Battery pack RB 1 (for WiCo):

If during operation the battery pack
RB 1 (rechargeable battery) be-
comes fully discharged, the device

(

Station

) will continue to run or is shut down depending

on the value settings for “Time Out”, “Safe Speed” and
“Safe Temperature”� If the device is set so that it continues
to run when the battery of the

WiCo

is fully discharged,

the only means of switching the

station

off are the “safe

STOP”, “ON/OFF” button and the “Power switch”!

Please note the following safety

instructions for the battery pack

RB 1 (rechargeable battery):

• 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
temperatures will damage the battery pack and render
it unusable� 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�

Don’t use following fluids:

- Untreated tap water
- Acids or bases
- Solutions with halides: chlorides, fluorides, bromides,

iodides or sulfur

-  Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)
-  Solution with chromates or chromium salts
- Glycerine
-  Ferrous water�

When changing the bath fluid, re-
move the remaining water from the
complete system (including hoses

and external devices)� When doing this, also open the
stopper and union nuts caps of the pump outputs and
inputs and blow compressed air through all the pump
outputs and inputs! Beware of the risk of burning due to
delay in boiling!

Fluids:

Beware of the risk of burning due
to delay in boiling!

Only use fluids, which fulfill the re-
quirements for safety, health and
device compatibility� Be aware of

the chemical hazards that may be associated with the bath
fluid used� Observe all safety warnings for the fluids�

• Depending on the bath fluid used and the type of opera-

tion, toxic or flammable vapors can arise� Ensure suitable
extraction�

• Do not use any fluid which may cause dangerous reac-

tions during processing�

• Only use recommended bath fluids� Only use non-acid

and non corroding fluids�

Only process and heat up any fluid
that has a flash point higher than
the adjusted safe temperature limit

that has been set� The safe temperature limit must always
be set to at least 25 ºC lower than the flash point of the
fluid used� Examine regularly the function of the safety
temperature limiter�

Never operate the device without
sufficient heat carrier fluid! Check
the fluid level detection at a regular

basis (see the chapter “Filling and draining”)�

• Continuous monitoring of the bath and the filling level of

the bath fluid is required, especially at high temperatures�

• To ensure a sufficient fluid circulation, the viscosity of the

bath fluid at the lowest operating temperature must not
exceed a value of 50 mm

/s�

If water is used at higher tempera-
ture, there is heavy loss of fluid due
to the evaporation of the steam�

• Untreated tap water is not recommended� It is recom-

mended to use distilled water or high purity water (ion ex-
changers) and add 0�1 g soda (sodium carbonate Na

)

/liter, to reduce corrosive properties�
