Fluids:
Only use the fluids, which fulfill the
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
2
/s at the low-
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
2
CO
3
) /liter, to reduce corrosive properties.
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.
Battery pack RB 1 (for WiCo):
If during operation the battery
pack RB 1 (rechargeable battery)
becomes fully discharged, the de-
vice (
station
) will continue to run or is shut down depend-
ing on the value settings for “
Time Out
”, “
Safe Speed
”
and “
Safe Temperature
”. If the device is set so that it con-
tinues to run when the battery of the WiCo is fully dis-
charged, the only means of switching the station off are
the “
safe STOP
”, “
ON/OFF
” key and the “
Power switch
”!
Please note the following
safety instructions for the
battery pack RB 1 (recharge-
able 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 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!
Do not charge batteries that have leaked or that
are discolored, deformed or damaged in any
other way.
