If you do not want to reverse the direction of rotation, lock the rotation direction
key (15) to position SPIN.
The yellow LED display in the rotation direction key (15) will not light up.

Power adaptation:



CAUTION

At high speeds of the magnetic stirring, too high power setting can lead
to overheating of the stirred material.

High

stirring power for large stirring volumes, high rotation speed, viscous

mediums, and when several stirring drives are driven simultaneously,

Low

stirring power for small stirring volumes, low rotation speed, mediums

resembling water, and when there is a requirement for heating the standing
surface, or heat emission in the incubator.

Set the desired stirring power with the stirring power control button (16).

Take care to note the turning motion of the stirring device (1). It should turn evenly
and smoothly without jerking.

Manual stop and stirring restart:

Hold down the start/stop key (13).
The rotation speed will be slowly reduced to zero.

Release the start/stop key (13).
The rotation speed will be slowly increased to the preselected rotation speed.

If you want to terminate the stirring process:

Switch off the control unit (9) using the power ON/OFF switch (18).
