The unit turns back to normal state once the proper liquid level in the tank is reached.
Note: the buzzer can be stopped by pressing any key.
START UP/SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES
Before starting the unit, double-check all electrical and plumbing connections.
Open the top panel of the water tank, remove its cap, and fill it with water by using a funnel.
For H50 series, it is better to exhaust the air in the pump before the first use, just put the supply tube in a container, switch on the unit for few seconds and leave air and water flowing out.
By placing up the switch of the unit, the controller will flash, and the unit will start.
By placing down the switch of the unit, the unit will shut down.
NOTE: To turn on the unit at once after the shut-down, wait for 10 seconds before proceeding.
PRESSURE REGULATION VALVE OF SMART H150
The Pressure Relief Valve is used to adjust the unit’s fluid flow/pressure.
NOTE: The valve is factory pre-set for the most common applications and normally requires no further adjustment. It is factory pre-set in order not to exceed 60 Psi (4.0Bar).
Before adjusting the valve, turn the unit off. Locate the circular regulation valve opening on the rear of the unit.
Turn the threaded stem fully counterclockwise.
If the unit is not connected to the instrument to be cooled, install a loop of hose equipped with a shut-off valve between the supply and return fittings.
Turn the unit on.
Use the pressure gauge to see the regulation valve setting.
Turn the threaded stem valve clockwise. Continue until the gauge indicates 60 psi (4Bar) or the desired setting.
NOTE: the regulation valve may drip if the threaded stem is backed out too much.

Preventive Maintenance

RESERVOIR CLEANING
Periodically inspect the fluid inside the reservoir. If cleaning is necessary, flush the reservoir with a cleaning fluid compatible with the circulating system and the cooling fluid.
The cooling fluid should be replaced periodically. Replacement frequency depends on the operating environment and running time.
Before changing the cooling fluid ensure that it is at a safe handling temperature.
When fittings must be changed or the chiller is not used for a long period, be sure to drain all liquid out of the unit.
Shut down the unit at first, then put a cup on the ground and disconnect the fitting from the instrument cooled.
Then let the fluid in the tank flow out into the cup and disconnect the fitting on the chiller. Before positioning the unit in the storage be sure the drain tap is closed.
CONDENSER CLEANING
For proper operation, the unit needs to pull a substantial amount of air through a condenser. A build-up of dust or debris on the fins of the condenser will lead to a loss of cooling capacity.
The lower front of the unit has a one-piece grid assembly. Gently remove it using hands. Use care not to scratch the paint.
Periodic vacuuming of the condenser fins is necessary. The cleaning frequency depends on the operating environment. After the initial installation we recommend a monthly visual inspection of the condenser. After  several months the cleaning frequency will be established.
Use care when cleaning the condenser fins as they can easily bend.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
If the water circuit of the unit is equipped with a filter system, please change the filter cartridge periodically.

Check the instrument being cooled for restrictions in the cooling line.
Check the pump strainer.
Check the pressure gauge, adjust the relief valve as necessary.
INADEQUATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Verify the setpoint.
If the temperature continues to rise, make sure the heat load of the instrument to be cooled does not exceed the rated specification.
Make sure the air intake and discharge are not impeded and the ambient temperature does not exceed +35℃.
Make sure the condenser is free of dust and debris.
LEAKAGE
Due to vapor contained in the atmosphere, condensation may occur outside the tubes when the temperature of the refrigeration system is lower than the ambient: specially when the humidity of the atmosphere is  high, while the set point is lower, the condensation will be more evident. To avoid such results, a dehumidifier should be used, or the temperature set higher.
