Introduction
This stirrer is specically designed for professional use in the laboratory and for
use in industry to stir liquids with various properties and applications.
This stirrer uses a high efciency brushless DC motor. The speed is kept constant
with continuous feedback to the motor. When torque demands are outside the
stirrer’s range, integrated electronic overload protection ensures no damage can
occur to the electronics, motor or transmission.
The stirrer is designed for reliability and durability. There are no wear parts
that require user service during the normal life of the stirrer. There are no user
serviceable parts.

Safety Label Legend
CAUTION: Read operating instructions carefully and
in full.
RECYCLE: Recycle in accordance with the waste
electronic & electrical equipment (WEEE) directive.
Safety Instructions
1. All operators must be familiar with the stirrer and read this entire manual.
If the stirrer is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
2. The stirrer must be securely xed to a stable support such as the provided stand. If other stands are used, the unit must be secured such that it
will not fall if tipped.
3. CAUTION: This is not an explosion proof stirrer. Do not use in a highly
ammable or explosive environment.
4. Spinning impellers can cause severe personal injuries. Operators must
use extreme care and good judgment when mixing at any speed.
5. All mixing paddles and impellers must be in good condition with straight
shafts. If the stirrer vibrates at high speeds, check the paddle shaft for
damage, and repair or replace if needed.
6. Extreme care must be taken when mixing chemicals to ensure that no
chemicals are splashed outside the mixing vessel. Care must be taken
when changing to faster mixing speeds.
7. Ensure that the mixing impeller does not contact the containment vessel.
8. Do not operate while standing in water. Keep the unit dry and do not
immerse any part, except the mixing paddle into any liquids. Protect unit
and operator from splashing.
9. Ensure that no loose clothing, jewellery, or hair can become entangled in
any rotating parts. A fast spinning chuck can cause injury to operator.
10. Power can be interrupted to the stirrer by pressing the power button. In
an emergency, disconnect the main power cord.
11. Ensure the power button and mains power cord of the stirrer can be
accessed immediately, directly and without risk at any time, and above
all, in case of fault.
12. The stirrer must be used with supplied power cord. The cord and plug
type are important safety elements. Do not use an inadequately rated
cord and plug. Do not alter plug.

General Operating Instructions
The stirrer must be securely mounted as specied in the installation instructions.
Ensure the mixing shaft and blade are securely attached. The stirrer is now ready
for use to mix liquids.
Button Operation Functions
Power Button - Turns the stirrer motor on and off. When initially
turned on, stirrer will spin at 50 rpm following a 5 second delay.
Increase Button - Increases the speed. If pressed within ve seconds
of the stirrer being turned on it will stir at the last speed before turned
off.
Decrease Button - Decreases the speed. If pressed within ve
seconds of the stirrer being turned on it will stir at 50 rpm.
OL Indicates an overload condition. The load is too great for the stirrer and must
be reduced. To reset stirrer turn power back on.
Safety is built into this stirrer. When it is turned on (Auto Start not enabled) it pauses for 5 seconds before it starts to mix. The last speed used is displayed. The user
has three options.
1. Do nothing. The stirrer will start to stir at 50 rpm after ve seconds.
2. Press the increase button and the stirrer will start to stir at the last speed set
before powered off. This speed is displayed.
3. Press the decrease button and the stirrer will start to stir at 50 rpm.

Introduction
Cet agitateur a été spécialement conçu pour une utilisation professionnelle en
laboratoire et pour une utilisation industrielle standard. Il permet, par une technique
d’agitation, de remuer des liquides aux propriétés et applications diverses et
variées.
L’appareil est équipé d’un moteur à courant continu sans balai à haut rendement.
La vitesse est constamment conservée grâce à une rétroaction permanente du
moteur. Lorsque les exigences de couple sont supérieures à celles de l’agitateur,
une protection électronique intégrée contre les surcharges évite que les
composants électroniques, le moteur et la transmission ne soient endommagés.
L’agitateur a été conçu pour être able et durable. L’appareil ne contient aucune
pièce d’usure et ne nécessite donc aucun entretien. Aucune pièce ne peut être
réparée par l’utilisateur.
