Installation and Startup
WARNING: Be sure all power is off before proceeding.
Site Requirements
Ambient Temperature and Relative Humidity
The Chiller is designed for indoor installation in ambient temperatures between 5° and 30°C (41° and 86°F);
relative humidity should not exceed 80% (non-condensing).
Location
The Chiller should be installed on a strong, level surface. It should be located as close to possible to the process
requiring cooling. It should not be installed closer than 4 feet (1.4 meters) to a heat-generating source, such as
heating pipes, boilers, etc. If possible, the Chiller should be located near a suitable drain to prevent flooding in the
event of leaks. Do not place it where corrosive fumes, excessive moisture, excessive dust, or high room
temperatures are present.
For ease of positioning and maneuverability, the Chiller is supplied with casters. The front wheels can be locked
to keep the Chiller in place while in use.
To help prevent voltage drops, position the Chiller as close as possible to the power distribution panel. Avoid
voltage drops by using a properly grounded power outlet wired with 14 gauge or larger diameter wire. The use of
an extension cord is not recommended.
NOTE: The Chiller may be located at a level below that of the equipment being cooled. As long as the
process remains closed, overflow will not occur when adding cooling fluid to the Chiller reservoir.
Clearance
Adequate clearance should be allowed on the front, sides, and rear of the Chiller for access to connections and
components. The front and rear vents of the Chiller must be a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) away from walls or
vertical surfaces so air flow is not restricted.
Electrical Power
An IEC power cord is provided with the Chiller. It should be attached to the receptacle on the rear of the
enclosure. Make sure that the power outlet used for the Chiller is properly grounded and matches the voltage and
frequency indicated on the identification label on the back of the Chiller.
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if one is necessary, it must be properly grounded
and capable of handling the total wattage of the unit. The extension cord must not cause more than a 10% drop in
voltage to the Chiller.
WARNING: DO NOT plug the Chiller into the electrical outlet until the unit is ready for startup (see Startup).
110-240 8
Optional Signal Inputs/Outputs
External Ambient Tracking Temperature Probe
This option allows you to control the cooling fluid temperature using an external temperature measurement
(ambient room/machine temperature or process temperature). A 9-pin connector is provided on either the
underside of the local control panel or on the rear panel for connecting the external probe.
NOTE: In order for the Chiller to properly recognize the presence of the external temperature probe, the
probe must be connected to the unit before power is applied.
RS232 / RS-485 Serial Output

This option allows you to remotely control the Chiller and/or output temperature readings to an external recorder
or other auxiliary device. The maximum communications distance for Chillers equipped with the RS232 option is
50 feet (15 meters). The maximum distance for units equipped with the RS485 option is 4000 feet (1200 meters).
A 9-pin D-connector is provided on the rear of the instrument enclosure for this connection.
Remote I/O Port

This option allows you to use an external 12 VDC signal or a dry contact closure to turn the Chiller on and off.
Chiller status is also available from this port. A 15-pin D-connector is provided on the rear of the instrument
enclosure for this connection. See schematic at the end of this manual.
Plumbing
Process Piping
The Chiller has two internally threaded (1/2 inch ID NPT) fittings on the rear of the instrument housing for the
process water connections. Two sets of adapters (1/2 inch ID and 5/8 inch ID) are supplied with the unit for
connecting these fittings to the process piping.
To maintain a safe workplace and avoid leaks, special care should be taken when choosing hoses and
connectors for the Chiller. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the tubing and fittings connected to the
Chiller are compatible with the fluid, temperature, and pressure being used.
Pressure Ratings — Hoses should be able to withstand the largest pressure that they will encounter.
For “P” Series (positive displacement pump) and “T” Series (turbine pump) Chillers, this is 100 psi (689 kPa).
Flexible Tubing — Avoid tubing that will expand and take up fluid volume when operating at the desired
pressure.
Hose Diameter — Process piping/hosing with a diameter smaller than ½ inch ID can be used if desired.
However, keep in mind that using smaller diameter hosing increases pressure in the circulating system.
Couplings and Clamps — The use of screw-tightened hose clamps is necessary on all joints to insure good,
tight connections. Quick connectors are not recommended as they have the potential for restricting flow rate.
Reservoir Drain
A ½ inch NPT connection is provided for the reservoir’s gravity drain. It should be piped to a drain or receptacle
positioned below the bottom of the reservoir. If a receptacle is used, be sure it is of sufficient volume to hold all
the water in the reservoir, process, and process lines.
External Water Filter

