Instruction Manual
F20100490 Digital Overhead Stirrer
General Information
Before using the unit, please read the following instruction manual
carefully.
Do not dispose of this equipment as urban waste, in accordance with EEC
directive 2002/96/CE.
This unit must be used for laboratory applications indoor only. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility for any use of the unit that does not
comply with these instructions. If the product is used in a not specified way
by the manufacturer or with not specified accessories, product’s safety may be
compromised.
This unit has been designed and manufactured in compliance with the following
standards:
Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and for
laboratory use
IEC/EN 61010-1 IEC/EN
61010-2-051
Electrical equipment for laboratory use
UL 61010-1
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.61010-1
VELP reserves the right to modify the characteristics of its products with
the aim to constantly improving their quality.
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.

➢ Ensure that the socket provided, with grounding, is compliant with the current safety norms and easy to reach.
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.
