26 Initial Operation
3.4 Operating stirrer
Precautionary measure
This equipment is the source for a strong magnetic field interfering with objects up to a distance of 50 cm
from the laboratory stirrer. It is therefore recommended to be careful when approaching the stirrer with
magneto-sensitive objects such as electronic data carriers (discs, bank cards), mechanical wristwatches or
pacemakers, etc.!
People with pacemakers or implanted coronar defibrillator:
CAUTION! Risk of interference resulting from a magnetic field!
CAUTION, magnetic field!
Keep away magneto-sensitive objects!
Use a support frame to prevent the stirrer vessel from slipping off the heating zone, if required
(see "6 Accessories")
