Preventive Maintenance
Section 6
Only Thermo Fisher should provide any required replacement parts.
The ThermoFlex chiller has an integrated preventive maintenance timer that
can alert you when it is time to perform preventive maintenance. This unique
feature can be set to remind you to change your air and fluid filters.
Based on the environment in which your chiller is located, you can choose
from four levels of preventive maintenance off, L1, L2, and L3:
• off – Disables the alert
• L1 – 1,000 hours - default setting
· Heavy manufacturing environment
· Airborne particulate created during manufacturing process
• L2 – 2,000 hours
· Typical production environment
• L3 – 3,000 hours
· Clean environment – filtered air
· Typically laboratory or research environment
Each time the chiller exceeds the chosen time, the controller will flash Filter
PM and, if enabled, an audible alarm will sound.
Change/set the level using the controller's DIAGNOSTICS menu, see next
page.
To clear this message press
the chiller is restarted. To permanently clear the alarm the filter run time
hours must be reset in the DIAGNOSTICS menu. Also, if you change your
filters before the preventive timer trips, you can clear the timer by using the
DIAGNOSTICS menu.
Note For air-cooled chillers, both the air and fluid filters in the ThermoFlex
can be changed while the chiller is running. For water-cooled chillers, only the
fluid filter can be changed while it is running.
