XR-SERIES SITE & ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
a) Rack mounting – Secure the XR-Series product in the rack unit. Ensure that all fixings are secured and torqued to the correct level. 4 x M6 bolts are enough to secure the unit to the rack, however, it is advisable to install additional support to carry the weight of the product at the rear of the rack. This may be the ‘left-to-right’ type, taking the weight across the back-lower edge, or the ‘front-to-back’ type, taking the weight along both bottom-left and bottom-right edges.
b) Clean, dust-free environment – the XR-Series units use an internal axial frame fan to provide airflow for cooling the pump motor. Do not block these vents The system will shut down in the event the motor overtemperature trip is triggered
c) Non-condensing ambient temperature – +5°C to +40°C (+39°F to +104°F). This prevents build-up of moisture on internal components.
d) Humidity - 80% for ambient temperatures up to +31°C (+88°F), decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at +40°C (+104°F) ambient temperature.
e) Electrical supply – The XR-Series can accept;
a. Voltage fluctuations of ±10% of the nominal voltage range.
b. Frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
c. Maximum current draw of 4.5A@230VAC; mains fusing is rated 6.3A, accessible from rear.
i. See product rating label for fuse specification.
ii. Two modes of supply are acceptable; L1 / N / E or L1 / L2 / E
iii. The inlet module itself is rated 10A 250V.
iv. Protective earth must be provided by user at IEC type C14 appliance inlet.
f) Clearance – the rack form factor limits clearance considerations to the rear face of the unit. Ensure there is sufficient room at the rear of the product to remove the power cable without obstruction. Ensure bend radius of your chosen hose/tube/pipework is not compromised. The front face has no vents. Left and right side clearance is dictated by the rack cabinet.
g) Plumbing – tubing, piping or hose must be clean and compatible with the fluid to be used. The chiller is compatible with deionized water and water-glycol mixtures such as Hexid fluid.
h) Indoor use only – altitude up to 2000m
i) Installation category – transient overvoltage category II; Pollution degree 2. Temporary overvoltages occurring on mains supply are acceptable within limits defined in the aforementioned categories.
Caution; Always use ATC recommended fluids in your chiller – many other anti-freeze mixtures have the potential to corrode your application and to damage seals in the chiller.

