The cause for this relatively high temperature is the self 
heating of the bath due to friction-heat of the pump. The 
insulation  of  the  bath  prevents  this  energy  to  be 
transferred into the environment. This causes a raise of 
temperature in the bath up to 25 .. 30°C depending on the 
environmental temperature and used bath fluid. 
  
For  cooling  the  bath  down  to  lower  temperatures,  tap-
water  is  mostly  used.    Also  a  small  circulator  can  be 
connected to the cooling coil like the Tamson TLC10-3, 
or TLC15. 
 

6.4 

Over-temperature safety 

 
In case of electronic failure the possibility exists that the 
heater  element  is  continuously  switched  on.  This  will 
cause  extreme  temperature  raise.  To  prevent  high 
temperatures  the  bath  is  fitted  with  a  mechanical 
temperature  switch  (thermostat).  This  thermostat  will 
switch-off the bath at a preset temperature in the range 
from 50 tot 270°C. 
 
We advise to adjust the mechanical over temperature to 
approxi 25 C above the bath set point.  
 
This  safety  construction  prevents  for  example  oil  to  be 
heated above flash point which definetly will cause fire or 
prevent  evaporation  of  bath  fluid  due  to  high 
temperatures. 
 
The  thermostat  will  automatically  reset  when  the  bath 
temperature drops approximately 10°C below the pre-set 
temperature. To continue normal operation the bath has 
to be switched-off and on again.

Adjusting 

The 

Mechanical 

Over-

Temperature Protection Thermostat 

 
• 

Turn the over-temperature protection (8, drawing 

2) to its maximum (turn clockwise towards 50°C), 
• 

Heat the bath to its set point, 

• 

Gently turn the over-temperature protection anti-

clockwise,  until  the  over-temperature  protection  is 
activated, and system switches-off, 
• 

Turn 

the 

over-temperature 

protection 

approximately 25°C higher (turn clockwise), 
Switch  the  bath  off  and  on  again.  The  bath  is  ready  to 
operate safely.
