The Incubating Mini/Microplate Shakers have been designed for the
temperature, speed and time functions to work independently of one
another. The temperature and speed can be reset without resetting the
timer and the timer can be stopped and started without interrupting the
heating and shaking functions.
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 temperature,
speed and time displays will illuminate, displaying the previously
used settings.
2. Setting temperature:
a. Press the up/down arrows below the temperature display until you
reach the desired temperature. When you release the button, the
display will blink off and then on indicating the new set temperature
has been accepted.
b. Press the on/off button to start the heating function. The indicator
light below the temperature display will illuminate to indicate the
heating function is in use and remain lit until heating has ceased.
c. Temperature adjustments can be made without interrupting heating
by using the up/down arrows below the temperature display. After
the change has been made and you release the button, the display
will blink off and then on indicating the new set temperature has
been accepted.
d. To stop the heating function, press the on/off button below the
temperature display. The heat indicator light will turn off.
CAUTION HOT indicator:
The caution hot indicator light warns that the
temperature of the air in the chamber is above 40°C
(104°F). The light will illuminate and remain lit when the temperature
of the air in the chamber reaches approximately 40°C (104°F). When the
heat is turned off, the caution hot indicator light will stay lit until the
temperature of the air in the chamber is less than 40°C (104°F).
3. 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.
4. 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.
