Technical data Machine type designation: RS200 Use according to the intended purpose Retsch vibratory disc mills are used for rapid, loss-free, fine milling of medium-hard, hard/brittle and hard/tough materials. Both dry and wet milling operations can be carried out. Milling with solvents is permitted. In this case, however, the supplementary notes in the section „Wet milling with easily flammable materials“ must be observed.
Emissions Noise characteristic values of RS200: Noise measurement according to DIN 45635-31-01-KL3 The noise characteristic values are influenced mainly by the machine speed, material to be milled and the milling set.
Transport and installation Packing Packing is adapted to the transport route and conforms to the generally applicable packaging guidelines. Please keep the packing material for the duration of the guarantee period since if there is a complaint and the machine is returned with inadequate packing your guarantee claim will be at risk. Transport The RS200 (210 kg) is to be lifted and transported only be the transport screws TS supplied with the machine. (Fig.
Temperature variations If temperature variations are high (e.g. during air transport) the RS200 must be protected against condensed water. Otherwise the electronic components can become damaged. Intermediate storage Ensure that the RS200 is also stored dry during intermediate storage. Erection Erect the RS200 on a firm base. Further parameters are given in the section „Technical data”. F Net weight of RS200: approx. 210 kg The machine must be locked in position before starting up.
Electrical connection P G Fig. 4 Removing the transport safety device device Abb.1 Betriebsarten Voltage and frequency for the RS200 are given on the type plate. Ensure that these values correspond to the available power supply system. Connect the RS200 to the power supply system using the supplied connection cable. Protection by external fusing is to be carried out when connecting the mains cable to the power supply, according to the regulations at the place of installation.
Important instructions for electrical connection 1. Electrical connection without a protective conductor PE is not permissible. 2. The drive of your RS200 is fitted with a frequency converter. To fulfil the EMC directive this is fitted with a line filter and shielded cables to the motor.
Operation Connecting the power supply H Au Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your mains supply correspond to the values on the type plate of the RS200. The mains supply must be fused up to at leasts 16A. (Fig. 6 Receiving socket and main switch) Plug the mains cable into the receiving socket Au on the rear side of the equipment. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. Switch on the main switch H.
Emergency unlocking A key for the machine is included in the delivery, with which the RS200 can be manually opened if there is a power failure. (Fig. 9 Emergency unlocking) (I) Insert the (S) key into the (O) opening on the right-hand side. (II) To unlock the gear, the key must be pushed in further with some degree of force. While pushing the key in, turn it in a clockwise direction as far as it will go. The cover can now be opened. Fig. 9 Emergency unlocking Abb.
In the RS200 a Retsch milling set of volumes 50 / 100 / 250 ml and materials special steel / agate / tungsten carbide can be used. Never start the RS200 without the clamped milling set. Mechanical components can become damaged. Preparation of the milling process Fit the milling cup with a disc and a ring. Two rings can also be inserted, depending on the milling set. Position the rings and disc as shown in the illustration opposite. (Fig. 10 Positioning the ring and disc) Fig.
When removing and opening hot milling sets it is essential to wear protective gloves. Danger of burning the hands. Rub the rubber gasket in the clamping plate from time to time with talcum powder and do not leave the milling set in the RS200 after milling. Strongly heated milling sets can stick together with the rubber in the clamping plate and are then very difficult to remove. 15.11.2006 Retsch GmbH 17 Doc. Nr. D 98.725.
Before starting the RS200 The milling cup clamping device has proved itself for many years, and is easy and reliable to handle. In order to guarantee safety of the operator and a long service life of the machine components the milling cups must be clamped carefully. Please remember that the RS200 is a milling machine with a very high power input into the milling material; therefore the milling cups must be fixed properly. Before starting the machine ensure that the milling set is clamped.
If the filling level of the milling set is too high or too low the milling result will be impaired and damage (wear increase) to the milling set can result. Please take necessary measures, depending on the dangerous nature of your milling material, to avoid danger to persons. When removing and opening hot milling cups it is essential to wear protective gloves. Danger of burning the hands. Cleaning the milling cups To clean the milling cups the seal between the lid and milling cup must be removed.
Operation via the display unit of the RS200 A E D The mill has a new, very comfortable operator control system. All relevant data can be entered or called via a graphic display with one knob operation. The menu system is multilingual. B C Fig. 15 Control panel Abb.16 Bedienfeld A Name Display B C D E START button STOP button Button Setting knob A b Function b Displays the menu, parameter settings, operating instructions and fault . signalling.
Setting possibilities via the display menu For setting possibilities on the display described below please observe the menu structure on this page.
Speed with agate 700 rpm If no milling cup, or a milling cup with agate lining, is clamped, the speed is limited to 700 rpm and cannot be changed. If no milling cup, or a milling cup with agate lining, is clamped the display in fig. 1 appears. After confirmation with the START button the menu (fig. 2) appears in the display and all parameters except speed can be changed. Figure 1 Figure 2 The RS200 is started with the preselected milling time.
Starting time Start in Cancel xxh xxm Starting can be preselected here in steps of 01 to 99 hrs or 01 to 60 min. The RS200 is started with the preselected milling time and speed after the set starting time has elapsed. Ensure that the milling cups have been clamped properly before you start the machine unattended. Even though starting without the lid closed is not possible, make sure that the lid is closed before you start the machine unattended.
Contrast / Brightness MENU DISPLAY CONTRAST BRIGHTNESS Contrast and brightness can be adapted to each user or to the environment (sunlight, dazzling etc). If you have accidentally selected the wrong contrast or brightness (the display can no longer be seen), switch off the unit at the main switch, keep the buttons START, STOP and LID OPEN pressed simultaneously and switch on again. You are now in the language selection and the setting values CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS have the works presettings again.

General Cleaning Do not clean the RS200 with running water. Danger to life through current surge. Use only a cloth moistened with water. Solvents are not permitted. Maintenance To ensure that your RS200 will function reliably, the following maintenance work should be done from time to time, but at the latest every month : Fig. 17 Locking bolt Check that roller 1 in the locking bolt moves easily. If it doesn’t, oil it, e.g. with sewing machine oil. (Fig.
