Installing the Magnetic Stirrer and Vortex Breaker
The FTS CharpyCool™ is equipped with a solid-state variable speed-controlled
magnetic stirrer and a vortex breaker to provide more accurate temperature control
and uniformity. To install the magnetic stirrer and vortex breaker:
Remove the packaging washers from the inside of the stainless steel 1.
reservoir and from the bottom of the magnetic stirrer. These washers are
placed on the magnetic components of the unit for shipping purposes only
and are intended to be removed prior to operation.
Place the magnetic stirrer, magnet side down, into the center of the reservoir. 2.
(Pushing the edges of the stirring mechanism beyond the black gasket at the
top of the reservoir may require some force.) As you lower the magnetic
stirrer into place, be careful not to bend or tweak the metal temperature probe
that hangs inside the reservoir.
Note: The screws on top of the magnetic stirrer should not come in contact with the
sides of the bath as you place the magnetic stirrer into the reservoir. If they do, retract
them using your fingers or a screwdriver.
