Explication of warning symbols General hazard DANGER This symbol identifies information that is of vital importance for safeguarding your health and safety. Disregarding this information can lead to health impairment and injuries. WARNING This symbol identifies information that is of importance for the technically correct functioning of the system. Disregarding this information can result in damage to the instrument or to system components.
DANGER Beware of the risk of: - flammable materials - glass breakage as a result of mechanical shaking power. DANGER Reduce the speed if: - the medium splashes out of the vessel because the speed is too high - the instrument is not running smoothly - the instrument begins to move around because of dynamic forces - an error occurs. DANGER Do not touch rotating parts during operation! • There may be electrostatic activity between the medium and the output shaft which could cause a direct danger.
Correct use • Use For mixing/stirring liquids with low to high viscosities by various stirring tools. Intended use: Stand device (chuck points down). • Range of use (indoor use only) - Laboratories - Schools - Pharmacies - Universities • Wireless remote control Before using the wireless link between the Wireless Controller (WiCo) and the laboratory device, first check whether your region is included in the radio communications approval for the device.
Speed – overload operation In order to overcome peaks in the load such as arise when a solid or viscous medium is added, the stirrer can be run for a brief period at twice its rated power. When running in the overload range (for instance if the viscosity has increased at a particular stage of the process) the speed will be reduced to a degree sufficient to keep the torque on the stirrer shaft within the rated torque of the device.
Securing the stirring element using the chuck Diagram (see Fig. 4) Slide the stirring element (M) into the chuck (L). Tighten the chuck firmly using the chuck key (K). The stirring element must only be changed when the equipment is stationary and the power supply is disconnected. Securing the stirring shaft protector Diagram (see Fig. 5) Use a stirring shaft protector (Q), e.g. R 301, to provide protection against injury when working with the instrument.
If the Bluetooth® function of the Wireless Controller is active, the user can use the Bluetooth® search button (H) to search for the Wireless Controller. A beep signal will be audible even if the Wireless Controller is switched off. Note: The direction of rotation can also be switched using the settings in the “Intermittent Mode“ menu (see the "Explanation of symbols on the working screen" and "Navigation menu and menu structure" section, see Fig. 9).
Home: This symbol means that the Wireless Controller is connected to the EUROSTAR station and is communicating with the EUROSTAR station via the charging contacts. The symbol no longer appears if the Wireless Controller is removed from the EUROSTAR station. Battery pack (rechargeable battery): This symbol indicates the charging status of the RB 1 battery pack within the Wireless Controller.

Menu (details) Stirring Speed Limit: The ”Speed Limit” menu allows the user to set the desired maximum upper speed limit for the EUROSTAR 60 / 100 control stirrer. The initial setting is the maximum permissible speed of the stirrer. If the user changes this setting, the Wireless Controller saves the new value for future stirring tasks. If the “Speed Limit” has been changed, then the speed can be adjusted only within the new range.
Temperature In the ”Temperature” menu the user can specify that the temperature sensor is displayed on the display/working screen. A tick shows that the option is activated. The precondition for this is that a temperature sensor is connected to the EUROSTAR station. If no temperature sensor is connected, or an error is present or the temperature rises above 350 °C, three dashes are shown as the temperature value.
Interfaces and outputs The device can be operated in “Remote” mode via an RS 232 or USB interface using the laboratory software labworldsoft®. The RS 232 interface at the back of the device is fitted with a 9-pole SUB-D port which can be connected to a PC. The pins are assigned serial signals. The USB port at the rear of the stirrer is used for the connection between the PC and the Wireless Controller (WiCo). The Wireless Controller also has a USB port, located on its right side.

It is only subject to the natural wear and tear of components and their statistical failure rate.
Error codes The fault is shown by an error message in the display (C) as following if the error occurs, e.g. Error 4. Proceed as follows in such cases: F Switch the device switch (A) off. F Remove the stirrer tool and remove the instrument from the assembly. F Reduce the speed and switch on (instrument switch (A)) the device without the stirrer tool.
