The Innova 2000/2050 is a portable benchtop shaker utilizing a triple eccentric counter-
balanced drive to provide horizontal plane rotary motion in a 3/4” (19 mm) circular orbit. A
Proportional/Integral (PI) microprocessor controller with instantaneous digital feedback
controls the speed over a range of 25-500 RPM.
The shaker may be operated either continuously or in a timed mode via a programmable timer
for shaking periods of 0.1 hour to 99.9 hours. A Temperature Monitoring option is available
for the measurement, display and documentation of sample temperature.
The Innova 2000/2050 is equipped with audible and visible alarms that are activated when
one of these alarm conditions exists:
• 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 2000/2050. Dedicated platforms are
available for a variety of flask sizes. Universal platforms, utility trays and utility carriers are
also available (see Section 7 for accessories).

Unless otherwise indicated, all drawings represent both Innova 2000
and Innova 2050 models.

2.1 Universal Power Module
The power module contains a voltage card and fuse holder which are used to select the
appropriate voltage and fusing. This universal power entry system adapts to
worldwide power requirements. Voltage and fusing have been set prior to shipment.
Innova shakers are available in 100V, 120V, 220V and 240V, and accommodates both
50 and 60 Hz frequencies.
2.2 Control Panel
The control panel (see Figure 2), located on the front of the instrument, serves as the
operator interface. The keypad has four keys marked START/STOP, S, Tand SELECT.
A three-digit LED display provides numeric values as well as some letter codes.
There are four function indicator and four status indicator lights on the control
panel as well.
A general description of the display, user interface keys and indicators follows. For
operation of the control panel, see Section 5, Operation.
WARNING!
It is critical to check the voltage before plugging the unit in to
a power source. Confirm that the voltage setting is correct by
checking the Voltage Selector in the Universal Power Module
(see Figure 1b) and the CAUTION label located over the power
switch and power cord connection.
If necessary, consult Section 6.2 to change the voltage
selection.

2.2.1 LED Display
The Innova control panel has a three-digit LED display. During normal shaker
operation, the display will indicate:
• Shaker status (on/off)
• Shaking speed
• Setpoints
• Hours remaining (timed run)
• Measured temperature (when Temperature Monitor option is installed)
2.2.2 User Interface Keys
There are four user interface keys on the control panel. Table 1 below explains
their functions:

Key Function
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.
S
T
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.
SELECT This key is used to change the displayed parameter.
NOTE: Temperature (°C) cannot be selected unless the
temperature/remote monitoring option is installed.
2.2.3 Status Indicators
Table 2 below explains the function of the four status indicator lights, which
are located to the left of the control panel display.
Table 2: Status Indicators
Status Light Function
MAINT Remains lit after 10,000 hours of use. Accumulated running time
is internally monitored and may be displayed as a guideline.
SET Indicates that the shaker is in the SET mode: setpoints are being
displayed and can be altered.
TIME Indicates that the timer is in operation. Innova shakers can be
programmed to run for a preset time from 0.1 hour to 99.9 hours.
The timer can be disengaged without stopping an ongoing run.
MUTE Indicates the status of the audible alarm: when the MUTE
indicator is illuminated, the audible alarm device is disabled.
2.2.4 Function Indicators
As show in Table 3 below, the four function indicator lights (located to the
right of the control panel display) show the current parameter being displayed:

2.3 Platform Assemblies
Neither the Innova 2000 nor the 2050 can be used without a platform. One must be
purchased and installed on your shaker prior to operation (see Section 4.3 for
installation instructions).
The Innova 2000 can be used with a wide range of NBS 11” x 13” (28 cm x 33 cm)
platforms, which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks, test tubes, etc. For details,
see the listing in Section 7.1.
The Innova 2050 can accommodate an even wider range of NBS 12” x 16” (30.5 cm x
40.6 cm) platforms, which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks, test tubes, etc.
For details, see the listing in Section 7.2.
2.4 Heavy Duty Construction
2.4.1 Bearings
Innova shakers employ sealed lubricated ball bearings of the highest quality.
Sealed bearings minimize the generation of airborne particulates that could be
disadvantageous in clean rooms or controlled environment areas. These
bearings require no maintenance.
2.4.2 Motor
Innova 2000 and 2050 shakers use a three-phase brushless ball bearing DC
motor. This low profile motor provides high torque along with quiet, efficient
operation and low maintenance. The motor has a rating of 1/20 horsepower.
2.4.3 Triple Eccentric Drive
The patented triple eccentric drive used in all Innova shakers employs the
same proven technology that has driven New Brunswick Scientific’s shakers
for over 30 years.
The 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.

2.5 Electronic Boards
The main control board for Innova shakers has the following functions:
• Non-volatile memory for storage of key parameters during power interruption;
• Speed sensing, electronic commutation, and power control for the brushless DC
drive motor;
• Maintains an elapsed running time clock;
• Contains firmware for shaker control as well as recognition of an expansion
connector for option modules;
• Provides an operator interface via displays, audible alarm, and connection to the
keypad module (keypad buttons and display graphics).
The optional Temperature Monitor module is designed to “piggyback” onto the main
board via an expansion connector. It has the following functions:
• Control of analog power supplies;
• Signal conditioning of RTD sensor readings;
• Provide remote monitoring capabilities by supplying analog outputs for speed and
temperature that are compatible with chart recorders and analog data acquisition
systems.
