Danger!
Warnings against injury and damage.
1. The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must confirm to all national and local
electric codes. Check the serial-data plate for voltage, cycle, phase and amperage
requirements before you connect the unit.
2. Only use grounded power source (outlet) to avoid an electric shock or fire, and it is
recommended that the equipment has an unobstructed access to a dedicated power
source.
3. In case of a problem, do not attempt to repair the product yourself. Do not open the
power box to avoid electric shocks.
4. Do not pull out the plug when the unit is in use. Never drag on the wire to unplug the
unit.
5. This equipment can sustain a maximum of ±10% nominal voltage fluctuation;
Otherwise a power stabilizer is needed.
6. A surge protector is recommended to avoid power-related faults.
7. In case of malfunction or burning smell, the unit must be unplugged immediately.
Use a circuit breaker to cut off the power supply. Continuance of abnormal state will
result in fire caused by overheating.
8. The electric power supply must be cut off in following situations:
8.1.-When opening the door of electrical power box without cutting off power supply
might result in electric shock.
8.2.-When replacing the fuse. Replacing the fuse without cutting off the power supply
will probably result in electric shock.
8.3.-When a malfunction occurs, mishandling will result in further damage of the
equipment or accidental injury to the user(s).
8.4.-If you do not use the unit for a long period of time.
9. Never touch the glass door and/or inner chamber when the incubator is hot.
Safety instruction!
Please be sure to follow the instructions, which are really
important for your safety.

1. Before starting your equipment, the unit must be placed horizontally on a solid, flat
floor, and elevated and leveled with four foot blocks.
2. The incubator needs even heat lost on all surfaces in order to maintain small
internal temperature variations. As a result, a minimum of 20 cm must be allowed
between the rear and sides of the incubator to any obstructions.
3. Do not locate the unit exposed to direct sunlight or near heating /cooling ducts.
4. The unit must be kept away from electromagnetic interference sources.
5. Flasks placed inside the shaking incubator should be placed to avoid (as much as
possible) imbalance on the shaking platform
6. Slam the door(s) will probably leads to damage of the equipment.
7. When in operation (the platform is still moving), do not open the lid (too much or
too long) as this might affect the temperature inside.
8. The incubator must be kept away from volatile, flammable, explosive liquids or
gases
9. Please keep the chamber clean. Regular cleaning is required.
Attention!

1. Performance Parameters
Both the interior and exterior are made of robust materials for lifetime operations.
The inner chamber is made of high quality #304 stainless steel sheets. All
exposed edges are de-burred to insure no sharp edges. The exterior is ABS
plastic finished with powder coated polyurethane finish, which is resistant to most
chemicals and easily cleaned with mild household detergents.
The shaking incubator’s microprocessor control system uses fast responding PT
100 sensors which commands and executes a special control algorithm that
energizes a solid-state switch to supply power to the heaters.
The control electronics are protected trough a circuit breaker that may trip at
110% of loading rate, but will trip within 1 second at 150% of load rating.
Curved tempered glass window lid provide complete visibility of chamber interior
and easy cleaning.
Shaking diameter stepless adjustable from 1-50mm
LCD display presents all actual and (pre)set parameters.
Electronic timer, from 0 –500 hours, automatic stop, audio/ visual alarm.
Password protection against unauthorized change of parameters.
Audible and visual alarms for motor temperature and set point deviations
Non-volatile memory for set point retention after a power interruption.
“Long-Life” brushless AC motor creates a smooth, quiet and uniformed shaking
motion
Option: unit equipped with RS-485 interface communication can be connected to
local network so that remote data logging and control can be achieved via laptop/
PCs.
