3.1. componenti
- Testa di controllo: Digital display and user interface buttons.
- Riscaldatore a immersione: Provides precise temperature control.
- Pompa di circolazione: Ensures uniform temperature distribution within the bath.
- Montaggio Clamp: Secures the controller to the bath vessel.
- Cavo di alimentazione: Per il collegamento elettrico.
4. Impostazione
- Disimballaggio: Carefully remove the controller from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
- Montaggio: Securely attach the controller to the side of your open bath using the integrated mounting clamp. Ensure the heating element and pump are fully submerged in the bath fluid, but the control head remains above the fluid level.
- Livello del fluido: Fill the open bath with the appropriate heat transfer fluid to a level that covers the heating element and pump, but is below the minimum fill line indicated on the controller (if applicable) and well below the control head.
- Collegamento elettrico: Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet matching the voltage specifications on the product label (120V, 60Hz).
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
5.1. Accensione/spegnimento
- To power on, ensure the unit is properly connected and press the ENERGIA button (location may vary, typically on the control head). The display will illuminate.
- Per spegnere, tenere premuto il pulsante ENERGIA pulsante finché il display non si spegne.
5.2. Impostazione della temperatura
- With the unit powered on, the display typically shows the current bath temperature.
- Premere il tasto IMPOSTATO button (or equivalent) to enter temperature setting mode. The setpoint temperature will flash.
- Utilizzare il UP E GIÙ pulsanti freccia per regolare il punto di regolazione della temperatura desiderata.
- Premere IMPOSTATO again to confirm the new setpoint. The unit will begin heating or cooling to reach the target temperature.
5.3. Circulation Control
The circulation pump typically operates continuously when the unit is powered on to ensure uniform temperature. Refer to the specific model's advanced settings for pump speed adjustments if available.
6. Manutenzione
- Pulizia: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the exterior of the control head with a damp cloth. For the immersed parts, periodically remove the unit from the bath and clean any residue from the heating element and pump impeller. Use mild detergents if necessary, and rinse thoroughly with distilled water.
- Sostituzione dei fluidi: Regularly inspect the bath fluid for contamination or degradation. Replace the fluid as recommended by the fluid manufacturer or as needed to maintain optimal performance.
- Magazzinaggio: When not in use for extended periods, clean the unit, drain all fluids, and store in a dry, dust-free environment.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| L'unità non si accende. | No power supply; damaged power cord; internal fuse. | Check power connection and outlet. Inspect power cord. Contact service if fuse replacement is suspected. |
| Temperature not stable or incorrect. | Insufficient fluid level; contaminated fluid; sensor issue; external drafts. | Ensure proper fluid level. Replace fluid if contaminated. Minimize external temperature fluctuations. Contact service if sensor is faulty. |
