OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS : ICB-12
Connect the instrument to a grounded mains outlet, after ensuring that the Voltage is the same as stated on the name plate.
The instrument must be connected to an earthed (grounded) supply.
Secure the Instrument to the Bath using the fixing bow.
Use only distilled or soft water, to avoid build-up of scale on the heating element. Do not use inflammable liquids.
The minimal water level must be about 3 cm above the holes near the pump housing.
The two spring clamps are intended for fixing of a reference thermometer.
Switch the instrument on, and adjust the required temperature by turning the knob, if there is a deviation, between the
temperatures of the bath and the knob (after the temperature in the bath has settled), adjust the knob accordingly.
When the heating element is in action, the red pilot lamp lights in accordance with the switching of the thermostat..
The flow can be reduced by a clamp pressing a plastic or rubber hose fastened on the jet nozzle.
The circulation pump allows also the circulation of temperature controlled water to instruments outside the baths. In these
instances it is imperative that the water is returned to the bath, preferably in the vicinity of the heating element.
SAFETY Model, the ICB-12 is equipped with an additional safety Cut-Off, preventing element burn-out, if the water level falls.
To reset push the brown button on the rear of the instrument.
The instruments do not require any maintenance, except the periodic removal of scale on the pump and heating element. The
pump housing can easily be cleaned by removing the three screws at the bottom of the pump housing. After removing the
instrument from water, the pump should be placed downwards (to avoid water penetration).
