2.2 Function of the keyboard
To start the operation push the ON/OFF button on the handheld unit.
The main switch at the base station must be turned on first.
The default speed is set to 2‘000 rpm when the unit is switched on at the main
switch at the base station. Else it will start with the last manually set speed.
To stop the operation push again the ON/OFF button on the handheld unit.
The integrated vent will continue to work for approx. 1 min to enhance the
cooling of the motor.
If the unit will not be used for a longer period of time the whole unit should
be switched off using the main switch at the base station.
With the UP button the rotational speed will be increased by incremental
steps of 100 rpm. The possible speed range is between 2'000 and 30'000 rpm.
Keep the button pushed to increase the speed faster.
With the DOWN button the rotational speed will be decreased by incremental
steps of 100 rpm. The possible speed range is between 2'000 and 30'000 rpm.
Der Bereich reicht von 2'000 bis zu 30'000 min-1.
Keep the button pushed to decrease the speed faster.
When pushing the MEMO button for approx. >1 sec. the actual set speed will
be saved and confirmed by flashing (3 times) of the LED.
The memorized speed can be called up when pushing the MEMO button.
IMPORTANT: The maximum possible speed depends also on the size of the dispersing ag-
gregate, the type of product and viscosity. If the actual speed deviates from
the set speed (e.g. through strong changes of viscosity) or the set speed can-
not be reached, the LED display will start to flash to indicate overload.
When the drive will be overloaded for a longer time and overheat, the unit
will be switched off by the integrated thermal fuse.
