Commissioning

Check whether the voltage specified on the type plate matches the mains
voltage available. The power socket used must be earthed (protective earth
conductor contact). Before tuning on the machine, adjust the turn dial for
controlling the speed so that it is against the left stop. If these conditions are
met, the device is ready to operate after plugging in the mains plug. If these
procedures are not followed, safe operation cannot be guaranteed and/or the
equipment may be damaged.
Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) listed under
Technical Data.

Starting

The heating and stirring features can be turned on and off by pressing the unit
switch (A).
Version RH basic 2 and RH basic KT/C: The ready for operation and turned on
states of the device are indicated by the green lamp in the unit switch lighting
up.
Version RH digital KT/C: When you switch on the stirrer it will run a self-test and
all the LED segments of the displays will light up for a few seconds. After this,
the LED's (D; G) light up to indicate that the unit is powered up and ready for
operation.

Function Stirring

The stirring rod in the glass beaker with a maximum length of 60 mm is driven
by a permanent magnet located directly under the placing and heating surface. It
allows magnetic field lines to pass trough it. The permanent magnet is fastened
directly onto the drive shaft of the motor.
The actual speed depends on the load and voltage. Note that fluctuations in
the in the mains power voltage within the allowable tolerance and changes in
viscosity of the materials to be stirred resulting from processes they undergo may
also cause minor fluctuations in the speed.
Version RH basic 2 and RH basic KT/C: The speed of the motor can be adjusted
