System Assembly
a. Install stand
The stand must be assembled according to the following instructions.
Adjust the height of the main unit, and the distance from main unit to the support holder by rotating the locking device. Anti-drop protector can be adjusted up or down, ensure the locking position is suitable for fixing the main unit, and then attach the main unit to the stand.

Trial Running
Follow the instructions below to trial operate:
- Place the overhead stirrer in safe and stable surface
- Ensure the required operating voltage and power supply voltage matched.
- Ensure the socket must be earthed reliably.
- Counter-clockwise rotate the speed control button to the end before switch on instrument.
- Connect the power cable, ensure the power on and switch ON instrument.
- Clockwise rotate the speed control button to the target speed value, and start stirring function.
- Counter-clockwise rotate the speed control button to stop stirring function.
- Turn the unit off by pressing the switch.
If these operations above are normal, the instrument is ready to operate. If not, the instrument may be damaged during transportation, please contact technical support of manufacturer/supplier.
Note:
Do not touch components of high-speed running instrument during operation to avoid damage and harm.
Overload protection
Overhead Stirrer works continuous, the motor current is electronically limited to achieve security stall and overload protection. When the torque reaches limited value, overload protection function will be started. At the same time overload protection light flashes.
- Starts overload protection
- When the setting speed value does not match the current medium viscosity, starts overload protection.
- When the motor output shaft is stuck.
- Refer to Chapter 8 for the solutions of overload protection and motor protection.
Faults
Instrument con not be powered ON when start stirring function.
- Check whether the power cable is connected.
Stirring function suddenly stop.
- Overload protection light changed to red, display area shows “Er 03”, indicate the current failure is “overload protection”. When the setting speed value does not match medium viscosity that caused overload protection, should be first switching OFF the instrument. Switch ON the instrument after lowered setting speed value. If overhead protection continues starting, then repeat the process and gradually reduce the speed.
- Overload protection light changed to red, display area shows “Er 04”, indicate the current failure is “motor protection”. When the motor output shaft is stuck caused motor protection, should be first switching OFF the instrument, remove the power cable, remove the block material, and then switch ON the instrument to start stirring function.
If these faults are not resolved, please contact manufacturer/supplier.
Maintenance and Cleaning
- Proper maintenance can keep instruments working properly and lengthen its lifetime.
- Do not spray cleanser into the instrument when cleaning.
- Do not remove the power line when cleaning.
- Only use recommended cleansers:
Dyes | Isopropyl alcohol |
Construction materials | Water containing tenside / Isopropyl alcohol |
