Setting The Safety Temperature Limit; Heating Function - IKA RH basic Betriebsanleitung

Stirring function
The stirring bar, whose max. length should not exceed 80mm, is
driven via permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is directly
attached to the output shaft of the motor.
The actual speed depends on the load and the voltage. Please
note that fluctuations within the permissible tolerance of the mains
voltage, and process-based changes to the viscosity of the medium
being stirred, can also cause minor fluctuations in the speed.

Setting the safety temperature limit

The max. attainable heating plate temperature is restricted to
360°C by an adjustable safety temperature limit. Once this limit
has been attained, the device stops heating.
The safe temperature limit must
WARNING
always be set at least 25 °C lower
than the flash point of the media to
be processed!
The temperature set for the heating plate will be at least 25 °C
lower than the safe temperature limit.
Factory setting: about 360 °C.

Heating function

The unit has a built-in 600 w heating plate with a stainless steel
surface. The heating plate is kept at a constant temperature by a
control circuit. Two temperature sensors are built into the heating
plate.
RH basic
The heating plate temperature is set using the "Temp" rotary knob
(C) with its associated scale. The scale values range from approx.
room temperature to max. 320 °C. When the setting is 0 the
device heating does not switch on.
When the heating function is activated, the "Heating" LED (F)
lights up.
Controlling the Medium temperature limit via Contact Thermometer
The preferable method for controlling the average temperature is
with the ETS-D or contact thermometer. Adjust set point temperature.
After a brief heat-up period, you will reach set temp. This method
provides practically no temperature drift and only minor fluctuations
of temperature.
RH basic
The motor speed is set using the rotary knob for the motor (D). The
speed setting corresponds approximately to the value in rpm on
the speed scale. Turning the rotary knob (D) clockwise to the stop
sets the motor to run at maximum speed.
RH digital
The stirring function is started by pressing the button (J). The speed
can be set within the range 0 to 2000 rpm in increments of 50
rpm by pressing the buttons (L) or (K). The current speed setting
is shown on the display; this is the speed at which the device
operates.
Setting the safety temperature limit
After switching on the device, the safety temperature limit (B) can
be adjusted using a screwdriver.
Do not turn the setting screw beyond the clockwise or anticlock-
wise stop. This will cause irreparable damage to the potentiome-
ter.
• Using the screwdriver supplied, turn the "Safe Temp" setting
screw (B) to the clockwise stop.
• Use the temperature rotary knob (C) [RH basic] or with the
button (H or I) [RH digital] to set the target temperature to
the desired "Safe Temp" and wait until this is attained, at which
point the "Heating" LED (F) goes out.
• Turn the "Safe Temp" setting screw (B) slowly anticlockwise until
the heating function switches off and the indicator lamp (E) blin-
king (RH basic) or the display shows E24 (RH digital)...
• Then, turn the "Safe Temp" setting screw (B) slightly clockwise.
Switch the device off and on again at the main switch (A). After
this, the device is ready to operate.
RH digital
The heating function is started by pressing the button (G). The
heating plate temperature can be set within the range 50°C
to 320°C in 5 °C increments by pressing the buttons (I) or (H).
The current temperature setting is shown on display and device
operates at this temperature.
