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 ves-
sel, 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
mends to use additional 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

product can be accessed immediately, di-
rectly 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

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.
•
The machine must only be opened by trained specialists, even
during repair. The instrument must be unplugged from the power
supply before opening. Live parts inside the instrument may still
be live for some time after unplugging from the power supply.
WARNING

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 antistall and anti-overload system.
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.
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.
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).

Page 7
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.
Output shaft
The clamping chuck and output shaft permit clamping IKA® recommend stirrer tools (see section “Permitted IKA
output shaft is designed as a hollow shaft and the opening on the
top side of the housing is closed with a plastic cover. When the
stirrer cover is opened, it is possible for stirring shaft to be pushed
out over the top edge of the housing at standstill, e.g. during
changing container.

Stirrer tools“).
The
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).
For safety reason, the stirrer cover must be pushed back into the
opening of the housing so that it is properly closed. This is the only
way to ensure that working with the unit is safe and that media
cannot enter the instrument.
DANGER
Please see section “Safety instructions“!

Menu (details)
Stirring
Speed Limit:
The ”Speed Limit” menu allows the user to set the desired maximum upper speed limit for the EUROSTAR 200 / 200 P4 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“).

Interfaces and outputs
The device can be operated in “Remote” mode via an RS 232 or
USB interface using the laboratory software labworldsoft
®
.
The RS 232 interface at the back of the device is fitted with a
9-pole SUB-D port which can be connected to a PC. The pins are
assigned serial signals.
The USB port at the rear of the stirrer is used for the connection
between the PC and the Wireless Controller (WiCo). The Wireless
Controller also has a USB port, located on its right side. It can also
be used to connect to a PC for “remote control“.
Note: Please comply with the system requirements together with the
operating instructions and help section included with the software.
USB interface
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus for connecting the
device to the PC. Equipped with USB devices can be connected to
a PC during operation (hot plugging). Connected devices and their
properties are automatically recognized. Use the USB interface in
conjunction with labworldsoft
®
for operation in “Remote” mode
and also to update the firmware.
Installation
First, download the latest driver for IKA® devices with USB interface from http://www.ika.com/ika/lws/download/usb-driver.zip
and install the driver by running the setup file. Then connect the
®
IKA
device through the USB data cable to the PC. The data communication is via a virtual COM port. Configuration, command
syntax and commands of the virtual COM ports are as described
in RS 232 interface.
Serial interface RS 232 (V24)
Configuration
- The functions of the interface connections between the stirrer ma-
chine and the automation system are chosen from the signals specified in EIA standard RS 232 in accordance with DIN 66 020 Part 1.
- For the electrical characteristics of the interface and the alloca-
tion of signal status, standard RS 232 applies in accordance with
DIN 66 259 Part 1.
- Transmission procedure: asynchronous character transmission in
start-stop mode.
- Type of transmission: full duplex.
- Character format: character representation in accordance with
data format in DIN 66 022 for start-stop mode. 1 start bit; 7
character bits; 1 parity bit (even); 1 stop bit.
- Transmission speed: 9600 bit/s.
- Data flow control: none
- Access procedure: data transfer from the stirrer machine to the
computer takes place only at the computer’s request.
Command syntax and format
The following applies to the command set:
- Commands are generally sent from the computer (Master) to the
stirrer machine (Slave).
- The stirrer machine sends only at the computer’s request. Even
fault indications cannot be sent spontaneously from the stirrer
machine to the computer (automation system).
- Commands are transmitted in capital letters.
- Commands and parameters including successive parameters are
separated by at least one space (Code: hex 0x20).
- Each individual command (incl. parameters and data) and each response are terminated with Blank CR LF (Code: hex 0x20 hex 0x0d
hex 0x20 hex 0x0A) and have a maximum length of 80 characters.
- The decimal separator in a number is a dot (Code: hex 0x2E).
The above details correspond as far as possible to the recommendations of the NAMUR working party (NAMUR recommendations
for the design of electrical plug connections for analogue and
digital signal transmission on individual items of laboratory control
equipment, rev. 1.1).
The NAMUR commands and the additional specific IKA
®
commands serve only as low level commands for communication
between the stirrer machine and the PC. With a suitable terminal
or communications programme these commands can be transmitted directly to the stirrer equipment. The IKA
labworldsoft
®
, provides a convenient tool for controlling stirring
®
software package,
equipment and collecting data under MS Windows, and includes
graphical entry features, for motor speed ramps for example.
