Safety Regulations

The plug disconnects the instrument. Therefore, place the instrument where it can be quickly disconnected.
Place the power supply in the way to avoid liquid spills directly on it.
The stirred solution may release toxic, dangerous or poisonous gases. Adequate safety measures must be taken, in accordance with the safety regulations in force, including the presence of hood and personal protective equipment (masks, gloves, goggles, etc.).
Position the instrument on a flat surface, with a distance from the wall of 30 cm (at least).
It is responsibility of the user appropriately decontaminate the instrument in case of dangerous substances fall on or in it. It is also responsibility of the user to use safety substances for cleaning or decontaminating, which do not react with internal parts of the instrument or with the material contained in it. In case of doubts on the compatibility of a cleaning solution, contact the manufacturer or local distributor.
Do not use with explosive and dangerous materials for which the equipment is not designed. The stirrer must not be used in explosive atmospheres, in bain- marie and to stir combustible liquids that have a low combustion temperature. The minimum fire point of flammable solution is 200 °C. Only small amounts (< 50 ml) of flammable liquid can be used with the device.
In case of black-out, once the power is back the device will restart automatically.

Introduction

AMI is specially designed for titrations, and particularly for those in which optimum lighting condition are needed in order to see the final point of colour change well. This magnetic stirrer is illuminated.
The lighted stirrer plate is particularly recommended for titrations that have weak colour changes during conversion. By the switch it’s possible turn on the lighted stirrer plate. The stirrer stays cold even after several days of continuous use. This feature makes it highly appreciated in microbiology and biochemistry.
NOTE: it is advisable to choose the most suitable magnetic stir bar in relation to the quantity and characteristics of the liquid and the type of vessel used. The stirring bar which satisfies most application is code A00001056 (6x35mm).

Assembly and installation

Upon receipt and after having removed the packaging, please check the integrity of the instrument. The box includes:

• Magnetic stirrer AMI
• Switching power supply 100 – 240 V/12 V
• Instruction manual

2.1 Electrical connection
After having unpacked the instrument, place the unit on the laboratory bench.
Before connecting the instrument to the power supply, make sure that the values on the rating plate correspond to those of the power supply. Connect the unit to the power supply using the transformer supplied.
Ensure that the socket and the relative cut-off device conform to current safety norms and easy to reach.
2.2 Start-up
Rotate the speed knob completely to the left. Place the flask containing the sample and a suitable magnetic stirring bar on the stirring plate. Then, set the speed by turning the speed knob.

Operating controls

Turn the stirring speed knob on the front panel in order to start the stirring function. The Stirrer Led shows when the stirring is running. The instrument is equipped with a hole in the bottom through which it’s possible to modify the illumination brightness using a flat screw driver.

Maintenance

No routine or extraordinary maintenance is necessary apart from periodically cleaning the unit as described in this manual. In compliance with the product guarantee law, repairs to our units must be carried out in our factory, unless previously agreed otherwise with local distributors. The instrument must be transported in its original packaging and any indications present on the original packaging must be followed (e.g. palletized).
It is the responsibility of the user, to properly decontaminate the unit in case of hazardous substances remaining on the surface or interior of the device. If in doubt about the compatibility of a cleaning or decontamination product, contact the manufacturer or distributor.
4.1 Cleaning
Disconnect the unit from the power supply and use a cloth dampened with an non-inflammable non-aggressive detergent.
