1.0. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1. DEFINITION
Corning LSE Digital Microplate and Orbital Shakers are intended for shaking microplates, tubes,
bottles, flasks, dishes and other laboratory vessels. The shakers are driven by asynchronous motors,
which enable silent operation and constant shaking speed independent of the load or power supply
fluctuations.
1.2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Each shaker device consists of two main components:
- Motor with eccentric mechanism
- Control electronics
The motor drives the shaker’s eccentric mechanics and generates shaking effect.
The electronics control the motor RPM, TIME and keyboard functions.
2.0. TECHNICAL FEATURES
2.1. CONSTRUCTION
The shaker housing is made from a high-grade cold rolled steel plate and painted with a highly
resistant polyurethane lacquer.

3.0. INSTALLATION
3.1. UNPACKING
Before starting installation, carefully examine the shaker for damage or missing parts.
Open the box and lift the device together with inner packing, out of the box.
Remove the inner packing and check that the shaker has not been visibly damaged during
transportation. Keep the packing material until you are sure that the shaker works properly.
Check information on the rear data label and verify the correct electrical rating:
- Model
- Serial Number
- Electrical rating
Should any kind of damage have occurred during transportation, immediately notify the carrier. The
carrier is responsible for correcting damage caused in shipment.
3.2. SELECTING A SUITABLE LOCATION
When selecting a location for the shaker, please consider following:
Put the device on a smooth, horizontal and stable surface.
Leave enough space around the device for normal air circulation, minimally 10 cm.
Leave enough space around the device, so it can be easily controlled and maintained.
Don’t use the device in surroundings where there are major temperature and humidity
fluctuations. Also avoid locations in direct sun light or places near devices that produce heat.
Avoid locations with excessive vibrations.
3.3. ATTACHING POWER CORD
Fit the main power cord, which is included in the package, into the power receptacle on the shaker.
Connect the other end of the cord to a properly grounded wall outlet. To avoid interference from noise,
surges and spikes, a dedicated line is preferred. If no such line is available, avoid lines to which
powerful electric motors, refrigerators and similar devices are connected.
Take care when you plug the cord to a grounded wall socket. Do not touch
plug with wet hands. Plug the cord to a grounded wall socket only with dry
hand.
3.4. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The Corning’s digital shakers have been built for operating in both cold and heated laboratory
environments and in high humidity environments as follows:
At temperatures between 4C and +65C
In humidity up to 85% (without condensation)
4.0. INSTALLATION OF SHAKER PLATFORMS
4.1. MODEL 6780-4, 6781-4 AND 6782-4
Each of these models comes with the platform and 4 screws. Using a screw driver, attach the
platform firmly to the shaker base with the 4 included screws.

4.2. 6780-NP, 6781-NP AND 6782-NP.
The 6780-NP, 6781-NP and 6782-NP model shakers have available a variety of platforms to meet
most shaking needs. These platforms mount to the shakers via four mounting platforms which easily
plug into four rubber mount points on the top of the shaker.
