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).
Do not use with explosive and dangerous materials for which the equipment is
not designed. The stirrer must not be used in explosive atmospheres.
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
The MST magnetic stirrer is a small, simple and effective stirrer. Thanks to
the white cover surface it is specially designed for microtitrations, and it
is extremely useful where reliable and small instrument is needed. The stirrer
stays cold even after several days of continuous use. This feature makes it
highly appreciated in microbiology and biochemistry.
NOTE: it’s important to choose the most suitable magnetic stirring bar
related to the quantity and the liquid to be stirred as well as to the type of
the beaker. The magnetic stirring bar that satisfies most of the application
is 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 MST
- Plug for power supply
- Switching VELP 100-240V/12V without plug
- 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 flasks 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.
It is possible to select speeds between 0 and 1100 rpm.
When the led is lighted it means that the stirring is on
