Operating of the magnetic stirrer
After the cables have been installed correctly according to
Installation,
connection to the magnetic stirrer
, the magnetic stirrer
MIX 1/6/15/15 eco
will be ready for operation.
4.2 Stirring operation and stirrer control
Turning On and Off
Please press the On/OFF-key (8) once. The magnetic stirrer will be
switched on by that. The current stirring speed will be shown in the
display (10).
By pressing the ON/OFF-key (8) once more, the magnetic stirrer will be
switched off again. The display indicator (10) expires.
SoftStart
After the magnetic stirrer was switched on, the stirring bars in the flasks
will first be caught, afterwards centred in the flask and then – to increase
the operating safety – be smoothly accelerated to the set speed
accurately.
The accelerating phase will be shown by the illumination of a dot at the
right segment of the LED-display (10).
Power adjustment (not available for MIX 15 eco)
A newly developed and extremely efficient magnetic stirrer will come into
operation.
The inductive drive concept causes an operational heat output by the
magnetic stirrer. To reduce the heat output the power of the magnetic
stirrer can be adjusted.
A
high power
setting is necessary to mix viscose media and large
amounts to be stirred in a strong and efficient way.
A
low power
setting guaranties a warming-free long-term use for
example of aqueous probes at room temperature.
The stirring power can be adjusted in four steps by using the MODE-key
(9). By pressing the MINUS-key (11) respectively the PLUS-key (12) just
after pressing the MODE-key, the power can be adjusted between
25/50/75/100%.
The current value is now shown on the display (10). The display (10) will
turn back to the current speed indicator after approx. 5 seconds.
The power adjustment is finished again at the time the speed range is
shown.
The power adjustment can also be finished immediately by pressing the
MODE-key (9) again.
