• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
• The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to
the mains voltage.
Beware of hazards due to:
- flammable materials
-
combustible media with a low boiling temperature
- glass vessel breakage
- overfilling of media
- unsafe condition of container.
• The device will automatically restart in mode B and C fol-
lowing any interruption to the power supply
• The equipment is not designed for overpressure use.
• The equipment is designed for operation at vacuum set-
tings up to 25 mbar.
• Certain applications and materials may be hazardous. You
should take precautions to prevent contact with, or inhalation of, toxic liquids, gases, fumes, vapours or powders.
• Risks may also be posed by biological or microbiological
substances.
The reactor system must always
be ventilated when working under
normal pressure in order to prevent
any pressure build-up caused by highly volatile gases or
unpredictable reaction pressure gradients. Condense volatile gases using a cooler with a standard ground connec-
tor (e.g. a reux condenser) on the reactor cover.
• Observe the maximum permissible temperatures (see sec-
tion “Technical data“) in the reactor vessel.
Before you fill the reactor vessel,
ensure that the reagents used do
not corrode the seal.
• Ensure that the external temperature sensor is inserted in
the media to a depth of at least 20 mm.
• Only use IKA® approved accessories!
• Use only original IKA® spare parts!
•
When the reactor vessel or the vessel cover is removed
during operation, the stirring and the heating function
will be switched off automatically. Restart the stirring and
heating function by pressing on knob (A) and (B)
after the
reactor vessel or vessel cover is placed and locked again
(see Fig. 11 and Fig. 12).
Safety instructions
General instructions:
•
Read the operating instructions fully before starting
up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can
be accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the equipment.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational
health and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• 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. In any case, when
using critical or hazardous materials in your processes,
IKA® recommends to use additional appropriate mea-
sures 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 unit switch of the IKA®
product can be accessed immediately, directly and without risk at any time.
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 under a suitable fume
hood. Please contact IKA® application support if you
have any question.
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable,
clean, non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• Protect the instrument and accessories from bumping and
impacting.
•
Check the instrument and accessories beforehand for dam-
age each time when you use them. Do not use damaged
components.
• Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories described in the ”Accessories” section.
• Always switch the device switch in the OFF position or
disconnect the power before changing and fitting any accessories.
• 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.

Cooling:
• Ensure that the thermostat used for tempering is fully efficient. A defective thermostat can cause uncontrolled
reactions.
Using the adequate hoses for cooling
purposes.
Weighing:
Weighing function integrated into
the LR 1000 control feet. Unpack
and set up cautiously.
Maintenance:
• The feet of the equipment must be clean and undamaged.
• The device must only be opened by trained specialists,
even during repair. The device 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.
Covering or parts that are capable of
being removed from the unit with-
out accessory equipment have to be
reattached to the unit for safe operation in order to prevent, for example, the ingress of fluids, foreign matter, etc..
Stirring and dispersing:
• Moving and rotating equipment parts also constitute a
hazard.
Rotating tools are dangerous! The
anchor stirrer and the dispersing el-
ement must only be operated when
the reactor vessel is fully closed. Do not start up the laboratory reactor when it is open.
• If the dispersing element rotate when they are covered in
a product and the reactor is open, this will cause parts or
liquids to be projected outwards.
• Gradually increase the speed.
• The equipment may heat up by stirring.
Heating:
Risk of burns! Exercise caution when
touching the heating block and the
glass vessel. The cover of the vessel could reach high temperature when you boil liquid for
long time. Pay attention to the residual heat after switching off.
Only process and heat up any me-
dia that has a flash point higher
than the adjusted safe temperature
limit that has been set (see section “Technical data“).
The safe temperature limit must always be set to at least
25 °C lower than the fire point of the media used.
• Use:
The IKA® LR 1000 system is a compact reactor system.
It has been designed to simulate and optimize chemical
reaction processes and can also be used for mixing, dispersion and homogenization in modeling processes.
Operating mode: Tabletop device.
• Range of use (indoor use only):
- Laboratories - Schools
- Pharmacies - Universities
Correct use
This equipment is suitable for use in all areas except:
- Residential areas
-
Areas that are connected directly to a low-voltage supply
network that also supplies residential areas.
The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:
- if the instrument is operated with accessories that are not
supplied or recommended by the manufacturer
- if the instrument is operated improperly or contrary to the
manufacturer’s specifications
- if the instrument or the printed circuit board are modified
by third parties.

Connect external cooler:
The reactor can connect an external cooler (e.g. IKA®
RC 2 basic or RC 2 control)
via the connections (13,
14, see Fig. 3) at the back of the device. The cooling con-
nections IN and OUT is labelled accordingly at the back of
the device. There are two connectors included for connecting cooling hoses. They can be connected to a hose with a
10 mm inner diameter. By positioning and light pressure in
the direction of the connector, the connector is locked/connected to the cooling connections IN/OUT on the housing.
The connectors are unlocked by coaxially positioning the
unlocking lever and pressing slightly.

Safety temperature limit
Fig. 10
Potentiometer
The maximum attainable heating temperature is restricted
by an adjustable safety circuit. Once the safety temperature
has been attained, the instrument switches off the heating
function.
The safety temperature must always
be set to at least 25 ºC lower than
the flash point of the fluid used.
Factory setting: max. value
Setting the safety temperature limit
After switching on the instrument, the safety temperature
can be adjusted with screwdriver delivered with the device.
The safety temperature setting will appear on the display.
Do not turn the potentiometer beyond the clockwise or anti-clockwise
stop, since this will damage the po-
tentiometer irreparably.
