Machine type designation: RS200 Use according to the intended purpose Retsch vibratory disc mills are used for rapid, loss-free, fine milling of medium-hard, hard/brittle and hard/tough materials. Both dry and wet milling operations can be carried out. Milling with solvents is permitted.
Systems of protection IP40 Protective equipment The RS200 is fitted with an automatic lid shutting device which prevents the machine being started in an unsafe condition. The machine can be started only with the lid closed. The lid can be opened only when the machine is at a standstill.
Transport The RS200 (210 kg) is to be lifted and transported only be the transport screws TS supplied with the machine. (Fig. 2 Fitting the transport screws) Net weight of RS200 approx.
Ensure that the RS200 is also stored dry during intermediate storage. Erection Erect the RS200 on a firm base. Further parameters are given in the section „Technical data”. Net weight of RS200: approx. 210 kg The machine must be locked in position before starting up.
Electrical connection Voltage and frequency for the RS200 are given on the type plate. Ensure that these values correspond to the available power supply system. Connect the RS200 to the power supply system using the supplied connection cable. Protection by external fusing is to be carried out when Fig.
1. Electrical connection without a protective conductor PE is not permissible. 2. The drive of your RS200 is fitted with a frequency converter. To fulfil the EMC directive this is fitted with a line filter and shielded cables to the motor. If your RS200 includes a fault-current...
Connecting the power supply Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your mains supply correspond to the values on the type plate of the RS200. The mains supply must be fused up to at leasts 16A. (Fig. 6 Receiving socket and main switch) Plug the mains cable into the receiving socket Au on the rear side of the equipment.
Emergency unlocking A key for the machine is included in the delivery, with which the RS200 can be manually opened if there is a power failure. (Fig. 9 Emergency unlocking) (I) Insert the (S) key into the (O) opening on the right-hand side.
In the RS200 a Retsch milling set of volumes 50 / 100 / 250 ml and materials special steel / agate / tungsten carbide can be used. Never start the RS200 without the clamped milling set. Mechanical components can become damaged.

Rub the rubber gasket in the clamping plate from time to time with talcum powder and do not leave the milling set in the RS200 after milling. Strongly heated milling sets can stick together with the rubber in the clamping plate and are then very difficult to remove.
Do not use the grinding jar if it has 4 identical 13-mm- diameter boreholes on the bottom. These grinding jars may only be used in RS200 devices that do not have a change index after the serial number. This means that if a change index (e.g. xxxxxxxxx-F) is specified behind your device’s serial number, you may not use the...
