Please comply with the relevant safety
instructions in the "Safety instructions"
section for the RB 1 battery pack!
DANGER
Switching on the instrument
Check whether the voltage given on the type plate corresponds to
the available mains voltage.
The socket used must be earthed (fitted
with earth contact).
If these conditions have been met, the machine is ready for opera-
tion when the mains plug is plugged in.
If these conditions are not met, safe operation is not guaranteed
and the machine could be damaged.
Before the first time to use the EUROSTAR stirrer, fasten the Wireless
Controller (WiCo) to the station with the screw (P, see Fig. 1), so
that the rechargeable battery (RB1 battery pack) in the Wireless
Controller can be charged.
After the device has been switched on at the main switch (A, see
Fig. 1) the device name and software version appear in the display
(C, see Fig. 1) of the Wireless Controller (D, see Fig. 1). After a
few seconds a signal sounds, the last setting of speed is displayed
(mode B). Once the working screen is displayed, the stirrer is ready
for operation.
If the Wireless Controller is switched on and is not attached to the
stirrer (the station), the green LED bar (G, see Fig. 1) and the green
Bluetooth
® LED (F, see Fig. 1) on the stirrer (station) will light up. Make
sure that the speed selected is appropriate for the trial run. If in doubt,
use the rotary knob (B, see Fig. 1) to select the slowest speed. To start
or stop the stirrer function, press the rotary knob (B, see Fig. 1).
The controls of the Wireless Controller can be disabled by pressing
the button (L)
, so that no inadvertent changes are made while
the device is running (the key symbol appears in the display).
Pressing the button (L) a second time enables the controls
again (key symbol disappears from the display).
In emergency the stirrer (station) can be
switched off by pressing the “safe STOP“
button (I, see Fig.1) on the front of the stirrer. In this case the LED
bar (G, see Fig.1) changes color from green to red, and flashes.
A message appears in the display, advising that the EUROSTAR stirrer
(station) has been forcibly switched off. To restart the stirrer, switch
the main switch (A, see Fig. 1) of the EUROSTAR stirrer (station)
OFF and ON.
WARNING
Securing the stirring element using the chuck
Diagram
(see Fig. 4)
Slide the stirring element (M) into the chuck (L). Tighten the chuck
firmly using the chuck key (K).
The stirring element must only be changed when the equipment is
stationary and the power supply is disconnected.
Securing the stirring shaft protector
Diagram
(see Fig. 5)
Use a stirring shaft protector (Q), e.g. R 301, to provide protection
against injury when working with the instrument.
Use the bolts (U) to attach the plastic half-shell pieces to the stirrer
(T), as shown in Fig. 5. The screw (S) can be used to adjust the
length of the stirring shaft protector.
Check that the stirring shaft protector is held in position securely
prior to each use and also at regular intervals. The position of the
stirring shaft protector must only be adjusted when the equipment
is stationary and the power supply is disconnected.
Securing the mixing vessel to the stand
Diagram
(see Fig. 7)
First fix the cross sleeve (H) to the stand (I).
Then attach the bracket (Z) of the strap clamp in the open side of
the cross sleeve which is facing upwards according to the position
of stirrer and the mixing vessel, firmly tighten the two clamping
bolts (G).
Clamp the mixing vessel (V) with the flexible clamping band (W) and
secure the flexible band (W) by means of the clamping lever (X).
Securing the Wireless Controller (WiCo) to the stirrer
Diagram
(see Fig. 1)
Attach the Wireless Controller (WiCo) to the charging contact
provided on the station, and bolt it to the EUROSTAR station
with the screw (P).
Connection of the temperature sensor, USB and RS232
cables to the stirrer
Diagram
(see Fig. 6)
The USB, RS 232 or temperature sensor cable should be
plugged into the appropriate port after the covers have been re-
moved as shown in Fig. 6.
Once the EUROSTAR 60 / 100 control has been connected to
the PC using the USB data cable, it will then transmit information
to the Windows operating system to tell it which device drivers are
required. Windows will then either:
- Load the driver
- Install the driver automatically, if it is not already installed
- Prompt the user to perform a manual installation
