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 temper-
ature control unit may only be operated, serviced and maintained by per-
sonnel 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 ac-
cordance 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
regulations 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 man-
ufacturers 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
noted as extra equipment. The corresponding additional documents are
included 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 Tem-
perature Control Unit 90smart/150smart 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 heat transfer fluid of the Temperature Control
Unit 90smart/150smart are shown in the following table (in this regard,
see also the chapter "Technical Data" in the Maintenance section).
Temperature Control
90smart 150smart

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 should be kept near the de-
vice/system and always be accessible to operating and maintenance personnel.
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 60 °C). The
pump and the control system are then switched off!
Check that the pump is no longer running and that the system pressure gauge
reads 0 bar (display on the screen reads 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 consum-
er. Descaling can be carried out using the Regloplas REG de-
scaling unit (see the "Regloplas Temperature Control Technolo-
gy" 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 temper-
ature-resistant hoses and screw fittings. The cross-section of the con-
necting lines may not be reduced (see Maintenance section).
The connecting lines must be routed so that they are protected
against unintentional contact. Thermal expansion must be taken
into account in pipe joints
When connecting to 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 with-
in the range of 2-6 bar
Cooling water outlet - must prevent reverse flow and must be al-
ways open. The hose must be fastened so that any escaping
steam at the start of the cooling procedure does not pose a haz-
ard
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 infor-
mation in the electrical diagram, and check that the power con-
sumption conforms to the value on the rating plate of the temper-
ature 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!

To toggle between set-point values SP1 and SP2, press the F3 button
and select the set-point toggling function. Set-point toggling is only possi-
ble if there is no alarm pending.
Parameter Menu
The parameter menu is activated by pressing the Parameter button. In
this menu, all the parameters can be configured by turning/pressing the
RCD control knob.
Powering Up
Upon switching on the main switch, the message OFF appears in the
display. The RT70 control system is now ready for operation and is
switched on by pressing the ON/OFF button, or by the timer, through a
digital input or an interface.
The display, depending on the programming, shows the set-point and ac-
tual values, as well as information on the operational state of the control
system or the temperature control unit.
Shutdown
The RT70 control system is switched off by pressing the ON/OFF button,
by the timer, via a digital input or an interface.
Depending on the temperature of the heat transfer medium, the shut-
down program runs as follows:
The pump and the control system are switched off. The RT70
control system will then be in standby mode and the message
OFF appears on the display.
The pump continues to run. The unit cools down until the tem-
perature of the heat transfer medium has reached the pro-
grammed coastdown temperature. On reaching this temperature,
the pump and the control system are automatically switched off.
In the case of pressurised water units, the pump then continues
running for a further few seconds in the opposite direction (pres-
sure release). The RT70 control system will then be in standby
mode and the message OFF appears on the display.
Leak-stop operation
The leak-stop operation is activated by pressing the F3 key and selecting
the leak-stop symbol and is only possible if it is supported by the device
type.
The leak stop operation is only possible if water is used as the heat trans-
fer medium and the set-point value is in the vicinity of the value run-on
temperature (0-80 °C). Pressurised water units do not have any leak-stop
operation.
When oil is used as a heat transfer medium, the set-point value must be
within the range 0-250 °C. The heating capacity is then max. 60 %, since
the thermal load of the oil must be kept low owing to the reduced pump
capacity.
The leak-stop operation can be cancelled by pressing the ON/OFF but-
ton. When the ON/OFF button is pressed again (wait until the display
reads OFF), the unit switches back to normal operation.
DANGER
The leak-stop operation is an emergency operation and may only be switched on
or cleared for devices intended for the purpose. A leak-stop operation in the
case of devices not intended for the purpose can cause a fire.
Emptying (option)
The consumer device can be drained using the delivery pump (suction)
or by means of compressed air (blowing out); (setting in the parameter
menu).
NOTE
In the case of pressurised water units, the pressure release valve (Y8) closes at
5 °C above the coastdown temperature (max. 85 °C) and opens at the pro-
grammed coastdown temperature during the cooling process (only devices with
1K/2K).
NOTE
It is strongly recommended that an operator password should be set up when
commissioning the temperature control unit.
Alarm History
If there is no alarm pending, the Alarm Reset button can be used to view
the alarm history.
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.
Alarm Messages
The RT70 control system can display various error messages (warnings
and alarms). Attention must be paid to these error messages without fail.
Otherwise, malfunctions of / damage to the temperature control unit and
production downtimes may result.
Pressing the Alarm Reset button allows you to acknowledge/reset an
alarm (e.g. switching off the horn). Only after the malfunction has been
rectified can the alarm display be cleared by once again pressing the
Alarm Reset button.
The Alarm Reset button also allows manual acknowledgement of the au-
tomatic switchover (toggling) from consumer temperature control (or cas-
cade control) Sn2 to outlet temperature control Sn1 in the event that
sensor Sn2 is defective or removed from the consumer.

Maintenance
WARNING
Before all maintenance procedures, turn off the temperature control unit, press
the main switch and unplug the mains plug!
The temperature control unit may be pressurised - Danger of injury in the event
of escaping hot water or steam!
Check that the system pressure gauge is displaying the value 0 bar.
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.
All computers, data media, credit cards, electronic watches etc. must be kept at
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 by suction or blowing out
2) Clean the filters in the circuit
3) Inspect the cooler for scale deposits and clean using the REG
Descaling Unit if necessary
4) Level control - remove and clean the level switches. Important -
reinstall level switch correctly (NO marking must be on top, see
Maintenance section)
5) Dismantle solenoid valves (see Maintenance section), inspect di-
aphragms for scale deposits and damage. Check the core and
spring bolt for free movement. Clean or replace parts if neces-
sary
6) Inspect pump for corrosion and replace if necessary
7) It is also advisable to inspect the consumers for contamination.
Impurities lead to a sharp reduction in heat exchange between
consumer and heat transfer medium. Deposits increase the
pressure drop in the consumer, so that, over time, the pump ca-
pacity of the temperature control unit is no longer sufficient to
handle the necessary heating or cooling load
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!
For fast, error-free supply of spares, we need the following data without
fail:
Device type
Device number
Voltage and frequency
This information is given on the rating plate on the temperature control
unit.
The item numbers of the components can be found in the corresponding
drawings in these operating instructions and the electrical circuit dia-
grams of the temperature control unit.
CAUTION
Only authentic (OEM) Regloplas spare parts may be used!
In case of damage from the use of non-OEM parts, the warranty will be rendered
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) Switch on the temperature control unit - press the main switch
and press the ON/OFF button
2) Set the set-point value on the controller to 0 °C
3) Check that the cooler solenoid valve (Y6) is open
4) Blow out the cooler with compressed air (max. 6 bar)
5) Switch off the temperature control unit with the ON/OFF button,
and then press the main switch and unplug the mains plug
6) Do not tip the temperature control unit - heat transfer medium
remaining in the unit could spill out
7) Use the original packaging and mark the top side clearly
Disposal
The temperature control unit must be drained completely and disposed of
in accordance with local regulations.
The temperature control unit can also be returned to Regloplas AG, Swit-
zerland, for disposal.
