Safety instructions 1110 Safety instructions

/// General information

› Read the operating manual in its entirety before using

the KMO 3 basic and follow the safety instructions.

› Keep the operating manual in a location that is easily

accessible by everyone in the laboratory.

› Ensure that only trained staff operates the device.

› Follow the safety instructions, (laboratory) guidelines, occupational

health and safety and accident prevention regulations (OSHA).

Attention – Magnetism! ( )

Effects of the magnetic ﬁeld have to be taken into

account (e.g. data storage media, cardiac pacemakers ...).

/// Device design

Danger! ( )

› Do not operate the device in explosive atmospheres, or under water.

› Set up the device in a spacious area on an even,

stable, clean, non-slip, dry and ﬁreproof surface.

› The feet of the device must be clean and undamaged.

› Check the device and accessories for damage before each use.

Do not use damaged components.

Caution! ( )

Device surface is partially made of glass!

› Glass surface can be damaged by impact.

› If glass surface is damaged it could cause injury, don‘t use

the device anymore and contact your IKA Service team.

/// Permissible medium /

contaminants / side reactions

Warning! ( )

Beware of hazards due to:

› glass breakage.

› incorrect container size.

› overﬁlling of media.

› unsafe condition of container.

› Process pathogenic materials only in closed

vessels under a suitable fume hood.

Please contact IKA if you have any questions.

Danger! ( )

› Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra energy

produced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy pro-

duced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.

› Please consider any possible contaminations and unwanted

chemical reactions.

› It may be possible for wear debris from rotating accessory parts

to reach the material being processed.

› When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, the following has to be noted:

Chemical reactions of PTFE occur in contact with molten or solute alkali

metals and alkaline earth metals, as well as with ﬁne powders of metals in

groups 2 and 3 of the periodic system at temperatures above 300 °C –400 °C.

Only elementary ﬂuorine, chlorotriﬂuoride and alkali metals attack it; halo-

genated hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.

Safety instructions 1312 Safety instructions

/// Procedures during sample runs

Warning! ( )

Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the hazard

category of the media to be processed. There may be a risk from:

› splashing and evaporation of liquids.

› ejection of parts.

› release of toxic or combustible gases.

Reduce speed if:

› medium splashes out of vessel because the speed is too high.

› device is not running smoothly.

› container moves on the working plate.

› an error occurs.

/// Accessories

› Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories

described in the ”Accessories” chapter.

› Always disconnect the power before attaching accessories.

› Observe the operating instructions of the accessories.

› Accessories must be securely attached to the device so that

they cannot come off by themselves. The centre of gravity of

the assembly must lie within the surface on which it is set up.

/// Power supply / Switching off

Place the power supply outside the working area of the device.

› The voltage stated on the ratings plate must correspond to

the mains voltage.

› The outlet for the power supply must be easily accessible.

› The device can only be disconnected from main power by

unplugging the power supply from the outlet or removing the

connector plug at the unit.

Warning! ( )

› The device will automatically restart in mode b following

any interruption to the power supply.

Start-up 1716 Start-up

Start-up

/// Operation

Check whether the voltage given on the ratings plate corresponds to the

available mains voltage. If these conditions have been met, the device is

ready for operation when the power supply is plugged in. If these conditions

are not met, safe operation is not guaranteed and the device could be

damaged. Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.)

listed under “Technical data”.

General power supply information

When the power supply adapter is connected to the device, the device changes

to the standby mode, the red LED “Standby“ (B) is on and the display (C) will

not show any information.

A display self-test will be performed following any interruption to the power

supply. The display cycles through the following information:

1. All segments light up.

2. Software version.

3. The selected operating mode.

4. If the drive has not been started the display reads “OFF“.

5. If the drive has been started the selected speed is displayed

(only in operating mode b).

Power-up

1. Insert the power supply adapter into the power outlet (L).

2. The device is switched on and off via the “Power“ button (A).

Stirring

1. The stirring function is started and stopped by pressing

the “Start / Stop“ button (G).

2. Increase or reduce the speed from 0 rpm to 1,500 rpm (in 10 rpm

steps) by pressing the “+ / -“ buttons (H). Press and hold the “+ / -“

button (H) may quicken the adjustment of the speed.

› The display (C) will only show the set value. If the actual speed is

lower than the set speed, the set value on the display will be ﬂashing.

The set value on the display will stop ﬂashing once the actual speed

reaches the set speed.

/// Operating mode

To toggle between operating modes, press the “Reverse rotation“

button (I) for 2 seconds when the device is powered on.