Having ensured that your installation meets all site requirements, it is best practice that the fluid lines between your application and the chiller have the following characteristics;
a) Short in length – this reduces friction-based pressure drop and addition ambient heat load
b) Large diameter bore – at least 12mm (1/2”).
c) Free from 90° bends – to limit the effects of water hammer. If this cannot be avoided, sharp changes of direction should be minimized so far as possible. Doing this correctly can yield higher pump performance and extend time between maintenance intervals. It will also reduce electrical energy consumption.
d) Clean – If your installation is to existing pipe work, it is good practice to flush the system with either a commercially available central heating cleaner or 5% acetic acid solution. The system should be flushed clean with tap water to remove all traces of cleaner prior to filling the system. Failing this, it is recommended to use a domestic bleach in solution with tap water, diluted to the point where the bleach can longer be smelled by human nose.
e) Opaque, ideally black – to inhibit light passing through the tube and algae building up. Alternatively, solid ABS or copper pipe can be used where application chemistry allows.
Caution; Never use transparent tubing. UV light will pass through, prompting growth of organic contamination.
The XR-Series is supplied with 1/2” British Standard Pipe Parallel Female (BSPPF) threads (also known as G threads (ISO228)) by default, for both application/process and house/primary water supply. These fittings are not valved and will ‘drop’ the volume of the system if left open to atmosphere.
Ensure the appropriate thread sealants are used in the fitting of adapters to hose. For metallic mating parts, we recommend Loctite 577 For plastic adaptors such as those supplied with the product, we recommend using ~812mm wide PTFE tape, wrapped around the male thread before tightening.
Ensure that the system is correctly connected. The ‘donut’ labels around the ports are clearly marked with inlet and outlet symbols and the function in both English and French languages Ports marked as outlets mean fluid leaves the product and must be connected to the process inlet or house water return line. Check all joints are tight and leak free.
Where this product is incorporated into other equipment, it is the responsibility of the assembler to ensure safety.
Caution; Do not replace detachable mains cords with inadequately rated cords. Contact ATC for appropriately rated products.
Preventing Backfilling – In situations where the chiller is situated physically lower than the application being cooled, fluid will apply pressure to the water circuit of the product. The weakest seal is normally the tank lid, and this is typically where fluid will escape the unit Ideally the XR-Series product will be located higher or level with the product water-line. If this is not possible, a non-return solenoid valve kit can be installed as an optional standard assembly. Please raise any questions with the sales team on sales@app-therm.com.
FILLING A SYSTEM
a) Check all application valves are open, including solenoid valves and variable position valves.
i) The product will require an open water circuit to pump into
ii) Any obstructions can increase the time, or entirely prevent the bleeding of air from the system.
b) Remove the cap from the tank lid on the top of the product.
i) Fill the tank to just underneath the bottom of the filling port.
c) Turn your attention to the main power switch.
i) Immediately after toggling this switch assuming that the power cord is connected and turned on at the wall the product will begin to pump water
ii) Leave the product to run until it cuts out on the level switch interlock.
iii) Turn the unit off at the mains switch.
iv) Fill the tank again to lift the level switches.
v) Start the product again until the unit cuts out again.
Caution; Do not run the pump dry. Do not deadhead the pump.
d) Repeat steps at c) until the chiller tank water level (if visible) doesn’t drop, and the chiller doesn’t cutout on its level switches.
e) With the unit now running;
i) Leave the cap off the tank for >30mins to allow air to escape, or very loosely screwed on to prevent water splashing out of the tank if the unit has a ‘flow through’ design.
f) Check the application and tubing for signs of leaks whilst the chiller is running.
i) Replace the tank lid fully when satisfied the system is full and bled of air.
a) Isolate the unit. Have a suitable bucket or drain on-hand.
i) Remove the tank lid to allow air into the system.
ii) Disconnect hoses individually. Be aware hoses as well as the unit are filled with fluid.
iii) Consider using the red transport plugs to block product ports to give yourself time to empty hoses before continuing to empty the product.
b) Local rules affect where fluid can be disposed of.
i) Ensure hazardous products do not enter the water course and are reclaimed from the unit for professional disposal.

LIMITATION OF SINGLE SWITCHING POINT
In a system with a single level switch, there is only one point the water level must be above in order to have the unit run. As the tank level drains through natural losses, connections/disconnections, etc., the level gets ever closer to the switching point. In a system where the application and hosing are more flexible, poorly bled of air, or a small elevation difference exists, it’s not uncommon to see some liquid return to the tank after the unit is turned off (whether by hand or by interlock). This liquid return (sometimes called drainback) can be enough to re-satisfy the level switch and re-start the product, thus emptying the tank again and shutting down once more. The product then enters a cycle of stopping and starting, detrimental to pump health and the electrics that drive it.
ANTI-BACKFILL LEVEL SWITCH ARRANGEMENT
Products with an anti-backfill level switch system are designed to prevent the product from stopping and starting continuously. A pair of level switches are present in the tank. The first is in the same position as in a single switching point system. Upon filling, this first lower switch becomes satisfied. Upon continued filling, a second switch (the upper, or anti-backfill switch) becomes satisfied. As the unit runs, the level slowly reduces – the upper switch becomes dissatisfied, but the unit doesn’t stop, it keeps going until the lower switch is dissatisfied also preventing the pump from running dry as it shuts down. As fluid reenters the tank from sources outside the product, the bottom level switch is re-made, but fluid volume is insufficient to satisfy the upper level switch Electrically, the system requires the upper level switch to be re-made before starting again.

