TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all safety & usage information provided in this manual LD carefully before using the device.

1. Da not place any steel or magnetic material an the base plate except the recommended magnetic stirring bar with a beaker or flask in between. Doing this can affect the magnetism of the device.

2. Place the device an a flat, stable, clean, non-slippery and fire-proof surface.

3. The base plate must be cleaned before re-use. Use a soft cloth to clean.

4. Da not try to mix liquid more that 800 ml with 25 mm magnetic stirring bar. lt may lead to improper mixing.

5. Wear protective equipment in accordance with the hazardous category of the media to be processed. Otherwise there is a risk from:
    Splashing and evaporation of liquids.
    Ejection of parts.
    Release of toxic or combustible gases.

6. Da not lift or hold the device from the power cable.

7. Da not use a damaged beaker, flask, stirring bar or any other component for operation. lt may affect the efficiency of the device.

8. Reduce the speed:
    lf the medium splashes out of the vessel.
    lf the appliance is not running smoothly.
    lf the container moves an the base plate.

9. Wear protective gloves while cleaning the device.

10. Do not tauch the base plate immediately after operation. The base plate may get warm after continuous usage.

11. Process pathogenic materials only in a closed vessel under a suitable extractor hood. Do not operate the appliance in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under water.

12. Only use liquid for mixing that will not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy produced in other ways.
    Examples include : Light irradiation, surrounding temperature etc.

13. Abrasion of the dispersion equipment or the rotating accessories can get into the medium you are working on.

14. Chemical reaction of PTFE can occur when in contact with malten or dissolved alkaline earth metals, as weil as with fine powders of metals from the 2nd and 3rd group of the period table at temperatures above 300-400 °C. Only elementary fluorine, chorine trifluoride and alkaline metals do attack PTFE. Halogen hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.

15. The temperature of the stirring media in the beaker and beaker itself should not be more than 45° C.

16. The equipment will not restart, both in case of power supply interruption and in the case of any fault or mechanical interruption. Care should be taken based on the sample used for mixing.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

• Plug off the Machine while cleaning
• Wear protective gloves while cleaning the machine
• Wipe the exterior of machine with a Damp cloth

INSTALLATION & OPERATION

This magnetic stirrer is provided in a packaged box. Open the box, remove the packaging and gently place the device on the firm and leveled surface. Take care while unpacking and do not pull the AC power adaptor as it is attached with the device. The user manual should be kept near the device. Please keep all packaging in safe storage for at least two years for warranty purpose. Below table shows the function of user interface buttons.

indicate. Long press button to activate time mode. “t” will show on display.
| increment| Press button to increase speed/time value.
| Decrement| Press button to decrease speed/time value.

1. Connect the AC power adaptor to the main power supply.

2. Fill the beaker, flask or vessel with the medium or liquids to be processed then place the magnetic stirring bar in the beaker, flask or vessel.

3. Place the beaker, flask or vessel an the center of the base plate.

4. Turn an the electromagnetic stirrer by pressing ON/OFF button.

5. Set the speed at which the medium or liquids need to be processed.
   Minimum speed is 15 RPM and maximum speed is 1500 RPM.

6. Set the time if required. Minimum time is 1 minute & maximum time is 99 minutes. By default time is always infinite.

SPEED SETTING

• Press increment (+) & decrement (-) button to modify & set speed value.
• Single press increment (+) or decrement (-) button to increase or decrease the speed value by 50 RPM an each press.
• Continuous press increment (+) or decrement (-) button to increase or decrease the speed value at a faster pace.
• Speed value is seen in the digital display and is set after 3 blinks.
• At any point of time, users can modify the speed using increment (+) or decrement (-) button.
• On every restart, the stirrer will start with the last run speed.

TIME SETTING

The default timer is set as infinite when the stirrer starts. In order to set time, do the following:

• Long press the “PULSE/TIME” button to activate time mode. By default the timer will be infinite and will be seen as ” tJ[” in display.
• Once activated, single press increment (+) or decrement (-) button to increase or decrease time value by 1 minute on each press.
• Once activated, continuous press increment (+) or decrement (-) button to increase or decrease time value as faster pace.
• After modifying, wait for 3 blinks to set time. Timer is countdown timer and it will take effect once it reaches set RPM.
• Speed can be modified at any point after you have set the time. Speed and time are both independent factors, hence the modified speed will not affect the set time. The set speed and time will be displayed alternatively when speed reaches the set RPM.
• When the timer goes to zero (O), the stirring stops. The display will show “t 00” & “0000” indicating time for stirring is over.
• Press any button except the power button to start the stirring operation with the last run speed and time.
  Note: Timer will be set to default (infinite) once the magnetic stirrer is restarted.

PULSE MODE

In pulse mode, the stirring direction will be reversed every 30 seconds.
In order to select the pulse mode single press the pulse button. First set the required speed & then single press the pulse button to start the stirring process in pulse mode. LED adjacent to pulse button will blink te indicate activation of the pulse mode.

You can also set a time for Pulse Mode. Ta da so, set speed and also time, then single press the pulse button to start stirring in pulse mode. Pulse stirring mode ends when time goes to zero (0).
Press the ON/OFF button again to stop the ongoing operation as well as to switch the electromagnetic stirrer off.
After every restart (ON/OFF), the stirrer will start operating at the last run speed & infinite time.

NOTE: In case of slippage, first turn OFF and turn ON again. lf slippage still occurs, then reduce the speed for efficient operation.
