Description

PolyScience Model 6305P chiller — shipped with TFX heads and units with “V” (40W) thermal heads from August 1999 on.

• 60 Hz: 11-0564A (Flexo only)
• 50 Hz: 11-0574A (Flexo only)

To replace defective chillers on Trendsetter VLF and Trendsetter VLF AL devices, use a Lytron Heat Exchanger as per ECO CA05236.

Neslab CFT33D chiller: Used until July 1999 (11-0564A-D)

Both of these external chillers are used to send cooling water to the thermal head. The chillers have the following common elements:

• connected to output device with a 3m (10 ft) long water hose assembly and 15 pin signal cable
• fitted with casters so it can be located as required for access to the output device
• must be located to allow adequate airflow through chiller
• temperature controller displays coolant temperature (set to 23° for TFX heads, 30° for all other heads)
