IKA MTS 2/4 digital - Manual (Page 10)

Never operate the divice at a ”critical speed”. Either reduce the
speed and agitate at a lesser intensity or pass through the critical
point as quickly as possible if you would like to work at a higher
speed or greater agitation intensity.
Check whether the voltage specified on the type plate matches
the mains voltage available.
Set the micro-titer plate at an angle by pressing diagonally against
the extendable round band around a corner. Place the micro-titer
plate evenly on the holding surface and push it outward under the
edges of the sheet that are bent inward.
Before you switch on the device, rotate the turn dial for speed
control as far as it will go to the left.
If these conditions are met, the device is ready to operate after
plugging in the mains plug. If these procedures are not followed,
safe operation cannot be guaranteed and/or the equipment may
be damaged. Please note the ambient conditions indicated in the
Technical details (temperature, and relative humidity).
You can turn the device on with the power switch (1), which is
located on the right side of the device. After you have turned on
the device, all the segments of the LED display (2) briefly light up
and an audio signal is heard. After this self-test of the device, the
speed display shows the value ”0”; the drive is turned off. Now
select the desired speed in revolutions per minute on the turn dial
for speed adjustment (3).
The following options are available for operating the device. You
can adjust them with the buttons on the front foil pad. When you
press a button, an audio signal confirms your action.
A: Continuous operation
The device is in continuous operation mode when the LED display
(2) indicates a value of ”0”. To start the drive in continuous ope-
ration, press the ”Start/Stop” button (4) again one more time. The
drive starts to run at the adjusted speed. The LED display (2)
shows two small zeros (”oo”).
To stop operation, press the ”Start/Stop” button (4) again. The
drive stops and the LED display shows the value ”0” again.
The ”1” button (6) and the ”10” button (5) have no function in con-
tinuous operation.
B: Time switch
In this mode (Timer), you can select an operating time in the range
of 1 to 99 minutes. You can adjust the desired time setting with
the ”1” key (6) and the ”10” key (5). Every time you press the ”1”
key (6), the time setting is incremented by 1 minute.
Correspondingly, every time you press the ”10” key (5), the time
setting is incremented by 10 minutes. The set time is shown on
the LED display (5). If the ones or tens place shows a ”9”, it will
be replaced the next time the button is pressed by a ”0”.
Timer mode is indicated by the dot on the lower right-hand corner
of the LED display (2). To start the drive, press the ”Start/Stop”
button once (4). The drive starts to run at the adjusted speed and
the decimal point flashes.
