8.4 Maintaining the water circulation
In the case of discontinuous use with tap water
(single measurements with long gaps) a stabiliser
must be added to the water circulation to prevent
the formation of algae.
Add approx. 4 ml IKA
®
-Aqua-Pro C 5003.1 to the
tank (see Accessories).
Switch the pump on via the service menu (sec-
tion “Pump“). Switch the pump off again after
30 - 60 s.
You can also add the 4 ml Aqua-Pro to the water
maintained at a constant temperature in the last
measurement (before long gaps in measuring).
If the appliance is not going to be in opera-
tion for a long period of time, it is advisable
to completely empty the calorimeter's water
circulation.
The water must be drained out before trans-
portation.
Empty the outer vessel via the service menu (sec-
tion 7.2 “Outer vessel“). The emptying hose must
be locked in place in the plug-in coupling  (sec-
tion 4.2).
Empty the tank by locking the emptying hose in
place in the plug-in coupling  (section 4.2). The
tank will empty automatically.
Press the locking knob on the plug-in coupling 
to remove the hose.
