Safety Instructions; General Information - IKA IC control Mode D'emploi

General information

• Read the operating instructions completely before
starting up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where it can be
accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the device.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational
health, safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable,
clean, non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• Do not operate the device in explosive atmospheres,
with hazardous substances.
• Protect the device and accessories from bumping and
impacting.
• Check the device and accessories for damage before
each use. Do not use damaged components.
• Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories
described in the "Accessories" section.
• The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.
• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
• The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to
the mains voltage.
• The device can only be disconnected from the mains sup-
ply by pulling out the mains plug or the connector plug.
• Disconnect the mains plug before attaching or changing
any accessories.
• Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning, maintenance
or moving the circulator.
• The device must only be opened by trained specialists,
even during repair. The device must be unplugged from
the power supply before opening. Live parts inside the
device may still be live for some time after unplugging
from the power supply.
Coverings or parts that can be re-
WARNING
moved from the device without the
aid of any tools must be put back
on the device again to ensure safe operation, for exam-
ple to keep foreign objects and liquids, etc. from getting
into the device.
• The device may only be used as prescribed and as de-
scribed in these operating instructions. This includes op-
eration by instructed specialist personnel.
• When using critical or hazardous materials in your pro-
cesses, IKA recommends to use additional appropri-
®
ate measures to ensure safety in the experiment. For
example, users can implement measures that inhibit fire
or explosions or comprehensive monitoring equipment.
• Process pathogenic material only in closed vessels under
a suitable fume hood. Please contact IKA
support if you have any question.
If the OFF switch is not within
DANGER
reach when device is operating, an
EMERGENCY STOP switch that
can be easily accessed must be installed in the work area.

Safety instructions

• A laboratory circulator heats and circulates fluid accord-
ing to specified parameters. This involves hazards due to
high temperatures, fire and general hazards due to the
device of electrical energy. The user is largely protect-
ed by the device of relevant standards. Further hazard
sources may arise due to the type of tempering fluid,
e.g. by exceeding or undercutting certain temperature
thresholds or by the breakage of the container and re-
action with the heat carrier fluid. It is not possible to
consider all eventualities. They remain largely subject to
the judgment and responsibility of the operator. For this
reason, it may become necessary for user to take other
precautionary safety measures.
• Insufficient ventilation may result in the formation of ex-
plosive mixtures. Only use the device in well ventilated
areas.
WARNING
cannot be exceeded even in the event of a fault. Check
the safe temperature circuit on a regular basis (see sec-
tion "Setting the safety temperature").
• Securely fix the IC control immersion circulator for use
at the bath, so that it cannot tip over.
• Use suitable hoses for connection.
• Secure hoses and tubes against slippage and avoid
kinks.
• Check hoses, tubes and bath at regular intervals for pos-
sible material fatigue (cracks/leaks).
• When device is used for external circulation, extra pre-
caution must be taken for hot liquid leakage due to
damaged hose.
• Mains cable should not get in contact with hot parts and
fluids.
• If you are using plastic bath, observe the permitted
working temperature range and fluids.
DANGER
- It is damaged or leaking
- Cable (not only supply cable) is damaged.
• Be careful when filling a hot bath.

DANGER
The safety circuit (safe tempera-
ture) must be adjusted so that the
maximum permissible temperature
Do not start up the device if:
At high operating temperatures, the
temperature of housing parts, sur-
faces and tubes can exceed 70 ° C.
It is dangerous to touch the heater.
The temperature of the heater can
be very high.
