unit ON. The start-up and the control of the speed are effected with the knob. When switched on, the unit
automatically starts up in Sensor mode and the indicator light (5) is lit.

3. Operation controls

Connect the unit to mains and turn it ON using the ON-OFF switch (6). Each time the unit is switched
on it automatically starts in Sensor mode and the sensor mode indicator light (5) will be on.
To select continuous mode, press the Continuous-Sensor button (2) on the front of the unit and the indica-
tor light (5) will go out to indicate the unit is in continuous mode. In Continuous mode, the mixing cup
head runs continuously at the speed set.
When Sensor mode is selected, mixing starts automatically (at the speed set) when the tube crosses the
sensor fi eld (infrared optical system) as shown in Fig. 2, without the need for any pressure on the mixing
cup head. The sensor fi eld has been purposely designed to detect the presence of any kind of tube to be
mixed. The Vortex IR allows the mixing of tubes without the need to exert pressure on the cup head, thus
reducing effort by the operator. NOTE: remember to hold the tube tightly during mixing!
