Ratek OM11 User manual
Ratek controllers use a custom program securely contained as firmware in a
single microprocessor.
User interface is via front panel mounted key switches and LED display.
Program settings are maintained by a non-volatile RAM. System
performance is monitored by a “watch dog” that resets the system if power is
interrupted.
Separate function switches are provided for independent operation of the
mixing and heating, These switches are located under their respective
control sections on the front panel.
Ensure that the load is properly secured before starting the mixer.
Do not run heavy loads at high speed.
The motor control circuit has a built in safety feature which is designed to
protect the drive against abnormal conditions.
If the platform becomes jammed, or an excessive load is detected, drive to
the motor will be cut.
To restore normal operation, remove the obstruction or excessive load, turn
the power switch off, then on again.
The clear acrylic cabinet can be easily removed in one piece to allow full
access for cleaning. When refitting ensure the cabinet is located securely in
the locating strips.