Operating Manual; Troubleshooting Annex G-7
XR-SERIES GENERIC INITIAL TROUBLSHOOTING
Check the tank is filled past the level of the top-level switch to ensure it can run. Check temperature of fluid and pump motor. In the case of these reaching temperatures that could cause damage the unit will switch off.
Unit not running
Noisy operation
Fluid lines becoming fouled / containing biological matter
Fluid seen leaking from system
Check the fuses to ensure excessive current in-rush has not blown a fuse in the unit. There are two internal fuses for controller and pump motor in addition to the external fuses mounted on the power inlet.
Air in the system the has not purged can cause load pump operation. Usually bearing failure in rotating machinery causes noise – this might be the pump. Pay attention to specific components to identify the source of noise.
Not using opaque tubing can lead to UV light passing through the tubing, prompting growth of organisms.
Not following maintenance schedule for cleaning/flushing.
Your fluid may be incompatible with the materials used in chiller construction. Contact ATC to ensure the fluid is compatible.
Rapid changes in system temperature can cause some materials to change shape at a faster rate than others and open leak paths. Contact ATC to discuss alternative materials and parts in water circuit construction if your temperature range goes beyond the standard for this product range.
Excess application thermal heat load See Annex G-2 for a description on how to calculate this.
Poor cooling capacity (undercooling)
House/primary water temperature has increased from nominal requirement, or flow has reduced
Water regulating valve is not opening correctly or blocked by debris restricting water flow.
A reduction in flow of application water can lead to overcooling. Check for constrictions in the application lines. Review pressure gauge position for values typically seen in normal satisfactory operation.
Excess cooling capacity (overcooling)
Check value that controller presents for outlet liquid temperature. A value reported that is higher than actual will force the controller to cool without need. Water regulating valve could be stuck open, not restricting water flow to prevent over cooling.

CONFLICT MINERALS COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Applied Thermal Control (ATC) adheres to and embraces the ethical values that support our everyday activities. As an expression of these principles and ethical values, ATC adheres to the principle of responsible sourcing of components containing precious and non-precious metals and metal salts in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The metals considered are Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W), Tin (Sn) and Gold (Au). ATC actively sources components from suppliers known to be reputable and could demonstrate compliance upon request with the Conflict Minerals acts and guidelines.
ATC uses Gold and Tin in electrical components, on PCBs and in rotating machinery, as governed by technical requirements of products. These metals could potentially originate from conflict mineral sites. As many of our suppliers do not purchase these metals direct from smelters, both they and ATC must rely heavily on information that will be provided by their suppliers to determine the source and chain of the metals in those products.
ATC is committed to working with its customers and supply chain to meet the customer’s specification and requirements with regards to traceability, sourcing requirements and restrictions. ATC commits that, to the best of our knowledge, our suppliers are complying with the conflict minerals act as stated in their documentation. These statements are reviewed, and updates obtained as required.

WHAT IS THE REACH REGULATION 1907/2006?
REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. REACH places the burden of proof on companies. To comply with the regulation, companies must identify and manage the risks linked to the substances they manufacture and market in the EU. They have to demonstrate to ECHA how the substance can be safely used, and they must communicate the risk management measures to the users. If the risks cannot be managed, authorities can restrict the use of substances in different ways. In the long run, the most hazardous substances should be substituted with less dangerous ones. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals. It entered into force on 1/JUN/2007.
REACH ‘ARTICLE’ COMPLIANCE
Substances under Annex XVII are restricted either in full (not to be used at all) or for specific uses (can be used in some uses but cannot be used in identified uses).
Applied Thermal Control has contacted all our suppliers and to the best of our knowledge, none of the articles that we sell intentionally contain any of the Annex XVII substances currently on the candidate list in concentrations of >0.1% by weight.
REACH ANNEX XIV COMPLIANCE
Substances under Annex XIV require authorization to use in the EU after sunset date, require communication to downstream recipients when over threshold (0.1% w/w at article level) and require notification to ECHA when SVHC over threshold and imported over 1000kg annually and use not already registered.
Applied Thermal Control has contacted all our suppliers and to the best of our knowledge, none of the articles that we sell intentionally contain any of the Annex XVII substances currently on the candidate list in concentrations of >0.1% by weight.
SVHC LIST COMPLIANCE
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) require communication to downstream recipients when over threshold (0.1% w/w at the article level), notification to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) when SVHC over threshold and when imported over 1000kg annually and use not already registered.
Applied Thermal Control has contacted all our suppliers and to the best of our knowledge, none of the articles that we sell intentionally contain any of the Annex XVII substances currently on the candidate list in concentrations of >0.1% by weight.

