Learning Control Function (Temp. control by external temperature sensor)
This function adjusts the fluid temperature to the set value with an automatic offset setting. Set the external temperature sensor at the
circulating fluid inlet located just in front of the heat source, which allows the Thermo-con to sample the fluid temperature. This function
is effective when automatically adjusting for heat exhaust from piping, etc. If the external temperature sensor is installed directly on the
heat source, the learning control function may not work property due to large heat volume or large temperature difference. Be sure to
install the sensor at the circulating fluid inlet.
Principle of Peltier Device (Thermo-module)

A Peltier device (thermo-module) is a plate type element, inside which P-type semicon-ductors and N-type semiconductors are
located alternately. If direct current is supplied to the Peltier device (thermo-module), heat is transferred inside the device, and one face
generates heat and increases temperature while the other face absorbs heat and decreases temperature. Therefore, changing the
direction of the current supplied to the Peltier device (thermo-module) can achieve heating and cooling operation. This method has a
fast response and can shift quickly between heating and cooling, so temperature can be controlled very precisely.

When to Use Air-Cooled and Water-Cooled Thermo-con
Both air-cooled and water-cooled Thermo-cons are available. Select a proper Thermo-con by
referring to the following.
Air-cooled
• No facility water equipment Can install the unit easily without facility water equipment.
• Frequent piping changes Can reduce the piping installation labor since facility water piping
is not required.
Water-cooled
• Need to avoid effects of ambient Since the unit is water-cooled, the ambient temperature
temperature. will have little effect.
• Want to reduce the installation space. Can reduce the space since the unit is compact.

Without a cooling tower ··············Air-cooled HEC-A series
With a cooling tower ··············Water-cooled HEC-W series
When to Use Air-cooled and Water-cooled Thermo-con

<Air-cooled>
• No facility water equipment Can install the unit easily without facility water equipment.
• Frequent piping changes Can reduce the piping installation labor since facility water piping is not required.
<Water-cooled>
• Need to avoid effects of ambient temperature. Since the unit is water-cooled, the ambient temperature will have
little effect.
• Want to reduce installation space. Can reduce the space since the unit is compact.
2. How much is the temperature in degrees centigrade for the circulating fluid?
Temperature range which can be set with the Thermo-con: 50 to 140°F (10 to 60°C)
If a lower temperature (down to –4°F (–20°C)) or higher temperature (up to 194°F (90°C)) than this range is necessary, select the
Thermo-chiller HRZ series.
3. What kind of the circulating fluids will be used?

Allows a safety factor of 20% over the capacity that is actually required, taking into account the changes in the operating conditions. If a
larger capacity than this Thermo-con is necessary, select the Thermo-cooler HRG series or Thermo-chiller HRZ series.

Caution
1. The set value can be written to EEPROM, but
only up to approx. 1 million times.
In particular, pay attention to how many of times the writing is
performed using the communication function.
Maintenance
Warning
1. Prevention of electric shock and fire
Do not operate the switch with wet hands. Also, do not operate
the Thermo-con with water left on it.
2. Action in the case of error
If any error such as abnormal sounds, smoke, or bad smell
occurs, cut off the power at once, and stop supplying and convey-
ing fluid. Please contact SMC or a sales distributor to repair the
Thermo-con.
3. Regular inspection
Check the following items at least once a month. The inspection
must be done by an operator who has sufficient knowledge and
experience.
a) Check of displayed contents.
b) Check of temperature, vibration and abnormal sounds in the
body of the Thermo-con.
c) Check of the voltage and current of the power supply system.
d) Check for leakage and contamination of the circulating fluid
and intrusion of foreign objects to it, and subsequent replace-
ment of the fluid.
e) Check for flow condition, temperature and filter of radiation air.

Maintenance
Maintenance of this unit is performed only in the form of return to and repair at SMC’s site. As a rule, SMC will not conduct on-site maintenance.
Separately, the following parts have a limited life and need to be replaced before the life ends.
Parts Life Expectation

Description Expected life Possible failure
Pump 3 to 5 years The bearing is worn so the pump fails to transfer the circulating fluid, which results in temperature control failure.
