” section.
• The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.
• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
• The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to
the mains voltage.
• The device can only be disconnected from the mains sup
-
ply by pulling out the mains plug or the connector plug.
• Disconnect the mains plug before attaching or changing
any accessories.
•
Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning, maintenance
or moving the circulator.
•
The device must only be opened by trained specialists,
even during repair. The device must be unplugged from
the power supply before opening. Live parts inside the
device may still be live for some time after unplugging
from the power supply.
Coverings or parts that can be re-
moved from the device without the
aid of any tools must be put back
on the device again to ensure safe operation, for exam-
ple to keep foreign objects and liquids, etc. from getting
into the device.
• The device may only be used as prescribed and as de
-
scribed in these operating instructions. This includes op-
eration by instructed specialist personnel.
• When using critical or hazardous materials in your pro
-
cesses,
IKA
®
recommends to use additional appropri-
ate measures to ensure safety in the experiment. For
example, users can implement measures that inhibit fire
or explosions or comprehensive monitoring equipment.
• Process pathogenic material only in closed vessels under
a suitable fume hood. Please contact
IKA
®
application
support if you have any question.
If the
OFF
switch is not within
reach when device is operating, an
EMERGENCY STOP
switch that
can be easily accessed must be installed in the work area.
• A laboratory circulator heats and circulates fluid accord
-
ing to specified parameters. This involves hazards due to
high temperatures, fire and general hazards due to the
device of electrical energy. The user is largely protect-
ed by the device of relevant standards. Further hazard
sources may arise due to the type of tempering fluid,
e.g. by exceeding or undercutting certain temperature
thresholds or by the breakage of the container and re-
action with the heat carrier fluid. It is not possible to
consider all eventualities. They remain largely subject to
the judgment and responsibility of the operator. For this
reason, it may become necessary for user to take other
precautionary safety measures.
• Insufficient ventilation may result in the formation of ex
-
plosive mixtures. Only use the device in well ventilated
areas.
The safety circuit (safe tempera-
ture) must be adjusted so that the
maximum permissible temperature
cannot be exceeded even in the event of a fault. Check
the safe temperature circuit on a regular basis (see sec-
tion "
Setting the safety temperature
").
• Securely fix the
IC control
immersion circulator for use
at the bath, so that it cannot tip over.
• Use suitable hoses for connection.
• Secure hoses and tubes against slippage and avoid
kinks.
• Check hoses, tubes and bath at regular intervals for pos
-
sible material fatigue (cracks/leaks).
• When device is used for external circulation, extra pre
-
caution must be taken for hot liquid leakage due to
damaged hose.
•
Mains cable should not get in contact with hot parts and
fluids.
• If you are using plastic bath, observe the permitted
working temperature range and fluids.
Do not start up the device if:
- It is damaged or leaking
- Cable (not only supply cable) is damaged.
•
Be careful when filling a hot bath.
At high operating temperatures, the
temperature of housing parts, sur-
faces and tubes can exceed 70 ° C.
It is dangerous to touch the heater.
The temperature of the heater can
be very high.

•
After a power failure during operation, the device may
start automatically (depending on operating mode).
• Transport the device with care.
• Do not transport or empty the bath while it is still hot.
This may result in accidents, especially scalding injuries.
Fluids
Only
use fluids, which fulfill the re
-
quirements for safety, health and
device compatibility. Be aware of
the chemical hazards that may be associated with the
bath fluid used. Observe all safety
warnings
for the fluids.
• Depending on the bath fluid used and the type of opera
-
tion, toxic or flammable vapors can arise. Ensure suit
-
able extraction.
• Do not use any fluid which may cause dangerous reac
-
tions during processing.
• Only use recommended bath fluid. Only use non-acid
and non corroding fluid.
Only process and heat up any fluid
that has a flash point higher than
the adjusted safe temperature limit
that has been set. The safe temperature limit must al-
ways be set to at least 25 ºC lower than the flash point
of the fluid used. Examine regularly the function of the
safety temperature limiter.
Never operate the device without
sufficient heat carrier fluid! You
should also be careful to ensure
that the minimum clearances and immersion depths in
the fluid are observed. Check the fluid level detection at
a regular basis (see the chapter "
Filling and draining
").
• Continuous monitoring of the bath and the filling level of
the bath fluid is required, especially at high temperatures.
• For optimum temperature stability, the fluids viscosity
should be 50 mm
2
/s or less at its lowest operating tem-
perature. This permits good fluid circulation and mini
-
mizes heating from the pump.
If water is used at higher tempera-
ture, there is heavy loss of fluid due
to the condensation of evapora-
tion steam.
•
Untreated tap water is not recommended. It is recom-
mended to use distilled water or high purity water (ion
exchangers) and add 0,1 g soda (sodium carbonate
Na
2
CO
3
) /liter, to reduce corrosive properties.
Risk of burning caused by vapor or
hot water at the outlet of the cool-
ing coil.
Do not use the cooling coil with wa-
ter at bath temperatures > 95° C.
For bath temperatures > 60°C make
sure that the flow rate through the
cooling coil is high enough.
Don't use following fluids:
- Untreated tap water
- Concentration of acids or bases
- Solutions with halides: chlorides, fluorides, bromides,
iodides or sulfur
- Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)
- Solution with chromates or chromium salts
- Glycerine
- Ferrous water.
When changing the bath fluid
from water to a heat transfer fluid
for temperatures above 100 °C, re-
move the remaining water from the complete system
(including hoses and external devices). When doing this,
