Safety instructions
•
Read the operating instructions in full before starting up and
follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where it can be accessed
by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the instrument.
•
Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health and
safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Because the options for combining products, tools, stirring vessel,
experiment and medium are nearly endless, user safety cannot be
ensured simply with design requirements on the part of the product. For this reason, it may become necessary for users to take
other precautionary safety measures. For example, glass device or
other stirring vessels that are sensitive to mechanical stress can be
damaged or shattered by an imbalance, increasing the speed too
quickly or too little distance between the stirring element and the
stirring vessel. Users can suffer serious injury from glass breakage
or from the freely rotating stirring element.
• Uncontrolled reactions can be triggered by mixing the heated material insuciently or by the energy generated by selecting a speed
that is too high. In case of these and other increased operational
hazards, users must take additional appropriate safety precautions
(e.g. shatter protection). In any case, when using critical or hazardous materials in your processes, IKA
tional appropriate measures to ensure safety in the experiment. For
example, users can implement measures that inhibit fire or explosions or comprehensive monitoring equipment. Furthermore, users
must make sure that the OFF switch of the IKA
accessed immediately, directly and without risk at any time.
DANGER
If installation or positioning cannot ensure this
access at all times, an additional EMERGENCY
STOP switch that can be easily accessed must be installed in the
work area.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra
energy produced through processing. This also applies to any extra
energy produced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
• Do not operate the instrument in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under water.
• Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels under a suitable
fume hood. Please contact IKA
any question.
• The instrument is not suitable for manual operation.
• The high torque developed by the EUROSTAR requires particular
care in the choice of stand, cross sleeve and anti-rotation element
for the agitating vessel.
• Set up the stand in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean, non-
slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• You must ensure that the stirring element is securely clamped!
• Use stirring shaft protective equipment!

• Make certain that the unit is set at the lowest speed before commissioning; otherwise, the unit will begin running at the speed set
in last operation. Gradually increase the speed.
•
Pay attention when setting the speed to any imbalance of the stirrer
tools and possible spraying of the medium to be stirred.
DANGER
Never operate the instrument with the stirrer
tools rotating freely. Ensure that parts of the
body, hair, jewelry or items of clothing cannot be trapped by the
rotating parts.
DANGER
DANGER
The operation of a free rotating shaft end is dangerous.
Wear your personal protective equipment in
accordance with the hazard category of the
medium to be processed, otherwise there is a risk of:
- splashing of liquids
- projectile parts
-
body parts, hair, clothing and jewelry getting caught.
DANGER
Beware of the risk of:
- flammable materials
-
glass breakage as a result of mechanical shaking power.
DANGER

the output shaft which could cause a direct danger.
• After an interruption in the power supply or a mechanical interruption
during a stirring process, the unit does not restart automatically.
• It is important to note that the surfaces of the motor (cooling ns)
and certain parts of the bearing may get very hot during operation.
• Never cover the ventilation slots or cooling ns on the motor or on
the instrument.
• Avoid knocking and impacting on the lower end of the shaft. Even minor, invisible damage can lead to imbalance and uneven shaft action.
• Ensure that the stand does not start to move.
•
Imbalance of the output shaft and in particular the stirring tools can
lead to uncontrolled resonant vibrational behavior of the instrument
and the whole assembly. Glass apparatus and stirrer containers can
be damaged or shattered by this. It can cause injury to the operator,
also can damage the rotating stirring tool. In this case exchange the
stirring tool for one without imbalance or remedy the cause of the
imbalance.
If there is still imbalance, return it to the dealer or the
manufacturer along with a description of the fault.
• If the instrument is operated too long in overload or if the ambient
temperature is too high, the instrument switches off permanently.

Drive
The rotary knob (B, see Fig. 1) of the Wireless Controller (WiCo) allows the speed of the stirrer to be adjusted over the entire speed range.
Motor protection
The stirring instrument is suitable for continuous operation. The motor
current is limited electronically. The instrument has an anti-stall and
anti-overload system.
Speed – normal operation
Speed - regulated (no variation in speed)
The speed is monitored and regulated by processor controlled. The target speed is constantly compared with the actual rotation speed value
of the output shaft and variations corrected. This guarantees a constant
speed even if the viscosity of the substance being stirred changes.
Speed – overload operation
In order to overcome peaks in the load such as arise when a solid
or viscous medium is added, the stirrer can be run for a brief period at twice its rated power. When running in the overload range
(for instance if the viscosity has increased at a particular stage of the
process) the speed will be reduced to a degree sucient to keep the
torque on the stirrer shaft within the rated torque of the device.
The speed is continually adjusted whilst the stirrer is running to correspond to the operating conditions and so that it matches the set
speed as closely as possible.
If a fault occurs, a safety circuit immediately switches off the motor
permanently through a relay in the power board. A fault occurs if the
safe functioning of the instrument is compromised.
Fluctuations in mains voltage within the permitted tolerance range
have no effect on the quality of regulation and constancy of speed.
The speed is set using the front knob (B, see Fig. 1). During normal
operations the speed value on the display (C, see Fig. 1) corresponds
to the speed of the output shaft in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Overload status 1:
The device is already running within the overload range, whereby
the actual speed does not match the set speed. This condition is
maintained as long as neither the motor current nor the temperature
exceeds their permissible limit value. This is indicated by the torque
value flashing in the display.
Once the load reduces to a value within the normal range again, the
torque value ceases to flash.
Overload status 2:
If the device is subjected to a fluctuating load which causes the
torque to be more than double the normal torque, the actual speed
of the stirrer shaft is quickly reduced to zero.
Message in the display: Error 4 (see “Error codes” section).
Output shaft
The output shaft has cone seat specially for precision shaft. Stirring elements can be screw-connected on the precision shaft (see Fig. 4).
DANGER
Please see section “Safety instructions“!
Speed display
The speed is set using the rotary knob (B, see Fig.1) on the front of the Wireless Controller (WiCo).
The speed is displayed directly in revolutions per minute (rpm) in the display (C, see Fig.1) of the WiCo.
Commissioning
Assemble the overhead stirrer and all necessary accessories on a stable, even, non-slip surface. The EUROSTAR overhead stirrer must be
secured to a stable stand (e.g. R 2722 or R 2723) with a cross-sleeve
(e.g. R 270). The stirring vessel must always be securely fixed for
safety reasons. You must also ensure that the mounting device (stand)
is set up in such a way that it is not liable to topple and does not start
to move during the stirring procedure.
Accessories must be assembled according to the
instructions (Fig. 2 to
Fig. 7).
If above conditions are met, the instrument
is ready for operation after plugging in the
mains plug.
