Installation; Securing The Extension Arm To The Overhead Stirrer; Securing The Overhead Stirrer To The Stand; Securing The Stirring Element Using The Chuck - VWR VOS 60 control Mode D'emploi

Installation

• Securing the extension arm to the overhead stirrer

Diagram
Ensure that the extension arm is fitted securely.
Vibration may cause the screw to become loose. It is therefore necessary for safe use to occasionally check that the ex-
tension arm is attached securely. Tighten the hexangular bolt as required.

• Securing the overhead stirrer to the stand

Diagram
First secure the cross sleeve (H) to the stand (I). Then secure the extension arm (J) of the overhead stirrer in the open side
of the cross sleeve which is facing upwards. Once you have set the position required for the stirring procedure, firmly
tighten the two clamping bolts (G).
Check that the stirrer is held in position firmly prior to each use and also at regular intervals. The position of the stirrer
must only be adjusted when the equipment is stationary and the power supply is disconnected.

• Securing the stirring element using the chuck

Diagram
Slide the stirring element (M) into the chuck (L). Tighten the chuck firmly using the chuck key (K).
The stirring element must only be changed when the equipment is stationary and the power supply is disconnected.

• Securing the stirring shaft protector

Diagram
Use a stirring shaft protector (Q), e.g. R 301, to provide protection against injury when working with the instrument.
Use the bolts (U) to attach the plastic half-shell pieces to the stirrer (T), as shown in Fig. 5. The screw (S) can be used to
adjust the length of the stirring shaft protector.
Check that the stirring shaft protector is held in position securely prior to each use and also at regular intervals. The
position of the stirring shaft protector must only be adjusted when the equipment is stationary and the power supply is
disconnected.

• Securing the mixing vessel to the stand

Diagram
First fix the cross sleeve (H) to the stand (I).
Then attach the bracket (Z) of the strap clamp in the open side of the cross sleeve which is facing upwards according to
the position of stirrer and the mixing vessel, firmly tighten the two clamping bolts (G).
Clamp the mixing vessel (V) with the flexible clamping band (W) and secure the flexible band (W) by means of the clamp-
ing lever (X).

• Securing the Wireless Controller (WiCo) to the stirrer

Diagram
Attach the Wireless Controller (WiCo) to the charging contact provided on the station, and bolt it to the VOS 60 control
station with the screw (P).

• Connection of the temperature sensor, USB and RS232 cables to the stirrer

Diagram
The USB, RS 232 or temperature sensor cable should be plugged into the appropriate port after the covers have been
removed as shown in Fig. 6.
Once the VOS 60 control has been connected to the PC using the USB data cable, it will then transmit information to
the Windows operating system to tell it which device drivers are required. Windows will then either:
- Load the driver
- Install the driver automatically, if it is not already installed
- Prompt the user to perform a manual installation
