Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the safety features of IKA's laboratory equipment, specifically magnetic stirrers, which comply with various safety standards such as DIN EN IEC 61010-1, 61010-2-010, 61010-2-051, and 61326-1. These standards ensure the protection of both the user and the sample during laboratory operations.
Key Safety Features:
  • Independent Control Circuits: An additional safety circuit on the hot plate prevents the medium's critical temperature from being exceeded, even if the primary temperature sensor fails.
  • Locking Function: Prevents accidental changes to speed and temperature settings, with adjustable safety circuits.
  • Safety Glass: Displays are made with hardened, chemical-resistant glass to ensure durability and safety.
  • Overheating Protection: Automatically reduces heat output if internal temperatures exceed safe levels to protect electronic components.
Additional Safety Measures:
  • Automatic Self-Monitoring: All safety-relevant components have self-monitoring functions to ensure safety in case of breakdowns.
  • Temperature Warning: Devices provide warnings if the hot plate temperature exceeds 50°C, even when switched off, to alert users of residual heat.
  • Custom Safety Temperature: Users can manually adjust the maximum allowable temperature to ensure sample safety, preventing the medium's flashpoint from being reached.
Product Information: The document lists various IKA magnetic stirrer models with their identification numbers, emphasizing the integrated safety features across the product range.

IKA  - Integrated Safety-2

HEAT SAFELY III Integrated Safety protects both sample and user Safety is the highest priority for IKA. Our products meet the highest safety standards to protect all users of our devices in the laboratory: They have CE certifications and meet all the requirements described in commonly used standards such as DIN IEC EN 61010-1, DIN IEC EN 61010-2-010, DIN EN IEC 61010-2-051 or DIN IEC EN 61326-1. High temperatures are often experienced during laboratory work with magnetic stirrers. This is precisely where special safety precautions are required. Our safety concept Integrated Safety protects the...

IKA  - Integrated Safety-3

Independent control circuits In addition to the sensors which directly measure the sample and the hot plate, Integrated Safety also provides an additional, absolutely independent, safety circuit on the hot plate. This ensures that the critical temperature of the medium can never be exceeded – even when the temperature sensor in the medium or in the heating element is defective or fails completely. Safety glass Locking function A locking function prevents accidental changes to the set speed and temperature values. Safety circuits are also adjustable. The latest generation of our magnetic stirrers...

IKA  - Integrated Safety-4

Automatic self-monitoring All safety-relevant components have a self-monitoring function. This guarantees safety in case of breakdown. Temperature warning The magnetic stirrer with heating function delivers an automatic warning as soon as the residual heat of the hot plate exceeds 50 °C when the heating is switched off. RET control-visc, RCT digital, and C-MAG digital and control displays the hot plate temperature when it is above 50 °C, even when the device is switched off, to inform the user the plate is still hot. Safety functions at a glance Setting the required temperature is simple. This...

IKA  - Integrated Safety-5

Custom safety temperature Since every sample is different, it is possible to individually set the maximum temperature allowed to ensure its safety. Integrated Safety from IKA ensures that the respective flashpoint of the medium used is not reached, independently of any device defects, glass breakages, or physical effects such as thermal distortion. Adjust your individual safety temperature device as follows: A small tool is provided as an accessory for all IKA laboratory devices with Integrated Safety which you can manually adjust the safety temperature for every laboratory procedure. The screw...
