- Installation and setup of an OMTech CW-5200 Chiller.
The concept will be the same for the CW-5202 but you will need to loop a hose from the Inlet 2 to Outlet 2 if you are only running on laser

A word to the wise (from personal experience) if you are going to use tie straps, I would suggest using a couple of smaller ones placed between the barbs on the hose connections. The first time I used a large one and it caused a small gap, that allowed a small continuous trickle of water to leak out. I switched to smaller ones and aligned them between the ridges on the barbed fitting. Make sure that the locking end on the tie straps are not lined up with each other. I would also avoid the standard turn screw hose clamps for the same reason (the small ones will leave a gap as well). In the end I finally went with spring clamps (they look like a circle with rabbit ears, you can get them at an auto parts store) because they give nice even pressure all the way around, and they are easy to put on and take off. Just my two cents worth.
Thank you Paul. I switched mine out to spring clamps and I believe I mentioned them in the video (if I remember correctly). I also have them linked on my website on the recommended accessories page (link below). But as you noted they can be found at local stores as well. Thanks for watching and sharing valuable information with others as well.

Just fired this thing up and noticed that one small tie-strap did not prevent leaks (trickling) from the Omtech back end. Think I will be going your route instead of multiple ties. Will I need to drain in order to reapply the clamps or just cut zip ties and apply, run again?
-Thanks
@@1haggler I wish OMTECH had used slightly larger barbed hose fittings because that's where mine leaked as well (the ones on my OMTECH CW-5200 are just a little bigger). What I did was cut the tie straps first, pinch the hose just behind the chiller fitting and cut it (I wanted a fresh section of hose), then pull off the bit of hose left on the chiller. With the end of the hose held up I slid on two spring clamps and then, still pinching, reconnected the hose. Once I had the spring clamps in place, I did a leak check, guess what.....no leaks! When I did each hose this way, I lost almost no water at all, and the spring clamps make it easy to disconnect the hoses if I need to. Sorry for the long explanation, I don't get out much 🤣.
@@oeadesignworks Your welcome. Your video was much easier to follow than some of the others I've watched. For me, the biggest problem is getting it into set-up mode. It takes me six or seven tries before I can get that "0" to show up, you got it first try. You must have the magic touch.
@@paulabbott9893 appreciate your detailed resolution, I honestly should have just used clamps in 1st place.
Thx 🙏
Thanks for the vid! I couldn't make sense of the instructions that came with the chiller. Really appreciate you showing how to enter settings on the machine.
Glad I could help!
Thanks, it was super helpful, I was able to set up my Vevor DZ5200LS-QX chiller with these exact same instructions.
Glad it worked for you. Thanks for the feedback!
Make sure you distilled water not any other bottle water. Also recommend adding some anti algae to the water.
Both are good suggestions. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Hopefully this will allow me to get my chiller set up after umpteen unsuccessful tries.
Be sure to press and hold the up arrow before pressing and holding the set button to get into the settings
I can’t remember where I had seen it (might have been for PC water cooling) but someone recommended installing a flow indicator to show pumps actually doing their job and not just making noise, which would be easy to overlook in a noisy workspace. Fairly cheap and easy to install and simple to use too. Certainly an easier cost to swallow than a burnt tube!
thank you for pointing this out. Yes this is a good idea as a secondary check in the event your water sensor fails. I have a link to one on the page below

