the shaker or part thereof which shall, within two years after date of shipment or
10,000 hours of operating time, whichever comes later, prove to be defective after
our examination. This warranty does not cover any loss of time, materials or
biological or biochemical by-products caused by any work interruption resulting
from shaker failure, nor does it extend to any Innova shaker which has been
subjected to misuse, neglect, accident or improper installation or application.
In addition, the warranty does not apply to any Innova shaker that has been
repaired or altered outside the NBS factory without prior authorization
from New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. After 10,000 hours of operating
time have elapsed, the Innova warranty may still be in effect as long as the
two-year minimum warranty period has not been reached. Operating
time is based on actual usage of the shaker, as determined by
the shaker’s internal electronic clock. Any tampering

2.1 General Description
The Innova 4000 Shaker incorporates a triple eccentric counter balanced drive to
provide horizontal plane rotary motion in a 3/4” (19 mm) circular orbit. A Proportional/
Integral (PI) Microprocessor controller with instantaneous digital feedback controls the
speed over a range of 25-500 RPM. It also provides temperature control over a range of
5°C above ambient to 60°C.; the Innova 4080 high temperature model provides
temperature control over a range of 5°C above ambient to 80°C. For lower
temperatures an optional cooling coil is available. The internal chamber is 19¾ inches
(50.2 cm) wide, 13¼ inches (33.6 cm) above the platform, and 19 inches (48.3 cm)
deep.
The shaker may be operated either continuously, or in a timed mode via a
programmable timer for shaking periods of 0.1 hour to 99.9 hours.
The Innova 4000 is equipped with audible and visible alarms which are activated when
an alarm condition exists, as follows:
•The end of a timed run
•Deviations of shaking speed or temperature outside of tolerance limits
A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 4000. Dedicated platforms are
available for a variety of flask sizes. A Universal platform and test tube racks are also
available (see Section 6.4 for Accessories).
Additionally, the Innova 4000 has analog outputs for a chart recorder to record speed
and/or temperature. See Section 5.6 for Recorder Adaptation.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 below show the front and rear views of the Innova 4000.
For safe operation, the Innova 4000 is provided with a safety switch which
automatically stops the shaker mechanism when the lid is lifted. Additionally, the lid
can be operated with one hand. The lid latches when fully opened for your security; an
upward lifting motion deactivates the latch for closing the lid.
A gassing manifold kit is also available for use with the Innova 4000 Shaker.