An optional water filter is available that can be connected to the Chiller’s fluid inlet or fluid outlet. Consult supplier
for additional information.
110-240 9
Closed System or Cooling Coil Setup
Connect the Chiller’s inlet and outlet to the external apparatus with hoses or pipes. The direction of the flow
through the system can be controlled by the way the connections are made. Fluid is drawn into the Chiller through
the “Inlet” connection; fluid is pumped out of the Chiller through the “Outlet” connection.
NOTE: When Chillers with the standard magnetic drive centrifugal pump are connected to an external
apparatus with a built-in shutoff, an external bypass loop assembly (Cat. No. 510-147) may be needed if
operating below 20°C (68°F). This bypass assembly continues flow circulation to and from the pump even
when the main flow to the external apparatus is blocked.
Open Bath System Setup

Position the external tank at least two feet (0.6 meter) above the Chiller’s inlet.
Install a shutoff valve on both the inlet and outlet of the Chiller. Place the valves in the closed position.
Connect the shutoff valves to the external tank using the tubing of equal diameter (1/2 inch minimum) and length.
Use the same size fittings on both the inlet and outlet; this will ensure a balanced flow.
Cut the external end of the suction (inlet) tube into a “V” shape so that the tube will not seal itself against the wall
of the external tank. Both the pressure and suction tubing should be securely fastened to the external tank to
prevent movement during use. When using flexible tubing, the suction (inlet) tubing must have a wall thickness
that will not collapse under vacuum, particularly when going around bends.
Fill the external bath (see Startup, Process Coolant for suitable fluids).
Fill the Chiller reservoir to the top of the filler neck and install the filter screen and cap. Tighten the cap until it is
securely sealed.
Startup
Process Coolant
Suitable Fluids
WARNING: Only use fluids that will satisfy safety, health, and equipment compatibility requirements. Caustic,
corrosive, or flammable fluids must never be used.
The Chiller is designed to accommodate a variety of coolant fluids (water, glycol mixtures, etc). For most
applications above 20°C (68°F), distilled water is satisfactory. For operation at or below 20°C (68°F), the Chiller
must be protected with an antifreeze solution. Ethylene glycol (laboratory grade) and distilled water in a 50/50
mixture is satisfactory from +20° to -15°C (68° to 5°F). Select a fluid that is compatible with the Chiller’s wetted
parts (brass, stainless steel, polyethylene, EPDM rubber, and nylon).
WARNING: Do not use caustic, corrosive, or flammable fluids.
WARNING: Operation below 20°C (68°F) requires antifreeze in the circulation fluid.
WARNING: FOR CHILLERS WITH MAGNETIC DRIVE PUMPS ONLY: A low temperature fluid, such as a
mixture of 50% ethylene or propylene glycol / 50% distilled water, or equivalent, must be used under all
operating conditions.
110-240 10
WARNING: Do not use the following fluids:
• Automotive antifreeze with additives**
• Hard tap water**
• Deionized water with a specific resistance > 1 meg ohm (except units with the DI water compatible
plumbing
• Any flammable fluids
• Concentrations of acids or bases
• Solutions with halides: chlorides, fluorides, bromides, iodides or sulfur
• Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)
• Solutions with chromates or chromium salts
• Glycerin
• Syltherm fluids
• ** At temperatures above 40°C, additives or mineral deposits can adhere to the heater. If deposits are allowed to
build up, the heater may overheat and fail. Higher temperatures and higher concentrations of additives can hasten
deposit build up.
Filling the Reservoir