Great instructions. Easy to follow.
thank you! glad it helped!
Thank you very clear, question other than the chiller being powered on. The laser machine is off the whole time correct?
I'm not sure I understand the question? Could you please clarify?
Excelente, gracias 🙏
thank you!
Thank you 🎉
You’re welcome 😊
Great video
How do you remove the air from the system?
When installing the hoses there might be air
Typically, just running the chiller for a little while will work the air bubbles out. Sometimes, you can pinch or tap the hose to help move the bubbles.
@@oeadesignworks So the circuit is not closed?
I mean if there are bubbles they will come back
Or let me put it this way. Where is the return pipe going (inside the chiller)? how does the inner deposit look like with the return pipe?
Hi a very good explanation. I recently got a cw5200 and having some temp issues. Does the length of the water lines affect the cooling ?
If you use the lines that come with the laser, there shouldn't be any issue. I wouldn't recommend making them to long to avoid straining the pump
my button said RST, not RET. this caused me alot of problems. the manual I received was also wrong. hit RET to save the settings I just changed.
maybe its a new style chiller? is it the OMtech brand?
What size tubing do I get?
the tubing should come with your laser if you order an OMtech laser. But if you need to buy tubing I have some linked here
www.oeadesignworks.com/recommendedaccessories
I have the CW 5200 chiller. Would food coloring in the water be detrimental to the system? It would make seeing the water level much easer.
I wouldn't do it. The reason we put distilled water in the chillers is to avoid contaminates. I wouldn't intentionally add something else . Suggest using a flashlight to check your water level instead
🙏🙏🙏
glad you liked it
So we have went through all of the steps you show in this video and our alarm goes off as soon as we turn the chiller on. Any suggestions of what we need to do to get the alarm to turn off.
Have you determined the reason for the alarm? Do you have the right amount of water in your machine?
What size are the barbs on the back of the chiller?
8mm ID tubing should do the trick.
amzn.to/3Pfuiv6
@@oeadesignworks I ended up emailing Omtech and they said it's 10mm. We ended up ordering one and sure enough they were 10mm
Did you use distilled water? Anyone know if that helps keep the water/system stay clean longer?
i do use distilled water. i don't know if it helps the system from getting mold, i know some people use an algae growth inhibitor, but by using distilled you are not putting contaminants found in tap water or likewise into the system.
HI AS I LIVE IN HOT COUNTRY LIKE IN PH IVE EXPERINCE SOME WATER CONDENSER ON TUBE AND HOSES WHAT IS THE RECOMENDED SETTING FOR 35 DEGREES CELCIOS.
I would use the same settings as described in the video as its inportsnt to keep the tube cool. If the chiller can cool it to the set points in the video i would lower the set temp so that it works a little harder to maintain the required temp, but the best option is to get your machine into a climate controlled environment. You can also look into dehumidifiers or fans on the tube to help reduce condensation. But again, the best option is to have the machine in a climate controlled environment
@@oeadesignworks THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY DO ITS THE SAME STILL I HAVE CONDESATION DO I NEED DEHUMIDIFIER CAN I ALSO USED SILICA GEL AND PUT INSIDE THE THE MACHINE ?
@randy sarmiento you can try. But to be honest condensation issues are not something I have any problems with. Mine is in a climate controlled environment so I don't know I can be much help in this scenario
Does the laser have to be on to setup the chiller?
no it does not.
Mine didn’t come with the little tubes, what are they called please?
Are you talking about the hoses that connect the chiller to the laser? They don't come with the chiller but they do come with the OMtech Lasers. If you need new ones though I have a link to them here about midway down the page.

@@oeadesignworks I just bought a laser but I hadn’t set it up lol I was setting up everything else first lol I didn’t realize it was in there 😩😂
@@oeadesignworks thank you!!!
No problem glad u found them
Is your laser on during the reset process?
yes mine is but it doesn't have to be. If you are asking because you plugger your chiller into the laser I would suggest not to use the outlets on the back of the laser.
@@oeadesignworks I just can't get my chiller to stop beeping. It's plugged into a separate extension cord.
@user-fr7wf4rn3f I would try to eliminate the extension cord if possible. But the first question is why is it beeping? Are you seeing an error code? Have you referenced the book? Did you follow the instructions in the video to set it up?
@oeadesignworks yup! I can eliminate the cord. No idea why it's beeping. It's working correctly, water is moving through the laser machine fine. I called them, this morning and they seem to think it's a defective water sensor.
Also, no error code shows on the display--just the temp.
Pressing the up arrow and set doesn’t work for me
Try pressing and holding the up arrow just before pressing and holding the set button
Omg you lost me setting it up after good down the right arrow and the set button
you lost me with your comment. where did u get lost? take one step at a time and pause at each step.
JESUS!
Equalize them audio levels!
right now i'm more worried about providing accurate content than worrying about audio levels. my strength isnt in making the videos. but if you have some suggestion or ideas on ways to help out im all ears!
