Start-Up Start-Up Setting up device Warning: Magnetic field! The magnetic field beneath the hotplate could cause irritations with cardiac pacemaker if you get too close. Personnel with a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or dosing pump should keep a minimum distance of 10 cm (4 inches) to the device.
The ON/OFF switch is situated on the right side of the device beneath the control panel. Switch device on ➜ Press ON/OFF switch on the right side. ✓ The device is switched on. MR Hei-Standard ✓ The green operating indicator lights MR Hei-Tec, MR Hei-Connect ✓ The display switches on and shows the actual parameters.
Operation Operation Place vessels Caution: Risk of breakage and spillage If the stirring bars start rotation suddenly at high speed or the vessels are not placed securely vessels might break or they may slip off and spill the sample. Prior to start heating and mixing ensure that all vessels are placed with sample and stirring bars and that they are securely placed.
Speed can be set between 100 rpm - 1,400 rpm. ➜ Place vessel with sample and stirring bar on hotplate. ➜ Turn item on with ON/OFF switch. MR Hei-Standard Speed control knob ✓ Operating indicator light is on. ➜ Set speed with speed control knob.
Due to differences in heat conductivity of various materials of vessels and sample the temperature of hotplate should be set 1½ to 4 times higher than the desired sample temperature. MR Hei-Standard ✓ Heating button is switched off. Temperature control knob: set temperature ➜...
Operation MR Hei-Tec, MR Hei-Connect ✓ Actual temperature is shown in the Temperature setting: framed display. ➜ Choose temperature setting with select knob. ✓ Temperature setting is marked with a frame. ➜ Press select knob within 3 seconds. ➜ Set required temperature by turning select knob.
Operation MR Hei-Standard Temperature control knob ✓ In addition to heating button, the control light for heating up will illuminate. ✓ Control light will be illuminated as long as set temperature is not reached. ✓ When set temperature is reached the control light for heating up will go out.
Operation External temperature sensor Pt 1000 (optional accessory, see chapter “Accessories and spare parts”) As soon as the external temperature sensor Pt 1000 is connected, temperature will not be measured and controlled at hotplate but directly at sensor. (Connection see chapter “Assembly, Connect temperature sensor Pt 1000”).