WHAT IS THE POPs REGULATION 2019/1021?
POPs stands for persistent organic pollutants. In Europe, the global Stockholm Convention is implemented through POPs legislation. POPs are organic substances that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms and pose a risk to our health and the environment. They can be transported by air, water or migratory species across international borders, reaching regions where they have never been produced or used. International risk management is necessary as no region can manage the risks posed by these substances alone.
The European Parliament (and Council) issued regulation 2019/1021 on 20/JUN/2019, and further amended (regulation 2020/784) on 8/APR/2020

a) For how long is my ATC product warrantied?
ATC provides a comprehensive return to base 2-year parts, 1-year labor warranty from delivery as standard on all new equipment, provided it has been installed and operated in accordance with the manual.
b) Where will ATC fulfill the product warranty?
ATC’s standard warranty terms are Return to Base (RTB) – issues with chillers are often easily solvable over the phone or email, or by reviewing ATC’s technical guidance on the web and in the product manual. On occasion, at the discretion of ATC, goods may be serviced on site FOC or a service loan unit may be supplied. Warranty cover excludes the cost of travel by engineers and loan unit rental charges. Obtaining onsite service for a product, even in full warranty, is a chargeable service.
c) Who is liable for shipping charges in the event of warranty failure?
During the first year of the warranty period, freight costs for shipping to ATC are for the customer’s account. Freight costs for shipping from ATC are for ATC’s account. During the second year of the warranty, freight costs to and from ATC are for the customer’s account
d) I’m experiencing problems with my chiller. It’s within warranty – what do I do next?
Contact ATC to discuss the issue you are having. The contact details in the header of this document are an ideal place to start. Be sure to have your model number and serial number on-hand to aid those attempting to solve remotely.
e) Telephone support couldn’t fix my chiller – what do I do next?
An RMA form must be completed. This allows both the end-user and ATC to clarify your details, to set the party responsible for shipping costs, and to set a different return address if desired. Shipping advice is provided, and the end-user must sign a declaration that states the unit is safe to handle. Return the form by email for fastest response.
f) What happens if my chiller failed outside warranty or requires non-warranty repair work?
A purchase order will be requested to cover an initial inspection – this will only be invoiced if the inspection shows there is no fault. If packaging is required, i.e. a crate, a separate charge will be levied. If the end user prefers ATC to arrange a collection, a shipping charge may be levied.
g) Our process must continue running – can we have a loan unit whilst our chiller is in repair?
ATC hold several standard air-cooled chillers at the factory for the sole purpose of offering for loan – these are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Models up-to 3kW capacity are available.
Recommended spares include all rotating machinery (i.e. motors, fans), all sacrificial elements (i.e. fuses) and parts that users interact with (dials, fittings). Pricing is available from sales@app-therm.com.

SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
5.1. Extinguishing media
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Water spray, foam, dry powder or CO2. Alcohol-resistant foam
5.2 Unsuitable extinguishing Media
High volume water jet. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
5.3 Specific hazards during firefighting
In fire conditions, toxic decomposition products may be formed (see also section 10). In combustion, emits fumes, smoke, carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO). Heating will cause a pressure rise - with severe risk of bursting and explosion, Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water to hot liquids.
5.4. Advice for firefighters
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear personal protective equipment. Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Burning fluids may be extinguished by dilution with water
