Correct Use; Unpacking; Motor Protection, Safety Devices - IKA EUROSTAR digital Operating Instructions Manual

• Protect the appliance and accessories from bumps and
impacts.
• The appliance may heat up when in use. The device may be-
come very hot in case of malfunction.
• The appliance may only be opened by experts.
• Adjust the speed of the motor on your test rig so that that it
is not possible for any contact to occur between the contai-
ner and the stirring tool (to avoid breaking the glass).
• Ensure that the motion of the stirring tool is smooth and uni-
form (no imbalance).
• Warning: For safety reasons, the device may switch off
under full load, with 10% over-voltage, and at 40 °C ambient
temperature.
• In order to restart the device following a malfunction, it must
switched off for a short time and allowed to cool down befo-
re being switched on again.
• The motor speed should be reduced following a malfunc-
tion.
• Never operate the eqipment with hte stirrer tools rotating
freely. Pay attention when setting the speed to any imbalan-
ce of the stirrer tools and possible spraying of the medium to
be stirred.
• Please use stirring shaft protective equipment!
• Operating with a freely rotating shaft end is dangerous.
Therefor for safety reasons the stirrer tool is permitted to project
over the upper edge of the housing only when the appliance is
not running.
• For correct operation, the rubber diaphragm must always be
completely closed.
• Take care to ensure that the shaft never runs directly in the
rubber diaphragm and any friction with rotating parts (stirrer
shafts) is excluded.
• Please pay attention to the dangerous parts of the equipment
marked in Figure 16.

Correct use

The EUROSTAR series overhead stirrers are suitable for use
with various stirring tools for stirring and mixing fluids with low
and high viscosities.
They are designed for use in the laboratory. For correct use the
appliance must be fixed to a stand.

Motor protection; safety devices
The motor current is electronically limited. The appliance has
an anti-stall and anti-overload system. If a fault occurs, a safety
circuit immediately switches off the motor permanently via a
relay. A fault is registered if the safe functioning of the appli-
ance is compromised. A fault is always indicated by illuminati-
on of the yellow signal light (C) at th front.