Remove the filler cap from the reservoir and, using a funnel, add fluid until it reaches the MAX line on the
reservoir’s fluid level gauge. Once the reservoir is full, remove the funnel but do not replace the cap at this time.
Electrical Power
Plug the Chiller’s power cord into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Place the Circuit Breaker/Power Switch on the rear of the instrument enclosure in the “On” position. Three
decimal points will appear on the Temperature display; two decimal points will appear on the pressure/flow rate
display.
.. ...
Starting Process Fluid Flow
Press the Power Button on the front panel. The system startup sequence will begin and proceed as follows:
1. The pump will turn on and fluid will begin circulating through the system. The set point temperature will
appear briefly on the Temperature display; after a few seconds, it will be replaced by the actual fluid
temperature. Fifteen to twenty seconds after power up, the compressor will begin operating.
2. Check for leaks.
3. With the pump running, the reservoir’s fluid level will drop as the process and/or process cooling lines fill
with fluid. Add fluid as follows:
4. Closed Systems: Slowly add fluid to the reservoir until the liquid level remains stable.
4. Open Bath Systems:
A. Set the flow alarm to at least 4 LPM (see “Minimum Flow Rate”)
B. Open the inlet and outlet valves on the Chiller; the suction created by the pump should begin
drawing fluid through the inlet tubing into the Chiller reservoir.
C. Once flow is established (no air bubbles in inlet tubing), close the inlet and outlet valves and
turn the Chiller ‘off’.
D. Remove the reservoir cap and check the level of the fluid in the reservoir. Add coolant until it is
level with the top of the filler neck.
CAUTION: Always close the inlet and outlet valves before turning power to the Chiller ‘off’ or
removing the reservoir cap to prevent the external reservoir from flooding the Chiller.
110-240 11
E. Replace the reservoir cap, open the inlet and outlet valves, and restart the Chiller.
F. Observe the liquid level in the external reservoir; adjust the valve on the Chiller outlet as
required to maintain a stable fluid level.
CAUTION: When running an open loop system for extended periods, the fluid level in the
Chiller reservoir should be checked periodically to avoid low fluid conditions.
To check the reservoir fluid level, close the inlet and outlet valves, turn the Chiller ‘off’, and remove
the reservoir cap. Slowly open the inlet and outlet valves and allow fluid to drain from the external
reservoir into the Chiller reservoir. Close the valves when the fluid level within the Chiller reservoir
reaches the top of the filler neck. Add fluid to the external reservoir as required. Replace the
reservoir cap, open the inlet and outlet valves, and turn the Chiller back on.
110-240 12
Normal Operation
NOTE: The Chiller incorporates a special “lockout” feature that can be enabled to prevent unauthorized or
accidental set point and other operational changes. This feature is described in detail under “Enabling and
Disabling the Local Lockout.” It should not be enabled until all operational parameters have been set.
Selecting the Temperature Unit (°C or °F)

The LEDs adjacent to the Temperature Display indicate the unit (°C or °F) used for temperature displays.
To change from °C to °F or vice versa, proceed as follows:
To change to °F — Place the Circuit Breaker/Power Switch on the rear of the instrument in the “Off”
position. Press and hold the Units/Menu Select Button while returning the Circuit Breaker/Power Switch
to the “On” position.
To change to °C — Place the Circuit Breaker/Power Switch on the rear of the instrument in the “Off”
position. Press and hold the Power Button on the front panel while returning the Circuit Breaker/Power
Switch to the “On” position.
CAUTION: All user settings, except baud rate and calibration offset, return to the original factory defaults
when the temperature unit is changed. The Chiller’s temperature set point and various alarm settings should
be reset to the desired values.
Displaying and Adjusting the Set Point

