• 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 insuciently 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

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 sucient 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.

Securing

Securing the extension arm to the overhead stirrer

Diagram (see Fig. 2) Ensure that the extension arm is ﬁtted securely. Vibration may cause the screw to become loose. It is therefore necessary for safe use to occasionally check that the extension arm is attached securely. Tighten the hexagonal socket screw as required.

Securing the overhead stirrer to the stand

Diagram (see Fig. 3) First secure the cross sleeve (H) to the stand (I). Then secure the extension arm (J) of the overhead stirrer in the open side of the cross sleeve which is facing upwards. Once you have set the position required for the stirring procedure, ﬁrmly tighten the two clamping bolts (G). Check that the stirrer is held in position ﬁrmly prior to each use and also at regular intervals. The position of the stirrer must only be adjusted when the equipment is stationary and the power supply is disconnected.

Securing a stirring element using the conical attachment

Diagram (see Fig. 4) Slide the R 6000 precision shaft (P) into the conical attachment on the output shaft (N). Tighten the retaining nut (O) using a hook spanner and a single open-end wrench. To ﬁt the stirring element (R), hold the output shaft/precision shaft stationary using a single open-end wrench. The stirring element can be tightened in place with a second single open-end wrench, using the area on the stirring element provided for this purpose. Check that the stirring element is held in position securely prior to each use and also at regular intervals. The stirring element must only be changed when the equipment is stationary and the power supply is disconnected.

Securing the stirring shaft protector

Diagram (see Fig. 5) Use a stirring shaft protector (Q), e.g. R 301, to provide protection against injury when working with the instrument. Use the bolts (U) to attach the plastic half-shell pieces to the stirrer (T), as shown in Fig. 5. The screw (S) can be used to adjust the length of the stirring shaft protector. Check that the stirring shaft protector is held in position securely prior to each use and also at regular intervals. The position of the stirring shaft protector must only be adjusted when the equipment is stationary and the power supply is disconnected.

Securing the mixing vessel to the stand

Diagram (see Fig. 7) First ﬁx the cross sleeve (H) to the stand (I). Then attach the bracket (Z) of the strap clamp in the open side of the cross sleeve which is facing upwards according to the position of stirrer and the mixing vessel, ﬁrmly tighten the two clamping bolts (G). Clamp the mixing vessel (V) with the ﬂexible clamping band (W) and secure the ﬂexible band (W) by means of the clamping lever (X).

Securing the Wireless Controller (WiCo) to the stirrer

Diagram (see Fig. 1) Attach the Wireless Controller (WiCo) to the charging contact provided on the station, and bolt it to the EUROSTAR station with the screw (P).

Connection of the temperature sensor, USB and RS232 cables to the stirrer

Diagram (see Fig. 6) The USB, RS 232 or temperature sensor cable should be plugged into the appropriate port after the covers have been removed as shown in Fig. 6. Once the EUROSTAR 20 high speed control has been connected to the PC using the USB data cable, it will then transmit information to the Windows operating system to tell it which device drivers are required. Windows will then either:

- Load the driver

- Install the driver automatically, if it is not already installed

- Prompt the user to perform a manual installation

Menu (details)

Stirring

Speed Limit:

The ”Speed Limit” menu allows the user to set the desired maximum upper speed limit for the EUROSTAR 20 high speed control stirrer. The initial setting is the maximum permissible speed of the stirrer. If the user changes this setting, the Wireless Controller saves the new value for future stirring tasks. If the “Speed Limit” has been changed, then the speed can be adjusted only within the new range.

Torque Limit:

The ”Torque Limit” menu allows the user to set the desired maxi- mum deliverable torque limit. The initial setting is the maximum permissible torque of the device. If the user changes this setting, the Wireless Controller saves the new value for future stirring tasks. If the “Torque Limit“ has been changed, the stirrer can deliver an operating torque only up to the value speciﬁed as the maximum torque limit.

Note: The torque limit can be overload for about 10 seconds. This is necessary to cater for stirring tasks which require metering and feeding additives.

Intermittent Mode:

Torque Display:

The ”Torque Display” menu allows the user to specify that the torque is shown in the display. A tick shows that the option is activated.

Note: Pressing the "Back" button while the device is running resets the torque to 0 Ncm. The Δ symbol then appears in the display in front of the torque value.

Torque Calibration:

This menu allows the torque to be calibrated. All torque resulting from bearing friction is excluded from the torque calculation. This is performed with no stirrer element attached. A duration of 30 sec. and speed of 50 rpm are set automatically.

Note: Calibration can be performed only when a USB cable is being used. For this, remove the Wireless Controller from the station (see "Interfaces and outputs" section, ﬁgure “Connection capability:

Wireless Controller to the EUROSTAR station“).

Temperature

In the ”Temperature” menu the user can specify that the tempera- ture sensor is displayed on the display/working screen. A tick shows that the option is activated. The precondition for this is that a temperature sensor is connected to the EUROSTAR station. If no tem- perature sensor is connected, or an error is present or the temperature rises above 350 °C, three dashes are shown as the temperature value.

Note:

Please comply with the temperature measurement range of the external temperature sensor speciﬁed in the "Technical data" sec- tion. The temperature display can be in either °C or °F (see the ”Set-

tings“ menu).

Factory setting: continuous mode

Function “Run/Stop“ is activated:

• The run time and stop time can be set separately.

Timer

In the ”Timer” menu the user can specify that the timer is displayed on the display/working screen. A tick shows that the option is activated. This setting allows the user to specify the actual time for the stirring procedure. A default time can also be set for the timer. This setting allows the user to start the stirring task for a standard time. The device stops automatically after expiry of the set time, and the set time used for the stirring procedure appears in the display.

Note:

The user can stop the stirring function before expiry of the set

time. In this case the countdown of the timer is interrupted.

Display

In the “Display“ menu the user can specify what information will be displayed on the main screen.

Note: If the ”Torque”option is activated, by pressing the ”Back“ but- ton the user can reset the current torque to 0 Ncm as a reference value. At the same time the Δ appears in front of the Ncm unit.

Programs

Under menu "Programs", 5 user-deﬁned speed (rpm)-time proﬁles can be created. In addition, the user could deﬁne the intermittent mode is activated or not in the programs. If the intermittent mode is activated, the run time/stop time value from "Intermittent Mode" setting will be taken.

Note: If user need to activate the intermittent mode in one segment of a program, he should set the "Run time/Stop time" in menu option "Interval", meanwhile activate the "Run/Stop" function in menu option "Intermittent Mode" (see section "Stirring"). Once a programs has been selected, the following options are available.

Start: Start the selected program upon request. When the selected program is started by pressing on menu option "Start" with the program control. Press "OK" with
