New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide
Innova Shakers are warranted by New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc.
for two years or 10,000 hours of actual shaker use, whichever comes later.
This warranty covers parts and labor for the entire machine, with the exception
of glassware and its contents. This warranty covers faulty components and
assembly, and our obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing
the shaker or part thereof which shall, within two years after date of shipment or
10,000 hours of operating time, prove to be defective after examination. This
warranty does not cover any loss of time, materials, biological or biochemical by-
products caused by any work interruption resulting from shaker failure, nor does it
extend to any Innova Shaker which has been subjected to misuse, neglect, accident
or improper installation or application. In addition, the warranty does not apply to
any Innova Shaker that has been repaired or altered outside the NBS factory without
prior authorization from New Brunswick Scientific. For a period of two years (or
more) after the shipment date, the Innova warranty will be in effect as long as
the shaker has not been in operation for a total of 10,000 hours. After the
10,000 hours of operating time have elapsed, the Innova warranty may
still be in effect, as long as the two-year minimum warranty period
has not been reached. Operating time is based on actual usage
of the shaker, as determined by the shaker’s internal
electronic clock. Any tampering or alteration of
the clock will void the 10,000-hour
warranty.

1.1 General Description
The Innova 4340 Digital Illuminated Refrigerated Incubator Shaker will provide
you with reliable and maintenance-free operation which is characteristic of all
NBS shakers. The Innova 4340 is among the newest generation of NBS shakers. It
incorporates a variety of state-of-the-art components and features to permit the
precision operation necessary for your exacting scientific experiments.
The Innova 4340 shaker has a triple eccentric counterbalanced drive to provide
horizontal plane rotary motion in a 1 inch (25.4 mm) circular orbit. A
Proportional/Integral (PI) Microprocessor controller with instantaneous digital
feedback controls the speed over a range of 25-500 rpm. It also provides
temperature control over a range of 4°C to 60°C (at 20°C ambient). The internal
chamber is 34 ¾ inches (88.3 cm) wide, 22¼ inches (56.6 cm) deep, 19¼ inches
(48.9 cm) above the platform and will accept flasks up to 4 liters. It is equipped
with a foot pedal lid lift assist.
The Innova 4340 has an illuminated cover that allows up to six grow lamps to be
operated manually or by a programmable electronic timer. An auxiliary channel
of the electronic timer may be used to program the temperature controller to
switch to an alternate setpoint at desired times.
The shaker may be operated either continuously or in a timed mode for shaking
periods of 0.1 to 99.9 hours via the main control microprocessor.
The Innova 4340 is equipped with audible and visible alarms that are activated
when an alarm condition exists as follows:
•The end of a timed run
•Deviations of shaking speed or temperature outside of tolerance limits
A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 4340. Dedicated
platforms are available for a variety of flask sizes. A Universal platform and test
tube racks are available (see Section 9 for Accessories).
Additionally, the Innova 4340 has analog outputs for a chart recorder that will
record speed and/or temperature. (See Section 7, Service, for Recorder
Adaptation.)

2.1 Universal Power Capability
A voltage selector incorporated in the power entry module and a frequency
selector switch are used to select the appropriate voltage and frequency. This
universal system adapts to worldwide power requirements.

5
New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide
Innova shakers are available in 100V, 120V, 220V and 240V, and accommodate
both 50 and 60 Hz frequencies. Voltage and frequency have been set prior to
shipment.
2.2 Main Control Panel
The main control panel (see Figure 4 below) is located on the front of the
instrument. It serves as the operator interface.
The keypad has four keys: Start/Stop, Δ, ∇and Select. A three-digit LED display
provides numeric values as well as some letter codes. There are also four function
indicator lights and four status indicator lights on the control panel. A general
description of the display, user interface keys and indicator lights is provided
below. For operation of the control panel, see Section 4, Operation.
WARNING!
It is CRITICAL to check the voltage and frequency settings
before you plug the unit into a power source.
•Confirm that the voltage setting is correct by checking the
voltage selection on the Power Entry Module (see Figure 2)
and the caution label located over the power cord
connection.
•Confirm that the frequency setting is correct by checking the
position of the Frequency Selection Switch (see Figure 2).
If either setting needs to be changed, refer to Section 7.2
regarding Changing Voltages & Frequency.

Figure 4: Control Panel
2.2.1 LED Display
The display on the Innova control panel is a 3-digit LED display. During
normal shaker operation, the display will indicate:
•Shaker status (on/off)
•Shaking speed
•Setpoints
•Hours remaining (timed run)
•Measured temperature
•Lid - (cover open-shaker operation stops)
2.2.2 User Interface Keys
•START/STOP
This key is used to start or stop the shaking motion. It will also activate
or stop the timer when a timed run is desired.

7
New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide
•SELECT
This key is used to change the displayed parameter.
•Δ, ∇
These keys are used to adjust the setpoint of a displayed parameter up
or down. They also allow the user to enter the SET mode for setpoint
changes.
2.2.3 Indicator Lights
Status Indicators
Four status indicator lights are located to the left of the LED display. They
are:
•MAINT
Lights to indicate that 10,000 hours have elapsed since the unit was last
serviced.
•SET
Indicates that the shaker is in the SET mode, and setpoints are being
displayed. Setpoints can be altered in this mode.
•TIME
Indicates that the timer is in operation. Innova shakers can be
programmed to run for a preset time from 0.1 to 99.9 hours without
stopping an ongoing run. The timer can be disengaged or reset.
•MUTE
Indicates the status of the audible alarm. When the MUTE indicator is
illuminated, the audible alarm device is disabled.
Function Indicators
Four function indicator lights are located to the right of the LED display.
They indicate the current parameter being displayed:
•RPM: revolutions per minute
•Hours: time remaining
•°C: temperature
•* alternate temperature setpoint

2.3 Illumination Control Panel
The illumination control panel (see Figure 7) is located on the front of the
instrument. It controls the cover illumination. Three switches allow selection of
the illumination pattern. The programmable electronic timer allows the operator to
program illumination periods on a daily or weekly basis with up to 16 steps of
memory or continuous cycles. In addition, the timer may be used to activate or de-
activate the alternate temperature setpoint for the incubator. Illumination and
alternate temperature are controlled by separate channels and are independent of
one another. Each channel has a manual override switch that allows the channel to
be overridden, on or off. The timer tracks the time of day and the day of week
even when the Innova 4340 is turned off.
Detailed information for programming and operating the timer is available in
Section 4, Operation.
2.4 Platform Assemblies
The Innova 4340 can be used with a wide variety of NBS 18 inch x 30 inch (46 cm
x 76 cm) platforms, which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks and test tubes
(see Section 9 for Accessories).
2.5 Quick-Change Platform Kit
This easy-load accessory enables the user to snap in platforms without tools or
hardware (M1193-9931). Recommended for speeds up to 400 rpm.
2.6 Heavy Duty Construction
2.6.1 Triple Eccentric Drive
The Triple Eccentric Drive (See Figure 5 below) used in the Innova
Shakers employs the same proven technology that has driven New
Brunswick Scientific’s shakers for over 30 years. This drive mechanism
utilizes a counterweight system to stabilize the rotary motion produced
during operation. When the workload moves in one direction, opposing
forces are generated to stabilize the shaker. This action will help eliminate
the problem of “walking” which may occur with less precisely balanced
instruments. Vibration is minimized and the life of the unit is extended.
