Operation

Controller

Pre-Start Before starting the unit, double check all electrical and plumbing connections.
Ensure the bath reservoir is properly filled. The unit will not start if the reservoir
fluid level is below the lower horizontal slit.

The unit can be configured for automatic restart. If the unit shuts down as
a result of a losing power, once power is restored the unit will restart.
See Setup/Tuning Loop on page 21 to enable this feature.

Starting Press . The controller does a self-test (sequences through the LEDs, and
Digital Plus units momentarily sound the alarm), then quickly displays the
setpoint before displaying the reservoir fluid temperature. The pump will start.

NOTE: If the unit's recirculating fluid is outside either temperature limit, the unit
will start but the appropriate indicator will flash until the fluid is within the limit.

Setpoint To display/change the setpoint press until illuminates. The display

will flash the current setpoint value. Use the arrow buttons to change the value.
The controller will not allow you to enter a setpoint closer than 0.1°C of either
temperature alarm setting, see next page. Attempting to causes the indicator
to flash and, on Digital Plus controllers, sounds the alarm.

Once an arrow button is depressed starts to flash. If an arrow button is not

pressed within 10 seconds the display will return to the reservoir temperature.

On units with the Digital Plus controller, pressing Mute prior to pressing
SCROLL will abort any change and return you to the fluid temperature display.

Once the desired setpoint is displayed, press again to confirm the

 Setup/Tuning Loop
(Digital One/Digital Plus)
The Setup/Tuning Loop is used to tune the controller's PID parameters (HEAt);
enable/disable auto restart (AStrt); determine how the unit will react when a
fault occurs (FAUlt) — either shut down (on) or continue to run (oFF); and to
configure the temperature display to indicate to a tenth or a hundredth of a
degree (rES).

Installation and Operation

To enter the loop you must be displaying the reservoir fluid temperature, press
and hold and then press . The display will indicate tunE. Use the arrow
keys to sequence through the loop and to change a display. Use to
confirm any changes.

Thermo Fisher recommends that only

a qualified technician change PID
parameters. Incorrect PID values will
hamper unit performance. See page
42 for factory preset PID values.

will have to be used to restore the settings.

Temperature Offset Mode. Pressing the Offset button, with the bath on,
enable/disables the temperature offset mode. This mode changes the tempera-
Offset ture displayed on the bath a user defined amount. The LED will be lit when this
mode is enabled indicating that the temperature displayed is an offset value.
NOTE: The temperature offset only affects the displayed value when the offset
mode is enabled, the other setpoint values still dictate unit performance.

To setup the bath for offset mode operation see Offset Setup Loop on page 26.
If you press the Offset button when an offset has not been previously defined,
or if serial communications is enabled, the button will flash, the unit will beep
three times, and the display will momentarily show an error message. In either
case the function can not be enabled.

NOTE: Use this feature only when the bath is at a stable temperature.

In either local or Computer mode with offset disabled, the unit controls to and
displays the calibrated value for the internal or external probe, whichever is
selected.

In local mode with offset enabled, the unit still controls to the calibrated value,
not the offset value, for the internal or external probe. The display shows the
calibrated value with the offset value added.

In Computer mode with offset enabled, the unit still controls to the calibrated
values, not the offset value, for the internal or external probe. The display
shows the calibrated value with the offset value added. If you send a signal to
the bath to display internal or external probe temperatures, the calibrated value
is returned. If you send a signal to change the display value the offset value is
returned.

 High Temperature Cutout
(Digital One/Digital Plus)
Adjustable High Temperature Cutout
To protect your application, the adjustable High Temperature Cutout ensures
the heater will not exceed temperatures that can cause serious damage to
your unit. A single temperature sensor is located in the bath fluid. A High
Temperature fault occurs when the temperature of the sensor exceeds the set
temperature limit. The safety has a range of 0°C to 230±20°C.

In the event of a fault the unit will shut down and the controller will display HtC.
Installation and Operation

The cause of the fault must be identified and corrected before the unit can be
manually restarted.

The cutout is not preset and must be adjusted during initial installation. To set
the cutout, locate the small black adjustment dial on the rear of the controller.
Turn the dial fully clockwise and turn the power switch off then back on.

Start the unit. Adjust the setpoint for a few degrees higher than the highest
desired fluid temperature and allow the bath to stabilize at the temperature
setpoint. Turn the dial counterclockwise until you hear a click and the unit
shuts down.

Before you can restart the bath it has to cool down a few degrees. Then,
without moving the adjustment dial, turn the power switch off then back on.

NOTE: We recommend rechecking operation if the unit is moved.

High Temperature Cutout

Non-Adjustable High Temperature Cutout

For added safety, the unit also has a non-adjustable High Temperature Cutout.
With fluid in the bath, it is set to trip at 225°C ±8°C.

If the bath is empty, the cutout has a typical trip point of 300°C. The heater
temperature can continue to rise after the cutout trips up to approximately
314°C.

There will be no indication the High Temperature Cutout activated other than an
audible click. The unit will continue to run but the heater will no longer operate.
Service will be required.

To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the mains cord prior to removing
any access panels or covers.

Service Contracts
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers on-site Service Contracts designed to provide
extended life and minimal down-time for your unit. For more information,
contact our Service Department (see Preface, After-sale Support).

Reservoir Fluid
Periodically inspect the reservoir fluid. If cleaning is necessary, flush the
reservoir with a cleaning fluid compatible with your application.

The reservoir fluid should be replaced periodically. Frequency depends on the

operating environment and time of usage.

Before changing the reservoir fluid ensure it is at a safe handling

temperature.

Reservoir Cleaning

Maintenance
Routine cleaning can be achieved by simply sponging down the seamless
stainless steel tank with tap water. (Dish washing detergent may be used but
the tank must be thoroughly rinsed.)

Algae
To restrict the growth of algae in the bath, we recommend that all circulation
lines be opaque. This will eliminate the entrance of light required for the growth
of most common algae.

We recommend the use of Chloramine-T, 1 gram per 3½ liters.

 Appendix A Fluids
Water Quality Standard and Recommendations
Permissible (PPM) Desirable (PPM)
Microbiologicals
(algae, bacteria, fungi) 0 0
Inorganic Chemicals
Calcium <25 <0.6
Chloride <25 <10
Magnesium <12 <0.1
Sulfate <25 <1
Total Hardness <17 <0.05

Unfavorably high total ionized solids (TIS) can accelerate the rate of galvanic
corrosion. These contaminants can function as electrolytes which increase the
potential for galvanic cell corrosion and lead to localized corrosion such as
pitting.
High water hardness (Calcium and Maganese) can also produce scaling. For
example, tap water in the U.S. averages 171 ppm (of NaCl). The recommended
level for use in a water system is between 0.5 to 5.0 ppm (of NaCl).
Recommendation: Initially fill the tank with distilled/deionized water. Do not use
untreated tap water as the total ionized solids level may be too high.
Maintain this water quality at a resistivity of between 1 to 10 MOhmcm (com-
pensated to 25°C) by using a purification system. Although the initial fill may
be as high as 18 MOhmcm (compensated to 25°C), the desired level for long
time usage is 1 to 3 MOhmcm (compensated to 25°C).
The above two recommendations will reduce the electrolytic potential of the
water and prevent or reduce the galvanic corrosion observed.

Appendix A

A-1
 EX Compatibility with
Recommended Fluids

Filtered/Singled Distilled water

This fluid is recommended primarily because it has all microorganisms that cause biological fouling
removed through vaporizing and condensing the water. However, distilled water does not remain pure
for very long when exposed to the atmosphere. Air-born spores can contaminate the water and
activate algae growth. Chloramine-T is a compatible algaecide that can be used to combat growth but
a more effective maintenance plan would include switching out the fluid with newly distilled water every
six months. The particulates that have been filtered out in the process are also preventative in keeping
the system “clean” of contaminants. Distilling water that contains an additive could increase the
concentration of that additive in the water.

50/50 Uninhibited Ethylene Glycol/Water

Ethylene glycol is used to depress the freezing point of water as a coolant. We recommend not
using the uninhibited (no corrosion additives) above 60°C because it breaks down into acidic by-
products faster at high temperatures. These acidic by-products, especially carbonic acid, are
corrosive to copper. The inhibitors are used to control the corrosion rates by passivating the metal
surfaces with an inert film. Uninhibited ethylene is more corrosive to copper that plain water so
therefore it is not recommended unless it is required for the application.

50/50 Inhibited Ethylene Glycol/ Water

Inhibited glycol can be used to increase the operating temperature range of the fluid but should not
be used as a “pre-mixed anticorrosive” solution. Again, this fluid does break down over time at high
temperatures. Industry standards use a pH standard of 8 to determine when the fluid has become
corrosive. Dowtherm® is an ethylene based product that contains dipotassium phosphates in a 4%
concentration. The recommended use of Dowtherm® is mixing with distilled or deionized water or
water that contains less than 25 ppm chloride and sulfate and less than 100 ppm total hardness of
CACO3. The general term, inhibited glycol/water, is too close to meaning inhibited water. Inhibited
water can have many types of additives including chromate that will foul the cooling system very
quickly.

50/50 Uninhibited Propylene Glycol/ Water

Although the use of this propylene glycol is similar to ethylene glycol, propylene glycol is consid-
Appendix A

ered “safe” to use in the food industry. Propylene is less dense than ethylene and therefore will
have a tendency to weep more through mechanical seals.

50/50 Inhibited Propylene Glycol/ Water

Same issues as with uninhibited propylene and uninhibited ethylene glycol.

Deionized Water (1-3 MOhmcm, compensated)

This water has had the conductive ions that cause galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals
removed. However, since this is not the normal state of water, when it is too pure deionized water
is aggressive to metal. The leaching of metallic ions from the metal surface is seen in pitting.

NEVER use flammable or corrosive fluids with this unit. Do not use automotive anti-
freeze. Commercial antifreeze contains silicates that can damage the unit. Use of
automotive antifreeze may void the manufacturer’s warranty.

A-2
 Appendix B NC Serial Communications Protocol
(Digital Plus Only) NOTE: This appendix assumes you have a basic understanding of serial
communications protocols.

All data is sent and received in binary form, do not use ASCII. In the following
pages the binary data is represented in hexadecimal (hex) format.

The NC Serial Communications Protocol is based on a master-slave model.

The master is a host computer, while the slave is the bath's controller. Only
the master can initiate a communications transaction (half-duplex). The bath
ends the transaction by responding to the master’s query. The protocol uses
either an RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface with the default parameters: 19200
baud, 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and for RS-485 a selectable
address from 1 to 100.

NOTE: Before the unit will communicate, serial communication must be turned
on using the controller's Computer button.

The unit can be controlled through your computer’s serial port by using the
unit's standard female 9-pin connection.

RS-232 RS-485
1 No Connection 1-7 No connection
2 TX 8 T+
9-pin female

3 RX 9 T-
4 No Connection
5 Signal Ground
6-9 No Connection

To connect the bath to your computer, a M/F 9 pin D-Subminiature extension

cable will be required. See page 32 for cables available from Thermo Fisher.

All commands must be entered in the exact format shown in the tables on the
following pages. The tables on the last page of this Appendix show all com-
mands available, their format and responses. Controller responses are either
the requested data or an error message. The controller response must be
received before the host sends the next command.

The host sends a command embedded in a single communications packet,

Appendix B

then waits for the controller’s response. If the command is not understood or
the checksums do not agree, the controller responds with an error command.
Otherwise, the controller responds with the requested data. If the controller
fails to respond within 1 second, the host should re-send the command.

During RS-485 operation the bath will wait at least 5 milliseconds after receiv-
ing the checksum byte before asserting its transmitter for the purpose of
replying to the host. Therefore, when the host is done sending a command, it
must disable its transmitter in less than 5 milliseconds. When the bath is done
sending its reply, it will disable its transmitter in less than 5 milliseconds.

B-1
 NC Serial Communications Protocol
NOTE: All byte values are shown in hex, hex represents the binary values that must be sent to the bath. Do not
use ASCII.

The framing of the communications packet in both directions is:

Checksum region

Lead char Addr-MSB Addr-LSB Command n d-bytes d-byte 1 ... d-byte n Checksum
CA or CC 00

Lead char RS-232 = CA (hex) RS-485 = CC (hex).

Device address is 1 - 64 hex (1 - 100 decimal)
Addr-msb Most significant byte of device address is 00 hex.
Addr-lsb Least significant byte of device address is 01 - 64 hex (1 - 100 decimal) for
RS-485, 01 for RS-232.
Command Command byte (see Table 1).
n d-bytes Number of data bytes to follow (00 to 08 hex).
d-byte 1 1st data byte (the qualifier byte is considered a data byte).
... ...
d-byte n nth data byte.
Checksum Bitwise inversion of the 1 byte sum of bytes beginning with the most signifi-
cant address byte and ending with the byte preceding the checksum. (To
perform a bitwise inversion, "exclusive OR" the one byte sum with FF hex.)

The master requests information by sending one of the Read Functions as shown in Table 1 on page B-4. Since
no data is sent to the bath during a read request, the master uses 00 for the number of data bytes following the
command byte.

The bath will respond to a Read Function by echoing the lead character, address, and command byte, followed
by the requested data and checksum. When the bath sends data, a qualifier byte is sent first, followed by a two
byte signed integer (16 bit, MSB sent first). The qualifier byte indicates the precision and units of measure for
the requested data as detailed in Table 2.

As an RS-232 example, the master requests to read internal temperature by sending:

The checksum is the bitwise inversion of 21

command byte
(00+01+20+00) = 21

CA 00 01 20 00 DE byte values are in hex

Appendix B

0 bytes of data

If the temperature is 62.5°C, the bath would reply: The qualifier byte of 11 indicates a precision of 1
decimal point and units of °C. The temperature of
62.5°C is 625 decimal = 271 hex.
command byte

CA 00 01 20 03 11 02 71 57
The checksum is the bitwise inversion of A8
3 bytes to follow (00+01+20+03+11+02+71) = A8
A8 ^ FF = 57
^ = Bitwise XOR function

B-2
The master sets parameters in the bath by sending one of the Set Functions as shown in Table 1. The master
does not send a qualifier byte in the data field. The master should be pre-programmed to send the correct
precision and units (it could also read the parameter of interest first to decode the correct precision and units
needed).

As an RS-485 example, if the master wants to set the setpoint to 30°C, it would send :
The checksum is the bitwise inversion of 22
command byte (00+03+F0+02+01+2C) = 122
Take the LSB = 22
CC 00 03 F0 02 01 2C DD
2 bytes to follow The temperature of 30.0°C is 300 decimal = 012C hex.

The bath responds:

The qualifier byte of 11 indicates a precision of 1
decimal point and units of °C. The temperature of
30.0°C is 300 decimal = 012C hex.
command byte

CC 00 03 F0 03 11 01 2C CB
The checksum is the bitwise inversion of 34
3 bytes to follow (00+03+F0+03+11+01+2C) = 134