Press the Select/Set Knob on the front panel. The current set point temperature will be displayed, and the decimal
point at the bottom right of the display will flash, indicating that the temperature can be changed.
Rotate the Select/Set Knob until the desired set point temperature is displayed. The setting is accepted after the
Set key is pressed a second time or automatically after a few seconds of inactivity.
When the set point is 20.0°C greater than the fluid temperature, the compressor and fan turn off. When the fluid
temperature has risen to 5.0°C below the set point, the compressor and fan (enabled up to 50°C) will turn on and
will remain on. If the set point is greater than the Auto-Refrigeration Temperature Set Point by 2°C, the
compressor and fan will remain off. See “Setting Operational Parameters, Auto-Refrigeration Temperature”.
NOTE: Temperature set point cannot be displayed or changed when the optional ambient temperature
tracking feature is installed and enabled. See “Displaying and Adjusting the Ambient Tracking Offset” below
and “ Setting Operational Parameters, Remote Probe”.
Displaying and Adjusting the Ambient Tracking Offset

NOTE: Ambient tracking is an optional function that may or may not be available on your Chiller. It permits
you to control fluid temperature based on room or machine temperature plus or minus a user-adjustable
offset temperature.
When the optional ambient tracking probe is installed and enabled (AtC, see “Setting Operational Parameters,
Remote Probe”), the ambient tracking offset rather than the set point temperature is displayed when the
Select/Set Knob on the front panel is pressed.
To change the displayed offset value, rotate the Select/Set Knob until the desired offset value is displayed. An
offset value from -5.0°C to +5.0°C (-9.0° to +9.0°F) may be entered. The setting is accepted after the Select/Set
knob is pressed a second time or automatically after a few seconds of inactivity.
110-240 13
Displaying and Adjusting the Remote Control Temperature
NOTE: Remote temperature control is an optional function that may or may not be available on your Chiller.
It permits you to control cooling based on the temperature of an external process.
When the optional remote control external probe is installed and enabled (rP, see Setting Operational
Parameters, Remote Probe), the external temperature set point is displayed when the Select/Set knob on the
front panel is pressed.
To change the external temperature set point, press and then rotate the Select/Set knob until the desired set point
temperature is displayed. The setting is accepted after the Select/Set knob is pressed a second time or
automatically after a few seconds of inactivity.
Selecting the Pressure / Flow Rate Display and Units

The Chiller can be set up to display either fluid pressure (in PSI or kPa) or if fitted with flow sensor flow rate in
GPM (Option E) or lpm (Option M). Pressing the Units/Menu Select button briefly toggles through the available
selections.
NOTE: If there is no flow sensor fitted, the display will show “- -“ when Option E or Option M is selected.
NOTE: The flow rate readout is intended as a reference only. If accurate flow readings are required, an
external flow meter is recommended.
NOTE: Metric pressure reading output is displayed in kPA and must be multiplied by 100 for Pa.
Selecting the Internal / External Temperature Display

NOTE: This section applies only when the ambient tracking probe or remote temperature control is installed
and enabled. It allows the user to check or continuously display either the Chiller’s internal outlet fluid
temperature or the external ambient/process temperature.
When the ambient tracking probe is selected (AtC, see “Setting Operational Parameters, Remote Probe”), the
Chiller normally displays the internal outlet fluid temperature. To display the external ambient temperature, press
and release the Units/Menu Select button until P2 appears on the pressure/flow rate display.
When the remote temperature control probe is selected (rPC, see “Setting Operational Parameters, Remote
Probe” ), the Chiller normally displays the external process temperature. To display the internal outlet fluid
temperature, press and release the Units/Menu Select button until P1 appears on the pressure/flow rate display.
NOTE: P1 or P2 will remain on the pressure/flow rate display until the Units/Menu Select button is pressed
and released. The displayed temperature will revert to the default condition (internal temperature for the
ambient probe, external temperature for the remote temperature control probe).
110-240 14
Setting Operational Parameters
The Chiller’s various operational parameters, such as temperature, flow rate, and pressure alarm values, are all
user-adjustable. They are accessed by pressing and holding the Units/Menu Button until HL appears on the
pressure/flow rate display. Pressing and releasing the Units/Menu Button once HL appears allows you to scroll
through the various parameters; rotating the Select/Set knob allows you to change the displayed setting. You can

