Scientific Industries ROTATOR GENIE SI-2100 User manual

The ROTATOR GENIE™ is designed to provide variable
speed rotating in a compact, durable and user-friendly unit.
The unit’s compact footprint will fit into most incubators
allowing for controlled enviroment mixing. Model SI-210X
(Fig.1) has a durable thermoplastic platform that securely
holds vessels with super stretch latex rubber strapping.
Model SI-220X (Fig.2) has a magnetic platform that
securely holds various spring clip mounting plates and bag
mounting strips (accessories sold separately). Platforms are
interchangeable and can be ordered separately. Rotating
speeds can be easily adjusted with fingertip speed control
knob. These units are ideal for mixing of almost any kind of
laboratory samples.
GENIE™ mixers are the “Gold Standard” for laboratory mixers. The quality and reliability, that you have come to know so well, are
characteristics that are, by design, an integral part of all “GENIE” products.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend you retain the original packaging for 90 days in case you need to return the product for any reason to your distributor or
Scientific Industries.
1.0 – Plug the line cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. (120 VAC for the SI-2100 & 2200 models; 230/240 VAC for the SI-
2101-SI-2104 and SI-2106 / SI-2201-SI-2204 and SI-2206 models; 100 VAC for the SI-2105 & SI-2205 models).
Illuminated ON/OFF switch indicates that the unit is ON and ready for use.
1.1 – ROTATOR GENIE with Standard Platform
The Standard Platform has a unique center pivot that allows it to be rotated 90° perpendicular to the rotating motion of the unit. The
friction pivot automatically locks the platform in any desired position, giving the user maximum control over the mixing action (Fig.3).
Rubber strapping locks the vessels in place (Fig.4). The platform has center locking tabs for adjusting the length of the straps to
accommodate a large range of vessel sizes and shapes (Fig.5). The Standard Platform is easily removed without tools and can be
interchanged with the versatile Magnetic Platform (Fig.6).
1.2 – ROTATOR GENIE with Magnetic Platform
The rotator is supplied with a magnetic platform and may be used with any of the accessories available
(listed under “ROTATOR GENIEAccessories”) to provide maximum application versatility and can be
purchased through most laboratory equipment distributors or visit scientificindustries.com.
The Magnetic Platform is easily removed without tools (Fig.6) and can be interchanged with the
versatile Standard Platform.
2.0 – LOADING SAMPLES / ADJUSTING SPEED
Both sides of the platforms can be loaded. Position vessels evenly distributed on both sides of the platform. Uneven loading may result
in inconsistent rotating speed/motion. Should this occur, turn the unit off and redistribute the vessels. Position the vessels within
the footprint of the platform to ensure sufficient rotating clearance. Before continuous operation, turn the speed control knob to the
lowest setting and turn the power switch on and off, slowly cycling the rotation to ensure that the tubes will clear the ROTATOR GENIE
housing. Select the speed by turning the speed control knob until the desired speed is attained. If using the ROTATOR GENIE in a
cold room, allow the unit to acclimate to the room temperature before setting the exact speed.
2.1 – “STANDARD PLATFORM”
Adjust the rubber strapping, as required, and position the tubes/containers onto the platform. Rotate the platform angle to produce the
desired motion. See 2.0 above for tube clearances and speed control.
2.2 – “MAGNETIC PLATFORM”
Clip plate accessories may be aligned at various angles to produce different motions within the tubes. See 2.0 above for tube
clearances and speed control.
2.3 – REPLACING FUSE
The electronics are protected by a quick blow 5 x 20mm, 0.5 amp fuse.

To replace the fuse, locate the fuse holder on the back of the housing. Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the cap and push gently while
turning ¼ turn counterclockwise. Allow the cap to come off the fuse. Remove the fuse from the cap and insert the proper replacement
fuse. Push the fuse and cap back into the fuse holder and rotate the cap clockwise until it locks in.
CAUTION! Do not lift your ROTATOR GENIE™ by the platform.
CAUTION! Failure to follow operating instructions can compromise the user’s safety.
CAUTION! Unplug from power before cleaning. Do not immerse.
Care and Handling
Your ROTATOR GENIE should be given the care normally required for any electrical appliance. Avoid wetting or unnecessary
exposure to fumes. The finish can be washed (after unplugging) with water and soap or detergents, using a cloth or sponge. Keep
the unit clean by immediately blotting any spills. Do not autoclave. Replacement parts are available through your laboratory
equipment distributor or directly from Scientific Industries. Refer to “Parts Assembly List”.
CAUTION! Replace fuse with the correct type and value only.
CAUTION! Ensure that the power is off before replacing the fuse.
