Chiller shuts down
Ensure button wasn't accidently pressed.
Ensure the optional GFCI breaker located on the rear of the chiller is
in the up position.
For ThermoFlex900 - 10000 chillers ensure the circuit protector is in
the on ( I ) position.
Check the controller for error codes, see Error Codes in this Section.
The chiller is designed to shut down if not properly primed.
If able, pre-ll the process uid lines.
After start up continue adding process uid until the chiller and
uid lines are full.
If you need to pause chiller priming turn the chiller off using the
power button
on the front panel.
Not completely lling the chiller and process uid lines
could damage the chiller’s pump.
Make sure supply voltage is connected and matches the chiller's
nameplate rating ±10%.
Restart the chiller.
Chiller vibration
The optional pressure relief valve setting may be the cause. Change the
pressure setting ± 5 psi to eliminate the vibration.
Inadequate pump pressure
Ensure any user installed in-line valves are in the desired position.
Ensure the chiller’s process uid outlet is connected to the application’s
uid inlet and not the application’s uid outlet, see Section 3.
Ensure all connections are secure and that the proper sealant/lubricant
for the tting material is used.
Keep the distance between the chiller and the instrument being cooled
as short as possible.
Ensure tubing is straight and without bends. If diameter reductions are
required, make them at the inlet and outlet of your application, not at
the chiller.
CAUTION

Chiller will not circulate process uid
Check the reservoir level. Fill, if necessary.
Ensure the reservoir bag lter is not clogged.
Check the application for restrictions in the cooling lines.
Chiller requires >3 PSIG application pressure drop. If a bypass valve
has been installed add some restriction to the bypass line.
The pump motor overloaded. The pump's internal overtemperature
overcurrent device will shut off the pump causing the ow to stop. This
can be caused by low uid, debris in system, operating chiller in a high
ambient temperature condition or excessively conned space. Allow
time for the motor to cool down.
Make sure supply voltage matches the chiller's nameplate rating ±10%.
Inadequate temperature control
Verify the setpoint.
If the chiller is over-cooling, recycle the power.
Make sure the condenser/air lter is free of dust and debris.
Check the uid concentration, see Section 3.
Ensure chiller installation complies with site requirements, see Section 3.
Make sure supply voltage matches chiller nameplate rating ±10%.
For ThermoFlex900 - 5000 global voltage chillers ensure the chiller is
properly congured, see Appendix B.
If the temperature continues to rise, make sure your application's heat
load does not exceed the rated specications.
Check for high thermal gradients (e.g., the application load is being
turned on and off or rapidly changing).
Verify/adjust controller PID values, see next page.

Verifying/
Adjusting the
Controller
PID Values
(Tune Loop)
The controller controls temperature using a Proportional-Integral-
Derivative (PID) algorithm. Should your chiller experience temperature
control issues, verifying/adjusting the controller's PID values may correct
the condition.
Note Thermo Fisher recommends that only a qualied technician adjust
the PID values. Incorrect values will hamper chiller performance.
