Cooling:
• Ensure that the thermostat used for tempering is fully ef-
ficient. A defective thermostat can cause uncontrolled
reactions.
Using the adequate hoses for cooling
purposes.
Weighing:
Weighing function integrated into
the LR 1000 control feet. Unpack
and set up cautiously.
Maintenance:
• The feet of the equipment must be clean and undamaged.
• The device must only be opened by trained specialists,
even during repair. The device must be unplugged from
the power supply before opening. Live parts inside the in-
strument may still be live for some time after unplugging
from the power supply.
Covering or parts that are capable of
being removed from the unit with-
out accessory equipment have to be
reattached to the unit for safe operation in order to pre-
vent, for example, the ingress of fluids, foreign matter, etc..
Stirring and dispersing:
• Moving and rotating equipment parts also constitute a
hazard.
Rotating tools are dangerous! The
anchor stirrer and the dispersing el-
ement must only be operated when
the reactor vessel is fully closed. Do not start up the labo-
ratory reactor when it is open.
• If the dispersing element rotate when they are covered in
a product and the reactor is open, this will cause parts or
liquids to be projected outwards.
• Gradually increase the speed.
• The equipment may heat up by stirring.
Heating:
Risk of burns! Exercise caution when
touching the heating block and the
glass vessel. The cover of the ves-
sel could reach high temperature when you boil liquid for
long time. Pay attention to the residual heat after switch-
ing off.
Only process and heat up any me-
dia that has a flash point higher
than the adjusted safe temperature
limit that has been set (see section “Technical data“).
The safe temperature limit must always be set to at least
25 °C lower than the fire point of the media used.
• Use:
The IKA
®
LR 1000 system is a compact reactor system.
It has been designed to simulate and optimize chemical
reaction processes and can also be used for mixing, dis-
persion and homogenization in modeling processes.
Operating mode: Tabletop device.
• Range of use (indoor use only):
- Laboratories - Schools
- Pharmacies - Universities
Correct use
This equipment is suitable for use in all areas except:
- Residential areas
-
Areas that are connected directly to a low-voltage supply
network that also supplies residential areas.
The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:
- if the instrument is operated with accessories that are not
supplied or recommended by the manufacturer
- if the instrument is operated improperly or contrary to the
manufacturer’s specifications
- if the instrument or the printed circuit board are modified
