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.

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 +/- 5 RPM when calibrated correctly. Tachometer will
need to be recalibrated after belt changes or excessive belt wear.
See following page for Calibration information.
Note: Reciprocating shakers will display OSC (oscillations) instead
of RPM (revolutions per minute).
Note: Use slowest speed necessary to produce required shaking
action.

To calibrate the tachometer system follow these steps:
Step 1 Hold down the Green Enter Button and power the machine on to access
the utilities menu
Step 2 Select the “Tests Menu” and press the Enter Button.
Step 3 Select the “Calibration” item and press the Enter Button.

Step 4 Make sure the machine is empty and ready to be run at maximum speed.
Select “Yes” and press the Enter Button.
Step 5 Machine will now run at maximum speed for one minute. You will see
the tachometer scaling ratio displayed on top and the DAC (Digital to Analog
Converter) set point displayed on the bottom. The RPM (####) is your target
speed. The RPM on the right side is the tachometer reading. You will need to
monitor this value and compare it with your “Calibration Test Kit.” The
“Calibration Test Kit” will show the TRUE RPM reading of the machine.

Step 6 Use the up and down arrows to input your TRUE RPM reading. Select
“Save” and press the Enter Button. Your Machine Tach Ratio will be adjusted to
match the TRUE RPM reading. This should be capable of +/- 5 RPM of your
“Calibration Test Kit.”
The calibration is now complete. The tachometer should maintain its accuracy
until your next belt replacement.
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. Principle among these is the
size and shape of the containers, speed, length of stroke, and the amount and
type of material being shaken.
Basic considerations should be:
•Use lowest speed consistent with the required shaking action.
•At higher speed use less weight on the platform.
•At lower speeds, weight on platforms and/or length of stroke can be increased
up to 50lbs Maximum.
•When using one platform tiered above the other, place equal load on each, or
if it is possible, place heavier mass on lower platform and lighter on the top. If
shaking action imparts a “whip” to the upper platform, then either the speed is
too high or the load is too heavy on that platform.
•If shaker has tendency to “walk” on floor, then rubber suction cup feet should
be secured to the floor using rubber or contact cement.
For optimum operation of this shaking apparatus and for long trouble-free life, it
is recommended that a minimum load be placed in the shaker when used.
Good judgment in the selection of the factors will contribute to proper use of the
shaker.
OILING AND ALL MAINTENANCE CAN BE PERFORMED BY REMOVING
EITHER THE FRONT OR REAR HOUSING PANEL.
BELT INSPECTION:
Inspect belts at each oiling period and replace if broken or if the cords are
exposed and frayed. Small outer fabric breaks are not harmful.
BELT ADJUSTMENT:
The motor belt driving the 9" idler pulley may stretch and become loose after a
short time in operation, or the replacement belt may be a slightly different length.
To adjust the belts, first run the shaker and dial in to the slowest speed. Turn off
the shaker and prop up shaker so bottom fasteners are accessible. Then
remove the front panel. Near the center of the bottom will be four hex head cap
screws that hold the motor. Loosen the four hex head cap screws holding the
motor and adjust the motor belt to proper tightness. Tighten the motor screws,
but do not tighten either belt to the point where the bearings will be overloaded.
When a belt is tight, the operator should be able to press lightly on the middle of
the belt and cause it to bow in an amount equal to the width of the belt.
Contact Eberbach Tech Support [phone] for instructions on replacement
of belt between idler assembly and crankshaft assembly.

LUBRICATION:
See exploded view of shaker power unit for points of lubrication. Use a good
grade of SAE #30 oil.
Lubrication when shaker is used in continuous duty applications of 100 hours or
more:
A. Oil crank bearing through hole in center of bearing bracket every 3 months.
B. Oil the 8 bearings located at the top and bottom of each of the 4 rocker arms
every 3 months. Place oil on the shaft next to the bearing.
C. Oil the connecting rod bearings every 3 months. Place oil on the shaft next to
the bearing at the upper end and at the crank end of the connecting rod.
Lubrication when shaker is used for intermittent duty:
A. Oil crank bearing through hole in center of bearing bracket every 6 months.
B. Oil the 8 bearings located at the top and bottom of each of the 4 rocker arms
every 6 months. Place oil on the shaft next to the bearing.
C. Oil the connecting rod bearings every 6 months. Place oil on the shaft next to
the bearing at the upper end and at the crank end of the connecting rod.
