9 Section 3 | Operation
Section 3 Operation
3.1 Operations on the Control Panel
The unit has been designed with a “soft
start/slow down” providing a
smooth acceleration/ deceleration
during operation. This feature will
decrease splashing of solutions from
vessels during operation.
Warning: The microprocessor control
system may take 1 minute to
synchronize the actual RPM of the
universal (aluminum) platform to the
desired RPM setting. Make sure that all
the flasks and test tubes are firmly
fixed on the universal platform and the
flask clamps are fasten securely
with the screws.
1) Display LED: Shows time or speed
2) RPM indicator light: LED shows
current speed
3) TIME indicator light: LED shows
current time
4) WARN indicator light: Over-speed
alarm
5) RUN indicator light: The instrument is
running
6) RPM/TIME Key: While instrument is in
operation, press to change time and
speed display; when setting
parameter, press to change minutes,
hour or speed.
7) Up Arrow Key: Increases value. Hold
for 3 seconds to increase rapidly
8) Down Arrow Key: Decreases value.
Hold for 3 seconds to decrease
rapidly.
9) Key: The power is On/Off.
10) Key: The instrument is running or
stopped.

5. Press key to run or stop.
Notes
1. When the shaker is running, the LED
display will switch between the speed
and timer function every 30 seconds
automatically. Press RPM/TIME key to
manually toggle between the speed
and timer value.
2. In “timer mode” the LED display will
show the remaining running time.
3. In “continuous mode” the LED display
will show elapsed run time.
4. After the run is complete, the LED
display will read “end”. Press any key
to place the shaker in standby mode.
3.3 Alarm System
Alarm System
1. During operation, the alarm will sound
after 10 seconds if the unit has not
begun shaking. In addition, the alarm
will sound and stop for the speed over
350 rpm after 2 seconds.
2. Once the shaker begins to alarm, the
RUN indicator light will not be visible
and the WARN indicator light will flash,
and the unit will stop running.
Power failure recovery
When the power supply is cut off
suddenly to the shaker, resulting in a
power failure, the unit will automatically
run at the previous set parameter upon
power restoration.

Section 4 Application
Application on Lab Benches
To operate the shaker outside of a CO2 incubator, refer to Specifications in Section 2.
Application in CO2 Incubator
Place the main body of the shaker in the CO2 incubator, and use the
signal cable to connect the control box through the access port of the CO2
incubator. Refer to Figure 4-1.
Warning
1. Never put the control box in the CO2
incubator.
2. The back of control box is magnetized,
and can be attached on the surface of
the CO2 incubator.
3. When the main body of CO2 Resistant
Shaker is in operation in the CO2
incubator, keep a safe distance from
the inner wall of the CO2 incubator to
avoid collisions.
4. The main body of the shaker should
be connected to the control box wire
through the access port of the CO2
incubator.
5. If the cells are sensitive to vibrations,
do not put them in the same incubator
or on the shaker.

Safety Tips
1. Confirm local power supply voltage
before use the unit.
2. The unit must not be plugged into a
power supply extension with other
pieces of equipment.
3. The data cable between the main
body and control box cannot be
extended.
4. Never modify the supplied power
cables.
5. Service should only be performed by a
qualified professional.
6. In the following situations, the power
supply must be unplugged:
◆ When the unit is moved.
◆ When the control box is opened.
◆ When a fuse is replaced.
◆ When the equipment is not
functioning properly.
◆ When the equipment is not in use.
Maintenance
Surfaces can be cleaned with mild
detergent and water. Liquid should not
be allowed to enter inside the unit.
Clean spill
If accidental spillage of liquids or other
materials occur on the platform, shut
down the machine and clean up the
liquids or other materials immediately.
Note: If liquid has entered the unit,
remove the platform and clean it. ▲
1. Turn off the machine and unplug the
power cord.
2. Remove the platform (with 4 screws).

ed for warranty determination and direction prior to performance of any repairs. Expendable items, glass, filters and gaskets are excluded from this
warranty.
Replacement or repair of components parts or equipment under this warranty shall not extend the warranty to either the equipment or to the compo
nent part beyond the original warranty period. The Technical Services Department must give prior approval for return of any components or equipment.
At Thermo's option, all non-conforming parts must be returned to Thermo Fisher Scientific postage paid and replacement parts are shipped FOB desti-
nation. THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL OR IMPLIED. NO WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY. Thermo shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential
