Safety Regulations
The plug disconnects the instrument. Therefore, place the instrument where it can be quickly disconnected.
The values indicated on the rating plate of the instrument must correspond to those of the power supply.
Position the instrument on a flat surface, with a distance from the wall of 30 cm (at least).
Fasten the unit to the support rod (A00000366 or A00000369) using the double clamp (A00001301). Secure the receptacle using the ribbon clamp (A00001302).
Safe working conditions are ensured only when the accessories described in the dedicated chapter are used.
The working speed set on the instrument must be such as to avoid wobbling and/or splashes.
Do not use with explosive or dangerous materials for which the equipment is not designed. The stirrer must not be used in explosive atmospheres, in bain- marie or to stir harmful liquids prior using protective measures according to the safety standards of the processed products and/or in force in the laboratories including personal protective equipment and the presence of an extraction hood which ensures at least 10-fold air change in accordance with the standards EN 14175 and DIN 12924.
It is dangerous to run the unit with the stirring blade turning in free air. Always place the stirring shaft in the receptacle before turning the unit on.
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.
The 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.).
Switch off the the stirring before opening chuck locking ring. Switch off the instrument before removing chuck.

Introduction

OHS overhead stirrers with electronic speed control, brushless motor, and advanced safety features are able to satisfy the most difficult laboratory applications in terms of viscosity and volume. The new chuck ensures higher safety for the operator and allows to use a passing rod of up to 8.5mm in diameter.

Working

Commissioning| ➢ Switch on the instrument through the main switch (J)
➢ Display (A) shows software version, last set point value and OFF (if “Mode” is set on Stop, see chapter 0).
---|---
Stirring| ➢ Set the operating speed range by clicking Gear key (D) (Only OHS 200).
➢ Adjust speed set point by turning the speed control knob (F).
➢ Click the knob to start stirring.
➢ Speed increases until set point achievement.
➢ A microprocessor ensures constant speed even when the viscosity changes (counter-reaction).
➢ Switch off the stirring by clicking the knob.
Timer| ➢ Click Timer key (D or H). HH:MM appears on display.
➢ Rotate speed control knob (F) to set the desired value. Click to confirm.
