Section 3 Operation
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. s

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.
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.
