3. Function controls
With the unit switched on by the general switch, use the knob on the front control
panel of the unit to select the speed desired.
NOTE
Each time the unit is switched on it automatically starts up in “Sensor or
Touch” mode depending on the version.
To change operation mode to continuous start up, push the button on the front
control panel (“Continuous-Sensor” for the Wizard model and “Continuous-Touch
for the Classic model). When the continuous start up mode is selected the
indicator light next to the button comes off.
In this way the mixing cup head is always functioning at the speed set by the
relative knob.
3.1 Wizard
Model
Mixing starts automatically when the tube crosses the sensor field (infrared optical
system). The sensor field has been purposely designed to detect the presence of
any kind of tube to be mixed.
Fig. 3 shows the sensor field of the Wizard model. By selecting automatic
“
Sensor
” mode with the button on the front panel (indicator light on) mixing starts
automatically when the tube enters the shaded area, without the need for any
pressure on the cup head.

NOTE
Vortex Mixer Wizard enables you to mix tubes without exerting pressure on
the cup head, thus reducing effort by the operator. Remember however to
hold the tube tightly during mixing
