Operating manual
1. Intended
use
JULABO circulators have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a bath 
tank. 
JULABO circulators are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods, semi-
luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products. Direct 
temperature control means unprotected contact of the object with the bath 
medium (bath fluid).

RS232
The circulators are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The implemented 
microprocessor technology allows to set and to store different values that 
can be indicated on the MULTI-DISPLAY (LED). Three menu keys facilitate 
adjusting setpoints, warning and safety functions and menu functions. 
The PID temperature control adapts the heat supplied to the thermal 
requirements of the bath. 
Absolute Temperature Calibration (ATC3) provides a high temperature 
stability in the bath. With the 3-point calibration an offset is adjusted at three 
temperatures to ensure an accurate temperature pattern at the selected spot 
in the bath over the full temperature range. 
Electrical connections: 
The serial interface RS232 to allows modern process technology without 
additional interface. 
Alarm output for external alarm message or control of JULABO refrigerating 
baths or solenoid valve (cooling water). 
The excess temperature protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010 is a 
safety installation independent from the control circuit. This protection can be 
indicated and set on the MULTI-DISPLAY (LED). 
The early warning system for low level signals that bath fluid needs to be 
refilled before the low level protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010 
causes a complete shut-down of the main functional elements.

Operator responsibility – Safety recommendations
The products of JULABO ensure safe operation when installed, operated, and maintained 
according to common safety regulations. This section explains the potential dangers that may 
arise when operating the circulator and also specifies the most important safety precautions to 
preclude these dangers as far as possible. 
 The operator is responsible for the qualification of the personnel operating the units. 
 The personnel operating the units should be regularly instructed about the dangers 
involved with their job activities as well as measures to avert these dangers.
