INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a water bath shaker. This unit is not intended for use
at hazardous or household locations. Before you use the unit, read this entire
manual carefully to understand how to install, operate, and maintain the unit in
a safe manner. Your satisfaction with the unit will be maximized as you read
about its safety and operational features.
Keep this manual on-hand so it can be used by all operators of the unit. Be
sure all operators of the unit are given appropriate training before you put the
unit in service.
Note: Use the unit only in the way described in this manual. Failure to follow

General Safety Considerations
Your water bath shaker and its recommended accessories have been
designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements.
For continued safe operation of your water bath shaker, always follow basic
safety precautions including:
•Read this entire manual before using the water bath.
•Be sure you follow any city, county, or other ordinances in your area
regarding the use of this unit.
•Use only approved accessories. Do not modify system components.
Any alterations or modifications to your water bath may be dangerous
and will void your warranty.
•Always plug the unit’s power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that
conforms to national and local electrical codes. If the unit is not
grounded, parts such as knobs and controls may conduct electricity
and cause serious injury.
•Do not connect the unit to a power source of any other voltage or
frequency beyond the range stated on the power rating overlay at the
rear of the unit.
•Do not modify the power cord provided with the unit. If the plug does
not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
•Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not bend it excessively, step on it,
place heavy objects on it. A damaged cord can easily become a shock
or fire hazard. Never use a power cord after it has become damaged.
•Do not position equipment in a manner that prohibits access to power
cord.
•Do not attempt to move the unit during operation or before the unit has
been allowed to cool.

Carefully check all packaging before discarding. Save the shipping carton until
you are sure everything is in order.
Returning Shipment
If you must return the unit for any reason, first contact your service
representative for authorization. You will be asked to provide the data plate
information. See Recording Data Plate Information.

INSTALLATION
Your satisfaction and safety require a complete understanding of this unit.
Read the instructions thoroughly and be sure all operators are given adequate
training before attempting to put the unit in service.
This equipment must be used only for its intended application; any alterations
or modifications will void your warranty. Local city, county, or other ordinances
may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any questions about local
requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. The end user may
perform installation.
Customer service should be contacted for operating conditions outside these
limits.
Environmental Conditions
Under normal circumstances these units are intended for use indoors, at room
temperatures between 18ºC and 40ºC, at no greater than 80% relative
Humidity (at 25ºC) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by more than
10% from the data plate rating.
Power Source
Check the data label for voltage, cycle, and ampere requirements. If matched
to your power source, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
Voltage should not vary more than ± 10% from the data label rating.
These units are intended for 50HZ application. A separate circuit is
recommended to prevent damage to the unit due to overloading or circuit
failure.
Location
In selecting a location, consider all conditions that might affect performance,
such as heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-
moving air currents, heating and cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. Allow a
minimum of 30 cm between the unit and any walls or partitions that might
obstruct free airflow.

Lifting and Handling
These units can be heavy for some people and care should be taken to use
appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Units
should only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Handles and knobs are not
adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be completely restrained
from tipping during lifting or transport.
All moving parts such as trays or covers should be removed during transfer to
prevent shifting and damage.
Cleaning and Decontamination
In the event hazardous material is spilled onto or into the equipment
appropriate decontamination must be carried out. If there is any doubt about
the compatibility of decontamination or cleaning agents with parts of the
equipment or with material contained, please contact the manufacturer.
Units are cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove any racks if
assembled and clean the bath with a disinfectant that is suitable for your
application. See Maintenance Section for cleaning instructions and
precautions.

CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS
OVERVIEW
Power Switch
The Red (On/Off) power switch, located in the bottom right hand corner of the
control panel, controls all power to the unit. It must be in the I position to be
ON and illuminated before any systems are operational. The on/off switch
must remain easily accessible at all times.
Shaker Switch
The Red (On/Off) shaker switch, located above the power switch, controls the
power to the shaker. It must be in the I position to be ON and illuminated to
operate the shaker.
Bath Cover
Using the bath cover supplied with your accessories will accelerate heat-up
time and reduce evaporation.
The cover must be used to reach set points above 60ºC. The bath cover is not
designed to be airtight and create a pressurized environment.
Water level indicator
The water level indicator is indicating the water level in the tank to avoid
damages to the heating element.
If the LED is lit, it is indicate that the tank is empty or there is not enough
water in the tank

Fill water minimum until the LED is OFF or fill more water above the minimum
permitted
Remember that if the tank is empty or if the water level is too low, the heating
process will not start.

Setting the Temperature
Put the front switch on CONTINUES
Turn on the temperature controller/power switch. The temperature displays light up
and after a few seconds, the upper display shows the present value (PV) temperature.
The lower display shows the set value (SV) or set temperature.
Press to increase temperature gradually.
Press to decrease temperature gradually.
Auto-Tuning (only if needed)
Instrument has been set the best PID value; we suggest executing auto-calculating
when temperature is unstable. Enter auto-calculating:
Press and hold until appears on the display then release.
Press and hold at least 5 seconds. The TUNE indicator will begin to flash
and the auto-tuning procedure is beginning.
After the Auto-Tuning process is completed, the TUNE indicator will stop
flashing and the unit will revert to PID control by using its new PID values. The
PID values obtained are stored in nonvolatile memory.
Note: To enable auto-tuning the lock parameter should be set to 1000.