You can adjust the following settings for your particular application or simply accept the default values.
High Temperature Limit (HL)

This menu item serves two functions. First, it establishes the maximum allowable set point temperature and thus
helps prevent an operator from inadvertently selecting a temperature set point above a pre-established value.
Secondly, it serves as a high temperature alarm, automatically activating both audio and visual alarm indicators if
the measured fluid temperature reaches the HL setting. This also causes the compressor, heater, fan, and pump
to turn off.
To change the high limit value, rotate the Select/Set knob until the desired value is displayed.
HL 71.0
Low Temperature Limit (LL)

This menu item also serves a dual function. First, it establishes the minimum allowable set point temperature and
thus helps prevent an operator from inadvertently selecting a temperature set point below a pre-established value.
Secondly, it serves as a low temperature alarm, automatically activating both audio and visual alarm indicators if
the measured fluid temperature drops to the LL setting. This also causes the compressor, heater, fan, and pump
to turn off.
To change the low limit value, rotate the Select/Set knob until the desired value is displayed.

NOTE: Chillers with positive displacement and turbine pumps also incorporate a built-in safety that
automatically maintains fluid pressure below a valve-regulated pressure value. It maintains this maximum
outlet pressure by diverting the flow of process fluid to the reservoir (i.e., begin internally recirculating the
fluid). A maximum pressure value is set at the factory, but is user-adjustable. See “Adjusting the High
Pressure Bypass Setting” for information on changing the maximum outlet pressure value.
Minimum Flow Rate (FL)
CAUTION: If flow rates are below 1.5 GPM (5.7 LPM), this feature is not recommended as nuisance alarms
may result.
This is the minimum allowable flow rate and can be set in either GPM or LPM (the LED adjacent to the display
indicates the active unit of measure). Should the fluid flow rate drop below the minimum value, the audio and
visual alarms will activate, and the compressor, heater, fan, and pump will turn off.
To change the minimum flow rate value, rotate the Select/Set Knob until the desired flow rate value is displayed
on the temperature readout.
With FL set to “0”, the flow alarm is disabled, and the chiller will continue to operate with the output flow blocked.
NOTE: When FL first appears, the Option E LED will be lit, indicating the FL value is GPM. To view the FL
value in LPM, press the Units/Menu Button again. The FL will remain on the display and the Option M (LPM)

Adjusting the High Pressure Bypass Setting
Chiller with positive displacement or turbine pumps incorporate an automatic safety to maintain outlet pressure
below a valve-regulated pressure. This valve is adjustable and is located inside the Chiller housing.
WARNING: There are exposed fan blades inside the Chiller housing. Exercise extreme care when accessing
or adjusting any interior components.
WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present.
To access the high-pressure bypass valve, remove the two screws at the upper left and right corners of the
Chiller’s rear panel, slide the top panel back about 2-3 inches, and lift off. The regulator valve is located in the left
rear corner of the unit.
The high-pressure bypass is adjusted as follows:
1. Set the low flow rate alarm value to zero (see Setting Operational Parameters, Minimum Flow Rate). This
will prevent the unit from activating the flow alarm while you are adjusting the maximum pressure setting.
2. Completely block the Chiller’s outlet flow. This should cause the outlet pressure to rise.
3. Set the Pressure/Flow Rate display to read either PSI or kPa.
4. Rotate the handle on the pressure valve until the desired maximum pressure setting is shown on the
Pressure/Flow Rate display.
5. Reset the flow alarm value to the previous setting.
6. Return the Pressure/Flow Rate display to the previous setting.
7. Replace the top panel of the Chiller, being sure to secure the bayonet-style prongs on the front of the panel
in the openings at the front of the unit. Reinsert the two screws that secure the top panel to the rear panel of
the unit.
Enabling / Disabling the Local Lockout

