The standby indicator light will illuminate
when the unit is plugged in. The unit will be in standby mode. Press the standby
button to activate the speed and time functions. The standby indicator light will shut
off and the speed display and time display will illuminate. Press the standby button
again and the unit will once again be in standby mode.
B. Speed display:
Displays the speed of the stirrer.
C.
Up/down arrows for set-point
control. On/off button starts/stops stir function.
D.
The speed indicator light will be

The Digital Multi-Position Stirrers have been designed for the speed and time
functions to work independently of one another. The speed can be re-set without
re-setting the timer and the timer can be stopped and started without interrupting the
stirring function.
1.
Getting ready:
a. Plug the power cord into a properly ground outlet. The standby indicator light
will illuminate, verifying power to the unit.
b. Place a stir bar into each vessel to be stirred.
c. Place the vessel(s), with contents, onto the center of each stirring position on
the top plate. This is important for stirring because the stir bar will be well within the
magnetic field.
d. Press the standby button to move the unit from standby mode. The standby
indicator light will turn off and the speed/time displays will illuminate and display
the previously used settings.
2.
Setting speed:
a. Press the up/down arrows below the speed display until you reach the desired
speed. When you release the arrow button, the display will blink off and then
on indicating the new set speed has been accepted.
b. Press the on/off button to start the stirring function. The indicator light below
the speed display will illuminate to indicate the stirring function is in-use and
will remain lit until stirring has ceased. The microprocessor controlled ramping
feature slowly increases speed until the set-point is reached which helps to avoid
splashing and provides excellent low end control. The microprocessor also
regulates the stirring speed, sensing your requirements whether stirring an
aqueous, viscous or semi-solid solution.
c. Speed adjustments can be made without interrupting stirring by using the up/down
arrows below the speed display. After the change has been made and you
release the arrow button, the display will blink off and then on indicating the
new set speed has been accepted.
d. To stop the stirring function, press the on/off button below the speed display.
