microprocessor control of shaking speed and time with flexible capacity and a compact, space-saving design. The unit is ideal for soluability studies, extraction procedures, diagnostic tests, general mixing, bacterial suspensions, staining, destaining and washing procedures. The shaker incorporates a %" (1.9cm) orbit with a triple eccentric, counterbalanced drive mechanism to provide uniform, vibration-free shaking at any speed. Shaker speed range is 15 to 500 rpm; however, maximum safe speed for a load may be less than 500 rpm. Timing can be selected in intervals of 0.1 to 99.9 minutes or hours. In addition, unit can be set for continuous operation with "time elapsed" indication. The built-in memory maintains set points and automatically resumes operation after power is interrupted. The unit accomodates an assortment of platforms in three sizes: 13" x 11" (33 x 28cm), 18" x 18" (46 x 46cm) and 1 8 x 24" (46 x 61 cm). Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

examine for any shipping damage before unpacking. If damage is discovered, the delivering carrier should both specify and sign for the damage on your copy of the delivery receipt. Open the carton carefully making certain that all parts are accounted for before packaging materials are discarded-after unpacking, if damage is found promptly report it to the carrier and request a damage inspection promptly. IMPORTANT: Failure to request an inspection of damage within a few days after receipt of shipment absolves the carrier from any liability for damage: you must call for a damage inspection promptly. PLATFORM INSTALLATION: Select the appropriate platform for the vessels to be shaken. Tighten the 4 thumbscrews to secure the platform to the shaker. Make sure both sides of the platform are outside the mounting plate. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: The unit is supplied with a 3-wire line cord and should be connected to an outlet designed for 3-prong plugs. If an extension cord is used, it also should be the 3-wire grounded type (AWG No. 16). NOTE: WHERE IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO MAKE CHANGES IN ELECTRICAL OUTLETS, WIRING AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THESE BE DONE ONLY BY A QUALIFIED OR JOURNEYMAN ELECTRICIAN. THIS INCLUDES REPLACING 2- PRONG PLUGS (UNGROUNDED), FOR EXAMPLE, WITH A 3-PRONG PLUG (GROUNDED). ALL CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE TO MATCH THE LOAD REQUIREMENTS SHOWN ON THE NAMEPLATE OF THE UNIT. NOTE: IT IS BEST TO LEAVE UNIT DISCONNECTED WHEN NOT IN USE. Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

IBLE MATERIALS OR EXPLOSIVE GASES; DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE OF PRESSURIZED OR SEALED CONTAINERS-FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY. POWER ONIOFF SWITCH: After following instructions in Installation section and being certain that the unit is connected to a power source meeting the designation on the nameplate, use Power switch to turn on the unit. The speed control and timer modules on the control panel will illuminate. SPEED CONTROL: This module provides a 3-digit readout of the speed of rotation up to a maximum rpm of 500. Use the up and down buttons to set the desired shaking speed. The start button will initiate the shaking action; however, do not use until all containers have been secured in place on the platform and have been stoppered, if necessary. It is recommended that shaking action be started at less than the required speed, in order to check that all containers are secure, not contacting each other and that no spilling of contents can occur. If, for any reason, the unit exceeds the set speed by 125%, an overspeed legend appears in this module and shuts the shaker down. The speed setpoint may be altered at any time during the operation. TIMER: The timer module allows 3 selections: (1) timing of the shaking action up to 99.9 minutes, (2) timing of the shaking action up to 99.9 hours, or (3) shaking operation can be selected as continuous. Use the up and down keys to select the set time. Selections made will illuminate as a legend in this module. An LED readout will show the time remaining and stop the shaker when the set time has timed out. (Timer mode only) The timing interval can be changed at any time during the shaking action For example, if the original selection is 1.5 minutes and 0.5 minutes have elapsed when a new timing interval of 4.0 minutes is entered, the timer will subtract the 0.5 minutes already elapsed and show 3.5 as remaining. Conversely, if the original selection is 1.5 minutes and 0.5 minutes have elapsed when a new timing interval of 1.0 minutes is entered, the timer will subtract the 0.5 minutes already elapsed and show 0.5 minutes as remaining.

SHAKE AND THE TIMER DISPLAY REMAINS AT 99.9 NOTE: THE SHAKER DOES NOT OPERATE IF THE TIMER IS SET AT 00.0. STARTING THE SHAKING ACTION: Once the timing selection has been made, press the start button in the speed control module to initiate the shaking action. If, for any reason, shaking action needs to be stopped, press the stop button in the speed control module. AC POWER LOSS: The operating microprocessor possesses a non-volatile memory. Upon resumption or recovery from an AC power loss, the following will be noted: 8 All readouts will flash until any key is pressed. 8 If unit was shaking at the time of power failure, it will resume operation at the speed and timer settings that were entered at the time that AC power failed. 8 In the event of a speed sensor problem, the speed readout will display EEE and shaking will stop. The unit must be disconnected from power source for a minimum of 3 seconds before being reset. If the problem persists, contact local Lab-Line dealer for assistance. MICROPROCESSOR LOCK-UP: In the event that microprocessor lock-up should occur, use the following procedure to solve the problem: 8 Disconnect unit from power source. Leave the power switch ON. 8 Press both the SPEED UP button and the TIMER DOWN buttons and HOLD them. 8 While continuing to hold the 2 buttons, plug unit back into wall outlet. 8 Reset is now accomplished. Microprocessor lock-up conditions are generally caused by disturbances on the AC line. It would be helpful to install a line filter or conditioner between the AC line and the unit to prevent the situation from occurring again. Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (with every 3 months of constant use): NOTE: THE SHAKING MECHANISM IS EQUIPPED WITH GREASE-SEALED BALL BEARINGS WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE FURTHER LUBRICATION OR ADJUSTMENT. Remove the platform by loosening 4 thumbscrews, remove ribbed mat, remove the 9 smaller screws on the platform mounting plate and then lift it from the unit (see below). lns~ect the drive belt for wear and proper tension. 0rd& a replac&neni if necessary. PLATFORM MOUNTING PLATE (Top View): 3 PHILLIPS SCREWS AT EACH OF 3 BEARING MOUNTS = 9 SCREWS Take out the 2 large motor mount screws and lift the motor out. 2 brushes are located under plastic caps on opposite sides of the lower part of the motor. Unscrew the plastic caps and slide the brushes out. Replace brushes when they are worn down to 3/16" in length. Reattach the motor loosely to the motor mount and install the drive belt. To properly tension the belt, slide the motor away from the driven pulley until there is .08" of slack on the belt at midpoint between the pulleys when a force of 3/4 Ib. is applied. Next, securely tighten the mounting screws. To correct a mis-aligned pulley, loosen the motor pulley setscrew, slide the pulley up or down into alignment, then securely tighten the motor pulley set-screw.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (with every 3 months of constant use):(Conlt) Reassemble the unit carefully. Position the platform mounting plate atop the shaker body and turn all 9 screws by hand until they are finger-tight only. Connect unit to correct power source and adjust the speed to 00.0 setting. From this setting, adjust speed to its slowest possible setting so that shaker is orbiting at its minimum rotation. While it is slowly orbiting, slightly tighten each of the A screws shown on previous page MN-2. Repeat this "slightly tightening" procedure with the B screws; then with the C screws. CAUTION: ALL SCREWS MUST FIRST BE SLIGHTLY TIGHTENED TO SEAT THE PLATE PROPERLY. Repeat the screw-tightening procedure until all 9 screws are securely tightened.
