Range of Application
This general safety information is generally valid for all temperature con-
trollers and control systems from Regloplas.
Intended Use
The Regloplas temperature control unit is built according to the current
state of the art and the generally accepted principles of safety engineer-
ing. The temperature control unit is intended solely for normal use in the
heating and/or cooling of injection moulds and die casting dies, extruders,
calenders, mixers and other energy-consuming loads ("consumers") in
areas where there is no risk of explosion.
Any use beyond this shall be deemed to constitute improper use. The
manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from improper use;
the user is solely responsible for such risks. The temperature control unit
may not be used under operating conditions and/or with media deviating
from our specifications without the prior consent of Regloplas AG.
The intended use also entails compliance with the operating, servicing
and maintenance conditions stipulated by the manufacturer. The tem-
perature control unit may only be operated, serviced and maintained by
personnel that are familiar with these tasks and have been instructed as
to the risks.
Safety Information
General Information
The Regloplas temperature control unit is safe to operate but can cause
danger if it is used incorrectly or for a purpose other than its intended
use. It should be noted that any such incorrect use or non-compliance
with the intended use can cause risks to the life and limb of the operator
or third parties, adverse effects on the equipment and other material as-
sets belonging to the user, and risks to the efficient operation of the
equipment.
Start-up (i.e., commencement of intended use) is prohibited until certifica-
tion that the temperature control unit has been set up and wired in accor-
dance with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). EN 60204-1 (Safety of
Machinery) must also be observed.
These Operating Instructions must be read carefully before switching on
and operating the temperature control unit. The information regarding the
intended use and foreseeable misuse must be observed. Local safety re-
gulations must also be obeyed.
If the temperature control unit is used in combination with products made
by other manufacturers, the notices and safety regulations of these ma-
nufacturers must also be obeyed.
Process Monitoring
In plants in which a malfunction of the temperature control system leads
to endangerment of the operating personnel or destruction of the plant,
an independent process monitor that reliably shuts down the plant must
be used.
Residual Risks
Any unauthorised modifications and changes to the temperature control
unit as well as unauthorised changes to the parameterisation of the con-
trol system are prohibited for reasons of safety.
If the temperature control unit is damaged, it must not remain in use; the
defective part must be replaced or repaired immediately. Only original
Regloplas replacement parts may be used. Damage due to the use of
third-party parts renders any and all warranty claims null and void.
DANGER
The temperature control unit must be disconnected from the electrical power
supply before it is opened (unplug the mains plug and, if fitted, press the main
switch on the temperature control unit). Danger of electric shock!
Any leaks in the temperature control circuit (control unit, connecting lines,
consumers, etc.) must be repaired immediately.
In the case of temperature control units that use oil as the heat transfer
medium, please remember that oil is flammable under certain conditions.
For this reason, the temperature control unit must not be located close to
heat sources. The thermal insulation in the device must always be kept
clean. Insulation that is soaked with thermal oil poses an increased risk of
fire.
Burning thermal oil can be extinguished using an AFFF spray foam fire
extinguisher, a powder fire extinguisher (to be avoided in the case of
dust-sensitive plants, control systems, EDP, etc.) or a CO2 fire extin-
WARNING
NOTE
The operating instructions should be kept near the corresponding de-
vice/system and always be accessible to operating and maintenance personnel.
Additional Documentation
The included documentation is completely correct for the basic versions
of devices. Components that do not belong to the basic hardware are no-
ted as extra equipment. The corresponding additional documents are in-
cluded with special versions of devices. Any additional documents sup-
plement and/or replace the descriptions contained in this documentation,
which are then either invalid or only conditionally valid.
Operating Instructions
General
Introduction
These Operating Instructions contain a detailed description of the
Temperature Control Unit 90smart RT33 as well as important information
for safe operation and optimal maintenance.
The Operating Instructions must be kept near the temperature control
unit and must always be accessible to operating and maintenance per-
sonnel.
Operating Range
The operating range and the heat transfer fluid of the temperature control
unit are shown in the following table (see also the chapter "Technical Da-
ta" in the Maintenance section).
NOTE
The technical data and information for installation, start-up and maintenance of
the temperature control unit can be found in the maintenance section of these
operating instructions. The Operating Instructions must be kept near the de-
vice/system and must always be accessible to operating and maintenance per-
sonnel.
Start-up
WARNING
The temperature control unit may be pressurised - danger of injury in the event
of escaping hot water or steam.
Never start up the temperature control unit without the side panels and hous-
ing.
Never use the temperature control unit in potentially explosive environments
and protect it against sprays and cleaning agents that contain solvents.
Any leaks in the temperature control circuit (temperature control unit, connect-
ing lines, consumers, etc.) must be repaired immediately.
Observe local laws during set-up.
CAUTION
Before detaching connecting lines in the temperature control circuit, the tem-
perature control unit must first be allowed to cool down. The cooling time will
depend on the outlet temperature. The shutdown procedure is initiated by
pressing the ON/OFF button. The pump continues to run. The temperature con-
trol unit cools down until the temperature of the heat transfer medium has
reached the programmed coastdown temperature (factory default 80 ). The
pump and the control system are then switched off.
Check that the pump is no longer running (indicator in the display = OFF).
The corresponding chapters of the Operating Instructions must be read before
starting up the temperature control unit.
Operating Instructions
The Operating Instructions for the temperature control unit must be kept
at all times close at hand for the personnel responsible for start-up and
operation. Please ensure that the operating instructions are read. By do-
ing so, you will avoid unnecessary expense and problems during start-up
as well as production downtime.
Inspection of Consumers
Before installing the connecting lines between consumer and tempera-
ture control unit, the consumer must be subjected to the following inspec-
tions:
• Verify that channels are unobstructed
• Remove residual fluid and dirt with compressed air (foreign ob-
jects such as shavings etc. can damage the pump)
• Rust and scale deposits must be removed because they greatly
interfere with the heat exchange between consumer and heat
transfer medium and increase the pressure drop in the con-
sumer. Descaling can be carried out using the Regloplas REG
descaling unit (see the "Regloplas Temperature Control Tech-
nology" brochure, REG data sheet)
Water Quality
The water used must meet the following requirements to avoid damage
to the cooler of the temperature control unit:
Criterion Requirement
Appearance clear/without sediment
Cloud < 0.5 NTU (very light cloud)
Total hardness < 10 °dH
pH-value 6.5-8.5
Conductivity max. 500 µS/cm
Carbonate hard-
< 5 °dH
ness
Connecting Lines
The connecting lines must consist only of pressure-resistant and tem-
perature-resistant hoses and screw fittings. The cross-section of the con-
necting lines may not be reduced (see maintenance section).
• Outlet and inlet - The connecting lines must be routed so that
they are protected against unintentional contact. Thermal expan-
sion must be taken into account in pipe joints
• Water mains - When connecting to the public water mains, the
applicable laws and safety regulations must be observed (e.g.,
connection of the unit via backflow preventer). The water mains
pressure must be within the range of 2-6 bar
• Water drain - The water drain must prevent reverse flow and
must always be open
• For reasons of safety, the cooling system must always be con-
nected.
• Overflow pipe - The overflow pipe must always be open
CAUTION
When escaping, the temperature of the cooling water can increase to the same
temperature as the heat transfer medium!
Electrical Connections
The temperature control unit may only be connected by a qualified elec-
trician.
• Compare supply voltage and frequency with the information on
the rating plate of the temperature control unit
• Verify the rating of the preliminary fuse according to the informa-
tion in the electrical diagram, and check that the power consump-
tion conforms to the value on the rating plate of the temperature
control unit
• Observe the applicable local laws and safety regulations when
connecting to the mains
Powering Up
After carrying out the checks on the consumer, connecting the hoses and
electrical connections, proceed as follows:
• Open the vent valve on the consumer, and also the shut-off valve
(if fitted)
NOTE
Important - The operating mode switch must be at position +, i.e. pressure
mode!
Suction
The heat carrier is drained out of the consumer by suction, switch posi-
tion A. Cool down device and switch off, turn switch to position - and
switch device on again. Turn switch to position A and hold down until fully
drained (observe maximum expansion volume!)
NOTE
Important - When switching between the operating modes Pressure and Leak
stop mode, the temperature control unit must be switched off at the I/O switch!

