Operating manual
1. Intended use
Fulfilling its principle task, reliable temperature control and measurement, the LC6 temperature
controller also implements safety and monitoring functions, particularly in the areas of chemical
research and quality control. The sophisticated capabilities of the unit allow wide application with
electrical heating devices such as
heating hoods, heating baths,
heating pads and bandages,
water and oil baths.
JULABO Temperature controllers 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).
1.1. Description
Setting is rapid and simple using the keypad with its easy to learn symbols. Keypad is splash-
proof, easily cleaned and ergonomically designed.
The microprocessor technology allows four temperature values to be stored and indicated on the
DIALOG-DISPLAY (LCD): working temperatures T1 and T2, high and low temperature warning
limits.
The safety value for excess temperature protection, a safety installation independent from the
control circuit, is adjustable on the front with simultaneous indication on the MULTI-DISPLAY
(LED).
The RS232/RS485 port permits modern process engineering without additional interface, directly
on-line, from the circulator to your application equipment.
Besides the digital interface, additionally analog connectors are provided, such as for
Pt100 external sensor, analog programmer input, temperature recorder output and others.
2. 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.
 Make sure all persons tasked with operating, installing, and maintaining the unit have read and
understand the safety information and operating instructions.
 When using hazardous materials or materials that could become hazardous, the circulator
may be operated only by persons who are absolutely familiar with these materials and the
circulator. These persons must be fully aware of possible risks.
