LABEC BOB2 - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
Congratulations on the choice of an Australian made quality product. Labec products are
manufactured, tested and calibrated to meet published standard specifications under our strict
quality assurance guidelines.
This Instruction Manual is for the guidance of operators of Labec Oil Baths and should be read
before the bath is connected to the electricity supply.
It is hoped that this manual will supply all the information that the customer should require for
satisfactory operation of the bath. If, however, there are any questions that remain unanswered then
the customer should contact our Service Department.
Unpacking
Remove all packing and protective wrapping from both interior and exterior of the bath. Check the
bath for the possible transit damage. Ensure all ordered accessories are present. If any physical
damage or shortages are evident, do not discard the packaging material until the bath is inspected
by the distributor, agent or manufacturer.
NOTE: All claims for shortage or damage must be made within fourteen days (14) from
delivery.
Subject to our standard published conditions of sale, we have reasonable grounds to believe that we
have ensured, so far as is reasonably practical, that the products listed in our catalogue and
brochures have been designed and constructed so as to be safe and without risk to health when
properly installed and used in their environment by appropriate and trained personnel, and where
applicable, in accordance with our published instructions.
Installation
Electrical
This equipment must be tagged and tested according to AS/NZS3760:2010 prior to use and
thereafter on a regular basis dependent upon the environment.
It is preferable to locate the bath close to a power point and recommended that double adaptors are
not used. Check the total wattage if connecting to multi­point outlets. Check the rating plate for
power requirements. Installation is to be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
power requirements of the product specifications.
Location
Select a location free from draught and away from direct sunlight or other heat source.
Temperature Control
LABEC Oil baths are fitted with a digital temperature controller as per Appendix A, connected to the
element. The bath has been stringently tested before shipment to ensure all is in working order.
Description of Controls
Adjust the temperature controller as per Appendix A. An orange heater light will illuminate when
power is being supplied to the elements.