Changing Consumer/Decommissioning
Before detaching the connecting lines, it is necessary to verify that the
temperature control unit is turned off and that all circuits are depressur-
ised (see the chapter "Switching off the Temperature Control Unit"). The
temperature control unit must be drained completely and stored in a dry
place at 10-40 °C when not in use. To restart the unit, proceed as in-
structed in the "Start-up" chapter.
Maintenance
WARNING
The temperature control unit must be switched off before carrying out any
maintenance work - press the main switch and disconnect from the mains!
The temperature control unit may still be pressurised - Danger of injury from
escaping hot cooling water or steam!
Before disconnecting the feed lines to the temperature control unit/consumer,
first allow the temperature control unit to cool down!
WARNING
Danger of magnetic fields in the case of feed pumps with magnetic drive!
Persons with pacemakers and surgically implanted metal parts must remain at
a safe distance or should not be required to perform maintenance and repairs
on these pumps!
When assembling the magnetic drive, the motor must be securely retained to
prevent any possibility of fingers being crushed between components due to
the magnetic forces!

a safe distance!
Cleaning
CAUTION
Always allow the temperature control unit to cool down!
Switch off the temperature control unit: press the main switch and unplug from
the mains!
When using a solvent for cleaning - do not blow out the tank and the cooler, but
flush them instead (explosion hazard)!
When using a solvent, the manufacturer's instructions for use must be ob-
served. Solvents are flammable under certain conditions. For this reason,
cleaning must never take place near heat sources!
In the event of unfavourable operating conditions, the procedures listed
below must be carried out correspondingly earlier.
1) Drain the temperature control unit through the discharge port
2) Clean the filters in the circuit
Repairs
CAUTION
Allow the temperature control unit to cool down and, if necessary, drain it be-
fore any repair!
Switch off the temperature control unit: press the main switch and unplug from
the mains!
Disconnect all hose couplings from the temperature control unit!
To carry out repair work quickly and easily, the device can be dismantled
as follows:
1) Remove side cover
2) Remove filter
3) Disconnect the housing from the sub floor using the 4 screws
and pull away backwards via the hydraulic connections. The tank
unit is now free
4) Remove pump and heating
5) Loosen filler cap from the tank using the 4 screws
6) Remove cooler and float switch
Reassemble in reverse order.
CAUTION

null and void!
Transport
CAUTION
Allow the temperature control unit to cool down, turn it off, press the main
switch and unplug the mains plug!
Disconnect all hose couplings from the temperature control unit!
Before shipping, the temperature control unit must be drained through the
discharge port on the delivery pump (see maintenance section). Because
of the danger of freezing (bursting of the cooling pipes) at low tempera-
tures, the cooler must be blown out as follows:
1) Set the set-point value on the control system to 0 °C.
2) Check that the ALM light is on, i.e. that the cooler solenoid valve
(Y6) is open
3) Blow out the cooler with compressed air (max. 6 bar)
4) Do not tip the temperature control unit - heat transfer medium
remaining in the unit could spill out
5) Use the original packaging and mark the top side clearly
