Operation
Setup
Once the power cord is connected set the ON/OFF (I/O) switch to the ON (I) position.
Add the contents to vial with appropriately sized stir bar (if required) and insert into the vial
holder. (Note: select the vial holder that corresponds to the correct vial size and ensure that it
is fully seated).
Insert the vial holder into the corresponding reflector and ensure that the vial is still fully seated
and is roughly concentric to the reflector.
With the light shield in the open position, select the desired LED module and insert it into the
base unit, being careful to properly align the connector pins.
Insert the reflector into the LED module by aligning the tabs with the slots and turning the
reflector until it stops.
If temperature monitoring or control is desired, connect a K-type thermocouple to the K-type
connector. Pass the thermocouple through the opening at the rear of the light shield (see
below) and place the distal end within the vial or at the desired location.
Lower the light shield and verify that the interlock is engaged by ensuring that t
he “Interlock”
indicator is green on the touch screen.
NOTE:
Please note that the viscosity of the stirred material will affect the
ability of the stir bar to remain coupled to the rotating magnet.
Materials of high viscosity must be stirred at slower speed settings.
Warning: Magnetic stirring cannot be achieved with all combinations of stir bars, reflectors, vial
holders, and vials. It is recommended that the user select the reflector (8ml or 40ml), which
minimizes the distance from the bottom of the vial to the LED module. The user must determine
the appropriate combination of stir bar, reflector, vial holder and vial to optimize magnetic stirring.
