Thermo Scientific
The circulator can operate with 0 clearance on two exhaust sides as long as
the third exhaust side has unrestricted air flow. Blocked ventilation increases
the circulator's temperature, reduce its cooling capacity and, on refrigerated
baths, eventually lead to premature compressor failure.
The circulator's construction provides protection against the risk
of electrical shock by grounding appropriate metal parts. The
protection will not function unless the power cord is connected to a
properly grounded outlet. It is the user's responsibility to assure a
proper ground connection is provided.
For Sahara baths, and stand-alone immersion circulators, use the
supplied nut and washer to secure the grounding strap to the top of
the metal tank. See previous page.
The circulator is intended for use on a dedicated outlet. All circulators are
equipped with automatic thermally-triggered 20 Amp circuit protector.
The circuit protector is designed to protect the circulator.
Note If the circuit protector activates allow the circulator to cool before
resetting. Restart the circulator. Contact us if it activates again.
The circulator's power cord is the disconnecting device, it must be
easily accessible at all times.
Refer to the nameplate on the rear, upper-left-hand corner of the bath
for specific electrical requirements. Voltage deviations of ± 10% are
permissible. The outlet must be rated as suitable for the total power
consumption, see next page.
