SAFETY INFORMATION
Please comply with all safety and accident-prevention regulations as in force
for laboratory work!
Use extra care when working with flamable substances; refer to safety data
sheets.
Use extra care when working in the vicinity of flamable and explosive
substances. Motors are of non-sparking type, the item itself however is not
explosion-proof.
When connecting your item with your local power supply, please make sure
your item is designed for your local voltage; go by the data plate on the item.
Please connect your unit with a protective-ground outlet only.
Turn your power switch OFF whenever the item is not used, or before
disconnecting the plug.
Repair work is limited to technicians approved by Heidolph Instruments.
Your item needs a solid stand.
Lab bench needs to be of rigid design, and features an anti-skid surface coat.
Before starting the item, make sure all vessels are attached safely (must not
move while shaking).
SET-UP
1. Set-up
Please locate the shaker on a stable, horizontal surface. For reasons of safety, keep the area
around the machine clear of other items.
Be aware of orbital movement of the shaker plate and vessel set-ups protruding over the
standard table surface.
2. Electric hook-up
Use the power cord from your hardware bag and connect it with the plug connector in the
item's rear panel.
The item features two-pole circuit breakers located in the ite's plug connector for ease of
access. For circuit breaker details refer to data plate.
3. Secure vessels on shaker plate
Use optional adapter to secure vessels on shaker plate. Adapters with clamping rollers for a
variety of flasks, beakers, and test tubes are available. Microtiter plates fit nests on the
shaker plate, no optional holders required.
In special cases, and at low shaking speed, e.g. Petridishes may be located on the anti-skid
rubber plate that comes with your item as standard option.

17
E
Before starting shaking, make sure vessels and the like properly are secured on
the shaker plate.
3.1. TITRAMAX 100 / TITRAMAX 101 / TITRAMAX 1000
Microtiter plates are loaded in nests of the rubber plate shipped with your shaker as a
standard option. They are positively locked in these nests, the rubber plate itself can be
replaced at ease.
3.2. VIBRAMAX 100 / ROTAMAX 120 / adapter with clamping rollers
Vessels are located on an anti-skid rubber plate, shipped with the machine. The rubber
plate itself can be replaced at ease.
Vessels can be secured by an optional adapter with clamping rollers either. Standard
kit includes 2 ea. clamping rollers. Extra clamping rollers can be ordered under
P/N 11-008-007-08.
This adapter is installed on the shaker plate and secured with screws from your
hardware bag.

3.3. VIBRAMAX 110 / test tube adapters
Test tube are seated on the rubber plate by hand.
Several test tubes may be shaken the same time, using the optional test tube adapters.
These adapters are secured on the shaker table with wingbolts. Test tubes are plugged
into "collets".
OPERATION AND CONTROLS
Before connecting power cord with mains outlet, make sure that:
- your item is designed for your local voltage and frequency (data plate on item).
- master switch is set to "0" and all controls are in "min." position (turn CCW
completely); this way you avoid spilling fluids by too intense shaking action.
Carefully close your flasks and select appropiate shaking intensity (if flasks remain
open) to avoid splashes and spillage.
We recommend to start with low shaking speed and gradually increase frequency
to avoid accidential shaking at high speed.

On principle, one single flask should be arranged in the middle of the shaker plate,
whereas more flasks should be distributed equally on the plate.
At high loads (load bearing capacity of shaker plate) and high frequency of
shaking, always make reference to load graph as aplicable for your item (refer to
"Specifications" section).
When handling hazardous fluids, make reference to applicable safety information.
All shakers
The control panel features the following controls (from right to left):
A 2-pole master switch (lighted green)
B continuous / timer select
C speed setting knob
D timer setting knob
1. Turn item ON with master switch (A).
2. Set shaker frequency with speed setting knob (C).
3. Select continuous / timer controlled operation with selector (B) (symbol )or timer
control (timer). In the timer mode, shaking action can be selected between 0 and 120
minutes; time elapsed, item will stop shaking, a buzzer sounds. The timer will continue
running even in case of power supply failure.
When using shakers inside conditioning cabinets, make reference to ambient
conditions as stipulated in the "Specifications" Section.
CLEANING & SERVICING
Cleaning: wipe housing clean with a damp cloth (add some sort of mild liquid soap).
Note
To avoid damage to the surface finish, avoid using chlorine bleach, chlorine-
