Proper use

The IKA RH basic 2; RH KT; RH basic KT/C or the IKA RH digi-
tal KT/C is a stirring instrument with heating function. It is used
in e.g. laboratories of the chemical industry, in scools as well
as in pharmacies. The instrument is suitable for tempering sub-
staces which are placed on the heating plate in vessels. By
means of a built-in stirring drive and with the help of a magne-
tic bar within the vessel, the substances can be stirred at the
same time. The mixing intensity is dependent on the motor
speed and on the size of the magnetic bar. The Der RH basic
KT/C and RH digital KT/C also has a contact thermometer
connection in compliance with requirements of DIN 12 878
and an adjustable safety circuit.

Unpacking

damages. It is important that any damages which may have arisen
12
during transport are ascertained when unpacking. If applicable a
fact report must be set immediately (post, rail or forwarder).
The delivery scope covers: an RH basic 2 / RH basic KT/C or RH
digital KT/C and operating instructions.
Commissioning
Check whether the voltage specified on the type plate matches
the mains voltage available. The power socket used must be ear-
thed (protective earth conductor contact). Before tuning on the
machine, adjust the turn dial for controlling the spped so that it is
against the left stop. If these conditions are met, the device is
ready to operate after plugging in the mains plug. If these proce-
dures are not followed, safe operation cannot be guaranteed
and/or the equipment may be damaged.
Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.)
listed under Technical Data.
