Safety Instructions - IKA LR 1000 basic Mode D'emploi

General instructions:
• Read the operating instructions fully before
starting up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they
can be accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the equipment.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational
health and safety and accident prevention regulations.

cannot ensure this access at all
times, an additional EMERGEN-
CY STOP switch that can be eas-
ily accessed must be installed in
the work area.
Pay attention to the danger
spots shown in Fig. 5.1 / Fig. 5.2.
The MV1 valve can become very
hot during operation.
Secure the cooling hoses to the
device. Pressure can build up due
to vaporisation.
The MV1 valve must only be fit-
ted as an inlet (cooling connec-
tion IN).
• Uncontrolled reactions can be triggered by mixing the
heated material insufficiently or by the energy gener-
ated by selecting a speed that is too high. In case of
these and other increased operational hazards, users
must take additional appropriate safety precautions.
In any case, when using critical or hazardous materials
in your processes, IKA recommends to use additional
appropriate measures to ensure safety in the experi-
ment. For example, users can implement measures that
inhibit fire or explosions or comprehensive monitoring
equipment. Furthermore, users must make sure that
the unit switch of the IKA product can be accessed im-
mediately, directly and without risk at any time.
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable,
clean, non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• Protect the instrument and accessories from bumping
and impacting.

Beware of hazards due to:
WARNING
- flammable materials
- combustible media with a
low boiling temperature
- glass vessel breakage
- overfilling of media
- unsafe condition of container.
Observe the chapter "technical
data".
The reactor system must al-
ways be ventilated when work-
ing under normal pressure in
order to prevent any pressure
build-up caused by highly vola-
tile gases or unpredictable re-
action pressure gradients. Con-
dense volatile gases using a
cooler with a standard ground
connector (e.g. a reflux con-
denser) on the reactor cover.
Before you fill the reactor ves-
NOTICE
sel, ensure that the reagents
used do not corrode the seal.
The cooling system must be un-
pressurised.
Only process media that will not react dangerously to
the extra energy produced through processing. This
also applies to any extra energy produced in other
ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
Do not operate the device in explosive atmospheres,
in the presence of hazardous materials or under water.
With substances capable of forming an explosive mix-
ture, appropriate safety measures must be applied, e.g.
working under a fume hood.
The equipment is not designed for overpressure use.
The equipment is designed for operation at vacuum
settings up to 25 mbar.
Certain applications and materials may be hazardous. You
should take precautions to prevent contact with, or inha-
lation of, toxic liquids, gases, fumes, vapours or powders.
Risks may also be posed by biological or microbiologi-
cal substances.
Observe the maximum permissible temperatures in the
reactor vessel.
Ensure that the external temperature sensor is inserted
in the media to a depth of at least 20 mm.
The external temperature sensor must always be im-
mersed in the medium.
