Functions
When using the PT100, the selected temperature control mode is
shown on the digital display by the
(11) symbol.
The target temperature (2) and the
current temperature (5) shown on
the display refer to the temperature
of the medium. The heating plate
temperature is limited by the set
safety temperature (7). The medium
temperature is controlled by means
of a microcontroller. The medium
temperature is measured by the PT100
temperature sensor and is heated
up as quickly as possible without
overshooting to the set temperature.
The microcontroller is capable of
adjusting automatically to the different
heating capacities of various vessels
and their contents. As a result, the heat
is distributed in an optimum fashion
with no temperature drift or ripples.
Regulation of the temperature of the medium
using PT100 temperature sensor
The user is able to set the device to three different methods
depending on their specific needs. The selected temperature
control method is displayed alongside the symbol (

Operation with the PT1000 double
sensor is indicated on the digital
display by the
symbol. One
temperature sensor is located in the
heat carrier fluid and the other is
located in the reaction medium. The
set target temperature (2) refers to
the temperature of the medium. The
higher temperature is automatically
attributed to the heat carrier fluid and
shown on the display as an additional
current temperature with the symbol
(3).
The actual temperature of the reaction
medium is shown as the current
temperature (5). The heating plate
temperature (and therefore the heat
carrier fluid temperature) are limited by the set heating plate
safety temperature limit (7). The reaction medium temperature
is limited by the set temperature limits (carrier fluid/reaction
temperature limit).
see section entitled “Limits”

Stirring bar breakaway
If the device detects that a stirring bar has broken away, the
stirring function is interrupted temporarily in order to pick up
the bar. The system then returns to the previously set speed.
When the system detects a bar breakaway, this is indicated with
a special symbol (
instead of symbol 16). If another stirring
bar breakaway occurs within the next 3 minutes (as long as the
target speed has not been modified), once the bar is recovered
the system only goes up to a speed of 100 rpm. In the case of
4 consecutive stirring bar breakaways -with less than 3 minutes’
normal speed between them - the error message ER 41 is
displayed. The speed is reduced to 200 rpm and the heating is
switched off.
In such cases, the testing conditions will need to be reconsidered.
NOTE:
The user is responsible for ensuring the suitability/function
of the stirring bar breakaway monitoring for the current
conditions: stirring bar, speed, vessel, medium, etc.
Stirring bar breakaway monitoring does not work if the
stirring bar already breaks away before the system has
reached the set target speed!
The higher the torque to be transferred, the more safely the
stirring bar breakaway monitoring works.
In a glass beaker with water, the stirring bar breakaway for a
bar from 40 mm (d=8 mm) upwards can be seen from 300 -
1,200 rpm. Longer stirring bars, larger bar surface areas, e.g.
Trika, or higher speeds increase the torque to be transferred.
• Scroll to the “Stirring” icon
in the menu
• Open the submenu by
pressing the rotary knob (D)
• Open the “Stirring bar
breakaway” submenu and
confirm by pressing the
rotary knob (D)
• Acknowledge the informa
-
tion screen displayed by
pressing the rotary knob (D)
g
Intermittent mode
Intermittent mode consists of regular, cyclical interruption of
the stirring function. The run time and interval can both be set.
When switching on the device, the time for each is displayed if
intermittent mode is activated
• Scroll to the “Stirring” icon
in the menu
• Open the submenu by
pressing the rotary knob (D)
• Open the “Interval”
submenu and confirm by
pressing the rotary knob (D)
• Enter the run time and stop
time using the rotary knob
(D) and finally confirm the
two by pressing it again.
Torque trend measurement
The torque trend measurement is used to deduce the change in
viscosity of the reaction medium.
The devices are
not
designed to measure absolute viscosity. They
only measure and display the relative change in the viscosity of the
medium from a starting point specified by the user.
Once the speed of the motor and magnetic rod in the medium
have stabilised to the target speed, the viscosity measurement is
started at 100%.
Consequently, an increase in the measured torque trend is indicated
by a value > 100% and a reduction in values < 100%.
The value can always be reset to 100% by pressing the “Back” (F)
membrane key.
Note:
Torque trend measurement only works for a constant set
speed for the duration of the measurement.
As a result, intermittent mode cannot be used in
conjunction with torque trend measurement.

