accidents.

Always wear proper protective gear (such as goggles, gloves, masks or an

apron) when using this instrument.

Never install or use this instrument in explosive atmospheres.

Never use the instrument to heat flammable liquids.

Never install this instrument near to hazardous or flammable substances.

Never immerse this instrument in water or operate it under water

Never reach for this instrument if it has fallen into water.

Check electrical requirements described in this operation manual or on the

ID plate of this instrument before use. Connect this instrument to a

dedicated power outlet nearby.

Make sure to connect this instrument only to properly grounded power

outlets to protect you and your instrument. Do not ground to gas

pipes or water pipes.

Do not install this instrument closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to a wall of

combustible material. And observe the minimum distances (in general,

30 cm) from other devices.

If you observe a strange smoke, odor or noise from the instrument, unplug

the power cord immediately and turn off the main power switch. After

the smoke or odor disappears, contact your dealer or Thermo Scientific

Section 1

Section title

Ignoring the following cautions could cause injuries or property damages..

Do not touch the top plate or any object near it even when the heater is

turned off. You may get burned due to residual heat.

After using this equipment, make sure to turn off the main power switch

and also to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet for the

safety of other users.

Do not place heavy objects, including this equipment, on top of the

power cord and do not strip, scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the

power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

Do not allow moisture or water to get into the instrument. Fire or electri-

cal shock may result.

Beware of the effects of the magnetic field generated by this instrument.

Magnetic field can affect certain devices such as cardiac pacemaker, data

storage media, and so on.

Make sure to set up your instrument on a flat, stable, clean, non-slip, dry,

and fireproof surface inside a lab with proper safety measures.

Do not place any device which can be affected by the motor vibrations

near this equipment.

Do not touch the power outlet, power socket, or power cord with wet

hands. And make sure to connect the power cord directly and firmly to

the power outlet and power socket.

Do not put or insert any objects (especially if conductive or flammable)

inside this equipment.

Beware that mechanical shock or vibration can damage this equipment

and pay extra attention while moving it. Damages caused by mechanical

shock or vibration may result in injury or fire.

Do not impact the heat sink. You can damage the equipment or get

injured.

Do not install this equipment near any device that generates high fre-

quency noise such as high frequency welding machines, high frequency

sewing machines, or SCR power controllers.

Before cleaning, make sure to unplug the power cord to avoid electric

shock or fire.

Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, abrasives, ammonia,

or metal scouring pads. Wipe with a soft damped cloth or a sponge

soaked in water or diluted neutral detergent.

Section 2

General Description

Performance Features

• Virtually No Decoupling of Stir Bars - By adopting a special magnet

with exceptionally strong magnetic coupling power as well as smooth-

start stirring mechanism, you will experience virtually no decoupling of

magnetic stir bars even with viscous media or at high speeds.

• Quick Heat Up Time - High heat transfer rate of the tightly integrated

structure of heater and ceramic-coated aluminum alloy top plate allows

quick heat up (up to 350°C).

• Fast and precise stirring speed - Fast and precise stirring speed (up to

2,000 rpm) even at high temperatures is made possible thanks to the

combination of a powerful and precise brushless DC (BLDC) motor

and a special magnet with extremely strong magnetic coupling power.

• Big Stirring Capacity - The BLDC motor and the special magnet also

provide big stirring capacity (up to 20 liter in case of water).

• Constant Stirring Speed - The feedback control design of this

instrument allows you to have constant stirring speed even when the

viscosity of the media changes during operation.

• Instant Halt of the Stirring Operation - Due to the exceptionally fast

response characteristics of the BLDC motor, the stirring operation

stops instantly when the stirrer is turned off.

Safety Features

• High Temperature Safety Limit of the Heating Plate - The default

setting of the temperature limit of the heating plate is 350°C to protect

you and your media.

• Multiple Overheat Prevention Measures - Built-in overheat prevention

circuit will turn off the heater if the top plate temperature reaches

450°C for any reason. In addition, if the temperature of the main body

exceeds 85°C, the overheat prevention circuit stops heating to protect

the motor and the PCB.

• Hot Top Warning Indicator - The top plate temperature can remain

very hot for some time even after the heater is turned off. To prevent

injury or fire under such circumstances, this instrument has a hot top

warning indicator on the control panel. This indicator will illuminate if

the top plate temperature is over 50°C. Even so, do not rely on this

indicator alone for your safety.

Features

Safety Features (continued)

• Heating Bath (Patent Pending) (optional) - A specially designed non-

slip heating bath shown below is available as an option. To prevent

unintentional slips of the bath during operation, this bath has concavo-

convex bottom shown below so that it fits snugly on top of the top

plate.

• Transparent Shield (optional) - A transparent shield is also available to

allow you to monitor your operations more safely by shielding you

against decoupled stir bars or liquid splashes.

• Two large digital displays show top plate temperature, heating level,

stirring speed as well as the set time and the remaining time for the

timer operation.

• When setting the timer, stirring time and heating time can be set

independently or even together, if needed.

• With two separate knobs for heat and speed control, you can set

heating level and/or stirring speed fast and with ease.

• You can easily set your own temperature limit at any value between 50

and 350°C.

• Up to two support rods (optional) can be attached to hold various

kinds of devices such as temperature sensors, thermometers, laboratory

glassware, and so on.
