Description

The RCT Classic magnetic stirrer stands for reliability, exceptionally long product lifetimes and the highest safety standards.

RCT Classic is suitable for stirring tasks up to 20L (H2O) and reaches a hotplate temperature of up to 310°C. With the connection option for an external temperature sensor (PT 1000.60 included in delivery), the temperature can be measured and controlled directly in the reaction medium.

Thanks to perfect insulation of the aluminium heating plate, maintenance-free EC motor and electronic switching power supply, RCT Classic features excellent energy efficiency as well as reduced self-heating of the heating plate during stirring operation, thus contributing to a more sustainable laboratory.

Features and Benefits:

Tempered shatterproof glass surface for optimal chemical resistance and easy cleaning
Largest display in its class with easy-to-read LED display
Illuminated symbols for displaying important status information (set and actual temperature, heating status, temperature sensor)
Easily accessible main switch on the front of the device
Safe, robust and compliant with standards

RCT Classic contains the proven safety features for IKA magnetic stirrers. In accordance with the DIN EN 61010-2-010 standard, it meets all safety requirements for laboratory equipment for heating substances and is therefore also suitable for unattended operation.

Tested and certified by TÜV SÜD according to standard IEC 61010-1 (cTÜVus)

Adjustable hotplate temperature safety circuit (with tool)

Confirmation mode (operating mode D) prevents the unintentional change of the set setpoints. A restart, the confirmation of the safety temperature is necessary.

Automatic switch-off of the temperature control function if the connected external temperature sensor is not immersed in the medium or is defective.

Enclosed design (protection class IP 42) guarantees long service life, even under extreme conditions in the laboratory

Reliable operation even with cold media. Extended temperature display down to -20°C (with external sensor)

Protected electronic connections on the back of the device

Fireproof die-cast aluminium housing with high quality and durable powder coating

DIN socket 12878 for connecting and electronic contact thermometer, e.g. ETS-D5 for high-presence temperature control.

Proven technology

Heating plate made of aluminium for optimal and homogenous heat transfer

Excellent magnetic coupling

Soft start prevents magnetic stirrer bars from breaking off during start phase

Two optimised temperature control modes ensure fast heating or precise temperature control without overshooting

Push and turn buttons for independent adjustment of the setpoints and starting/stopping of temperature and speed
