Digital & Pulsing Vortex Mixer Operating Instructions
1. Make sure the 3-way rocker switch is in the center, standby position. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet. The unit is now
on and in a standby mode.
2. For continuous operation, push the rocker switch to the right, on position. For intermittent/touch operation, push the rocker switch to the
left, auto position.
3. In either case, set the speed. In the on position, you will see the head in motion immediately. In the auto position, the vessel you are using
must be pushed down on the head attachment to achieve motion. To get the desired mix, vary the speed, using the speed up/down
arrows, and/or vary the angle of contact and pressure against the head.
Setting speed:
To set the speed press the up/down arrows below the speed display until you reach the desired speed.
• Speed while running in the on position is 500 to 2500rpm.
• Speed while running in the auto position is 1000 to 2500rpm.
• Speed while running in the pulse mode is 2500rpm, running for 30 seconds, resting 10 seconds.
Setting time:
Time operation works in both auto and on positions.
• To run in timed mode (programmed time), start by pressing the rocker switch to the left, auto position. Press the up/down arrows
below the time display until you reach the desired time. While running unit in timed mode, the time display will show time remaining,
counting down to zero (0:00).
• To run in continuous mode (accumulated time), reset the timer to zero (0:00) before running. Time display will show the accumulated
time and run until you press the rocker switch to the center, standby position.
Pulse operation: (for Pulsing Vortex Mixer only)
• Set the time if desired.
•Move the rocker switch to the right, on position. Press the pulse button, in the center of the front panel. The speed display will show
"PULSE". The unit will run at 2500rpm, cycling a run time of 30 seconds, followed by a resting time of 10 seconds. The unit will continue
vortexing until the timer reaches zero (0:00) or you stop the unit by moving the rocker switch to the center, standby position.
4. When finished with either continuous, intermittent or pulse operation, return rocker switch to the center, standby position.
5. The continuous, on mode is for the larger accessories. In continuous on mode, DO NOT run the unit above 900rpm.
6. The intermittent, auto mode is intended for short mixing times of one (1) minute or less at full speed. A rest period of two (2) minutes is
recommended to minimize the possibility of overheating the motor. The unit can become warm to the touch with constant use. There is
nothing wrong with it. At high performance settings the motor (UL recognized component) simply puts out more heat. IMPORTANT:
When using larger accessories (Insert Retainer with foam inserts or Ampule Tube Holders), DO NOT run the unit above 900rpm. UNIT
DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
7. To completely cut off power to the unit, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
NOTE: In the event of a power outage or hazard that will interrupt unit operation, the unit will restart at set speed and/or temperature when a
power outage or hazard is restored.