This feature is used to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to set point and other operational values.
When enabled, the values for the following functions can be displayed, but not changed:
• Temperature unit
• Temperature set point
• Ambient tracking offset
• Pressure / flow rate units
To enable the local lockout, press and hold the Select/Set Knob until LLO is displayed (approximately 5 seconds).
Once enabled, LLO will appear momentarily when the Select/Set Knob is pressed to display the set point.
To disable the local lockout, press and hold the Select/Set knob until CAn appears momentarily as local lockout
status changes from enabled (LLO) to disabled (approximately 5 seconds).
CAUTION: The Local Lockout feature does not prevent set point changes entered via the RS232 interface.

Routine Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Routine Maintenance
The Chiller is designed to require a minimum of periodic maintenance.
Standard Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Pump
WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present. Turn all power to the Chiller OFF and unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
When operating continuously. this pump should be oiled every six (6) months with SAE 20 oil. The pump
incorporates two oil ports for this purpose.
To access the pump:
1. Turn both power switches off and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the top panel of the housing (held in place with two bolts at the upper left and right corners of the
rear panel).
3. Remove the housing’s side panels by lifting them out of the housing frame.
Condenser, Air Vents and Reusable Filter

To keep the system operating at optimum cooling capacity, the condenser, the air vents,
and reusable filter should be kept free of dust and dirt. They should be checked on a
regular basis and cleaned as required.
The reusable filter is easily accessed from either the left or right side of the unit. Use a
mild detergent and water solution to wash off any accumulated dust and dirt. Rinse and dry
thoroughly before reinstalling.
Fluid Filter
A removable, highly efficient fluid filter is integrated into the fluid reservoir. To remove it for
cleaning, simply remove the reservoir cap and lift the filter out of the reservoir. Rinse off accumulated particulate
matter and reinstall.
Fluid Level
The fluid level gauge on the rear of the Chiller should be periodically checked to determine if the fluid level needs
to be topped off. Generally, fluid should be added whenever the level in the reservoir is at or near the “Low”
gauge mark.
Temperature Calibration
At times, there may be a minor temperature difference between the Chiller’s displayed temperature and the actual
temperature as determined by a certified temperature measurement device. There may also be situations where
you want the displayed temperature to match a particular value to have standardization between different
instruments. These adjustments can be performed using the Chiller’s internal and/or external temperature
calibration offset functions. See “Setting Operational Parameters, Remote Probe and Internal Calibration Offset”.
110-240 24
Troubleshooting
Many problems can be resolved by restoring the factory defaults. If this solves the problem, be careful when
restoring your operational settings in order not to repeat the problem.
To restore the factory default settings:
1. Place the Power Switch/Circuit Breaker on the rear of the unit in the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the Power Button on the front panel while returning the Power Switch/Circuit Breaker to

RS232 Communications
Serial Connector — A 9-pin D-connector is provided on the back panel of the Chiller for RS232 data
communication. A serial cable that uses only the following pins should be used to connect the Chiller to the
computer:
Pin #2 — data read (data from computer)
Pin #3 — data transmit (data to computer)
Pin #5 — signal ground
RS232 Protocol — The controller uses the following RS232 protocol:

Data bits — 8
Parity — none
Stop bits — 1
Flow control — none
Baud rate — selectable (Chiller and PC baud rates must match).
Communications Commands — Commands must be entered in the exact format shown. Do not send a [LF] (line
feed) after the [CR] (character return). Be sure to follow character case exactly. A response followed by an
exclamation point (!) indicates that a command was executed correctly. A question mark (?) indicates that the Chiller
could not execute the command (either because it was in an improper format or the values were outside the
allowable range). A response must be received from the Chiller before another command can be sent. All responses
are terminated with a single [CR].
