Fluids; Refrigerant; Battery (Battery Pack Rb 1 For Wico) - IKA RC 5 control Operating Instructions Manual

Fluids:

Only use the fluids, which fulfill the
CAUTION
requirements for safety, health and
device compatibility� Be aware of
the chemical hazards that may be associated with the
bath fluid used� Observe all safety warning for the fluids�
• Depending on the bath fluid used and the type of opera-
tion or toxic can arise� Ensure suitable extraction�
• Do not use any fluid which may cause dangerous reac-
tions during processing�
• Only use recommended bath fluid� Only use non-acid
and non corroding fluid�
Never operate the device without

sufficient refrigeration carrier flu-
id! Check the fluid level detection
at a regular basis (see the section "Filling and draining")�
• Continuous monitoring of the bath and the filling level of
the bath fluid is required�
• To ensure a sufficient fluid circulation, the viscosity of
the bath fluid must not exceed of 50 mm
est operating temperature�
• Untreated tap water is not recommended� It is recom-
mended to use distilled water or high purity water (ion
exchangers) and add 0,1 g soda (sodium carbonate
Na CO ) /liter, to reduce corrosive properties�

• Keep the battery pack out of reach of children at all times�
• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place�
• Never throw the battery pack into a fire� Keep it away from
direct sunlight and temperatures above 60 °C� High tem-
peratures will damage the battery pack and render it unus-
able� Temperatures above 100 °C may cause it to explode�
• Never throw the battery pack into water or expose it to
moisture� Water may lead to a short-circuit, causing the
battery pack to explode�
• Do not deform or crush the battery pack or damage it
in any other way� This can cause battery fluid to leak
and/or the battery pack to explode�
• When not in use, keep battery packs away from pa-
perclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects which could cause the contacts to be bridged�
Short-circuiting may result in an explosion�
• Explosion of a battery pack may release battery fluid and
cause a fire�
• The lithium polymer battery pack must only be used and
charged in IKA products designed for use with this bat-
tery pack�
• When the battery pack is inserted it should slide in easily
and without resistance� Do not force it�
• If the battery pack is removed for an extended period of
time, store it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent short-circu-
iting due to moisture or contact with metal components�
• The operating temperature range of the battery pack is
from 0 °C to + 45 °C� Note that the battery pack capac-
ity will be reduced at temperatures below 20 °C�
• Only the rechargeable battery types recommended in the
technical data may be used in the device!
