Instruction Manual | 1
1.0 Introduction
The Labnet Orbit™ Digital Shakers are intended for shaking microliter plates, 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.
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 Safety Precautions
Always plug the unit into a properly grounded and fused outlet.
Do not use the device near water sources. Take care so that water will not fall on the device, especially during cleaning procedures.
Do not use the device in a caustic or explosive atmosphere.
There are no user serviceable parts in the unit. Opening the unit may void the warranty. In case of a malfunction or liquid being
spilled into the unit, unplug the device from its power outlet and contact Corning Customer Service.
NOTE: In the case that the device does not function properly even if you have exactly followed the instructions described in
the User’s Manual, contact Corning Customer Service. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the
equipment may become unsafe to operate, could harm the user or the device, and may void the warranty.
Do not shake inflammable or explosive samples or use the unit in an inflammable or explosive environment.
3.0 Specications
The casings of the Labnet Orbit P4, 300, and 1000 are made of plastic. Bottom cover and upper plate are made of steel plate varnished
with high resistant polyurethane lacquer.
The housing of the Orbit 1900 is made from a high-grade cold rolled steel plate and painted with a highly resistant polyurethane
lacquer.

Instruction Manual | 3
NOTE: The supply cord shall be with PE conductor and cross section at least 3 x 1.00 mm2or 3 x AWG 18 (USA/CANADA).
The unit can be connected to external installation with overcurrent protective device max. value 16A or 20A (USA/CANADA). This
device is intended for use in a basic electromagnetic environment (Basic, class B), and it is in compliance with IEC 61326-1:2020. The
device may experience a restart during overvoltage events (surges) or voltage interruptions in mains power supply.
The Labnet Orbit™ Digital Shakers is designed to be safe when operated under the following conditions:
Indoor use
Altitude up to 2,000 meters
Pollution Degree 2
4.0 Installation
4.1 Unpacking
Before starting installation, carefully examine the shaker for damage or missing parts.
Open the box, and lift the device together with the 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 following are correct:
• Model
• Serial number
• Electrical rating
Should any kind of damage have occurred during transportation, contact the carrier immediately. The carrier is responsible for
shipping damage.
4.2 Selecting the Location
Put the device on a horizontal, leveled, and stable surface.
Leave enough space around the device for normal air circulation (4 in./10 cm minimum).
Leave enough space around the device for easy access and maintenance.
Do not use the device in surroundings where there are major temperature and humidity fluctuations. Also avoid locations in direct
sunlight or places near devices that produce heat.
Avoid locations with excessive vibrations.
4.3 Attaching the 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.
Be careful when you plug the cord to a grounded wall socket. Do not touch plug with wet hands. Do not pull the plug by the cord.
4.4 Installing Shaker Platforms
Labnet Orbit P4
Unit comes with the platform already installed.

Labnet Orbit™ 300
Grease
Stabilizers
0.7 mm
Before you attach the platform, make sure that the slide stabilizers are properly fastened, adjusted and lubricated with the included grease.
The flat mat platform has a circle cut-out in the rubber and screw holes in the center. Remove the cutout rubber circle and screw
down the four screws onto the shaker. After attaching the platform, remove the non-adhesive backing paper on the rubber circle
and paste it back into place.
The grease which you use to lubricate the slide stabilizers is sufficient for 1,000 working hours (1 year). After that time you should
remove the shaking platform and clean, adjust, and re-grease the slide stabilizers. If they are worn out, you should replace them
with new stabilizers and set to appropriate height.
Labnet Orbit 1000 and Orbit 1900
The Orbit 1000 and Orbit 1900 shakers have 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.

Contact Corning Customer Service.
Should you have a question about the operation of the Labnet Orbit™ Digital Shakers or if service is required, contact your Corning
representative. Do not send in a unit for service without first calling to obtain a repair authorization number. Should the unit require
return to Corning for service, it should be properly packed to avoid damage. Any damage resulting from improper packaging shall be
the responsibility of the user.
7.0 Maintenance and Cleaning
Before cleaning the device, unplug the main cord from the wall socket.
With the exception of the occasional maintenance described in Section 4.0 of this manual, no scheduled maintenance is normally
required. However, an experienced technician should regularly check the device operation at least once a year to make sure it is
operating correctly.
Regular cleaning of the housing is recommended.
The housing of the shaker can be cleaned with special cleaners for polyurethane (plastic) surfaces. A damp (not wet) cloth is
recommended.
NOTE: Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners (acetone, nitro, polish, etc.) because its surface can be permanently damaged.
