Upon receiving the Talboys Orbital/Microplate Shaker, check to ensure that no
damage has occurred during shipment. It is important that any damage that occurred
in transport is detected at the time of unpacking. If you do find such damage the carrier
must be notified immediately.
After unpacking, place the Orbital/Microplate Shaker on a level bench or table,
away from explosive vapors. Secure to an immovable work surface by pressing down
on the four (4) corners of the unit, creating a strong suction to the work surface (DO
NOT place on a bench mat). Ensure that the surface on which the unit is placed will
withstand typical heat produced by the unit. Always place the unit on a sturdy work
surface.
The Orbital/Microplate Shaker is supplied with a power cord that is inserted into
the IEC connector on the back of the unit first, then it can be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. The 120V unit plugs into a 120 volt, 50/60 Hz source. The 230V unit
plugs into a 230 volt, 50/60 Hz source.

The Orbital/Microplate Shakers have been designed for the speed and time functions
to work independently of one another. The speed can be reset without resetting
the timer and the timer can be stopped and started without interrupting the shaking
function.
1. Getting ready:
a. Plug the power cord into a properly ground outlet. The standby indicator light
will illuminate, verifying power to the unit.
b. Press the standby button to move the unit from standby mode. The standby
indicator light will turn off and the speed and time displays will illuminate,
displaying previously used settings.
2. Setting speed:
a. Press the up/down arrows below the speed display until you reach the desired
speed. When you release the button, the display will blink off and then on
indicating the new set speed has been accepted.
b. Press the on/off button to start the shaking function. The indicator light below
the speed display will illuminate to indicate the shaking function is in use and
remain lit until shaking has ceased. The microprocessor controlled ramping feature
slowly increases speed until the set-point is reached which helps to avoid
splashing, and provides excellent low end control.
c. Speed adjustments can be made without interrupting shaking by using the up/
down arrows below the speed display. After the change has been made and
you release the button, the display will blink off and then on indicating the new
set speed has been accepted.
d. To stop the shaking function, press the on/off button below the speed display.
The speed indicator light will turn off.
3. Setting time to zero (0:00) and continuous mode: Accumulated time.
a. Press and hold the on/off button below the time display. After three (3) seconds
the display will indicate the previous set time.
b. Simultaneously press both the up and down arrows, the display will indicate
zero (0:00). The unit time is now set to zero (0:00) minutes. Alternately, you can
use the up/down arrows to get to zero (0:00).
c. Press the on/off button below the time display. The display will indicate
accumulated time. The up/down arrows will become inactive. To stop timer,
press the on/off button again. IMPORTANT: This will NOT interrupt the shaking
function. Press the on/off button below the speed display to interrupt the
shaking function.
d. To reset, press and hold the on/off button below the time display. After three (3)
seconds the display will indicate the previous set time, which was zero (0:00).
4. Setting timed mode: Programmed time.
a. Press the up/down arrows below the time display until you reach the desired
time.
b. Start this function by pressing the on/off button below the time display. The unit
will run for the selected time, the up/down arrows will become inactive while the
timer is running. The unit will stop shaking when the time display reaches zero
(0:00). Four (4) audible beeps will indicate the count down function is complete.
The time display will default back to the set time. To repeat for the same time,
simply press the on/off button again.
c. To interrupt an automatic timing cycle before it is completed, press the on/off
button below the time display. The display will flash off and on to indicate the
time function is on “hold”. IMPORTANT: This will NOT interrupt the shaking
function. Press the on/off button below the speed display to interrupt the
shaking function. Restart the timer by pressing the on/off button below the
time display. Unit will continue counting down to zero (0:00). When the display
reaches zero (0:00), you will hear the four (4) audible beeps that indicate the
count down function is complete and shaking function will cease.

5. Turning unit off:
a. To turn the unit off, press the standby button. The speed and time displays
will be blank, the standby indicator light will illuminate. The Orbital/Microplate
Shaker should be kept in standby mode when not in use. To completely cut off
power to the unit, disconnect the power cord from the unit or unplug from the
wall outlet.
OPERATING TIPS
As a safety feature, a built-in program will shut power off to the motor if the tray is
prevented from rotating, or the unit is overloaded beyond its recommended weight
capacity.
Built-in memory maintains the last used speed and time settings during a power
interruption.
During operation, any rattling or ticking sounds may indicate a loose screw on the tray,
a tray attachment or an accessory. All accessories should be sufficiently tightened in
place before starting the unit.
Error Code Software Test Cause
E04 unit overloaded maximum load exceeded
loose foot (suction cup)*
Press the standby button to clear this error. Be sure the load is within the maximum
load capacity before restarting the unit. If the E04 error persists, switch the unit off and
contact your Talboys representative for repairs.
Error Code Software Test Cause
E03 drive system failure ceased bearing
drive belt broken
mechanical obstruction
loose foot (suction cup)*
Press the standby button to clear this error and remove the mechanical obstruction.
If the E03 error persists the reason may be a ceased bearing or broken drive belt
and should NOT be addressed by the end user. Switch the unit off and contact your
Talboys representative for repairs.
*In the event a foot (suction cup) has come loose from the bench top, the unit will
register an errant E04 or E03 error message due to the instability of the unit. Press the
standby button to clear this error. Firmly press down on the four (4) corners of the unit,
creating a strong suction to the work surface (DO NOT place on bench mat). Press the
standby button to resume operation.
