the fire point of the media used.

• Be aware of hazards due to:

- Flammable materials or media with a low boiling

temperature

- Overfilling of media

- Unsafe container

• Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels.

• Check the instrument 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.

BlueSpin (Hotplate) Magnetic Stirrer

• The instrument 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 instrument may only be opened by experts.

• Keep away from high magnetic field.

2. Proper Use

The instrument is designed for mixing and/or heating

liquids in schools, laboratories or factories.

• Observe the minimum distances between the devices,

between the device and the wall and above the assembly

(min. 100 mm)

Figure 1

5. Trial Run

• Make sure the required operating voltage and power

supply voltage match.

• Ensure the socket must be 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 target stirring speed and begin.

• Observe the stirring bar and LED display (digital model).

• Set the target temperature and start heating.

• Observe the LED display (digital hotplate model).

• Stop the heating and stirring functions.

If these operations above are normal, the device is ready to

operate. If not, the device may be damaged during

transportation, please contact manufacturer/supplier for

technical support.

Warning !

Forbid to transfer the vessel when the instrument

working.

6. Function: Heating (Digital

hotplate model )

The device is controlled by digital temperature control

technology, which has 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 internal for temperature control are

built into the hotplate. The single external PT1000 can

monitor the temperature of sample.

•Plug in the external PT1000.

•Set the temperature via rotating the temperature

control knob slowly to the target value.

•When the heating function is switched on, the LED

displays the temperature value on the left-hand side.

•The heating function is switched on or off by pushing

heating knob.

The instrument automatically displays the last running

speed and temperature parameters once turned on.

Generally, the LED screen cannot display the actual

temperature of sample in the vessel or hotplate surface,

temperature differences as following:



9

BlueSpin (Hotplate) Magnetic Stirrer

‐Hotplate center and outer edge.

‐The sample in the vessel and hotplate surface.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the temperature inside the

container, please use the external temperature sensor

PT1000.

6.1 Working with external temperature

sensor



Figure 6

The external temperature sensor PT1000 is the

manufacturer’s standard accessory. When PT1000 sensor is

connected and rotate the temperature control knob, LED

displays the temperature setting value and shifts to real

value in 5 seconds. Safe circuit controls hotplate

temperature under 320°C. Comparing with the temperature

control of the hotplate, the external temperature sensor can

control the medium’s temperature more precise. The

heating function will be stopped automatically under

abnormal conditions. Please operate follow the instructions

below:

•Switch OFF the instrument.

•Ensure the external temperature sensor is inserted in

the media heated.

•Switch ON the instrument and run heating function.

If the heating function does not work, please contact

manufacturer/supplier for technical support.

6.2 Residual heat warning（HOT）

In order to prevent the risk of burns from a hotplate, digital

hotplate has a residual heat warning function. When the

heating function is switched off and the heating plate

temperature is still above 50°C, “Hot” will flash to warn

that there is a hazard of burns from the hotplate. When the

unit is powered off, the LED screen displays the

temperature of hotplate and Hot in turn. When the hotplate

temperature drops to below 50°C, the unit will

automatically switch off. If users want to turn off the LED

immediately, just pull out the plug directly. When the plug

is pulled out, the residual heat warning function cannot be

run.

7. Stirring

The function “stirring” of LED digital model is switched on

or off via pushing on/off speed control knob. The speed

range of 100 to 1500 rpm and in steps of 10 rpm.

The function “stirring” of classic model is switched on or

off via rotating speed control knob. The speed range of 0 to

1500 rpm.

8. Faults

•Instruments can’t be power ON

‐Check whether the power line is unplugged

‐Check whether the fuse is broken or loose

•Fault in power on self test

-Switch OFF the unit, then switch ON and reset

the instruments to factory default setting.

•Stir speed cannot reach set point

-Excessive medium viscosity may cause abnormal

speed reduction of the motor

•Unit cannot be powered off when switched off.

-Check if the residual heat warning function is still

ON and hotplate temperature is above 50℃(the

LED screen still work and “Hot” flash).

If these faults are not resolved, please contact

manufacturer/supplier.
