Using The Rotary Suspension Mixer
Choosing a Suitable Vessel
-
The Rotary Suspension Mixer should only be used with vessels that are sealed with an appropriate cap to prevent spillage
whilst in use.
Connecting Power
CAUTION
A surge protected power outlet is strongly recommended as it provides some protection for the equipment in areas of poor
electrical quality as well as providing some protection against lightning strikes. The equipment should be operated on a good,
reliable supply of power at all times.
Note: The Rotary Suspension Mixer should not be operated on the same electrical circuit as other high voltage household
appliances such as fridges, clothes dryers, washing machines or other continuous operation high voltage devices. These types
of devices can create power fluctuations that are undesirable for electrically sensitive equipment. Consult your workplace
administrator or electrical maintenance staff if you are unsure.
IMPORTANT: Use of an incorrect power supply will void the product warranty and waive all manufacturer liability for
any and all damage caused by such use. If you are unsure about the rating of your power supply, consult your
workplace administrator or electrical maintenance staff to determine if your power supply is suitable for use with this
product before connecting the power supply.
CAUTION
Regularly check the mains power supply condition over the life of the product, and do not operate the equipment if you suspect
there is damage to any part of the equipment or the mains power supply.
-
Insert the plug end of the mains power supply lead firmly into a properly rated, wall mounted power supply outlet.
-
Insert the lead end of the power supply into the socket on the rear of the mixer.
If there are double-adapters or oversized DC power packs causing obstruction of the mains power supply plug, these should
first be removed.
-
Ensuring your hands are dry, switch on the power on the mains power supply outlet.
Adjusting The Mixing Control
The Rotary Suspension Mixer features adjustable mixing speed control to deliver gentle agitation through to vigorous mixing.
To change the mixing speed
-
Slowly turn the speed control knob (element 2 in Figure 1) clockwise to increase the speed, or anti-clockwise to decrease
the speed.
-
The speed may be adjusted during mixing to achieve the desired level of mixing inside the vessel.
Note: The mixing action can be altered by adjusting the angle at which the disc is held.
