5.4.3. Setting temperature (Т, ºС). Using the and Т, ºС keys (Fig. 3/3) set the nec-
essary temperature (increment 0.1°C).
Caution! Heating/temperature maintenance process does not stop when the
timer is finished. Platform thermal regulation can be turned off only
by setting the required temperature below 25°C (TS-100) or 4°C (TS-
100C), top line shows indication OFF. In this mode, thermo-shaker
can be used in the cold rooms as a mixing device without thermoreg-
ulation.
5.5. Program execution. After the thermal stabilization of the thermo-shaker, i.e. when
the set and current temperature readings become the same:
5.5.1. Place samples on the platform.
Caution! Do not fill microtubes or microplates directly inside the unit.
5.5.2. Press the RPM RUN/STOP key (fig. 3/4). The platform will start rotating and the timer
indicator will start counting up the time interval (with 1 min precision).
Note! If the rotation speed is set to zero, pressing RPM RUN/STOP key will
start the timer but the platform will not move.
5.5.3. After finishing the program (after the set time elapses) the platform motion will stop
and the timer will show the flashing reading STOP accompanied by the repetitive
sound signal until the RPM RUN/STOP key is pressed.
5.6. If the working time is not set (or is reset) and the timer indicator in the upper line
shows 00:00, pressing the RPM RUN/STOP key will start continuous operation of the
device with countdown timer in the lower line (Actual) until the RPM RUN/STOP key
is pressed again.
5.7. If required, there is possibility to restart the timer when it is running. Press the TIME
RUN/STOP key once (fig. 3/5) to stop the timer. Press the TIME RUN/STOP key
again to restart the timer.
5.8. The platform motion can be stopped at any time by pressing the RPM RUN/STOP
key. In this case the program realization and the platform motion will stop and the
timer will switch into the STOP mode saving previously set time. Press the RPM
RUN/STOP key to repeat the operation with the same time and speed.
Caution! At the end of the set time period the platform movement is stopped
automatically, but the heating can be stopped only manually by re-
ducing the temperature using the T, °C key (Fig. 3/3 - lower key)
till the OFF sign appears in the upper line (Set) of the display
Caution! The platform remains hot after use. Please, take necessary care and
use protective cotton gloves to install or remove test samples when
set temperature is higher than 60°C.
5.9. After finishing the operation, set the Power switch, located on the rear panel of the
unit, in position O(Off) and disconnect the external power supply from electric circuit.
