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.

2.1 General Description
The 4900 Photosynthetic Light Manifold has six 20-watt fluorescent grow lamps
which are designed specifically for photosynthetic investigations. These lamps can be
operated manually or by a programmable electronic timer.
The electronic digital timer is a 24-hour, 7-day timer. It can control two banks of
lamps with up to 16 program steps of cycle operation. There is a second independent
timer channel which allows programmable activation of alternate temperature
setpoint. The timer assembly has an internal battery, which maintains correct time of
day when the power is off.
2.2 Programmable Light Control Panel
The programmable Light Control Panel is located on the main console of the Innova
4900 environmental chamber (see Figure 1). It can control up to two Photosynthetic
Light Manifolds.
Figure 1: Front View of Innova 4900
New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide

16
The two rocker Illumination Switches allow you to select each light bank
independently.
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. The timer maintains time of day and day of
week even when the Innova 4900 is turned off.
Illumination and alternate temperature are controlled by separate channels; they are
entirely are independent of one another. Each channel has a manual override switch
which allows the channel to be overridden on or off.
The Photosynthetic Light Manifold can be operated manually or in a programmed
mode (via the digital timer mounted on the main console), or it also can be controlled
by an optional computer.

4.1 Tools Needed
You will need the following tools to install the Light Manifold:
 A Phillips head screwdriver
 A ½-inch socket
 A 3/8-inch socket
 A socket wrench with six-inch extension
NOTE:
Before installing the Light Manifold, you must locate the position where
is will be installed. If this is the only Light Manifold system, it must be
mounted in the top set of mounting holes. See Figure 2 for possible
positions.

4.2 Beginning the Installation
1. Place the Innova 4900’s power switch in the OFF position, and disconnect the unit
from its power source.
2. Pull off the two trim strips from the main console panel (see Figure 1, repeated
below).
Figure 1: Front View of Innova 4900
3. Locate the following in your kit:
a. One ballast plate assembly M1197-5701.
b. Six 10-32 hex nuts
c. Six No. 10 flat washers
d. Six No. 10 split lock washers
4. Remove the lower panel assembly (see Figure 1). Save the hardware.
NOTE:
Where you position the ballast plate depends on the location you
choose for the Light Manifold. If you plan to mount the Light Manifold
in the upper half, mount the ballast plate on the left side of the panel. If
you plan to mount the Light Manifold in the lower half, mount the
ballast plate on the right side of the panel. See Figure 3 for reference.
