GENERAL INFORMATION
oHandle this unit with care. Unpack and check that the contents coincide
with the packing-list. If any part is damaged or missing, please advise the
distributor immediately.
oDo not install or use this equipment without first reading this manual.
oThis manual should always be attached to the equipment and made
available to all users.
oIf you have any doubts or inquiries, please contact your supplier or
Eberbach Corporation technical service.
Weight/Speed Considerations:
Maximum load and maximum speed specifications for Eberbach shakers are
established both as a guide to ensure long operational life of the units and as
safety parameters for the operator. When shaking heavy loads at higher
speeds always monitor the progress of the shaking action for a few minutes.
Pay particular attention to the stability of the load as objects may shake loose
from the platform/box carrier if not properly secured. Always turn the shaker off
before adding, adjusting or removing items. Be mindful that solid masses will
affect the shaker differently than will the same mass of a fluid. If you have any
concerns about your shaking protocol please call Eberbach technical support.
OPERATION
The Eberbach orbital shaker catalog # E6140.00 features:
oA continuously variable speed range, adjustable between 30 and 350 rpm/min
with stock orbit set to .75”(19.0mm).
oAn Oriental BLDC Motor Drive for quiet operation and low maintenance.
oA digital tachometer and timer for simple and accurate use.
oA maximum shaking weight of 50lbs (23kg) at high speed (with stock .75”
(19.0mm) orbit diameter).
Contact Eberbach Corporation Technical Support for other stroke setting
weight limits.

1) Power Switch
2) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
3) Directional Pad (D-Pad)
4) Enter Button
5) Cursor
Operation: Press the Power Switch down into the ON position. The
LCD should light up and show the main menu. There are three different
run modes to choose from. Select a run mode by moving the Cursor
(using the D-PAD) and press the Enter Button.

Run Mode: The shaker will begin the run mode at its lowest speed.
The speed shown in parenthesis (xxxx) is the set speed controlled by
the user. The speed listed to the right is the tachometer read out or the
actual speed of the shaker in real time. The speed can be
increased/decreased by pressing and holding the up/down arrows on
the D-PAD. The longer the button is held down the faster the speed will
increase/decrease. Once engaged the timer will begin counting all the
way up to 999 hours before the timer overflows back to zero. To pause
the shaker move the Cursor to the PAUSE item by pressing the left
arrow on the D-PAD and press the Enter Button. The clock will pause
at its current time and the shaker will gradually come to a complete stop.
The clock and shaker can be resumed at its current time and speed by
selecting RESUME and pressing the Enter Button. To go back to the
main menu move the Cursor to the EXIT item by pressing the right
arrow on the D-PAD and then press the Enter Button.

Timed Run Mode: The timed run mode features a count down timer
that automatically shuts the shaker off when the time runs out. When
selected the user will be taken to the Timed Run Setup Menu and will
need to input the run time in hours, minutes, seconds and select the
speed for the run. The left/right arrows on the D-PAD can be used to
move the cursor between hours, minutes or seconds and the up and
down arrows can be used to set the time. The longest run time allowed
is 999:59:59. Once the time is set move the Cursor down by pressing
the right arrow on the D-PAD until the Cursor is next to the RPM line
item. The speed can be set using the up and down arrows on the D-
PAD. Now that the data is set navigate the Cursor to the START line
item using the left/right arrows on the D-PAD and press the Enter
Button.

After selecting START the shaker will begin at the selected speed and
the timer will begin counting down. The speed can be adjusted in real
time using the up/down arrows on the D-PAD. The speed shown in
parenthesis is the target speed controlled by the user and the speed
listed to the right is the actual speed as read by the tachometer. The
shaker and countdown timer can be paused and resumed. Move the
Cursor to the line item PAUSE by pressing the left arrow on the D-PAD
and then press the Enter Button. Exiting the Timed Run Menu will
bring the user back to the Timed Run Setup Menu.

Speed Run Mode: The speed run allows the user to program in a set
run speed. Once engaged the timer will begin counting all the way up to
999 hours before the timer overflows back to zero. Select the speed run
mode from the main menu and press the Enter Button. The user will
be prompted with the speed run setup menu. Set the desired speed
using the up/down arrows on the D-PAD. The left/right arrows can be
used to move the Cursor between START and EXIT. EXIT will take the
user back to the main menu. Keep the Cursor next to the START line
item and press the Enter Button.
The user will now be taken to the speed run menu. The shaker will
begin at the speed selected in the setup menu. The speed run menu
behaves in the same way as the run menu with one exception. Pressing
EXIT will not take the user back to the main menu instead pressing EXIT
will take the user back to the speed run setup menu.

Restoring the Factory Settings:
During the course of operation the machine may need to be reset to
its factory settings. To do so the user must press and hold the green
Enter Button. Next the user must turn the Power Switch on, while
continuing to hold the Enter Button. After a few seconds the user will
be presented with the utilities menu.
Navigate the Cursor to the top line item marked “1. Presets Rev_XX”
and press the Enter Button. The user will now be presented with the
presets menu.

The Cursor should be next to the line item “Model : xxxx” use the
up/down arrow buttons, on the D-PAD, to select E6140. The models are
listed numerically with the smallest numbers at the bottom and the
largest numbers at the top. If the line reads “Model: Empty” then press
and hold the down arrow button to get back into the model numbers.
Once the user has selected the correct model number, press the right
arrow button on the D-PAD. Use the up arrow button on the D-PAD to
change the motor setting to “Oriental.” Navigate the Cursor down to the
save line item by pressing the right arrow button on the D-PAD. Press
the Enter Button to save the preset settings. The user will now be back
at the utilities menu. Navigate the Cursor down to the last line item “4.
Exit” and press the Enter Button. The machine has now been reset to
its factory settings.
Note: There may be instances when the memory can become corrupt
even though the presets menu appears to be correct. The problem can
result in false speed values during run operation. If the user navigates
to the preset menu and the settings match the picture shown above,
navigate the Cursor down to save and press the Enter Button
anyways. This will ensure that the maximum and minimum speed
values are correct.

Note: All run menus will have two speeds listed. The leftmost speed
will be displayed inside parenthesis. This is the target speed controlled
by the user. The shaker will attempt to match this speed and should do
so within ten seconds after making an adjustment. The rightmost speed
is the tachometer reading, which shows the user what the shaker is
actually running at. The tachometer reading will not necessarily match
the target speed at all times, but is guaranteed to be within +/- 1% RPM.
Note: Reciprocating shakers will display OSC (oscillations) instead of
RPM (revolutions per minute).
Note: Use slowest speed necessary to produce required shaking
action.
Note: Do not rotate machine by hand as doing so may corrupt the
digital memory and require a factory reset.
If you have any doubts or inquiries concerning operation contact your
supplier or Eberbach Corporation technical service.
LOADING:
It is impossible to outline the exact limitations for loading a shaker, as resulting
shaking action is dependent upon several factors. Principal among these is the size
and shape of the containers, speed, orbit radius, and the amount and type of
material being shaken.
Basic considerations should be:
•Use lowest speed consistent with the required shaking action.
