/// Device setup

Danger!

› Please pay attention to the dangerous parts of the equipment in Fig� 1�

Danger!

› Do not use the device in explosive atmospheres, it is not EX-protected�

› With substances capable of forming an explosive mixture, appropriate safety measures must

be applied, e�g� working under a fume hood�

› To avoid body injury and property damage, observe the relevant safety and accident

prevention measures when processing hazardous materials�

Caution!

› Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean, non-slip, dry and ﬁreproof

surface�

› The feet of the device must be clean and undamaged�

› Overﬁlling with liquid may cause the medium to splash out� For this reason, only closed test

tubes should be used�

› Check the device and accessories for damage before each use� Do not use damaged

components�

› All screw connections must be properly tightened

/// Work with the device

› The device must only be used in a technically perfect condition�

Danger - Risk of burns!

› Exercise caution when touching parts of the housing and the heating plate�

› The heating plate can reach dangerous temperatures� Pay attention to the residual heat on

the heating plate after switching o the stirrer�

› The device may only be transported when the heating plate has cooled down

Danger!

› You must not touch any moving parts (danger of crushing, impacts and cuts, Fig� 1 points of

danger shown)

› Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the hazard category of the

media to be processed� There may be a risk from:

- splashing and evaporation of liquids,

- release of toxic or combustible gases,

- body parts, hair, clothing and jewelry getting caught�

› Reduce the speed if:

- the device is not running smoothly�

› The device may heat up when in use�

/// Permissible media/Contamination/Side reactions

Danger!

›

Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through processing�

This also applies to any extra energy produced in other ways, e�g� through light irradiation�

Warning!

› Beware of the risk of:

- glass breakage as a result of mechanical shaking power�

› Caution: Only media whose flashpoint lies above 170 °C may be processed or heated with

this device� (acc� to EN 61010-2-010)

/// Power supply / switching o the device

!Notice!

›

The specified settings on the rating plate must coincide with the actual mains supply�

› The device can only be disconnected from the mains supply by pulling out the mains plug or

the connector plug�

›The device must only be operated with the original power supply unit�

›

The outlet for the mains plug must be easily accessible�

› Socket must be earthed

› After an interruption to the power supply, the device does not start up again automatically

(factory settings)�

› The device is maintenance-free and must not be opened�

/// Maintenance

›

› Protect the device and accessories from bumping and impacting�

› Check the device and accessories beforehand for damage each time when you use them� Do

not use damaged components�

› Place the vessels securely on the shaking table or the selected insert�

›

The securing of the sample vessels and the securing of the inserts must be checked at regular

intervals, particularly before each recommissioning�

› Beware of hazards due to:

- flammable materials

- combustible media with a low boiling temperature

- glass breakage

- incorrect container size

- overfilling of media (in a beaker)

- unsafe condition of container�

!Notice!

› Covers or parts that can be removed from the device without tools must later be reﬁtted to

ensure safe operation� This will prevent the inﬁltration of foreign objects and liquids�

› Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels under a suitable fume hood�

Intended use

///

Use

The MATRIX ORBITAL DELTA shaker is used to mix liquids� These can be shaken in sample vessels

or sample plates, perhaps also using different inserts�

/// Range of use

Indoor environments similar to that of a laboratory in research, education, commerce or

industry�

The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:

›

if the device is operated with accessories that are not supplied or recommended by the

manufacturer�

›

if the device is operated improperly or contrary to the manufacture’s speciﬁcations�

›

if the device or the printed circuit board are modiﬁed by third parties�

Useful information

The device can be used with a wide range of applications in combination with dierent vessels�

!Notice!

› As the motor gives o heat, the mounting plate may heat up�

› Vibrations caused by the device can cause laboratory structures and equipment to vibrate�

For this reason you should pay special care to ensure a stable mounting plate and make sure

vessels cannot slip, to make sure that unwanted vibrations are not caused in the surroundings

and the walls of the device� The feet of the device and the mounting plate should be cleaned

before each start-up�

After a program has been selected, the following menu options are available�

Start:

Starts the program when loop mode is requested:

• Inﬁnite loop: Upon completion of the last segment, the program continues with the ﬁrst

segment until the user ends the program by stopping a device function�

• Loop Count: Indicates the total number of loop cycles until program end�

!Notice!

At the end of the program all device functions are switched o�

Edit:

Change the program parameters of the selected program (edit, insert, delete or save)� When

you have edited the program time for at least one segment, an edit symbol ( ) appears for the

relevant program�

Ctrl�Mode Time / ± x�x K / RAMP

Time (time-controlled): Also, the target temperature that has been reached is

maintained for the time speciﬁed in the column “Time hh:mm:ss”� Then the

next program segment is automatically carried out�

± x.x K (gradient-controlled):The segment is ended when the target temper-

ature speciﬁed in the “Temp” column is reached within the control hysteresis

(tolerance) speciﬁed in the column “Control Mode (± x�x K)”�

RAMP (gradient-controlled):This enables even heating up with a deﬁned gradient

The segment is closed after the target temperature has been reached� The gradi-

ent in K/min comes from the quotient of the temperature dierence and the time

“Time hh:mm” speciﬁed in the current segment� The temperature dierence is cal-

culated from the target value temperatures of the current and preceding segment�
