Fluids; Battery Pack Rb 1 (For Wireless Controller) - IKA IC control Mode D'emploi

• After a power failure during operation, the device may
start automatically (depending on operating mode).
• Transport the device with care.
• Do not transport or empty the bath while it is still hot.
This may result in accidents, especially scalding injuries.

Fluids

Only use fluids, which fulfill the re-
DANGER
quirements for safety, health and
device compatibility. Be aware of
the chemical hazards that may be associated with the
bath fluid used. Observe all safety warnings for the fluids.
• Depending on the bath fluid used and the type of opera-
tion, toxic or flammable vapors can arise. Ensure suit-
able extraction.
• Do not use any fluid which may cause dangerous reac-
tions during processing.
• Only use recommended bath fluid. Only use non-acid
and non corroding fluid.
Only process and heat up any fluid
DANGER
that has a flash point higher than
the adjusted safe temperature limit
that has been set. The safe temperature limit must al-
ways be set to at least 25 ºC lower than the flash point
of the fluid used. Examine regularly the function of the
safety temperature limiter.
Never operate the device without
CAUTION
sufficient heat carrier fluid! You
should also be careful to ensure
that the minimum clearances and immersion depths in
the fluid are observed. Check the fluid level detection at
a regular basis (see the chapter "Filling and draining").
• Continuous monitoring of the bath and the filling level of
the bath fluid is required, especially at high temperatures.
• For optimum temperature stability, the fluids viscosity
should be 50 mm /s or less at its lowest operating tem-
2
perature. This permits good fluid circulation and mini-
mizes heating from the pump.
If water is used at higher tempera-
CAUTION
ture, there is heavy loss of fluid due
to the condensation of evapora-
tion steam.
• Untreated tap water is not recommended. It is recom-
mended to use distilled water or high purity water (ion
exchangers) and add 0,1 g soda (sodium carbonate
Na CO ) /liter, to reduce corrosive properties.

hot water at the outlet of the cool-
ing coil.
Do not use the cooling coil with wa-
WARNING
ter at bath temperatures > 95° C.
For bath temperatures > 60°C make
CAUTION
sure that the flow rate through the
cooling coil is high enough.
Don't use following fluids:
WARNING
- Untreated tap water
- Concentration of acids or bases
- Solutions with halides: chlorides, fluorides, bromides,
iodides or sulfur
- Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)
- Solution with chromates or chromium salts
- Glycerine
- Ferrous water.
When changing the bath fluid
DANGER
from water to a heat transfer fluid
for temperatures above 100 °C, re-
move the remaining water from the complete system
(including hoses and external devices). When doing this,
also open the stopper and union nuts caps of the pump
outputs and inputs and blow compressed air through
all the pump outputs and inputs! Beware of the risk of
burning due to delay in boiling!

Battery pack RB 1 (for Wireless Controller)

If during operation the battery
CAUTION
pack RB 1 (rechargeable battery)
becomes fully discharged, the de-
vice (Station) will continue to run or is shut down de-
pending on the value settings for "Time Out", "Safe
Speed" and "Safe Temperature". If the device is set so
that it continues to run when the battery of the Wireless
Controller (WiCo) is fully discharged, the only means of
switching the station off are the "safe STOP (C)", "ON/
OFF (A)" key and the "Mains switch (2)"!
Please note the following safety
WARNING
instructions for the battery pack
RB 1 (rechargeable battery):
• Keep the battery pack out of reach of children at all times.
• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place.
• Never throw the battery pack into a fire. Keep it away
from direct sunlight and temperatures above 60 °C.
High temperatures will damage the battery pack and
render it unusable. Temperatures above 100 °C may
cause it to explode.
• Never throw the battery pack into water or expose it to
moisture. Water may lead to a short-circuit, causing the
battery pack to explode.
• Do not deform or crush the battery pack or damage it in
any other way. This can cause battery fluid to leak and/
or the battery pack to explode.
• When not in use, keep battery packs away from pa-
perclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects which could cause the contacts to be bridged.
Short-circuiting may result in an explosion.