27
The current control variable is saved as the reference 100% ΔP
and shown on the digital display. The change in the viscosity is
then shown in %. Depending on whether the viscosity increases
or decreases, the percentage rises or falls above or below 100%
respectively.
• Scroll to the “Stirring” icon
in the menu
• Open the submenu by
pressing the rotary knob
(D)
• Open the “Torque trend
measurement” submenu
and confirm by pressing

This process needs to be
repeated two or three
times before closing cali-
bration mode
Once the calibration
process has been
completed successfully, the
weighing module is ready
for use.
Regularly re-calibrate the
device.
Timer / Counter
The Timer function allows the user to stop the heating process
after a certain time has lapsed. The Timer function can be set for
up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
Note:
The time starts to count down when starting both functions
(heating and/or stirring).
Once the heating function is activated, the timer function only
refers to heating. The stirring function continues to operate as
previously, thereby avoiding a delay in boiling in the liquid. The
motor is only switched off when the heating function is not
active. The stirring function is stopped if the heating function is
not started during the timer cycle and the time runs out.
NOTE:
By entering a value of

“Watchdog” functions; monitoring of the serial data flow
If, once this function has been activated (see NAMUR commands),
there is no retransmission of the command from the computer
within the set time (“watchdog time”), the heating and stirring
functions are switched off in accordance with the set “watchdog”
function or are changed to the set target values.
The data transmission may be interrupted by, for example, a crash
in the operating system, a power failure in the PC or an issue with
the connection table between the computer and REC control.
“Watchdog” - mode 1
If there is an interruption in data communications (longer than
the set watchdog time), the heating and stirring functions are
switched off and ER 2 is displayed.
“Watchdog” - mode 2
If there is an interruption in data communications (longer than
the set watchdog time), the speed target value is changed to
the WD safety speed limit and the temperature target value is
changed to the WD safety temperature limit value. The warning
WD is displayed.
Connection possibilities between the RET control
and external devices
The following adapters and adapter cables are available from
IKA
®
for connecting the RET control to external devices.

Troubleshooting
The device will indicate that there is a fault by displaying an error
message “Er X” (see table) on the screen.
Heating will be switched off permanently (exception: WD - see
table).
The stirring function continues to operate at the pre-set speed if
there is a fault in the heating circuit (exception: WD - see table).
In order to reset the device after a fault, it may need to be discon-
nected from the power supply for several seconds. The period the
device is switched off may also need to be longer if the tempera-
tures need to be counterbalanced (residual heat display may no
longer be active; see “Residual heat display”).
The safety circuit test takes place within 20 seconds of switching
on the device; after the test, the other monitoring functions are
activated.
If a fault cannot be eliminated directly, you must perform a
RESET
(see “Settings” menu)
. If the faults still cannot be elimi-
nated, the appliance must be inspected by a technical service
technician.

Fonctions
Le mode de régulation de la température sélectionné pendant le
fonctionnement avec PT100 est signalé par le symbole
(11)
dans l’affichage digital.
La température de consigne (2) affichée
et la température réelle (5) se réfèrent
à la température du milieu. La tempé-
rature de la plaque chauffante est limi-
tée par la température de sécurité (7)
réglée. La régulation de la température
du milieu s’effectue via un microcon-
trôleur. Cela permet de chauffer la tem-
pérature du milieu détectée par la PT
100 le plus rapidement possible et sans
dépassement à la température réglée.
Le microcontrôleur s’adapte automa-
tiquement aux différentes capacités
thermiques des différentes récipients
à poser utilisés et à leur contenu. Cela
garantit toujours une régulation opti-
male de la température sans dérive en
température et ondulation.
Réglage de la température du milieu avec la
sonde de température PT100
L’utilisateur peut personnaliser la régulation de température selon
ses besoins dans trois modes différents. Le mode de régulation de
température sélectionné s’affiche en plus du symbole (
11).
