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 insufficiently 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® recommends 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, directly and without risk at any time.

		If installation or positioning cannot ensure this
	DANGER
		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® application support if you have any question.

•The instrument is not suitable for hand-held 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 in the chuck!

•The instrument can only be disconnected from the mains supply by pulling out the mains plug or the connector plug.

•The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.

•Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).

•The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to the mains voltage.

•Please observe the permitted speed for the stirring element. Never set higher speed.

•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.

		Never operate the instrument with the stirrer
	DANGER
		tools rotating freely. Ensure that parts of the

body, hair, jewelry or items of clothing cannot be trapped by the rotating parts.

	DANGER
		operation!

•There may be electrostatic activity between the medium and 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 fins) and certain parts of the bearing may get very hot during operation.

•Never cover the ventilation slots or cooling fins on the motor or on the instrument.

•Avoid knocking and impacting on the lower end of the shaft and the chuck gear teeth. 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, the chuck 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.

•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.

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).
