clean, non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.

• Do not operate the device in explosive atmospheres,
with hazardous substances.

• Protect the device and accessories from bumping and
impacting.

• Check the device and accessories for damage before
each use. Do not use damaged components.

• Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories
described in the ”Accessories” section.

WARNING

• A laboratory circulator heats and circulates fluid accord­ing to specified parameters. This involves hazards due to
high temperatures, fire and general hazards due to the
device of electrical energy. The user is largely protect­ed by the device of relevant standards. Further hazard
sources may arise due to the type of tempering fluid,
e.g. by exceeding or undercutting certain temperature
thresholds or by the breakage of the container and re­action with the heat carrier fluid. It is not possible to
consider all eventualities. They remain largely subject to
the judgment and responsibility of the operator. For this
reason, it may become necessary for user to take other
precautionary safety measures.

• Insucient ventilation may result in the formation of explo­sive mixtures. Only use the device in well ventilated areas.

WARNING

temperature cannot be exceeded even in the event of a
fault. Check the safe temperature circuit on a regular ba­sis (see section “Setting the safety temperature“) .

• Securely fix the
bath, so that it cannot tip over.

• When device is used for external circulation, extra pre­caution must be taken for hot fluid leakage due to dam­aged hose.

• Use suitable hoses for connection.

• Secure hoses and tubes against slippage and avoid kinks.

• Check hoses, tubes and bath at regular intervals for pos­sible material fatigue (cracks/leaks).

• Mains cable should not get in contact with hot parts
and fluids.

• If you are using plastic bath, observe the permitted
working temperature range and fluids.

Commissioning

Check whether the voltage specified on the type plate
matches the mains voltage available.

The power socket used must be
earthed (protective earthing).

If above conditions are met, the device is ready for opera­tion after plugging in the mains plug.
If these conditions are not met, safe operation is not guar­anteed and the device could be damaged.

Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity,
etc.) listed under “Technical Data”.

After switching on the mains switch (2) at the back of the
device or pressing the power key (A), all LED segments

Note: Inappropriate settings may produce the follow­ing heat-up curves:

Kp too high

t

Ti too low

The proportional coecient Kp is the controller ampli­fication and determines how strongly the control devia­tion (the difference between the target temperature and
actual temperature) directly affects the control variable
(on-time of the heater). Kp values that are too large can
lead to the controller overshooting.

Integral time of PID (Ti 1):

The integral time Ti (s) is the correction time and deter­mines how strongly the duration of the control devia­tion affects the control variable. Ti compensates an ex­isting control deviation. A high Ti means a smaller and
slower effect on the control variable. Ti values that are
too small can lead to instability of the controller.

Differential time of PID (Td 1):

The differential time Td (s) is the derivative time and de­termines how strongly the rate of change of the control
deviation affects the control variable. Td compensates
for rapid control deviations. A high Td means a smaller
and slower effect on the control variable. Td values that
are too small can lead to instability of the controller.

Example: 2-point calibration:

Dip the temperature sensor of the reference measuring
instrument into the bath fluid:
Select 2-point calibration in the menu. Press the “OK/
Pump“ button (G) to start the 2-point calibration.

12

Set the first point temperature (e.g. 80 °C). Confirm the
setting by pressing the “OK/Pump“ button (G).

Left area of the display appears the set value (80 °C) and
the right area of the display appears the actual tempera­ture value measured. The set LED (M) flashes briefly.

The unit now starts and controls to the set value. When
the temperature has reached the set value and has be­come constant, the “Set” LED (M) no longer flashes and
the following display appears.

The temperature measured by the unit appears on the
left hand side.

Input the calibration value from the reference mesuring
instrument (e.g. 80.2 °C) with the “Pump (+)“ button
(H) or “Pump (-)“ button (I).

Confirm the value by pressing the “OK/Pump“ button (G).
Back to previous screen for input a new value by press­ing the “Temp“ button (D).

Back OK

The first point calibration is finished now.
Calibration of the other points is performed in the same
way.

Interface and output

The device can be operated in “Remote” mode via the RS 232
interface (10) or the USB interface (11) connected to a PC
and with the laboratory software Labworldsoft

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.
The USB interface can also be used to update firmware.

USB device drivers:

First, download the latest driver for IKA
interface from:
http://www.ika.com/ika/lws/download/usb-driver.zip.
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.

RS 232 interface:

Configuration

- The functions of the interface connections between the

stirrer machine 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 al­location of signal status, standard RS 232 applies in accor­dance with DIN 66 259 Part 1.

devices with USB

- 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 device (Slave).

- The device sends only at the computer’s request. Even
fault indications cannot be sent spontaneously from the
device 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).

13

The NAMUR commands and the additional specific IKA® co mmands serve only as low level commands for communication
between the device and the PC. With a suitable terminal or communications programme these commands can be transmit-

®

ted directly to the circulator equipment. The IKA

software package, Labworldsoft®, provides a convenient tool for control­ling circulating equipment and collecting data under MS Windows, and includes graphical entry features, for pump motor
speed ramps for example.
