4. Safety instructions

Always wear protective gloves, clothes, and glasses to avoid the risk of:

•Splashing and evaporation of liquids.

•Release of toxic or combustible gases.

Place the device in a spacious and on a stable, clean, non slip, dry and fireproof surface. Do not use the device in explosive

atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under water.

Gradually increase the speed, reduce the speed if:

•Splashing, due to high speed of the stirring bar.

•The device is not running smoothly, or container moves on the base plate.

Temperature must always be set to at least 50°C lower than the ignition point.

Be aware of hazards due to:

•Flammable materials or utensil with a low boiling temperature.

•Overfilling of utensil.

•Unsafe container.

Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels.

In case the stirrer bar is PTFE, please note:

•Elemental fluorine, three fluoride and alkali metals will corrode the PTFE and halogen alkanes make it expansion at room

temperature.

•Molten alkali, alkaline earth metals or their solution, as well as the powder in second and third ethnic of the Periodic

Table of Elements will have chemical reaction with PTFE when temperature reaches 300 - 400°C.

•Check the device and accessories prior to each use. Do not use damaged components. Safe operation is only guaranteed

with the accessories described in the “Accessories” chapter. Accessories must be securely attached to the device and can

not come off by themselves. Always disconnect the plug before fitting accessories.

•When the external temperature sensor needed, the tip of the measuring sensor must be at least 5-10mm from vessel

bottom and wall.

•The device can only be disconnected from the main power supply by pulling out the main or the connector plug.

•The voltage stated on the label must correspond to the main power supply.

•Ensure that the main power supply cable does not touch the hotplate. Do not cover the device.

•The device can only be disassembled by experts.

Keep away from high magnetic field.

Warning!

•Read the operating instructions carefully before use.

•Ensure that only trained staff works with the device.

Risk of burn!

•Caution when touch the housing parts and the hotplate which can reach temperature of 340°C.

•Attention on the remaining high temperature after switching off.

Protective ground contact!

•Make sure that the power supply is grounded before use.

7. Trial and custom use

•Make sure that the required operating voltage matches

with the power supply voltage.

•Ensure that the socket is properly grounded.

•Plug in the power cable, ensure the power is on and

begin initializing.

•Add the medium into the vessel with an appropriate

stirring bar.

•Place vessel on the work plate.

•Set the desirable stirring speed.

•Set the desirable temperature.

•Stop both heating and stirring functions. If these

operations above are normal, the device is ready for use.

If these operations are not normal, the device may be

damaged during transportation, please contact supplier

for technical support.

•Use a FagronLab™ magnetic rod to remove safely the

stirring bar from the vessel.

Heating

The device is controlled by digital temperature control technology, with two separate safe circuits. The hotplate is kept

at a constant temperature by a digital control circuit. The hotplate temperature can also be monitored from a separate,

adjustable safe circuit. The two temperature sensors (PT1000) internal for temperature control are built into the hotplate.

The single external PT1000 can monitor the temperature of the sample.

Note:

•If both heating and stirring functions have been started at the same time, heating function always

has higher priority. If in this case speed is changed via the stirring knob, it displays stirring speed and

reverses to temperature in the duration of 5 seconds.

Working with external temperature sensor

The external temperature sensor FagronLab™ PT1000 is the manufacture’s standard accessory. If the sensor is plugged in,

“Probe” will be shown on the digital display to indicate that the sensor is operating. The value of external temperature sensor

and the actual temperature are displayed. Safe circuit controls hotplate temperature. Comparing with the temperature control

of the hotplate, the external temperature sensor can control the medium’s temperature more precisely.

To plug in the sensor's holder you have to remove the plastic cover.

•Turn off the device with power ON/OFF button.

•Plug in the external sensor PT1000 and follow the previous steps.

Residual heat warning (HOT)

In order to prevent the risk of burns from the hotplate, digital hotplate has a residual heat warning function. When the

heating function is switched off and the hotplate temperature is still above 50°C, “Hot” will flash on the display to warn

that there is a hazard of burns from the hotplate. When the hotplate temperature drops to below 50°C, the unit will

automatically switch off. If users want to turn off the LCD immediately, just unplug the power cable. When the power cable

is pulled out, the residual heat warning function cannot be visual.

10. Stirring

The function “stirring” is switched on or off via pushing the stirring knob. The speed can be set by the knob (100 to 1500 rpm

in steps of 10 rpm). When both of functions heating and stirring are switched on , the LCD will shift to the speed value and

come back to the temperature value in about 5 seconds.

Figure 5. External temperature sensor

•Set the temperature via rotating the temperature control knob slowly to the target value.

•When the heating function is switched on, the LED “Heat” will light up and the LCD will display the real temperature.

•The rated temperature will be displayed on the right-hand side of the LCD as well as Temp and °C characters.

•The heating function is switched on or off by pushing heating knob.

When setting the temperature, be aware that the display temperature and the actual temperature may have the following differences:

•Hotplate center and outer edge.

•The sample container and the container.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the temperature inside the container, please use the external temperature sensor PT1000.

FagronLab™ PRO-DMS

Note:

•Forbid to insert or remove the PT1000 sensor when device is switched ON!
