1. INTRODUCTION.
1.1. The Bibby Scientific series of heating mantles has been specifically designed to
provide a comprehensive answer to heating fluids in round bottomed glassware in
the modern laboratory. It combines the traditional Electrothermal heating element
with many new features thus providing the user with several options to meet different
applications.
1.2. Heating control is provided by a built-in solid state energy regulator. Non stirring
mantles can be used with an external controller. (Please contact distributor /
manufacturer for details).
1.3. The enclosures of individual heating mantles EM’s are manufactured from chemical
resistant Polypropylene.
1.4. The products are provided with ventilation slots underneath and around the rim to
ensure a low enclosure surface temperature. The heating element is retained in
thermal Rockwool to create a heating cartridge that facilitates very easy replacement
in the event of any damage. On all EM sizes up to 1 litre a single support clamp is
provided at the rear of the unit. On the 2, 3 and 5 litre models there are three rod
support clamps. The EMV’s and EMX’s have a hole in the base to enable funnels or
bottom outlet flasks to be heated. All EM’s are supplied with support rods and
clamps.
1.5. Bibby Scientific offers a comprehensive range of Mantles, and Controllers. The
Mantles range from the Standard cool-to-touch vented case EM, with element
temperatures between ambient and 450 deg C. The Standard EM Mantle has
Controlled /C, Spill-Proof EMX, V-Shaped EMV, Heating and Stirring EMA with
single or bi-directional stirring options. Capacities for round-bottomed glassware
ranging from 50ml up to 5,000ml, plus funnel options. Replacement heater cartridges
are available.

To prevent a risk of fire or electric shock,
case without authorisation. Only qualified Service personnel should
attempt to repair this product.
Replace fuses only with the type as listed in section, ‘Technical
Specifications and Parts and Accessories’ (See fuse type and rating).
Ensure the Mains Power Supply conforms to rating found on the data
plate located on the back of this product.
Operate this equipment without connection to earth / ground.
Ensure the mains supply voltage is correctly earthed / grounded in
accordance with current area legislation.
3.2. General Safe Operating Practice.
Always follow good laboratory practice when using this
equipment. Give due recognition to your company’s safety and
legislative health & safety procedures and all associated legislation
applicable to your areas of operation. Check laboratory procedures for
substances being heated and ensure all hazards (e.g. explosion,
implosion or the release of toxic or flammable gases) that might arise
have been suitably addressed before proceeding. When heating
certain substances the liberation of hazardous gases may require the
use of a fume cupboard or other means of extraction.
Ensure equipment is used on a clean, dry, non-combustible, solid work
surface with at least 300mm suitable clearance all around from other
equipment.

leave equipment switched on without a charged flask(s).
Page 5 of 28 M6873 Issue 12.7
Do not
Do not
ATTENTION:
-
as the insulation used may obstruct the convection
cooling airways around the rim of the cartridge enclosure and cause
the mantle to overheat.
It is not recommended to leave any heating apparatus unattended
during operation.
Only use Original Equipment manufactures spares and accessories.
Ref Section 10.
Stirring versions of this equipment generate magnet fields. Keep all
metal objects and magnetic data devices (e.g. credit cards) away from
the stirrer unit.
The equipment is not spark, flame or explosion proof and has not been
designed for use in hazardous areas in terms of BSEN 6007914:1997. Keep flammable, low flash point substances away from the
apparatus.
Keep the Mains cord and moulded IEC plug and lead set away
from the heating surface.
thermally insulate the exposed upper section of the vessel(s),
operate or handle any part of the product with wet hands.
With high energy input and certain configurations of glassware in
EMV & EMX products, where the heating contact of the glassware is
relatively small, localised heating and subsequent ‘bumping’ of the fluid
being heated may occur. Application advice should be sought from the
manufacturer.

5. INSTALLATION.
5.1. Electrical safety and installation.
5.1.1. This equipment is designed to be used safely under the following conditions:-
• Indoor use.
• Altitude up to 2000 meters.
• Temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.
• Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C decreasing linearly
to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
• Mains supply voltage fluctuations up to ± 10% of the nominal voltage.
• Transient overvoltages typically present on the mains supply. Overvoltage
category II
• Applicable rated pollution degree 2.
5.1.2. This equipment must be earthed / grounded to a fixed earth / grounded
mains socket outlet. The mains supply is to earthed / grounded in accordance with
current legislation. See Technical Specification for recommended fuse ratings.
5.1.3. Ensure only the correct rated mains input fuses are fitted. (Where applicable
ensure the correct Mains cord and moulded IEC plug and lead set fuse if fitted).
See Technical Information Section 8 of this Instructions book.
5.1.4. Check the voltage on the product data label on this product unit and those of any
accompanying electrical accessory. Ensure the rating conforms to your local
supply.
5.1.5. This product should be connected to a mains supply source which incorporates a
RCD or GFCI device that has a tripping current of 30mA or less. The RCD or GFCI
residual Current Device cuts off power to the equipment immediately it detects a
current leakage fault. For example, cutting off the power when there is an
accidental liquid spillage in a mantle protected with an earth (ground) screen.
5.1.6. Do not install this product or accessories on a surface which may
become flooded.
5.1.7. The unit is supplied with a Mains cord and moulded IEC plug and lead set wired
as follows.
Green / Yellow
5.2. Observation: the surface of the heating element of a mantle cartridge will upon receipt
look slightly discoloured. This discolouration is normal and occurs at the factory during
test when the mantle is first heated up.
5.3. Bibby Scientific controllers, series MC227 / MC228 / MC242 / MC5 and MC810B, can
also be used for external control when the mantle is used in a fume cupboard. NOTE:
External controllers cannot be used for EMA or EMEA products.

Body, by a competent electrician. Failure to do so may result in damage to the product
and in extreme cases be a danger to the end user.
With proper care in operation this equipment has been designed to give many years of
reliable service. Contamination or general misuse will reduce the effective life of this
product and may cause a hazard.
Maintenance for the unit should include:
• Periodic electrical safety testing (an annual test is recommended as the minimum
requirement).
• Regular inspection for damage with particular attention to the mains lead and
plug set.
• Routine cleaning of the equipment should be undertaken using a clean cloth.
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING ANY PART OF THIS
EQUIPMENT.
9.2. Fuse Replacement.
The mains fuse holder is located at rear your product. Refer to Technical specification,
‘Fuse Rating’ for correct fuse type and rating. Turn your product off and disconnect it from
the mains supply.
9.2.1. Heater Cartridge replacement.
Page 19 of 28 M6873 Issue 12.7
Attention. The heater contains insulation material made from
Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), classified as a category 2 carcinogenic
under EU Directive 67/548/EC. Follow the guidelines for working with RCF
as laid down under in the ECFIA Code of Practise. Wear suitable protective
clothing and gloves.

9.3. Spillage and Decontamination.
Spillage:
In the event of spillage or glassware fracture, do not touch the mantle. Disconnect
the product from the mains electrical supply. Allow the product to cool. Wearing
suitable hand protection (giving due consideration to substances that were being
heated) carefully remove any pieces of broken glassware. If decontamination is
necessary, see section below. Otherwise wipe off all excess liquid from the mantle
and surrounding area using an absorbent soft cloth. Drain of any residual fluid
retained in the mantle. In the case of excessive spillage/ flask fracture, invert the
mantle and allow it to drain for minimum of one hour. Then proceed with the
