StirBaseTM: Operation and Instruction Manual Warranty and Product Maintenance
Limited Warranty
The StirBase TM and controller are warranted against defects in materials and
workmanship when used in accordance with applicable instructions, for a period
of one year from the date of shipment. This warranty extends to parts, labor, and
any approved transportation charges. This warranty applies only to damage or
failure caused by normal laboratory use. The warranty is limited to product repair.
If Environmental Express, Inc. is unable to repair the StirBase
TM , the customer
may, at his or her option, receive a replacement unit or a full refund. Operating
the StirBase
TM controller inside a fume hood (thus causing corrosion) will void the
warranty.

Fuse Replacement
The StirBase TM motor is powered by a Multi-Drive™ Solid State DC Motor speed
controller, which is manufactured by KB Electronics, Inc. The controller is powered
by 115/230 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Please refer to the KB Control Installation and
Operating Instructions (see attached document) before operating the controller.
The controller contains two fuses to protect against over-current. The first one is
an AC in-line fuse for the speed controller located on the right rear of the circuit-
board. The other is a DC output fuse on the controller, located on the left rear of
the circuit board. The AC in-line fuse should be a FAST-ACTING 250V ABC 10A fuse
while the DC out-line fuse should be a SLOBLO 250V MDL 5A fuse. A set of spare
fuses is located in a bag taped to the inside cover of the controller. To access,
remove the two screws located on the top cover and lift the cover.
Use of the SC168 Stir Bars from Environmental Express is recommended for both
the 50mL and 100mL style HotBlocks
TM on this product.
Disassembling the StirBase TM will void any and all warranties whether written or
implied.
